I get asked a lot if I’m anti-paranormal television and entertainment. I’m not.

I’ve been in some of these shows and documentaries, and I’ve consulted on others. I understand how they’re made and why they’re made the way they are.

A lot of those shows are what bring people into this world in the first place. They spark curiosity. They get people asking questions. And that matters.

But it’s important to understand what it is.

Television has to move. It has to build moments, hold attention, and give you something to react to. That’s the nature of it. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s entertainment, and it does its job well.

Real experiences don’t work like that.

They’re slower. Sometimes nothing happens at all. Sometimes something does, and you’re left with more questions than answers. It’s not always clear, and it’s not always dramatic.

That’s where I’ve always lived with this.

I’m not here to tell anyone what to believe. I’m more interested in the conversation. What you’ve experienced, what you think it means, and how we all try to make sense of it.

There’s room for both.

Watch the shows. Enjoy them. Let them be what they are.

And if you’ve had an experience of your own, pull up a chair and tell me about it. That’s the part I care about.
