ghost hunters in general

[stormtiger]

My personal opinion is for the most part most of these ghost hunters are frauds, trying to

satisfy something that they lack personally. I am not saying I don't necessarily don't believe there are ghost's out there. I am saying these ghost hunting groups for the most part are Idiots with way to much time on there hands. And these shows like Most Haunted suck people into believing that it's all real, when they have been caught red handed

faking it. Until recently I would have had a hard time believing in the ghost theory but I have some strange pictures that I took that I still believe can be explained, but it does make one wonder. So after checking the pictures out professionally and having them tested 11 diferent times by 11 different professionals no one had an answer for me has to what it is. And has you can tell from my name I chase storms so I pretty much believe

in only what I see. But after talking to some people they suggested letting some of the ghost hunters look at them just to see if they could explain them and just has I expected would happen did. Only a few made any contact and I considered them all nut's to say the least. One was very happy to see the pictures so I sent them to his group and he emailed me back all p***ed off because my 12 pictures took up all his email space, even though he knew they were coming and wanted to see them. Then there were the sensitives which

I consider the Idiots who are people who think their blessed beyond reality and every dead person what's to talk to them. Or those who believe every piece of dust is a orb of a dead persons spirit floating around and haunting everything. Unbelieviable the crap these groups put out.

First of all welcome to UM.

I would have to agree with you that 'most haunted' is over hyped BS and the liverpudlian Derek the self-proclaimed psychic is a complete nonse with an over-active imagination.

The most convincing ghost hunting show I've seen is Ghost Hunters (TAPS). Although the sponsor and broadcaster Scifi hamper it alot with over hype and over-dramatic sound effects to try and get the ratings up, I find that they are actually causing more harm than good.

I'd be very grateful if you could show us the pictures you have, although alot of us have no distinguishable background in this specific field, we might be able to clarify or give new opinions to the images that may not have been mentioned previously.

All the best, DR.

There are certainly a lot of frauds out there who do seem more intent on proving that ghosts are real rather than just trying to expose the truth (whatever it may be) behind a reported haunting. You only have to view some of the video footage submitted by ghost hunting groups to see this. Some of these people even go to the length of faking footage (often not very convincingly) of ghosts. I can never understand why anyone would be sad enough to do this.

these shows like Most Haunted suck

Yes they most certainly do. The conditions under which they operate are far from scientifically controlled and on these shows there is fake paranormal activity galore. Judging by the popularity of these shows I'd say there are a significant number of television viewers out there who are quite obviously mentally retarded. It is a disgrace....why are these poor people not given the medical care that they need and deserve??? Government cutbacks, that's why!

There are vast swathes of idiots covering the globe. Some of these certainly do think they are special and have psychic abilities despite the fact that they consistently demonstrate the opposite. Some of these so called psychics couldn't be more far from the mark if they tried. There are individuals who do appear to believe that every piece of dust is a spirit orb and every dirty mark on the wall is a depiction of The Virgin Mary. Anyone who takes photographs will in all probability capture dust particles at some point. Yet these individuals immediately jump to the conclusion that their photographs are something out of the ordinary. They want to believe way too much.

On the other hand there are some psychics or mediums who seem very genuine and are quite consistent in providing accurate information. Also a small handful of photographs which appear to show something very unusual are difficult to explain.

Umm....Welcome..

I would however theres a problem with a family of a gentlman who was murdered in this park. And I don't want these pictures out there and people calling it his ghost! Somehow these pictures have brought some comfort to them with there loss, and no matter how I feel about the pictures I would have a hard time causing anymore pain to them.

Go to the help section, for more info but you need to host them first on a site like photobucket or imageshack and then put the url tags here. And voila!
