"you need to choose one that is not going to take your accounting of the events that you experienced as fact..." 

On the topic of needing to choose a paranormal investigator group SWFPR said this quote above. You need to choose a paranormal investigative group that is not going to believe what you are saying and take it as fact until you bring them in and have them investigate, until you pay them to come. 


"Not everyone believes in ghosts, but more than a third of Americans do, according to a survey from Public Policy Polling...  26 percent of the 1,200 registered voters who were surveyed said they had actually seen one before."

No other statistics were given but the statistic that was provided was 1/3 of Americans believe in ghosts and we know this because of the answer in a survey that said 26 percent of 1,200 people in the study say they have seen one before. 1- saying that they have seen one before does not provide for the statistic that they believe in ghosts. 2- 1,200 registered people is not what represents Americans as a whole. 3- 26 percent is the provided number that assists in supporting the "more than a third of Americans". 26 percent is LESS than a 3rd.
