LLIFS: The best of 2022
As we wind down for the year, this week I'm going to share my favourite articles I have written this year in 2022! What was your favourite? What do you want to see me write about in 2023?
Unwanted attention
One of the challenges in trying to gain access to a venue is the unwanted attention that the paranormal can bring a location if not handled in a respectful and responsible way.
Why is it so hard to believe?
This is a topic I have spoken about a few times before, especially in my books. In a tweet I came across the other day from a famous paranormal investigator, I felt compelled to explore it again. Why is it that people can believe in ghosts, aliens and even demons, yet the concept of Bigfoot seems to be unbelievable to so many?

What we need

Is it an act of the medium or can spirits make items appear or disappear? Could this be related to what we know as the JOTT phenomena?
