Live people get in the way.

Being a Paranormal Investigator you run into all kinds of people. Everyone wants to tell you about their paranormal experiences. All the stories are great. But when you are on an investigation, it seems they all want to be part of it. This is a difficult situation sometimes. Every now and then you have people that will not let you do what you are there for. As a general rule our group keeps religion, psychics/sensitives and magic of any kind out of our investigations. As usual, after we set up and have the DVR running, the home owners are on every little speck of dust flying through the air. Most of the time you can explain and move on. But when they are not buying your explanation it becomes a problem. So you try and carry on, doing what they have called you in to do. Investigate. Then you start hearing the talk about being able to see everything and feeling everything no one else can. This is when you know it is going to be a problem. We all know the importance of being quiet when the investigation is going on. But in some cases, the home owner does not care. You ask nicely the first three or four times. When we got to this point, we still didn't feel all was lost, yet. It was only a matter of time before we were upstairs doing a little EVP work when the owner came up with a candle and another person and went into another room. So trying to explain, we are there to do more of a scientific approach did no good. She was determined to run the investigation her way. So here it is an hour and a half into an investigation that we drove an hour and a half to get to. What do we do? Let her go. Yep, that's what we did. We actually did have activity in the beginning before she flipped on us. That is where in my opinion, we made a big mistake by staying and trying to still investigate at all. It got late and was time to finish up. We did all that we could do. We tried to thank her for having us out but she was more angry at us for not being on the same page as her. I have tried to call her a few hundred times but no response. Needless to say it was a disappointing yet humorous investigation. Yes we do run into some interesting people. But in a case where they are taking over your investigation, you really need to figure out what to do fast. We will not let this happen again. As paranormal investigators, we are here to do the task we were called in to do. Our way. It's alright to let whoever get involved but you really need to limit their role. If you do not, then you are just there for their amusement. You have no shot at collecting any kind of credible evidence. You have no shot at actually helping them understand what is going on. Unless of course your group consists of candle magic orb chasing dowsing rod using  sage burning sensitive physics, then you should feel right at home with this type of situation.
