Ghost Hunting and Cash

I have recently begun to notice that a lot of groups simply get into ghost hunting for all the wrong reasons. They are looking to make a buck or simply to get quick fame. I see all these groups doing their own radio shows are fake tv shows and trying to plaster their faces all over the internet in a desperate need for attention and the almighty dollar. This blog is simply my warning to those seeking knowledge on the paranormal to be careful of these types of groups. They may seem flashy and cool and right in your face as the way to gather the knowledge that you seek but when they are charging you for ghost hunting classes or conferences to meet so called celebrities that have no more knowledge than your average run of the mill ghost hunter then caution flags should always fly up. Never pay for ghost hunting classes or anyone selling their so called "knowledge" of a subject. Remember: none of this is proven science. None of this is real in the sense that we have absolute scientific proof that ghost even exist. That has yet to happen! Nor do we know that any of the tools we use as ghost hunters even tracks paranormal activity. Do not pay for conferences to meet people who want to charge you for their book or autograph. All the information you can get from these so called classes or conferences can be found on your own by watching any paranormal TV show or doing a quick internet search. Go out on your own and learn by doing! Get out there and make mistakes and learn from them, it's the best way to learn anything new. Always follow simple rules of course - #1 being safety and always have permission to be on a location. Never provoke and never do anything disrespectful. Other than that you will find all the knowledge you seek without paying a dime. Remember there are good people in this field, lots of them. Look for the ones willing to share and to teach for free. The ones who care about advancing this field and making it more scientific. The ones who shed a good positive light on the future of ghost hunting rather than making it into a commercial enterprise. Most importantly, use common sense.
