Brother of Moors Murder Victim Berates Paranormal Sleuths Once again, members of a paranormal group are slammed as unethical in their pronouncements and promises. The brother of Moors Murder victim Keith Bennett (above) has slammed paranormal sleuths for claiming they know where the boy is buried. Alan Bennett, 58, accused them of being “immoral” after using EVP (electronic voice phenomena) to “locate” the 12-year-old’s grave.
“It is nonsense based on psychic messages,” Bennett said. “We have been plagued by this type for as long as I can remember. They gave false hope but have no answer. They never will be of any use in the search for Keith.”
Indeed, he is correct. Psychic and paranormal investigators do no better than chance in guessing or come up with information that someone else without any special powers could also uncover. This is not the first time we have covered stories of family members appalled by the callous self-serving behavior of people who claim to possess occult information. To present this information to the public is disgusting because psychic knowledge, EVPs or any other ghost technique has never been shown to be reliable or worthwhile at all. Police and families should steer clear of the empty promises of deluded “paranormal” people. The paranormal group is not named but back in 2012, Alan Bennett had previously named Worsley Paranormal Group of Manchester as the offenders.
On its website, the members identify themselves as “one of the North West’s most respected paranormal investigators.” How many are there and who decided that?

I don't know a lot about these murders because it's been a long time since I read about them and I think that there has been new information discovered since then. Maybe Lee will do one of her "This Day in History" articles about them if the date is ever right.

I don't know anything about them, and would enjoy an informative article. Looks like we'll have to wait a while though as the murders took place between July and October according to Wikipedia.

I looked up these frauds and they're still capitalizing on the Moors Murders. So-called paranormal investigators are even worse than gypsy fortunetellers and other con-artists because they have deluded themselves into believing they are actually picking up messages from the dead through EVP and other nonsense.

It may have been stupidity at first, but by now, they know that their EVP, etc. wasn't correct, but they keep on pretending and trying to convince others that they're communicating with the dead. In my opinion, they're just as unethical as the other con-artists. |

I wish someone would do an article on the Moors Murders.

The world is, and always has been, full of delusional people, but modern-day ghost-hunters are some of the most delusional. I saw where someone asked a ghost-hunter why ghosts would communicate in random, unintelligible scrapes and squeaks, and he said it was because they didn't have vocal cords. Why would a supernatural entity that doesn't have a corporeal body need vocal cords to communicate? And if spirits require vocal cords to speak, they wouldn't be able to make the random sounds called EVP either. |
