Five reasons to use an Apple Mac for paranormal investigations

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 · 1:17 pm · 32 Comments

“I frequently receive emails asking what type of computer and software I use to search through the hours of audio/video footage following a paranormal investigation. So, I decided to write an article and let you know the answer is simple; I use a Mac,” Paranormal Daily News reports. “I don’t claim to be a Mac expert, but I’ll share several reasons I’ve completely severed my ties with the Windows world and become a loyal customer of Apple Inc.”

• First, I need a computer that works.
• Second, there’s amazing software that comes with a Mac.
• Third, the MacBook Pro I purchased two years ago is still better than your brand new PC.
• Fourth, Apple has outstanding customer care.
• Fifth, a lot of paranormal investigators perform EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) work.

Paranormal investigation IS NOT an industry, or if it is, it should be right next to astrology, palm readers, physic advisors and other crap that feeds out of the ignorance of gullible people. It amazes me how far people will go to believe in this crap.

Now if only there was software that was capable of disabusing people of their ridiculous stone age superstitions. What’s next? Kooks who believe Bush blew up the WTC advocate Macs for conspiracy generation software?

HI Shadow:

Of course Bush did it. That deer-in-the-headlights look on his face while he was reading (or “reading”) that book with those kids (when he was given the news) was simply an explanation of:

“Holy shit, I can’t believe it actually worked!”

It’s a well-kept secret: iPad actually stands for intergalactic Pad.

Reliable sources say that Apple has made the leap from Bluetooth to “Spacebooth”, which will be activated through a firmament-ware update.

With Spacebooth activated, millions of iPads resonating across the Internet will collectively emit a subspace signal that can be picked up by friendly aliens, who will come to share their cultural, medical and technological advances with us.

Apple’s business rationale: Using a shared space currency called the Cosmo, many of the aliens are expected to purchase iPads for themselves (direct from Apple) and load them with entertaining Earth videos for those long flights back home.

I can see the creation of an Apple ‘New Paranormal Business Sales’ team. Their tag line can be, “Real Machines for Phony Science”.

……Oh wait, the ‘New Global Warming Business Sales’ team already use that tag line.

EVP? Wow. So you’ve scientifically proven the existence of ghosts and spirits? No? Perhaps it has something to do with there being NO SCIENCE in your work.

At best PSI is for the naive and clueless. At its usual worst, it’s a fraud and a rip-off.

MDN, why do you give this pseudo-science crap the validity it craves but doesn’t deserve? It’s bad enough Huffington Post lends credibility to such shysters. Very disappointing.

Stick to actual Mac new please.

Plus, most poltergeists and ghosts only have rudimentary Windows skills, so the Mac OS X environment is immediately confusing for them, giving the researchers time to collect data. They have to be fast about it, though, because those spirits learn the operating system pretty darn fast given the chance, just like the living.

I think it is cool. I don’t believe in ghosts but its cool that others are trying to prove otherwise. It would also be cool if they did prove it.

However I suspect that the ghost of all those dead and land-filled buried PCs will never be seen or detected. RIP (Rust In Pieces)

@His Shadow…

I had a “Holy S@#T!” moment yesterday when I was having lunch with someone I’ve known for about two years, as normal a person as you would ever meet, and they dropped the bomb in the conversation, “Well, anybody who knows anything KNOWS that 9/11 was a Bush/Cheney plot!”

I laughed thinking it was a joke, and they just stared right at me with a face like, “Holy cow, you don’t know this yet?”

To all the negative posters here….lighten up. Its a fun article and is provoking fun comments…like Bizarro Jeff’s.

Maybe these ghost hunters could use their techniques to resurrect your dead stench of humour.
