It's all bullshit and all but for entertainment it depends. If it's that Edwards guy, or if they're asking for money (especially to get in or for reading, especially since while it's still bullshit and all but the ethics in the real occult community, ie, psychics/tarot readers/whatever that are not just grifters but that actually truly believe in it than ethically your not supposed to charge or benefit from it.) exploiting people yeah, grifting bullshitters that need to go, the Warrens will not be missed.
But if your talking like a morning/midday/afternoon drive type radio with 2-3 hosts that think they are Gods of comedy but are really only listened to because they are the only station in the area that plays decent music, that brought in a psychic to have fun on a Friday the 13th and are just taking calls from the same crowd who calls anytime they have a guest and open phone lines (which should include screeners checking to make sure that over exploitable/imbalanced people are not getting through to avoid liability issues) than that's just entertainment for people on their way to/from work for a lark and I seriously just suggest turning the dial or not listening if that's the caliber of hosts and save your emotional response for something that's worthy of it, you can lighten up sometimes and realize entertainment is just a cigar sometimes.
But yeah if their charging money or messing with obviously messed up people, sure get angry and feel some justifiable anger or derision, but again if it's just drive hour entertainment your just letting drive hour radio losers take up space in your head for nothing.

I enjoy the paranormal as a topic and a field of study. "Psychics" charging people for their BS is abusive and I very much dislike that.
Eh, its fun.
Once I grew up and was no longer scared of the stuff I found myself actually wanting it to be real.

If my wife and I ever get divorced, I think her love of Ghost Adventures is probably going to be at the very top of my list of "red flags I should have noticed before we got married." That show is infuriatingly terrible and I don't understand how she has watched seemingly every episode of it. She also loves that show where the psychic and the former police detective perform parallel independent investigations and then meet up to present their findings.
Something about this image is actually offputting to my brain but I can't tell why. Maybe it looking like she straight up sinks in to the water and not being visible?
That's me. I got busy and tired of buttholes shitposting the thread. I do have new stories and good updates but nothing on camera. I'll update it one day though. It's on my list
those were the days, i was actually going to link the thread in here but its way to many pages for ppl to go through
I imagine it's because pretty much every ethnic group that makes up Latin America already had a strong foundation of supernatural beliefs, so a European custom of divining the future caught on pretty well while staying strong with those of European ancestry.
Its pretty crazy. My friends and I used to enjoy doing urban exploration. Once in a while my friends girlfriend would come and every time without fail, she'd swear she had seen a ghost while we were there.
I will say this though. When I was in my early teens I used to get sleep paralysis and hallucinate. When that first started happening and I wasn't aware of what that all was, I was pretty sure I was being haunted. Once I realized what lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis was, it made so much more sense to me why people can believe they have seen ghosts or have been abducted by aliens. For a lot of people I'm sure it's their imagination or just bullshit, but for some out there I can absolutely see why they would think something happened if they had experienced sleep paralysis.
well then fuck it, here it is if anyone is interested

Ghost stuff is fun to imagine being real, makes for some cool fiction. People being interested in paranormal stuff, thinking it might be real while maintaining a healthy scepticism and not just seeing a slightly weird thing and screaming "GHOSTS!!!", it's interesting. A lot of it delves into the history of buildings and towns, there's some neat fun to be had there. It can be a great hobby and get people out of the house and meeting people.
Then you get the fuckheads that ruin it by exploiting people's grief with their cold reading sideshow, claiming to be psychics that can talk to your relatives for you, that shit infuriates me, and those people can straight-up go fuck themselves.

The ones who exploit dumb/ignorant people and profit are completely vile. The ghost hunters type shit is good entertainment though imo as long as you understand that's what it is. If you actually believe in that shit though...it isn't healthy. It's like watching Fox News as a source of news. Watching to roll your eyes or be entertained is one thing, watching it and believing it is an issue.
Houdini did that kind of thing all the time. He hated psychics and used his knowledge of theatrics and illusions to debunk them.
I just like apes and monkeys more than boring old dead people I guess.
Thanks! I just noticed the thread was brought back to life over the years but I was either serving a ban or didn't notice and now it's locked. I emailed the mods (through the 'contact us' option at the bottom of the page...not sure if that's the right way of doing it) to see if they would be willing to unlock it for an update.
Fear of the unknown actually brings the unknown to you. It seeks you out because it smells your fear, like a dog.
So if they're mentally challenged it's cool to exploit people. Got it
I love paranormal stuff and aliens, it's like a piece of fiction set in our world. (Because it is)
But yes those crappy psychics are just horrible and exploitative and shouldn't be getting any attention.

Yeah I don't believe at all but that one is good entertainment. The non paranormal ones are pretty interesting.
Maybe don't watch, or listen to shows about paranormal stuff? Seems like a very simple thing to avoid.
Too spooky. :0You can't deny the proof.
If they're too stupid to know better then it's on them. That's what you said.
I lived in a haunted house, It was a bit odd. I even straight up saw it once. Scared the begeebees out of me. That being said, BS psychics are not cool.
I agree with you on psychic stuff and contacting the dead but I love and have a big fascination with other paranormal things like ghosts. Unfortunately a lot of era tends to disagree with me which kills the fun of most paranormal threads but I'll always be open to the idea of ghosts being real even if I don't necessarily believe in them at the moment.
