I want to be a Ghost Hunter!
So,
you love the paranormal, you love all the mysteriously
disturbing things involved with the research, perhaps you love
even more that people are out there that will believe you and
what has happened to you to make you want to research ghosts
and the paranormal… you want to be a ghost hunter!
Anyone
can be a ghost hunter, you do not need to belong to a team,
have a nifty website or be on national television to be
respected for your research. If you keep a practical mindset
and not go overboard, you can be the ultimate ghost hunter in
your area! No, I am not promising this to you, but I did want
to point out that there are no such things as “chosen
people” in the field of parapsychology. In actuality the
people in the field were more than likely directed just as you
were. Either by personal “ghost incident” or they just
couldn’t find another hobby that floated their boat. Yes, I
affirmed that ghost hunting is just a hobby.
A
hobbyist is nothing more than a person who pursues an activity in
their spare time for pleasure or gratification. If you are not
getting any pleasure or fulfillment from your hobby, you may
want to consider digging a little deeper on why you are
chasing specters. If you are at the point in your research
where you are selling your personal property, maxing out your
credit cards, filing bankruptcy to pay for new equipment or
you are spending time away from your friends and family with
your excessive traveling, you may want to reconsider seeking
some advice from someone who is not in the field of parapsychology,
but psychology.
I
have personally witnessed teams who have broke the bank trying
to prove the existence of ghosts, a lot of ruined personal
relationships, neglected children just to be exploiting the
financial and personal gains of ghost hunting… some have
declared this to be “the
curse” while I say it is people spending way too much
time to fill some kind of other void in their life.
So, I do want to
ask you to ask yourself, why do you want to be a ghost hunter?
Dedication
is what is required to be a ghost hunter. Not countless hours
in an abandoned dairy farm waiting for an EMF meter to go off.
Dedication is nothing more than believing in something
wholeheartedly. Dedication does not indicate going broke,
neglecting your family and/or become negligent with your
everyday life.
If
you believe you are a ghost hunter, then you will be one! If
you do not like the phrase “Ghost Hunter”, I apologize; it
is not designed to be offensive. Truth is that, this is what
we all are ghost
hunters until we find our personal reasoning or special
interest in the field of parapsychology.
