Paranormal Annoyance
So, I just got off the phone from talking to Loyd Auerbach about a mentoring program he's going to offer. The purpose of the program is to encourage more critical thinking and scientific measure within the research of ghosts and hauntings.......to try to get away from the pop culture, non-critical aspect that we see in the field so much these days.
The idea very much appeals to me but while talking to him I brought up my growing interest in UFO's and the idea that UFO's and haunting phenomena have common threads, hinting at a GUT, or Grand Unified Theory of the paranormal. Loyd was all for that and started relating a few discussions he'd had with his old college professor of astronomy. Later he mentioned something about a skeptic entering the field of ghost hunting to disprove the entire thing only to become a believer in such phenomenon later on. I said that there are a lot of people in the field of UFO's that are like that, too!....once-skeptics who start to realize that there may, actually, be something to this stuff. Again Loyd brought up his astronomy professor and said, "He was a guy by the name of J. Allan Hynek...." I just about shit my pants! LOL. I would have LOVED to be a fly on the way during a discussion between Loyd Auerbach and J. Allan Hynek, to proverbial giants in their respective fields talking about paranormal phenomena. The idea blows my mind, and in the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper, "Once a mind is blown it cannot be unblown."
Just thought I'd share.
