Mitsh 4shi I've been vicariously dragged into them as well as almost clean up after people who had no clue as to what they were doing. My parents' home is apparently a hot spot for weird activity, so we've seen a few paranormal investigators. Sadly, they were the kind who thought the way it's done on TV was real. Out of idle curiousity, how do you get vicariously dragged into something? o_O
It's best to tell the story.
I didn't really want part in (what I've dubbed) The Order of the Mooncalf's business. Since I had no desire to partake in such idiocy I only have secondhand information about the events.
TOotM was so inept at paranormal investigation that I had to step in and clean up a big mess they made of things. They tried to convince my family there were demons "on a scale of 1 to 10 on a 9" (seriously, they said that), ran around screaming like morons from this "demon" (I later confirmed it was a servitor my bf sent), and even wore black for the occasion.
After calming down my family, sorting out the "demon" issue, and having a laugh at their expense I had no choice but to try to talk with them. This was especially true with a couple of them since I knew them at some point and knew how inept they were. It never happened because they basically ran away from the whole family (which I don't know why. I'm not a particularly threatening person. I'd go as far to say harmless).
The only good thing that came from that incident was TOotM disbanded because they realized they were in over their heads.
So that's how I was vicariously dragged in to that situation. I wasn't actually there for the incident, didn't really want anything to do with it, but had to deal with it anyway.

Arcane_Ninja24 paranormal investigating is fun... unfortunately any investigation i have gone on, was with people who didn't have a clue what they where doing, and didn't have the proper gear to do s**t.
Was it, by any chance, the Order of the Mooncalf? wink
Cade The Imperfect Proper gear? You believe modified human tech would be suitable for a whole new purpose of tracking creatures that are believed to be a spiritual being? Screw gear. I am still iffy on the whole "paranormal" thing due to the fact a persona can easily through their mind into believing something and most certainly while in fear.
These two statements seem contradictory. While I do believe skepticism is healthy with investigating, it seems odd you would want to use methods that could easily be "misinterpreted". Would you care to explain so that I may better understand you?

My only story of looking for something like ghosts comes from my old entheogenic days.
In that city I lived in at the time, there's a huge river through the state that has a port in the city. That's how the city grew. There's also an island in the middle of the river that was turned into a state park - closed after dark, but that didn't stop us.
The place had a lot of history - a civil war prison camp, a runaway slave prison camp, a later-murdered hobo's camp,... and that all was centered where they later built (and then dismantled) a hydroelectric power plant which was the goal.
Well, this was a few days after halloween, so the veil was thin, and the trees had no leaves. The branches outlined all sorts of gore and horrifying sights, but I found it beautiful at the time.
I just wanted to meditate there, but my buddies wanted to split. They said something on the isle felt malevolent. On returning to my apartment, I had my date with Crowley's Qabballistic Chronzon anyway... and so did each of us who went out that night.
The response? I eventually gave up the entheogens (as the voices prescribed - a 12 Step call from a voice in my head??!!!) One guy who was already a little off went completely, literally schizophrenic; and the oldest found that missing gumption to finally graduate both from college and his own lifestyle issues.
