State of Paranormal

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

A few weeks ago Paranormal State debuted its new season. I hoped PRS would investigate hauntings and they do but . . . the dark rears its ugly shadow. I understand dark and evil beings do haunt people. I realize the bad cannot be ignored.

On the same note, too much emphasis on the darkness and it will find you. the laws of attraction dictate it so.

Instead of playing into the hands of beings who do not need their help, PRS should concentrate on spirits and people who do.

Paranormal State has episodes I refer to as: the Catholic edition. Priests, bibles, and rosaries are often employed to solve problems. Those techniques are viable solutions, but why must I watch them?

I want to go on a ghost hunt. I am aware dark forces dwell but several times a season? Paranormal State tries to differentiate itself from other paranormal shows. I get it. I just wish the darkness had less availability and viability, especially through the television.

It would be different if there was a moral to the story. The wrongfulness of conjuring or worshiping certain things is not brought up. PRS must remain neutral to some point but people should understand what they reap: they sow, so don't.

I hope the rest of the season becomes more positive and not fall into the devil's trap.

Watch it Tuesday nights before Paranormal Cops on A&E.

I actually appreciate the courage it takes their team to address the darker side of hauntings, as I believe evil or cruel spirits are real, and yes it does set them apart from the other paranormal groups. The moral of the story is...people who do bad things in this life are probably still bad people on the other side. They may not always seem as scientific as other shows, but they have captured some interesting data. I like the show and will keep watching.

We really like PS too, but hope the show stays clear of the line. A few times the show has crossed it. We don't want PS giving evil access to the television as well as becoming Catholicism 101. We want a fair balance but also responsible storytelling. Thank you! gd
