The Paranormal Blog

Over the years we have had MULTITUDES of people suggesting that we go and look into certain places that have had a recent traumatic event or something along those lines.

We even got wind of another group looking into investigating a place in Toronto that has had a lot of publicity because of it's tragic nature. They assumed that even though there have not been any reports of ghosts there, since so many people have perished at this location, it MUST be haunted. Brilliant logic ... not!

All I can say or point out is that even though the study of "ghostly phenomena" usually revolves around the dead, we, and many people that are still VERY emotionally involved, are quite alive and *GASP* we have feelings! Ask yourself this, if your best friend or a close relative died tragically, would you want a group of "ghost enthusiasts" doing web pages and reports about that person? Would you want them trampling the site of your dearly departed's death scene or worse yet, where they are buried?

There is a time and a place for everything and looking into certain sites of recent problems is not just wrong, it's insensitive and it's in truly bad, bad taste.

There's an old (and frankly tired,) statement but it's quite true and extremely valid... Life is for the living. Let the living mourn before you decide it would be too cool to look into the possibilities of a ghost.

And THAT'S a smack!
