Talking to the Window Blinds?



You want to know the difference in the ghost hunting world between the investigators and the woo-woo's?

A friend and I were sitting in my apartment talking about communicating with the dead, when the blinds on my window began to jump up and down, dancing wildly, making loads of noise. We both stopped, turned and studied it in surprise. I hadn't heard the blinds do this before.

Being investigators, we looked at the blinds, realized they were on the window, opened the back door and looked outside to find a wind storm hitting.

Had we been woo woo's, we would have
gasped, pivoted in our seats, and proceeded to talk to the blinds, hoping to get answers from the dead.

It's easy to think of these folks as being lazy for not getting up and investigating, but that is not why they would stop at that point and accept it. It's belief. Belief is a hard thing to shed logic upon. Belief is based on desires, wishes, hopes, and needs.

I have had the hardest time hunting with the people who, because they are believers, believe in everything being haunted, everything being evil, everything being "bad."

Here's how it goes in the paranormal world. Once you have a truly unexplainable event that you have to accept is paranormal, you are never the same. It takes only one event to make a believer, but no matter how many times you explain phenomena, it does not stop believers from believing. So, it is a very compelling event.

Yes, I absolutely believe in phenomena. It's why I do what I do in spite of it not being popular amongst some people I know and making me seem like a "quack."

Enough things have occurred over a lifetime, that I have no doubt about phenomena, but what I'm willing to call phenomena is very limited because I may believe, but it is not blind faith (or in this case, mini-blind faith-har har).
