I haven't actively been using this account, but I feel it’s important to clarify our position.
Our investigations are not “tours” designed to influence perception through suggestion or pareidolia in order to manufacture a narrative or create a staged “spooky” experience for profit. Authentic investigation, in our view, should involve minimal cost—primarily to assist hosts with basic expenses—and while a tip is always appreciated, it is never expected.
We take a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. There are no fabricated backstories, no embellished names, and no theatrics. What we do, we consider a privilege.
Experiences marketed as “ghost hunting” or “spooky encounters” for entertainment, particularly those driven by profit, often raise serious concerns about authenticity. An old building is not inherently haunted, and investigations are not confined to nighttime—phenomena, where genuine, are not bound by the clock.
We also believe that presenting ghost stories or guaranteed sightings as part of a “tour” is misleading. Such practices risk trivialising both the field and the entities involved.
It is worth noting that only a very small percentage of people will ever see or meaningfully interact with a spirit. This alone highlights the importance of approaching the subject with honesty and restraint.
This perspective is also why we have stepped back from social media. What we do is deeply personal and, to us, very special. While I may occasionally share brief insights, I will not engage in theatrics or portrayals—such as adopting personas, claiming titles like “medium” or “sensitive,” or suggesting the ability to “cleanse” or control spirits—that I believe misrepresent the reality of this work.
In our experience, genuine practitioners do not seek attention or make exaggerated claims. Discretion and respect are essential.
That said, we do continue our efforts to communicate and observe. I have been doing this for over 50 years—not by pursuit, but by circumstance. I’m fortunate that Lisa also has a natural awareness in this area, which allows Dusty’s Paranormal to operate as a grounded and focused research partnership. On occasion, we invite trusted individuals to join us.
This weekend will be no exception, with friends joining us from both near and interstate for what we hope will be a meaningful step into the past.
