Sensationalism

Sensationalism does nothing to promote paranormal research in a positive way. Sensationalism only serves to harm the study of the paranormal. Fake reports of ghosts on sites that thrive on fakery and sensationalism are in my opinion, the paranormal equivalent of fake news tabloids such as The Weekly World News, and why people would rather ooh and ahh over the fake articles rather than use logic and common sense is beyond me. Maybe they live such mundane lives that the sensationalist and fake articles are all they have to look forward to. I know some sure get bent out of shape when the fakery is revealed. I'm not interested in pictures of orbs or smoke, nor am I interested in cgi videos of ghosts, aliens, ufos, bigfoot, fairies, etc..
