Well I’ve been sifting through data and statistics, monitoring trends and generally passing my eye over the world of the paranormal, cryptozoological and UFOlogical. My findings…. It seems there is a lull in the world. Less credible reports, a downturn in paranormal barmpot’s peddling their claptrap, less pies in the skies, hoax pussy cat cases where entire county police are mustered. The world didn’t end, the paranormal genre isn’t being thrust in our faces by the media, all in all, it’s all gone quiet. Too quiet.
The only constant is the money making scam merchants, yes the truther’s, end of world mob and the pariahs that are the paranormal tourist companies. Pay £50 to scare the crap out of yourself, all in the aid of lining our own pockets.
Time these halfwits were regulated. Do they pay VAT, Tax, and Insurance etc? And are they being honest to their clients? Here’s where I ask one to prove the facts to me? Any takers?
Yes I’m a social networking saddo, I live my life via facebook, well not all of it, you can’t get jiggy virtually, well I can’t… And lo, I switch on my account, and half a dozen scam merchants are peddling their wears
Let’s have a look at the genre.
First came paranormal investigation, next – Most farted, the training guide for all modern wank biscuits – Yes all the halfwits who still think a pink orb is a girl, and a blue one is a boy, and they have faces, some animal ones.. (Shut up you twats) learnt their trade on Britain’s most deplorable program. And yes I still stand by my mantra, if you’ve been on it, you’re a cock, a liar, and a money making turnip.
So the halfwit brigade, weighed down with instant experts and the delusional – I am a psychic, battled to the forefront of a now media driven industry. Mini cult leaders and bored housewives were in their element. Scaring themselves shitless with tales of stupidity. Here we find the deranged introducing a new phenomena – The creation of the ‘that building’s old and looks haunted, so it is.’ Here the gullibulls and gullicows and other coat tail riders jumped onto whatever the group ‘ cult ‘ leader or pisstake, sorry, psychic said, or in most instances, created. And legendary locations of significant paranormal importance were born.
They then added ‘professional’ and ‘scientific’ to their credentials. I still scratch my head at what they mean by professional, and scientific, cos they use an EMF meter with ‘ACME scientific’ stamped on the back.
But it seems boredom has prevailed. That’s for most; probably due most to the barmpot rag, the Sun, not having the drivel included has meant they aren’t getting their two seconds of fame too.
What’s it left us with? Another industry, the cult leaders, psychic dogshit pedlars and numerous other favourites of the sycophants have found they can continue their money scamming. Yes, they guest at the paranormal tourism and events big nights at none haunted locations.
Fact. Myself and the UPIA took part in a Canadian TV series called Ghost Cases, One of the locations used was the Lion and Swan in Congleton, Cheshire. Both useful as a base for the crew the stay, but also as I live in Congleton. I have had access to the Lion and Swan since 2004, that’s now, seven years of discussing the case with owners, staff and alleged witnesses. Having conducted numerous hours on site investigation, including a full week with a TV crew, I can honestly say the location has a colander full of holes in any story relating to alleged paranormal events. Basically it’s full of shit. But Multi million pound make over’s and failing pub businesses mean the Lion and Swan, like so many other event location are in dire need of additional funds. And who ya gonna call? Ghosttourists! Funny, I wrote a book, not a brilliant book, but one I wrote in memory of my Dad, ( Paranormal Reality: Ghosts, UFO’s and Pussycats). In it appeared a chapter regarding the Lion and Swan. Odd how the entire article now appears on several websites, introducing the venue. Added of course the obligatory Bullshit about haunting activity. Yes you too can spend anything up to £75 for a night at the hotel hunting none existent ghosts. And a local historian issues you with an imprecise account of the pubs history. Again, odd, I know most of the local historians and they have no idea who it is, and a totally different reality version of history.
That last paragraph basically sums it up, Event Company, fills you with shit, takes your money and leaves you enjoying mass hallucination or scaring each other witless. Yet so many folk still play out with these jerks. The whole industry is inept. Ok so some folk may want to scare themselves with fiction, but surely they are not that stupid to believe.
I also co edit a free online magazine – Phenomena Magazine. We offer free inclusion and promotion to many things; we receive no monies, but exchange promotion, links, or receive books and access to events free of charge to off coverage and review. Guess how many events companies have enquired about inclusion. But when we have suggested places on an event free of charge, as to review their practises etc, they have run a mile. The UPIA/Phenomena magazine are impartial and realistic. We will offer an in depth analysis of anything reviewed. If taking part in an event, we will not tread on any toes or give feedback on the night. Usually we will also confer with the individuals who write books, film DVD’s, organise conferences or run events before inclusion on any of our sites or in the mag. 5 event companies have enquired, 1 offered free tickets as a reader prize. But not one will utilise our offer to oversee and give honest, in depth opinion on their event.
So do they pay VAT, Tax, and Insurance etc, I know they claim to have some insurance, but how legal is it? Does the location put monies earned through the books, and for that matter, does psychic Sam, the onsite expert. Earning from the company to get his facebook sycophant followers to spend time in their immortal presence? I can see why they use these idiots.
No you are not Real ghosthunters, in a world where some folk ARE attempting to forward a knowledge and find answers to questions, all you are doing is getting in the way spouting shit.
Many folk who wish to report alleged paranormal phenomena now decide not to, many of them come across these experts, they don’t help, and they usually make things worse.
Paranormal Event companies. I challenge you. Utilise the UPIA and Phenomena Magazine, I know some of you will read this, if not, some who do read and know people involved, share the link. Invite us to attend, if you’re worth a shit, I’ll blog it, and report it in the magazine. Or are you too scared at being proven a pariah and a charlatan? Bring it on.
It’s the fooled paying consumer I feel sorry for.
