The real paranormal universe
Let me start this post by saying how much I love my local RWA. Not only do we have some terrific members, we have some awesome programs!
Last weekend I attended our monthly meeting barely able to contain my excitement. You see, we had scheduled a talk from our local paranormal team of investigators!
The group came in dressed in matching black t-shirts and set up their equipment – yes, if you’ve seen the TV show – “The Ghost Hunters” – it was all there. The digital recorders, the FLIR cameras, the K2 meter, all the cool ghost hunting equipment known to man.
As the group went through their presentation, teaching us the difference between apparitions, shadow figures and demons – we learned that the very best ghost hunting equipment is what nature gave each and every one of us. All your senses!
The team ran through many of our local legends and either debunked them, showed some evidence to support some possible oddities, or confirmred they could find no basis in fact. They played EVPs that had me jumping out of my chair and showed images they’ve caught that were truly amazing.
For the believers and the non-believers in the audience, there was something for everyone to either confirm their beliefs or just enough fodder to give their next story some accurate paranormal depictions. If you ever get the chance to talk to a paranormal team from your area, I would definitely recommend it! 
If you don’t have a local group – check out my local groups website and get the lowdown on how they do things. You just might find something interesting along the way!
So, are you a believer or a non-believer in the paranormal?
Wow! You sure are lucky to have such an awesome group of speakers at your local chapter meeting. There must be some dedicated volunteers on your board (snerk!)
Seriously…it was a terrific program and I gained a lot of fodder for the paranormal I’m currently writing. Do I believe? Not in the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, but no one has all the answers. So until someone proves differently, there’s always room for interpretation.

Another option for people interested in joining a group but unable to find one in their area is to join an online chapter of RWA or even–Passionate Critters.
