Tiktok and Youtube have grown into a disastrous mess of paranormal nonsense. Through these mediums, we have witnessed “investigators” run away from sounds that are made by everything from mundane wildlife to man-made machinery all the while making the average viewer believe it was a ghost, demon, skinwalker, etc. Because we believe in using our platform for education, we are bringing you these short segments called Investigation Techniques. These segments allow us to discuss all sorts of problematic issues Paranormal Investigators may face. The first series of IT segments will focus on the creepier-sounding side of the natural world with audio clips for clear examples.
