Conventional thinking regarding the paranormal generally refers to activity being related to a person place or thing and it's/their sordid history, or actions. Over the past several months I've been talking to a number of people from various backgrounds around the world (gotta love the inter net) regarding M theory and parallel dimensions vice the typical haunted house scenario.

All evidence lends to the fact that any given place historical or not, can be a location for recording and researching anomalous activity, whether it is your own house, farmers field, middle of a lake, etc, any time of the day... So with this being more evident, is the paranormal community so enamored with traipsing around purported "haunted" locations in the pitch black?

Based on these conversations which I've been having with members of various research societies, I feel that it is up to more of us, as some are already there, to open ourselves up to these facts and expand our collective research to encompass more than the conventional thinking. This gives the research community the ability to set controls in environment and conditions which can be replicated in order to solidify our findings or to come up with alternate answers to the questions that we all seek.

In short, I'm not convinced a locations history has any bearing on paranormal activity, bearing in mind that I'm not talking about residual type hauntings or trapped energies etc... I would hypothesize that the same level of activity can be picked up or explained at any given location as what is recovered during an investigation of a "haunted" location.

This won't be popular with the "ghost hunter" community as it goes against all current conventions for their "research" and becomes less thrills and chills and more scientific in nature. Science is a word that is often tossed around, but seldom have I seen in actually used in a majority of the organizations. Science is more than gizmo's and gadgets that go ping, beep and have a lot of lights. Science is about controls, and replication, to produce quantifiable results for presentation and scrutiny.
