I want to turn you on to an article on Ghost Village by Deonna Kelli-Sayed. Her book,
Paranormal Obsession: America’s Fascination with Ghosts & Hauntings, Spooks & Spirits, will be released this coming month and is well worth the read. This month on Jeff Belanger’s Ghost Village she writes, In Defense of Paranormal Reality Shows. Kelli-Sayed, addresses the rift between the paranormal community and the TV genre. She also suggest the importance of the emergence of these shows. I highly recommend the read.

The advent of Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State, Ghost Adventures, GHI, etc., has lead to an awakening of the idea we are more than just these bodies on this earth. There is a spirit world. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to deny this. Whether you approve of the methods of the paranormal stars, or you think there is little reality going on here, you cannot deny the positive impact these programs have had in bringing to light the idea of paranormal experience. It is no longer taboo to talk about “weird things” going on in one’s home. Suddenly, there is support for those who feel threatened.
Paranormal teams are forming all over the globe. With all these researchers on the hunt, we are likely to establish a greater understanding of what we cannot see or touch. We are progressing as spiritual beings by looking toward what we really are, spirit… or energy for you science-based sorts. Whatever your perspective, you are moving toward something greater than your physical self.
Food for thought!
