Wordless Wednesday - The Reality Of Ghost Investigations

L-R Sue, Chris, and Bonnie.

The media tends to portray ghost investigation as highly exciting, and a thrill by the minute. The reality is that 99.9 percent of the time it is not.

Last Saturday we investigated a well known Toronto pub that is currently experiencing an active haunt. We do not have permission to name the site at this point, but some details will be published to the TGHRS site at the next update. The situation has freaked out some of the pub's staff members, and in fact one (a cook) quit on the spot recently after encountering a rather dreadful apparition. However, as you can see from above the majority of our time was spent holding vigil in a damp, dusty, moldy basement office where the majority of the reported activity has occurred. Not too exciting or spooky sounding is it!

Happy Wordless Wednesday, and thank you for stopping by!

I can imagine that for every promising result there are hours of nothing. That's research whatever the field! Happy WW

Fascinating stuff. Those who acknowledge the reality and experience of a world beyond or alongside this one are always scoffed at. We still have a hangover from the Age of Reason.

I could not agree with you more . .

"The media tends to portray ghost investigation as highly exciting, and a thrill by the minute. The reality is that 99.9 percent of the time it is not."

We get around this problem by, good company, equipment to monitor, a food supply and rotating the investigators between vigil locations and proper breaks. Even if the evening is pretty flat, we try to have a good time.

It might appear on a TV show, that it is non stop action yet these TV shows are filmed over several nights.
