Pinellas Pasco Paranormal/ Hostile Haunts Specialists

  First off let it be known that PPP does not condone, encourage or support kids ghosthunting. We will not accept link exchanges from paranormal teams whose members are minors, and we consider young teens to be minors as well. There are many dangers in the paranormal field, that TV shows do not show you. As a hostile haunts specialist of more than three decades, I can tell you that malevolent entities often target children on a regular basis. They are the most vulnerable targets for bad spirits. So why would we want to encourage kids to go out seeking spirits at random?

  Most kids go to abandoned houses and cemetaries to ghost hunt. There is danger from the living at these places as that is even more deadly than danger from the dead. A teen girl was shot about a year ago, while ghosthunting at what she and her friends thought was an abandoned haunted home. The home was occupied and had been burglarized before, so the man shot the intruder, and asked questions later. The girl was in critical condition last I heard. Another young girl was raped at a cemeary when she got separated from her firends ghosthunting. Kids can fall thourhg the floors of unsound structures that they seek to investigate as far as abandoned buildings, is this safe?

  I think we need to step back from the circus that has become the paranormal field, and take a look at what we are promoting to the public. TV shows that encourage kids to ghost hunt are money driven entertainment. Parents need to police what their kids do and talk to them about this topic and stress that it may not be a safe hobby to take up for fun and games.

  I have an eleven year old son who is very interested in the paranormal. He does some research on the Pc for us, he is learning quite a bit about it, but he does not go on case investigations and he does not ghost hunt with his friends. He is informed and aware of the dangers of such. When he is old enough, he will probably join this team, but until then, I keep him safe, as he is a child. I closely watch and supervise his activities, as I know kids can talk other kids into things. He has been approached many times by friends who want to ghost hunt as they know he comes from a paranormal family in the field. He tells them all the reasons why he will not join them.

  We can not stop kids from doing what they are determined to do, but we can try and advise them of the dangers and discourage them, from that which is not in their best interest. We also might want to teach our kids respect and reverence for the departed and instill the idea that searching into the other side should be a spiritual as well as a scientific endeavor, and that we all should have respect for spirit. We are not being spiritual when we are harassing those on the other side and tempting fate to prove to us that there is a God, that is a shallow and at times a dangerous hobby to take up.
