What do you consider the best thing media coverage has done for paranormal research?

     I agree with Ghostbreakers.  Nothing!!!  We are amusement for them on Halloween.  Such is life, that's why we like dead people.


What do you consider the worst impact media coverage has had on paranormal research?

     Making us look like morons.  The paranormal soap opera's, the shows done for hype and not reality of what we do.  We almost have to reprogram clients who watch these show, because they don't see the whole process or they think we have definitive answers.  We don't, it's all theory. 

     Another thing media has done is sprouted more groups who think they can watch a show and become hunters themselves.  They run around, never have read a book or done research, but think they know what they are doing.  Then they get a client and muck everything up, making the rest of us look like morons.

Does media coverage generate a skewed perspective for the audience?

     Yeah!!!!!  Like I said above, they don't show the whole 10 hour investigation, the exhaustion, how to listen for an evp, what matrixing is, waivers being signed and all the theories.  Media sucks.

Any other comments:

      Until the media takes us seriously, we won't be holding hands and hugging them anytime soon.

LOL I have a show planned that will rock the world. Make peoples eyeballs spin around in their heads. And it will put an end to all media shows of the paranormal.

Seriously the media has done nothing for paranormal investigations except to down play them. Radio is probably the best available source for putting out good information. But even the Radio shows have sort of like a cult following of listeners which in their own way destroy the message of these shows and the information being put out.
