I have thoroughly read each of your articles and they were very well written and interesting!
I especially enjoyed the Trespassing article. You're thread that you posted on Hounds, really did spark a small fear in me. The last time I went trespassing- I mean- hunting, I really did feel a sort of..guilt. I don't want a fine and I don't want to make other researchers look bad. I am a recovering tresspasser. Maybe I should get a sponsor! LOL
You have a great writing style and you pick fascinating subjects to discuss.
I really enjoyed each article. Keep up you're writing. Its fabulous! _________________ http://www.myspace.com/haunted_hottie http://groups.myspace.com/elliscopp
Overall, I thought you wrote a very good article.
The only thing I might disagree with is the statement about no one being an expert in the paranormal.
I would consider someone an expert who stays current with ideas and theories regarding the paranormal, is a capable investigator, and has at least a little experience with the methods of scientific research.
While it's true that no one is really qualified to tell us what a spirit is or what happens to the soul after death (except for maybe an NDE survivor), there are definitely investigators who posses a high level of competency in researching the paranormal and assiting people who are experiencing its effects.
I do agree that a good investigator should expect to be paid. After all, a good investigator needs to be part scientist, part psychologist, and part counselor.
I don't think that the person paying should expect a report of scientific proof that what they are experiencing is 'real' or that the investigator will 'bust the ghost'. Phenomena happens when it wants to and nobody can guarantee results.
I think the investigator's primary function is data gathering and analysis, but a good one will provide the folks involved with some understanding of what they are experiencing and reassurance that they aren't going crazy. Understanding removes a great deal of fear and stress, which is definitely worth something. _________________ I'm the quiet neighbor with a big freezer

Your articles are very informative. I was on the edge of my seat in the one where your were taking about not getting to investigate that resturant and yall went to the cemetery. I was thinking you may just tresspass even if only with your toe. But it didn't happen! And I'm glad!!
