As paranormal investigators, we use a wide variety of
equipment. This equipment has been bought and paid for with monies that we have
saved, while working at our everyday jobs. We always find and buy the best
equipment that we can afford. It would be nice to have someone else pick up the
tab for some of this stuff, then maybe we too could have the latest and
greatest stuff. I understand that it does not take high dollar equipment to get
great evidence. I believe you can achieve great results with absolutely no
equipment by your side. You don't have to have all these electronic devices to
speak to those who have passed. All you need is heart, and an open mind to hear
them. These devices come into play when you need to prove your findings with
others. There is a lot more to our equipment and what we use it for and believe
me I know that. The thing that really gets my goat is when other folks from
other teams think that if you don't use the exact equipment they use then your
results are worthless. I was listening to a radio show, and one of the guest
that was on stated basically that he used brand X voice recorder, brand Y video
recorder, and brand Z video camera. He stated on the show that he pretty much
could explain away any evidence that was caught on any voice recorder, DVR, or
video camera unless it was the brand listed above. I thought to myself what
nerve this guy has to say that the evidence that I have collected is no good
because I don't use those brands. I looked up these items and saw 2 things,
number one they were pretty high priced and number two these items looked a lot
like the ones that certain people carry while doing their television shows. I
was going to call into the show so he could explain to me why he thinks what he
thinks, but figured my heart just would not be able to handle the sudden
increase in blood pressure. All I know is this, we at ECPC do not have the most
expensive equipment out there, we have had the same equipment for some time now
and we have been able to collect some of the best indisputable (well
practically undisputable cause we all know there will be one or two who you
will never convince) evidence. I really have a hard time understanding people
such as this. What makes them any better than me and my team or you and your
team for that matter? How can he justify himself as being a paranormal
investigator by making such statements. I just don't get it. Please somebody
help me understand. Please do not ask me who this was or what show it was on. ~
