Yet Another Long Ghost Hunting Inspired Post
Wow. I sat down just to write a short blog entry and ended up going crazy. In brief, this started out as a post about ghost hunting and self-deception and then somewhere along the way got out of control. But I wrote it, and I think it’s interesting, and along being an award-winning, internationally renowned novelologist & board game afficianado, I’m a big skeptic, which is somewhat odd for a human being in general and a fantasy novelist in particular.
Bottom Line:  I wasted way too much time writing this to just let it go. So maybe if you’re really bored, you can read it. Or not.  It’s your call.

“If you see a book of matches move on its own then you’re either drunk or it must be a ghost.” This is the kind of “logic” the frat boys of Ghost Adventures employ. Is it any wonder I make fun of these ghost hunting reality shows?
Bought a new board game. Twilight Imperium by Fantasy Flight Games. It’s a big galactic conquest board game. How big? I recently bought two six foot long folding tables and side-by-side, they have barely enough room for the whole setup.

Time for a Time Out for Bigfoot
Jeepers, those wacky ghost hunters are at it again. Why do I keep watching these shows? I don’t really know. I don’t watch them as much as I used to. One can only watch people walking around in the dark for so long before a pattern emerges. If shadow people, garbled recordings, and cold spots are enough to convince you the dead are haunting the land of the living, I guess that’s your prerogative, but all I see is people who are easily fooled by their own imaginations.

Ghost Hunting for Dummies
Hey, do you want to be a scientist, but have no real scientific training? Do you like spending your nights sitting in dark rooms, asking questions, and looking for cold spots? Do you want to make a difference in the world but don’t feel like becoming a cop or a social worker? Good news, everyone!
You can be a ghost hunter!
Ghost hunting is a fun and exciting hobby! All you need is to read a book with sciencey sounding words, a camera, a willingness to believe in any crackpot “hypothesis” thrown your way, and a near complete lack of common sense.
