Ghostbusters have a real passion for what they do. They travel to haunted locations, in grueling weather conditions, to try to capture evidence of the paranormal. Most of the time nothing is found. If ghost investigators work for hours, why haven't spirits been conclusively proven yet? Since paranormal investigations are a controversial topic, many people have their own views on the matter and refuse to believe any evidence that may be in front of them. The equipment used, the history of the location, the viewpoints of the investigators, and even the effects of reality ghost shows all play a key role in how an investigator accomplishes their job. One might think that paranormal research has seen many advances, however, ghost hunting today has not improved since its beginnings. The development of new equipment has not changed the results of investigations because, ultimately, ghost hunting is not about evidence (Radford). Today, ghost hunting is more about being able to go to an old demolished kryptic building rather than capturing things like electromagnetic field fluctuations or EMFs. Common claims state that ghosts are the spirits of those who have been wronged or whose lives have tragically ended in murder. If that were the case, why not expect to encounter ghosts everywhere? (Radford). Why didn't the ghosts try to help bring their killers to justice with so many unsolved crimes? Why should ghosts be tied to where they died rather than being able to move freely? (Radford). These are two issues that contribute to the skeptical side of paranormal investigations. Another problem with surveys is technology. “The equipment is as scientific as the person using it; you may... middle of paper ... have the chance to go to a mysterious location rather than gather real evidence.
