    Amazon selling paranormal investigation equipment

    I was a little surprised to see Amazon doing this http://www.amazon.com/tag/paranormal...ag_tdp_hd_itdp

    I think the whole paranormal investigation equipment market is a little dubious with claims about 'ghost detectors' clearly difficult or impossible to prove!

    Well, to be fair, the only item I saw on that link was a video camera light\IR source. It was tagged as "Paranormal investigation" but that can be done by any member (C. Taylor in this case), the FAQ is here. The tagging screen says that it may take two weeks for a tag to appear so there is some screening but I'd imagine that's only there to stop rude words and derogatory comments.
    Defendants might as well have said: Beneficent creatures from the 17th dimension use this bracelet as a beacon to locate people who need pain relief and whisk them off to their home world every night to provide help in ways unknown to our science.

    How about this then http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Meter-EM.../dp/B000ZH7G1E

    Look at the reviews section, in particular! People aren't even calling in paranormal investigators now. They're just buying an EMF meter and convincing themselves they're haunted.

    And look at who's selling it;

    "In Stock.
    Ships from and sold by Toyzz. "
