hasnt changed my beliefs any, all are just theories, and unproven. so i dont look at most of them any differently than any other ideas people have come up with for the past 50 years. as far as cryptids are concerned, i look at all the new theories of interdimensional what not as just being a scapegoat of lack of evidence. " we didnt see anything because it jumped back over to its realm"...yeah not buying it...lol... or the giving them super powers of camera control or cloaking abilities, nope, not real as far as im concerned...
Ghost hunting, not sure about because i do very little in that area. but i still think all the high tech equipment is just a "feel good" need for what is just mainly a hobby for most people. so overall i think the new theories and ideas proposed by the current generation is mainly media sponsored commercialism. a new hobby/activity for the mildly curious spurred on by network television and youtube videos. (instead of buying barn doors that HGTV says you have to have to be current, you get hit with the newest rempod or every spectrum camera on the paranormal shows....lol)
