I have this year taken an interest
in finding out, or lets say putting
my finger on the Paranormal Pulse
of America. Mainly because I'm
interested to see where this the
21st centuries Ghost and Paranormal
Craze is going. As we all know
some Supernatural Phenomenal things
do go bump in the night.
From The elusive Chupacabra to
the search for Nessie, Bigfoot,
and all in the family of Crptids
seem to be all the craze now a
days. Old favorites like the proof
of the existence of real UFO's
and the tremendous search on line
for real Ghost Photos and proof
positive of life after death has
never lost it's supernatural luster.
But trends come and go, What and
who was hot in the news today
may be gone tomorrow.
Ghost tours all around the world
is still one of the fastest growing
and lucrative business still associated
with the paranormal field giving
many a tourist the chance to encounter
a real ghost. Paranormal Meet
of groups and Investigative Ghost
research teams is still on a rise
world wide.
Conflicts still rage from, Is
there danger in supposedly harmless
pursuits like using a Ouija board?
To... or Orb's actually ghost
or, are they just dandruff and
dust caught on film? Equipment
that we use today in hunting ghost
or often replaced overnight by
something new tomorrow.
Many believe they are still in
search of the Holy Grail of Hauntings.
While others search and re- research
places like Waverly Sanatorium,
the Myrtles or the Stanley Hotel
for a twist in an old Ghost Story
or a new photo or EVP that they
are certain not only convinces
them but everyone else in the
world. ALSO

Earth AND:

100 Most Haunted Places.
Televised shows with supernatural
themes are still high in the ratings
and many analyst who know such
things predict this Paranormal
craze has at least 30 more years
of life in it's haunted veins
to keep the haunted peek at it's
best.
New Books hit the shelves everyday
describing paranormal encounters
with all that is spooky other
worldly and down right strange.
As does the captivation realism
of all the Scary movies that Hollywood
keeps pumping out.
Is it all fantasy one might ask,
or is it just where the world
is headed today? People reconnecting
with the spiritual and creating
the New Aged religion of Ghost
Hunting as away to giving credence
that their is a real God in Heaven
and the soul lives on. The never
ending search for extraterrestrial
life and solid proof that we certainly
are not alone.
Many people have written to
this and many other website
as well as on their own myspace.com
pages, journals, blogs and forums
to what they like and dislike
in Paranormal investigation
and the field in general.
From observing this and scouring
the web I have compiled the
lists of what I feel are the
hot picks for 2008 to keep a
watchful eye on. Considered
here are just the ebbs and tidal
flows of current Paranormal
interest trends.
