For those of us who still occasionally watch TV and can afford cable (enjoying it while I'm still at my parents' house), we have all seen paranormal shows like Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, Dead Files to name a few. I LOVE watching scary TV shows and being scared in that sense. I always did and I'm sure most of us watched Unsolved Mysteries and Sightings back in the 90s. By the way, you can still watch a lot of old Sightings episodes on the ParanormalXFiles channel on YouTube.
Because of these newer shows, there's been a surplus of "ghost hunters". My brother in law happens to be one of them and does EVPs. However, I do think that ghost hunting poses a significant danger.
And this is all IMO, but when you ghost hunt, it's like going to a party that you weren't invited to. The ghost is there for an obvious reason....its OWN reason to be more precise and you're crashing their party. Some ghost hunters may justify their actions by "helping" the ghost, but did the ghost ask for help? Thats infringing. Ghost hunting is more like a sport, trying just to get evidence on tape.
Helping people deal with a haunting is something completely different. Help should be provided when a ghost/demon is harming a family and when the family asks for it. This should be done by a trained professional, like a priest or a very good psychic.
But remember that when you ghost hunt, you're on the ghosts' turf and believe it or not, ghosts and especially demons can mess with you and hurt you if they don't want you there. They can even attach themselves to you via your aura to follow you around, so you'd better be well protected if you do this sort of activity. It's far from being a "harmless hobby".
