No matter how professional equipment is in use by your paranormal investigators team, and no matter how scientific mind you are or how sceptical towards supernatural you are, it’s never a wise decision to ignore the unseen influence caused by spirits and negs. Those entities can attack you with negative thoughts, fear, or even attack you physically – that’s why it’s wise to have an occultist helping your team.

Because the ignorance is the very first step to the grave, especially when it comes to investigating the paranormal, you have to remember, that it doesn’t matter if you’re a spiritual person, or a scientific mind, if you believe in ghosts, or if you’re the debunker guy. You can use all this tech equipment, EMF meters, digital cameras, thermal cameras etc. trying to prove the existence of ghosts, or testing every possibility of fraud, but – it won’t hurt you if you will have a extraordinary help right beside you.

It’s about knowledge

Every paranormal investigator need to have someone to help him when the impossible will turn into very aggressive possible :). A person that know how to use herbs, garlic, salt and sulphur to deal with psychic energies, how to send spirits towards the light, how to deal with a demon in house, or even how to exorcise the demon from a person. A person that know why crystals are so significant, who was Lilith, that Djinns were summoned by Salomon, and why the word “Demon” have the negative meaning today, while in the past it was in common use for both good and evil entities.

Such person’s knowledge and skills are useless for the investigation itself, because it’s more theoretical, and as we all know, paranormal investigations are about real proofs. But the way such person can help when the investigation will turn nasty, or when the evil will follow investigator to his/her house – this can’t be dismissed, as this help can be very valuable.

Who can provide such help for paranormal investigators? Those who deal with occult: general occultists, druids, shamans, shamanists, white witches, demonologists. I wouldn’t trust “just-a-psychic” in this one, as those people are often skilled in communicating with spirits, but they have no idea how to deal with demons – it’s not their area of expertise :). Generally, every person dealing with occult that know what he/she can do and what are his/her limitation can help – and the more exerience, the better.

Remember – having an occultist around won’t hurt you, but it might come in handy :).

If you’re a paranormal investigator, do you use help of those skilled in occult? If so, why? Share your thougths in comments, please.
