Weird investigations

As a contributor to this blog I suppose it's only fair that I make a contribution and what better to discuss that something I know a fair bit about.

I have been personally researching paranormal phenomena for just over five years and the one thing that became apparent to me very early on was the publics fascination with paranormal research and investigations and the popular paranormal events that are catered towards people with a general interest in 'ghost hunting.'

One thing that is for certain though is that such events don't actually give a true representation of what paranormal research really is like. I mean, watch a television show and it seems that paranormal investigations are adventure packed evenings full of weird goings-on. Lots of technical gadgets are used and the odd psychic or medium will communite with the spirits at the location and tell you exactly what is what. This isn't what it's like at all; or at least, it isn't what is should be like for an objective and rational team or researcher.

Many paranormal companies that put together experience packages for the general public normally cater to this image of paranormal investigation and in doing so mislead peoples view of what paranormal investigators are and what they do.

This is what makes Weird Investigations run by Weird Events completely different because the whole point of Weird Investigations is not to take you on what we tell you is a 'paranormal investigation' but to actually introduce you to paranormal investigation and to show you just what works and what doesn't.

We try our best to help you form a clearer picture of what does and does not work in regards to studying and researching a possible haunting. We don't claim to have the facts, however what we do have is a large collective of years of study and experience and an unbiased approach.

For example, many of the gadgets used by a proportion of paranormal investigation groups don't actually work in any proactive manner at a haunted location despite what they may tell you - at Weird Investigations you'll get a chance to see and use these gadgets and find out exactly what they do and do not do.

You'll also get to try your hand at table tipping or glass divination (if the location allows it) and see what it really is that makes these things work.

When we first came up with the idea of Weird Investigations it was so that we could help people to understand that what you see on telly, or read in some books and magazines and websites isn't always a true representation of the paranormal researc field.

You can't experience a paranormal investigation in one evening like many people claim - it just isn't enough time to cover all aspects of a case study. However, what you will experience in Weird investigations is a guide through what does and does not work, how it does or does not work and a clear introduction to paranormal investigations whilst getting to check out some truly fascinating places at the same time.

I hope this goes some way towards explaining what weird investigations are about, and if not why not leave any questions in a comment below?
