If you're interested in submitting a story about the paranormal, we're looking for submissions on our site. We sent out a broad "call for submissions" about a month ago and it seems like a number of the people who submitted stories have, as you put it, a "desperate need to be haunted."

Rather, recalling the movie "Poltergeist" it is a psychic ordeal faced mostly by a pre-pubescent female, who is unknowingly releasing uncontrolled energy in bursts. In many if not most cases it is connected to a paranormal presence, but it is not a direct result of. It is important to note that poltergeist phenomena is generally not related to ghosts.

It reminds me of an investigation we did, according to Gareth the guy who had psychic ability, there was a spirit there who was playing cards around a poker table. The owner of the location later clarified that yes, the room has been used to poker, dominos, and other gambling games, so I agree when you say that they try to live on their addiction - wether it be through actions now, or replaying actions from way back when.

Most of the internal footage has no motivation to take place ( there is nothing going on to record that accounts for the camera already being in operation)so, for these people to be recording poltergheist activity, they had to be anticipating it. Considering it could happen anywhere at anytime, how did they know when and where? Also, if it is shocking to view, how much more so must it be when you are in the same room with it? Yet, the recording is calm and controlled and the camera moves on queue from one special effect to the next. (And we get a nice mix of those). The shot of the "ghost child" behind the door is like watching a magic act. We open the door, see something, close the door for some unknown reason and look away, then open it again, and "poof!" there's the ghost child. They just used a Ouija board, and they know that there will be phenomena that same night. (Rather prescient of them.) And out of the entire house, they know exactly where in the house to leave the camera to catch a door and table moving, when a spirit could do anything anyplace at anytime. And in all cases, doors, drawers, etc. are never fully in camera, so that moving them off camera can be accomplished easily enough. These are all attempts at producing entertaining and even amazing video effects. Not real evidence. It's out there, just not on this video. Let's keep looking - but not so much on YouTube. That site is for people with other motivations. Hopefully, your readers will forward some stills or footage that is not so dramatic, but entirely credible.

I wonder if these electronic devices will become as mass produced as the boards? I have to agree with dontcrossthebeams about the mindset of the user. If people think that an item is a portal for communications with ghost, I think ghost will use that item.
