This is my response: In my opinion the paranormal is legit. I've seen too much in my life to say poo poo to it. Yes, I know there a bunch of really smart people out there with a million pieces of scientific evidence proving that ghosts do not exist. My response to that is that not everything can be so easily explained and.......what if you're wrong? When it comes to anything paranormal both sides have compelling "evidence" but both sides need to remain open to the idea that maybe they called it wrong. That being said......
When a horrific crime of any nature but especially one involving children takes place, we all want to find the person or people who are responsible and we all want justice. When such crimes remain unsolved we begin to blur the lines between justice and curiosity. An example of this would be Lizzy Borden, The Viscilla Axe murders and Jack The Ripper to name a few. Nearly 100 years later we are fascinated by these crimes and, as in the case of the Ripper, we really want to know "who dunit"....... I can't think of anything better than a ghostly confession via an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) and who wouldn't want to be the one who caught it?!
As ghost enthusiasts and ghost hunting professional, we are obligated to find and present paranormal evidence that is respectful not only to the living but to the dead as well. When we offer false hope we turn a worthy profession into nothing more than a flim flam scam and that creates difficulty for those of us who are actually trying to help, to learn and to teach others about the "other side" -- this also applies to psychics. I watch a lot of TV and I've seen some so-called psychics. There ARE real ones but it seems they are lost in the shadows of the "false prophets", the one's who want nothing more than their 15 minutes of fame. How completely irresponsible and totally unfair! In my opinion this story smacks of just that--irresponsible and unfair. Irresponsible on the part of the ghost hunting group to claim they found the "smoking gun" in an old rusty shovel head and unfair to the victims' families who for just a moment could breathe easier thinking that their child's senseless murder could at last be solved.
I leave you with this.....my mother always told me, and I in turn tell my own children, if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. Part of the Hippocratic oath is to do no harm...... I think that should be the golden rule for those would be paranormal teams who only want fortune and fame and seemingly at the expense of others.
