Top Paranormal Experts: A Call for Professionalism

Ignored by TV

These select few top experts have earned a place in paranormal history because of the quality and integrity of their paranormal investigating that allow them the elite status of being regarded amongst the top in their fields. In addition to their vast knowledge and incomparable expertise, they each possess fascinating backgrounds, amazing documented experiences and intriguing personalities. And yet even with this invaluable wealth of paranormal experts at their disposal, TV executives prefer to dip into a pool of amateurs and novices in an attempt to give credibility to their TV shows.

In the last five or so years, primarily as a result of enormously popular TV programming of the late 1980s and '90s, hundreds upon hundreds of new self-proclaimed paranormal researchers and investigators have appeared, flooding the world of the paranormal. Ironically enough, if it were not for the “real experts,” previously mentioned, and the extraordinary research they had conducted, the majority of these recent novices and wannabes would have never been inspired to follow in their footsteps.

Christopher Chacon, for example, is a highly-regarded internationally known veteran paranormal investigator, and while he had been featured on countless TV programs all through the '80s and '90s, has not been interviewed or utilized on any of these recent shows. As earlier mentioned, there are only one or two investigators in the world who are considered the “ultimate paranormal experts” because of the global nature of field investigations that encompass all categories of the paranormal. Chacon is regarded as one of these experts.

Chacon is one of the few paranormal authorities whose expertise, experiences and research cross over each category of the paranormal. He has participated in thousands of cases investigating and researching all types of extraordinary phenomena, from supernatural phenomena such as poltergesists and haunts to UFO close encounters, from anomalous phenomena to cryptozoology, from psychic/parapsychological phenomena to demonic possession.

Chacon is also one of the world’s foremost experts and field explorers surrounding metaphysics and ancient mysticism. He is a former scientific investigator/researcher with the Phenomenology Division of The Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (O.S.I.R.). The O.S.I.R. is the only international private agency of its kind in the world that scientifically explores paranormal and anomalous phenomena. In addition to his elite O.S.I.R. training, Chacon’s research and experiences are made-up of an infinite number of laboratory and actual field research, encountering and exploring phenomena of every type. For these impressive reasons, Chacon is considered one of the overall top experts in the paranormal.
