A basic summery of the paranormal

In the world of real vampires very little outside of what society at large dictates as believable seldom if ever surprises us. This includes things that are considered paranormal or supernatural. Now I know some reading this are saying, but wait, there is no distinction between the two. My reply would be simply of course there is and here is why. The world of paranormal encompasses a variety of professions. There's parapsychologist, cryptozoologist, as well as the new kid on the block those studying UFOs and USOs (unidentified submersible object). Supernatural tends to fall under the category of gods, demons, and angels. Paranormal activity uses scientific theory and equipment in order to capture evidence of the existence of whatever is being investigated or studied. With the supernatural evidence is not so readily available science and those with bigger brains than I have yet to figure out a way to capture anything remotely close to evidence for the existence of demons and angels. Maybe I should clarify that, with the supernatural more so than not the only thing ever really seen or captured on film of any kind is the result of the action and not the action itself, where as with paranormal investigations the act itself is often captured or eye witness accounts of the action itself exist.

           One of the more scoffed at aspects of the field of paranormal research is that of ghost or spirit investigation. This is largely due to various facets of it and the way science perceives the investigation as well as their own ability to open their minds to possibilities outside of a electron microscope. The perception of the actual investigation is one I'm afraid is an up hill battle, as long as television shows such as “Most Haunted” and “Ghost Adventures” are produced. With Most Haunted everything is wrong in their approach, first off an investigator can't investigate when they are cowering in a corner squealing like little kids at the least slightest sound. With Ghost Adventures they at least use stationary cameras, EMF meters, and digital audio recording devices. Their biggest flaw is they treat every sound, every noise, and every bump in the night as if it were ghostly activity. The one show that I would say captures what an investigation is supposed to be like is Ghost Hunters. These guys really try to do it right by that I mean they go in with a semi skeptics mentality between their crew and them they've witnessed and investigated too many haunting to not believe that there is something to it. What sets them apart from everyone else is they also acknowledge that sometimes a bump in the night is just that a bump in the night and are not bashful in telling a client that they have alternative explanations that could or could not explain away said bump.

           Cryptozoology, Is an interesting field that is best known for its investigations into Bigfoot or the reported sightings of lake monsters that come in from around the world most notably, Loch Ness. For these people they approach it from a true scientific standpoint in that they employ sciences from botany to forensics to veterinary medicine. Mainstream science however is split on the validity of the work done. One side says it can't be or we would have come across something by now this maybe true to an extent when dealing with a narrow scope of a single location. But until science starts putting more bodies out in the field searching for the alive or dead subject, then answer to that will remain elusive. For those within the scientific community that are willing to go on record as saying that there is a possibility present a more logical argument and it is one that mainstream science has no readily available answer to. That question being what of the discoveries of recent past of animals that either have been theorized to exist and even the rediscovery of some that were long thought extinct. Something to boost their argument is the very real statistic that man has only been able to explore less than ten percent of the worlds oceans so who truly knows what lies there. So the truth being is we really don't know what inhabits our planet, at least not in the areas that have never seen a human shadow.

           UFOs, the argument involved in this phenomena boils down to those who are arrogant and those who are not. Those who are, seem to want to believe that a god created everything or that man is the only intelligent mammal not only on the planet but within the cosmos as well. Those that are not, point out that man has not investigated a tenth of our own solar system let alone any number of other solar systems or galaxies. That even though we have radio transmitters pointed towards the heavens they except that the mathematical codes being transmitted may not even be understood by an alien life form and if thats the case then the radio receivers are useless as well because we wouldn't know what their form of communication is.

          My personal opinion on the paranormal and the argument that ensue is that it happens anytime man becomes arrogant enough to believe that all lifeforms think as they do. There are any number of people who believe in the paranormal just as there are any number of those who do not. But one thing is clear and that is there will always be a debate and like all good debates one side will eventually lose. Then again who am I to say this I am a real vampire and everyday I fight the very untrue and Hollywood portrayals of what real vampires are and are supposed to be.
