I mostly agree with you. Ghost Adventures drives me crazy! Over acting when they hear something, (if they get so afraid, why do they do it?) Everything to them is evil, satanic! Most of the time someone gets possessed (I know it can happen, but with them it’s almost every show!)
With ghost hunters, I find them more credible. If there’s no back up, they toss it out. They go in trying to debunk claims.
I disagree about training the dog! You don’t have to train them because it comes naturally to animals! Their senses are far more heightened! My dogs knew and now I know my cat does when we pass by some houses, he won’t even walk on the lawn! I grew up on a farm and those animals could tell as well!
Yes there are some especially the ones that call them in with “spirit boards”etc.
Respect is first and foremost!

Definitely agree with the last sentence. I’ve discovered some great ideas in the past decade, but haven’t come across anything “new” per se for a few years now.

Glad you made the difference between “Ghost Hunting” and Paranormal Research. I hope the trend continues and ghost hunting dies completely. I am a paranormal researcher, working in the field for over 30 years now. Ghost hunting is one of the worst things to happen in the field in long time. It’s due to “Ghost Hunters” that we researchers can no longer go to some places to gather evidence for study and it is due to “Ghost Hunters” that we all get lumped into a category that is looked down upon because of, some who look for a good time and call themselves ghost hunters and do bad things, hurting the field for all. Not to be snarky but there are new and original ideas out there for the field. Just because you haven’t heard of or read about them doesn’t me they are not there.

May you be met with enthusiasm from the spirits/energies on your visit to Gettysburg. If I may be bold to suggest, There should be a parking lot on S Confederate Ave at co-ordinates 39°47’19.7″N 77°14’25.2″W (apx). I have not been graced with confirmation through technology (yet), however if you follow the path ahead of the parking area, you will find a clearing of large rock formation. The intense feeling there is beyond description. This area is more a “hike trail” than a popular tourist spot such as Devils Den or the Wheat Field. Also, another area that may be of interest 39°47’26.8″N 77°14’35.9″W. This is another area of rock formation just beyond Devils Den. There is a small “cave” in this area that has a tremendous electrical feeling for my body. May you be rewarded worthy of an energy wanting to communicate. ~Chris P.I.R.A.T.E Paranormal

I completely agree! If we can get some creditable proof we are happy. We like to go back to locations over and over again and see if we can get the spirits to tell us stories, tell us what it was like when they were alive. We like to hear stories of how their life’s were. Sometimes we try to get them to tell us what exactly happened to them so we can get in touch with a family member in this time or get in touch with someone who will listen to them and can have their story heard. It saddens me though that some had to die so tragic.

I also love investigating, the history and I also the meeting of the minds trying to figure out how to communicate with people on the other side.

I am looking forward to my joinery to a place I have heard so much about. It’s hard not to feel the emotions when you read about such a historical/tragic place. It’s easy to understand why so many venture back. I look forward to my first with open heart and mind.
