Why do those people who have investigating groups get mad?

Question

Ok so your out there calling yourself an investigative group for paranormal, yet your not investigating paranormal, your investigating ghosts and hauntings, anyways, I digress, you put this info out there for all to see. you come on answers and proclaim everything is proof. Then you get mad when somebody demands proof. I personally do not push my info or evidence, in fact, it is kept very private. I am a believer, and yet, I have caught some so called investigators in complete and open lies as to evidence they said they had. So if your going to put the info out there for all to see or read, why would you get mad when someone wants proof or someone calls you on it? I personally do not want to become famous at this, I dont do it for my own excitement, I do it to help and keep peoples lives private, not post it to some site. Why does that make you mad?

Answer 1

There is a "fantasy" so to speak about this "field of study".

There is a wide spread of television shows about this subject that adds a glamor to it.  

Some believe that every bit of it is true.  Just because you caught a rambled & garbled voice or sound on a recorder, or you caught a speck of dust on a photo, it must be paranormal.

I feel the ones that yell the loudest to be noticed are not in this for the right reasons.  Perhaps it is for attention, perhaps it is for money, perhaps it is for the need to feel they have found the anwers that some of us are searching for.

I have recently learned that most that claim to be "PIG's", or(Paranormal Investigating Groups) are actually getting their so-called info from web searches.  If you notice on some of their sights, they promote orb activities as being paranormal events.

I, like you, preferr to keep to myself about most of what I do.

Can we all agree that each of us will have our own oppions & experiences & that we each take them in our own ways.  No one will ever agree that what one felt, seen or heard is of a paranormal action.  What ones feels maybe a spirit aka "ghost", another will write off as an open window or dust flying around or a house settling.

Answer 2

I don't need a reason to be mad, I'm mad all the time. What makes me really mad is people who ask me why I'm mad.

Answer 3

Because, I think, that most folks who have had these encounters get huffy about how easy it is to have possibly been fooled. (?)

Frustration, exasperation.

Seldom does one have the kind of evidence that can be "proven" to be what they claim it is.

It's a lot like the religious experience that many of the religious folks get when they've joined a religion.  It makes them feel better.

They just "KNOW" they're right.  And if the rest of us would just give up that silly skepticism....

But it's near on impossible to be able to quantify an experience.  Particularly when one's experiences can be shown to be tainted with an observer's bias.  Which is why skeptics demand a double blind experiment.
