Listen to a member of NESS (the New England Supernatural Support team, a member of the TAPS family) and others discuss what it’s like to be a ghost hunter in the real world.

Metaphysical vs Scientific in the Paranormal

Is the use of “psychics” and/or any other Metaphysical modalities a good idea or not and why. Does this take away from the validity of the investigation? Or add to it?
