Blog Assignment #7

I have narrowed my sources down to three choices, two of them are television shows that come on once a week. Ghost Hunters which airs on the Sci-Fi channel every Wednesday at 10:00pm eastern time is a really great source for my topic because the TAPS team use a skeptics approach to their paranormal investigations and they like to explain how they do things to help the person watching understand whats going on during their investigations. The A&E channel also has a television program called Paranormal State which is a group of students from Penn State who have had paranormal experiences throughout their live and chose to go into the field to not only help themselves but others like them. It is not as detailed as Ghost Hunters and their style of investigations is totally opposite from the TAPS team but you can learn a lot of info.

I also chose to use the book "Paranormal Phenomena", I find that the book helps me with my research because it has very good opposing viewpoints from both sides of the fence.
