UNLIKE ANY OTHER TIME IN TELEVISION HISTORY, WE ARE PRIVY TO COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF TELEVISION SHOWS LET US VICARIOUSLY EXPERIENCE THE THRILLS AND CHILLS OF GHOST HUNTING EXPEDITIONS. WE SIT HUDDLED IN THE CORNER OF OUR COUCHES WITH BLANKET IN HAND, READY TO SHIELD OURSELVES FROM THE THINGS THAT MAKE OUR HEARTS POUND A LITTLE FASTER, MAKE US CATCH OUR BREATHES IN DISBELIEF AND MAKE US WONDER, "WAS THAT REALLY A GHOST WE JUST SAW/HEARD".
THOUGH MORE THAN PONDERING IF THE EVIDENCE THEY CAUGHT WAS A GHOST OR NOT, I OFTEN THINK ABOUT A FEW OTHER THINGS. THE SUBJECT THAT CROSSES MY MIND THE MOST IS THAT OF THE EQUIPMENT THEY USE, AND I FIND MYSELF ASKING THE QUESTIONS OF:
1. WHY DO GHOST HUNTERS USE THE EQUIPMENT THEY DO? WHAT IS THEIR REASONING FOR USING EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT?
2. DO THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR EQUIPMENT PROPERLY AND WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO DO?
EQUIPMENT DOES MAKE IT SEEM AS IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF SCIENCE BEHIND THE INVESTIGATIONS, HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS PEOPLE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS BEHIND THE EQUIPMENT THEY ARE USING, MORESO HOW IT WORKS, AND WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR. BECAUSE OF THIS, READINGS/RESULTS/EVIDENCE CAN BE SKEWED AND CAN BE VERY MISLEADING.
SO IN THIS SECTION I, I HAVE MADE SUBFORUMS FOR THE MOST WIDELY USED PIECES OF EQUIPMENT. IF YOU POST, AMONG OTHER THINGS OF YOUR CHOICE, I WOULD ASK YOU TO ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS, AND EXPECT TO HAVE QUESTIONS ASKED.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT EVERYONE HAS THEIR DIFFERING OPINONS. THIS TOPIC CAN BECOME HEATED SO I ASK THAT EVERYONE RESPECT THE RULES OF THE FORUMS OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
