I have this year taken a more then usual an active 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 Hoax of 2008, and all in the family of Cryptids 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. Shop For Ghost Hunting Equipment here now! 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.

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 web site 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. J. Michael Franklin's 2009 Paranormal Who and What's in and Who and What's' Out. THIS LIST IS FROM OF COURSE MY OWN OPPIONS FROM SURFING THE MANY HAUNTED WEBSITES AND READING ALL THE BLOGS AND FORUMS I CAN. PLEASE DO NOT CONCIDER THIS A WORST OR BEST LIST IT IS JUST A LIST OF WHAT IS IN POPULAR DEMAND AND WHO OR WHAT IT REPLACED. SOME TERMS MIGHT JUST BE THE HAUNTED OR PARANOMAL COMMUNITY WORD FOR A SUBJECT MATTER THAT A OLDER WORD DOES NOT DESCRIBE AS WELL.
