This book is a foundation for those of us who are sometimes seen as a resource, or the \\u201cspooky friend.\\u201d 6:42

Common misconceptions that witches have about paranormal investigation. \\u201cI\\u2019ve actually been kind of surprised by the reaction from witches when I bring up paranormal investigation around them, because I find that they have two really big misconceptions, and the first one is that all of them seem to think that paranormal investigation is something that happens specifically on TV and only for TV.\\u201d 7:59

\\u201cA lot of these spirits aren\\u2019t happy where they are.\\u201d\\xa0\\u201cSometimes you have paranormal activity because they are trying to get someone\\u2019s attention, because they need some assistance, or they need some sort of help.\\u201d 9:05
