CHASING MIDNIGHT
I'm Tony Hart-Wilden ("Midnightman"), from Winchester, England, I have been investigating the paranormal for many years in the U.K, the United States and throughout Europe. I currently reside in Los Angeles. I work alone.
Introduction
My goal is to attempt to capture a full apparition on digital film, it is a destination that I may never reach; the real adventure is the journey there. "A good paranormal investigator is judged by the evidence they don't present". Not being able to explain something because of lack of knowledge and an event actually being unexplainable are two entirely different scenarios. I apply critical thinking to paranormal investigation. I don’t believe Orbs are paranormal; that mist is ectoplasm, streaks of light are spirits of the dead, or ghosts appear as faces halfway up walls or hidden in trees.
It may be true that when it comes to paranormal investigation "there are no experts", but is also equally true that there are many people involved in the field that simply don't know what they are doing. There is no evidence that apparitions only come out at night or require darkness to manifest, this is just misinformation based on horror movies and scare stories told around camp fires not on legitimate scientific research. There is also no credible evidence that ghosts use electricity to appear, even if they interfer with a electrical current or drain a battery, this does not mean that they require it for manifestation. You should investigate at anytime day or night, and alone if you choose, photographic evidence is the best collaborative witness.
Being able to reproduce an event photographic or otherwise doesn’t automatically invalidate its legitimacy. Reproduction is just the start of photo analysis not where it ends.
Question everything
The majority of psychics and mediums are either frauds or delusional, it's their responsibility to prove they are not. Most are are just cold readers that prey on the desperate and gullible. Using a psychic on an investigation to provide proof of the paranormal while they haven’t provided proof of their own abilities is neither scientific nor logical."It's like using unicorns to prove the existence of flying pigs".
Eliminate the improbable
E.M.F meters, and digital thermometers are not ghost detectors.The amount of equipment you have is irrelevant if you don’t know how to use it or interpret the results. Ouija boards are not “portals to hell” they are inanimate objects. Retro fitting E.V.P.S by directing people to listen for what you believe they should hear would invalidate them in any other field of research. Clutching at “paranormal straws” simply provides ammunition for an already skeptical public.
An object moving by itself, an unexplained voice caught on tape or even a photograph of a ghost, all have other possible origins aside from being a manifestation of a dead person. They could originate from the living including those that witnessed or recorded them, and these events could also just be an as yet unexplained aspect of science. If you don’t consider equal or more likely possibilities in regard to their origin and attempt to find a definitive link between the occurrence and its source instead of making an assumption, then you are not following scientific protocol. Automatically attributing anything paranormal to that of a dead person to fit in with your beliefs, isn’t an investigative process, it’s just adapting the evidence to a pre determined bias.
Paranormal investigation should have no spiritual agenda, and there should be no overlap with any "New Age" religions, philosophies or practices. Protection rituals and exorcisms are just psychological tools. Demons don’t exist except in the minds of those that fabricated them.If there is life after death it’s a biological process not a metaphysical one.
Choose your side
I am against universal paranormal unity. Although we may have many of the same objectives, we are not all on the same side in our methods to prove them. "Choose your side, even if you're the only one on it".If you fail to question the many false claims made by the paranormal community, you are nothing more then a “paranormal enabler”, as responsible for their propagation as those that originated them.
While we should attempt to adhere to scientific standards and protocols, it should be recognized that error, deception and bias exists within the scientific community as in any other, and that science is not infallible, nor is it beyond question.
Investigation isn't about accommodating ever theory or incident; no matter how weak or questionable it is, so that you have more evidence. It's about dismissing it until what remains is only the most credible, even if as a consequence you have nothing.
Genuine paranormal phenomena are extremely rare, crying wolf with evidence that isn’t genuine, simply undermines your credibility in the event that you do obtain what could be considered legitimate proof. Claiming that you use scientific investigation methods does not mean that you do, you have to understand what they are and then apply them. You shouldn’t try to prove or disprove, neither approach is correct. You should be attempting to evaluate without bias in order to form a repeatable hypothesis which could potentially become a theory.
Because a group or individual is famous this doesn’t make them more credible then those that aren’t, neither does having a book, T.V show or popular website. Being a "para lemming" and refusing to question someone’s methods because they are famous no matter what cliff they lead you over, will do nothing to advance paranormal research. The mainstream scientific community doesn’t judge their peers by their degree of fame they judge them by their ability and the results they produce.
Walk your own path
I am not disappointed if I don’t reach my goal of capturing a picture of a full apparition, my only disappointment would be if I compromised it to attain a more achievable one.
I will never join any groups, or affiliate with any organizations. I have no interest in following anyone else’s rules, or codes of conduct. The path I walk is the one I chose and the only footsteps upon it are mine. I do not require that people respect what I have to say, and I do not automatically respect the opinions of others. Respect should be earned and not given without question. I fully acknowledge seeking publicity in order to further my opinions and research. The only thing unethical about publicity seeking, is if you pretend that you are not doing it. I also acknowledge that if I could ethically benefit financially from my interest in the paranormal I would do so. I welcome criticism from those with an opposing point of view.Bring it on.
"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own."
