At one time, we could say there were only a handful of paranormal teams within the great state of Michigan, but as of 2010, we can say....we have no idea how many paranormal investigation teams are in Michigan. It might be safe to say ghost hunting has become the unofficial state pastime! There are probably near 100 "teams" trying to function here. This decade has seen an explosion in paranormal popularity. From shows like “Ghost Hunter’s” on Sci-Fi Channel, “Paranormal State,” and countless others that have come and gone and are still in the works, the paranormal world has found its place in pop culture. Will it fade back into the shadows? At some point, like all fads, it will. But the good thing to come out of this new found popularity is an increase in the serious study of paranormal investigation (and not so serious some could argue) and other related fields. You can’t ignore something people have been experiencing since…well…the beginning of human existence. There will always be an interest in those things we don't understand and find mysterious.
