Halloween

So I have spoken about this before and my view has not changed. We started doing events for a few reasons. One was to make a little cash so we could buy new equipment. We lose the stuff, we break the stuff and people steal the stuff. And in this industry, technology in equipment has taken leaps and bounds. So the upgrade is necessary. Another is to let those see that what what we do is real. It doesn't take very long to get the dog and pony TV shows out of your head when something real is actually happening to you. The locations we do our events at are active. We also educate people on how this activity can have a lasting affect on their lives. It changes peoples views on what is going on. We also do it as a bit of help for the locations that we hold these events at. They gain a little cash as well as publicity for whatever they are trying to do. I use to love doing the events. But now it seems everyone who has ever gone on an investigation is trying to make money at it. It is no longer novel. What was once a really cool thing to do is now tainted by a flood of over charging, under charging to cut the competition and advertisements for greed. We are right in there with everyone else at the moment. But when our events are over for this season, I highly doubt that we will do this again. Seems some have lost the meaning of what a Paranormal Investigation is. T-Shirts, coffee mugs and DVDs seem to be the meaning anymore. Careful marketing and cool flyers have always been keys in sales for every product. I don't want to be one of the groups that concentrates most of our efforts on sales. This is not why we do this.
