The Most Important Tool in Investigations

Author: Chance Lay

Yes, you, the paranormal investigator is the most important piece of equipment in an investigation. All the technological equipment in the world won’t help a person who is a poor investigator and who doesn’t know how to use the equipment they have or is unable to analyze and interpret the data.

Remember, people have paranormal experiences. Without people, there are no experiences. Equipment can be used to detect, quantify, and qualify environmental anomalies at the time of a subjective paranormal experience, but they can’t tell you what that experience was to the people having it.

So, if you…

• Use your brain. Critical thinking skills are a “must have” in this line of work!

• Use your investigation skills

• Listen to what you are being told, who is telling you and how they are telling you.

• Use deductive reasoning to look for natural explanations for the phenomena experienced

• Analyze and interpret the data you collect properly

• Pay attention to your personal experiences and those around you

You will be the most important piece of equipment on an investigation.
