關於我： DISCLAIMER: WARNING! PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING AND GHOST HUNTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. IT CAN FOLLOW YOU HOME AND DESTROY YOUR LIFE! THERE ARE POTENTIAL DANGERS INVOLVED. BE WARNED AND BEWARE!
READ OUR BLOGS FOR UPDATES ON BOYCOTTING AND PETITIONING THE NEW CARTOON NETWORK SHOW 'THE OUTSIDERS'. This is a new kid ghosthunting show that is scheduled to air this summer. We have uploaded a live round table event on kids and the paranormal taped last summer at Waverly Hills, Darkness Radio Events. Speakers include Chip Coffee, Chris Flemming, John Zaffis, Father Andrew Calder, Patrick Burns and the Constantinos. Read the blog, watch the Othersiders Previews, watch the Live Roundtable videos and help us get this show removed from the Cartoon Network.
Two hours of the current PSA's, interviews, testimonials and transcripts are located on the DangersoftheParanormal.com website. We rotate the interviews you will finds here on MySpace for the sake of space. Click the banner below to visit the main DangersoftheParanormal.com website.
My name is Dan. I am a 36 year old paranormal investigator who learned the hard way about the realities of the paranormal.
What is that reality? The reality is simple. We are sticking our heads into the unknown trying to obtain evidence and proof of something that has never been proven. This can be and eventually is dangerous. Surgeons spend years practicing and studying before they operate. Electricians apprentice for years. Skydiving had lessons you take before you are allowed to jump from a plane from 9000 feet above the earth. And ghost hunters or paranormal investigators?
Most watch TV, grab voice recorders and digital cameras and run out to emulate our heroes. There usually is no training available to the general public or television audience. There are no tests, licenses, fees. There is also no insurance, medical coverage or reimbursements for us as well. The professional ghost hunters who do this for a living? Few and far between.
No training required and anyone can go out and get themselves in trouble. There is no age limit set. Police will not arrest you for investigating if you are underage. Parents will not ground minors for doing the same. This has created an epidemic of people going out to ghost hunt and finding themselves in danger. No one warned them this was possible. No one explained the signs of danger before they found themselves in trouble. Even then, they weren’t sure what was going on. And it was too late by then......

The Victims
The victims are real. We will bring you their stories one by one. Some will tell their stories in their own words. You will hear who they are and how they were affected by the dangers of the paranormal. Others will remain nameless and anonymous but the facts of what they went through will be presented. Two of the first are below:
A 15 year old and his friends back east snuck into an abandoned building to investigate. They brought a voice recorder. Something attacked and affected the 15 year old on the top floor of this abandoned building. He began to hear voices immediately and see flashes of a past suicide that occurred at that location. His friends helped him out. The spirit affecting him followed him as well. After church intervention and an exorcism, he is on medication and will never be the same. Neither will his family or his friends.
A 18 year old pregnant girl played with a Ouija board with her friend in order to talk to what they thought was a deceased friend. A spirit attached to her and threatened her. Everyone around her, her mother, her friends, even strangers could feel this evil spirit that surrounded her. Everyone was affected. She called us in terror for her unborn child. . . . .
DANGERS OF THE PARANORMAL PSA - with Chris Flemming. Chris talks of the natural dangers involved on investigations. Full interview now online at DangersoftheParanormal.com.
The Blame
So who is to blame here?
Shall we blame those who are of legal age and pursuing ghost hunting without realizing it can be dangerous? Shall we blame the new onslaught of TV shows that portray paranormal investigating as fun and exciting and do not address the dangers to the general public? Do we blame the tv shows featuring underage children that are marketing ghost hunting to adults and (gasp) underage children? Who is to blame if the kids are affected? How about the adults?
Shall we blame adults who let their kids watch these shows without discretion or explanations? Many adults watch with their kids, having no idea of the dangers themselves. Do we blame them for not researching the dangers for themselves? Do we blame them for not being informed?
Shall we blame the current television media that is so hell bent on making ratings and jumping through hoops to find the next paranormal ratings superstar? Do we blame the editors, the productions companies and the decision makers for refusing to add disclaimers of these dangers to the shows themselves? Who would you blame? This is an epidemic that is only getting worse!
We will tell you of the dangers and let you decide for yourself.
DANGERS OF THE PARANORMAL PSA - with Dave Schrader, host of Darkness on the Edge of Town Paranormal radio with a message for parents and kids. His Two part full interview is now available at DangersoftheParanormal.com.
Our Mission and Our Goal
To have disclaimers shown before all paranormal investigation shows warning parents and children of these dangers. Adults only, under 18 with parental supervision.
To bring awareness to the adults about the risks to their children. If only more adults knew it could be dangerous, more kids would be educated and protected.
To bring this awareness in the public school system, awareness of the dangers that exists, and develop and promote constructive avenues where underage children can be properly educated concerning the aspects of the paranormal. Promotion of Jr. training programs that will teach our next generation of ghost hunters how the tools work, how an investigation is to be performed, how the research is done. Mock investigations where their skills can be honed in a safe and paranormal free environment so that when they are 18, they will be better trained than the majority of those out there calling themselves investigators.
Proper spiritual training for both kids and adults who are finding themselves on the receiving end of spirit based attacks. Expand awareness for sensitive kids and allow them to find a support group that will help them embrace and understand their gifts. Better educate new groups out there of the dangers that exist. Help them to receive proper training and support if and when they find something followed them home.
Expanded responsibility whenever the paranormal is involved. Teach respect for the spirit world. Investigating can be fun, adults need to be responsible in treating it like driving a car, or drinking, or smoking, or any other potentially dangerous activity. Get the parents involved with their kids. Know the signs of what can happen before it happens.
DANGERS OF THE PARANORMAL - 6 Minute interview with Mark & Debbie Constantino. These EVP Specialists talk of the dangers involved with the paranormal.
我想認識： Others who have experienced the Dangers of the Paranormal firsthand. Whether a slip or fall on an investigation, whether a client was drunk, whether you had something follow you home or dealt with an inhuman attack. Let us know your story. We want to promote the real stories of those hurt or affected while investigating. Real faces, real names. If you prefer privacy, we will keep that intact. The more people that tell the truth of their own personal experiences, the more others will realize that these dangers are real.
We will be releasing interviews with some of the nations top authorities in the paranormal field. You can watch these interviews and hear about these dangers from them first hand. We will be releasing video and audio of other victims, those who got hurt and survived to tell their story. THESE ARE THE REAL VICTIMS IN THEIR OWN WORDS! The stories are shocking, others are humorous in context. But they are real.....
Dawns Interview
17 year old Dawn, the ghosthunter, talks about her own paranormal experience that went a little to far... Dangers of the Paranormal live interview at Darkness Radio Waverly Hills event... The DOTP Project....Dawn is now 18 and we have released her interview. More interviews like this in the future!
We will be completing a documentary called the Dangers of the Paranormal. This will be your documentary, those who have contributed, we will let you speak for yourself about the dangers. We will be setting up a forum where you will be able to upload your own video stories and let us know what happened to you. This will be a first, a community of investigators, clients and innocent victims of the paranormal.
We will bring an awareness to the general public. Other plans for a nationwide campaign are in the works. This will be an uphill battle for me, my wife and our group, SOCALPRS. But we have the support of so many already. We are grateful and focussed on the goal.
We are asking for your help, for those who have something to contribute. If you can write an article on protection, send it to us. If you can help by spreading awareness or working with others on the Jr. Programs or numerous other sub projects that are being constructed, we need your help. If all you can do is email us and tell us something that happened to you, please do. If you have an idea, let us know. We will ask for your help from time to time as we need it. This is an awareness project for a generation of kids, it will not happen overnight, but it is already happening.
10 minute interview with Amy Bruni with Beyond Reality Radio is below:
This is the Dangers of the Paranormal project. It is an awareness project. Please spread the word. Our main website is at www.dangersoftheparanormal.com . Both that site and this site will grow over time. This is just the beginning.

Remember that we (parents, siblings, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, teachers, friends, television, newspapers, advertising and media) are supposed to be role models for our kids. Children see, children do..... Think about the responsibility portrayed by TV media concerning anyone of the paranormal shows they may watch, with or without your permission and approval. Think about the fact that at least 3 television production companies are actively recruiting for kids who ghost hunt, ages 8-18.What kind of role model will this set for your children? Think about that and watch below. We are trying to stop the epidemic before it starts and these production companies are trying to exploit it.

Kids ghosthunting on the cartoon network..... ack! Boycott this NOW!
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
Not sure if you have heard about the new reality series on the cartoon network called "the othersiders". It's a show about children exploring haunted locations. I don't think these networks will ever learn how irresponsible they are being.
I keep thinking of the pink Ouija board that is for sale at Toys R US..... you have to be 16 to drive, 18 to smoke, 21 to drink. But kids watching the cartoon network can learn to ghosthunt....
age of accountability
age of responsibility
Kids should not be dealing with after death issues. Adults have enough difficulty with this stuff.
Pass this along and prepare for the next wave of TV exploitation... as well as all the kids who will be sucked into it unprepared, uneducated and unprotected.
Boycott it.. Contact them at the link below and tell them you don't want your kids watching...

This was what I wrote:
The Othersiders. You are being irresponsible in letting kids ghosthunt on television. We deal with kids who have suffered traumatic events after a ghost hunt went wrong. We talk to the parents and try to help these families. You have to be 16/18 to drive, 18 to smoke, 21 to drink, but you will let kids deal with after death issues and be role models for other kids. What will happen when one of your kids gets affected by a ghost or spirit and suffers irreparable harm? NDA's may protect you for awhile, but the word will spread and your show will hopefully be pulled from the network.
We have started a boycott of your show related to the Dangers of the Paranormal project. Why? Every leading paranormal expert in the field agrees that ghost hunting is NOT for kids. The production company you are representing when picking up this project knows that. Other production companies know that. (EDITED OUT).
You, as the network carrying this program will be held responsible. It is not about ratings or the politics of having a show that can take advantage of the market. It is about kids being placed into danger and other kids imitating them. some of these couch kids will be hurt. The parents will contact us and we will be the first to interview them for the Dangers of the Paranormal project. It is just a matter of time. Think about the reputation of the cartoon network because it is at stake.
Sincerely,
Dan Mewhinney

Kids and ghosthunting rebuttle - re cartoon network ghosthunting show..
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
This is Dan from the Dangers of the Paranormal project. We have talked to parents who's kids have been hurt by paranormal issues. We have tried to help these families. It only takes a kid being touched one time by the paranormal to mess them up for life.
When the experts stress caution about kids ghosthunting , we should listen. I bet the Cartoon Network and the company responsible for producing this new show did not listen to the experts. They listened to ratings potential and $$$.
Ghosthunting groups everywhere refuse to let anyone under the age of 21 or 18 investigate with their team. This is a legal liability. Darkness Radio and Beyond Reality events have an age limit for kids attending. I believe that age is 14-16 WITH a parental unit attending. If this is standard in the paranormal field, why would we support a show promoting under age kids investigating? Where is the legal liability for these shows in production as well as the shows already being watched on television? Television is based on ratings. It is NOT reality. The shows you see are NOT exactly realistic when it comes to ghosthunting and every respectable group will tell you this.
If kids are properly trained and educated about the paranormal and are are supervised, it still may be considered dangerous. That is the reality of the paranormal. We are still dealing with after death issues, the spirit world, the unknown and other aspects that can (and have) traumatized full grown adults. Why do we think that kids will not be affected in the same way? We must be idiots to think that. Most parents of these kids know little about ghost hunting, protocols, spiritual protection. They will not be passing this information off to their kids. They will just say "hey, go watch tv, but limit it too the cartoon network!" So where will kids learn? And are they at the age to learn this anyways?
Kids under 18 are not always responsible. Junior high and high school is a time where hormones run rampant and experimentation usually occurs. Drugs and alcohol, sneaking out to meet a new boyfriend or girlfriend, some kids may be able to deal with these issues. Others can not. If we treat the potential paranormal dangers like ... well ... potential paranormal dangers, kids should not be watching how to do an evp session, ouija board, spirit communication, etc... LEt kids be kids. When they are of legal age, let me be adults.
All it will take is one of these kids getting attacked and traumatized for life and all these underage shows will be removed overnight from the network. Until that happens, let's protect them by not making the focus of Cartoon Networks new season an underage ghost hunting show. TV will not be there when stories surface of kids getting hurt while ghosthunting after watching this show. These shows are role models for this next generation of ghosthunters. . . . if we let them watch alone, we are responsible for what happens, especially if it is later determined to be dangerous. . . .
If you are a parent, you decide for your kid. The great majority of investigators that I know feel it IS dangerous. We then represent the feelings of the community, not some exec at the Cartoon Network!
Once again, we have talked to parents who's kids have been hurt by paranormal issues. We have tried to help these families. It only takes a kid being touched one time by the paranormal to mess them up for life..... do you want that to be your kid?
