The Paranormal Blog

In a field that's fighting for legitimacy such as paranormal investigations, we're always happy to find people that present themselves and their efforts with decorum and a certain professional style that adds much to our own efforts by letting people know that the folks looking into these things are sturdy, upward-moving, upward-thinking folks.

Truth to tell, however, is how many of them are quite literally crappy.

Go ahead! Do a "Google" search under "Ghost Hunters"... and you'll see... many of them are just crappy... literally!

Yup, literally.

Why?

Well, you won't believe how many hard-core "ghost hunters" actually add to their reports that they... well... um... had an accident in their pants.

Don't laugh... it seems to be an epidemic of "ghost hunters" with problems controlling their bowels.

You wouldn't believe how many times you'll see the words "I pooped my pants!" or "It scared the (naughty word for poo) out of me!"

Heck, one group with a television show in Canada had a website that rated their on-site investigations by how many times they evacuated their innards with a cute baby-diaper icon to match!

Y'know, not ONCE in the decade we've been doing our work have we had a need to put adult diapers into our equipment bag... but it seems there's an overwhelming number of groups and solo investigators out there that this seems to be something they need and it's surprising how often they apparently need them.

One thing always springs to my mind when reading reports that contain "fear-based scatological references" though... Imagine, if you will, that you decide that the whacky things happening in your home or business need looking into... so you decide to contact a group or a single investigator.

You go to their website to look at their previous work and notice that they had expelled solid waste a time or two previously...

...now... do you want this person in your home or business?

Do you want them anywhere near you at all, so to speak?

I mean, if they're dropping loads and leaving stinky steamers whenever they get a touch frightened...

{{shudder}}

What's more scary? The odd occurrences... or having to "stoop and scoop" some paranormal investigator's feces?

I tell you, it's just a crappy thing...

Okay, humour off now...

If you want to gain more confidence from your witnesses and more consideration from people who might allow you to investigate (or even visit) their sites, DON'T TELL US HOW YOUR LAUNDRY BILL IS A BIT HIGHER AFTER YOUR EXPERIENCES AT A SITE!

To be truthful, if you're that much of a "regular" investigator, don't feel the need to let us in on your bran intake.

Truth to tell, neither ourselves nor anyone else needs to know...

...and it makes your professionalism just look like dung.
