First Post!

So, this is the first post at the Shadow Chasers blog. Ideally, this will be a place where we will post interesting news stories, information on the latest ghost hunting technologies and theories, as well as keeping people up to date on what we're doing.

Today we're at the Utica Psychic Fair, where we gave a talk on who we are and what we do, which went well. What I love most about being at Psychic Fairs, and being around people who are interested in the paranormal is all the different opinions that people have.

The Shadow Chasers have theories about the paranormal, and about how we interact with spirits and the metaphysical world, but it seems that everyone else has their own theories as well. We are approached by so many people who have different ideas from ours, it's hard to not evolve our theories afterwards.

The big differences are definitely between religions. It seems like there are common understandings with the paranormal, such as surrounding yourself with a white light, or how to communicate with spirits, but they are definitely put through the filter of religion. Some people attribute the white light to our spirit guides, and others attribute it to god. Some talk of the afterlife, while other talk of heaven. It's the same thing with different terms. I feel like the Shadow Chasers are the same way. We can talk of energy readings, and attribute values to it, but it still boils down to the same thing, no matter what terms you give to it. There are intelligent beings that surround us, that we can't see, and there is some place that we go after it is no longer our time on earth. What we decide to call it is just a matter of semantics.
