Many people dismiss social media as fertile ground for those who create factoids: unreliable information being repeated so often that it sometimes becomes accepted as fact. Our guest, the young YouTube videographer known as SCAREME, usually goes off this premise but goes one step further and explains the psychology behind this phenomenon.
How does this bode for viral paranormal videos and stories? On his YouTube channel, “SCAREME”, he weighs in on poltergeists, alien creatues, the YouTube Illuminati sensation POPPY and others
Are viral paranormal videos “click bait”, human perceptions of a shadowy dimension? What if some are real? In such cases, skepticism cannot reverse authenticity!
The Unnormal Paranormal Podcast reviews and comments on popular viral paranormal videos that are being discussed all around the world, compliments of social media.
This episode was made for paranormal enthusiasts who are wondering: “How do I become a paranormal investigator myself? What are the dangers and rewards? What will I learn about life after death?” Robin Strom-Mackey of Delaware Paranormal Research Group speaks to us about ghost hunting equipment and results you can expect to see in the field versus what you see on television!
Robin also also talks to The Unnormal Paranormal Podcast about:
* Paranormal Investigation Safety — how to protect yourself from spirit attachment
* Differences between paranormal reality television series investigations and real life field experience
* How the paranormal community needs to “evolve” and be taken more seriously
* Her own scientific approach to investigations — not everything is paranormal!
Note: Robin’s blog, “The Shore”, is a great site for learning more about EVPs, how human personality traits can attract the paranormal and interesting investigative case studies.
