We all have our own reasons for getting into the paranormal field. For some people it is due to what they perceive to be paranormal experiences in their childhood or as an adult. For others it is due to the television and movie craze that focused on paranormal investigations, ghost hunting, or paranormal stories. Perhaps a friend or family member was involved with the field empirically or as a hobby interest and you got interested in it through them. Regardless of how you became interested in the field you have surely seen those who don't worry about science, that focus on some science, and you may or may not have seen those who focus heavily on science. This blog entry discusses why it is important to prioritize science before the paranormal.

As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He focuses on the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. In this podcast, he discusses the methods and tools used in investigations, exploring how factors like cognitive biases, environmental conditions, and technological anomalies can influence perceptions of the paranormal. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations.

With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."
