To be or not to be - part 2

Ok, this has been bugging me for some time now.

I go and read alot of paranormal message boards and one of the more popular ones out there seems to have alot of this going on. Someone will give their account of a supposed paranormal event.
Here is an unrelated example of this:

"I was sitting in my living room a few nights ago and I was watching TV when all of a sudden I heard one of my kids toys go off on its own. I didn't think much of it but 20 minutes later it happened again. Could this be a ghost setting off this toy?"

The reply by most people to these goes STRAIGHT to paranormal causes rather than rational thinking. I'm not kidding, people give answers like "well this entity that is setting off these toys doesn't seem like it's harming anyone, have you thought of bringing in a priest to bless the place?"
You can't be serious?? from a toy that went off on it's own, people are suggesting clergy to come to a residence and bless a home for that?
First and foremost, look into the logical explanations of whats happened. Could this be a motion sensored toy? are the batteries in this thing dying and this is a mechanism that tells you of this? did your child just get done playing with it and it's on a timing sensor to get it to come back and play again?
There are 100 ways and counting of reasons why this toy went off on its own but people will throw paranormal around like it's water.
This is the problem with our field. Everyone wants EVERYTHING to be explained by the paranromal that they forget to use their common sense in these situations. If paranormal is used to explain everyday occurances in every situation then its lost its entire meaning.

This is another reason why people second guess the use of paranormal investigators because there are groups and individuals that will suggest paranormal only or most of the time rather than using their common sense.

If you are a potential client of ours, rest assured we are going to use every single, however remote explanation is out there to find out what is going on in your home or business. I, personally, will not accept paranormal off the bat and neither will our group. This is why our equipment that is brought along is catered to the debunking of paranormal rather than the proving of it.

EMF Meters - Help us to show where there are energy leaks in the home that can have health related causes.
Temperature gauges - help us to figure out why you got that cold spot, a drafty window most likely..
Cameras of all sorts - after we go back and review them we can find explanations for the sounds in your attic (animal)

People forget there are a number of logical reasons why something has happened. Going to paranromal causes right away is not only wrong, it gives the homeowners a false sense of what may really be happening.

IF and this is a big IF... there is something paranormal happening, with our group you will know it to be the case cause we will have expensed every hypothetical reason to prove the otherwise first.

People who don't, give this field it's bad rep and also give people in need a false sense of fear.
