Investigation Techniques : Loon-acy

Mission Spooky

12/28/21 • 13 min

As a huge Thank You for waiting so long for new episodes, we're releasing our new segment early!

Tiktok and Youtube have grown into a disastrous mess of paranormal nonsense. Through these mediums, we have witnessed “investigators” run away from sounds that are made by everything from mundane wildlife to man-made machinery all the while making the average viewer believe it was a ghost, demon, skinwalker, etc.

Because we believe in using our platform for education, we're going to be bringing you these quick segments called Investigation Techniques. These segments allow us the opportunity to discuss all sorts of problematic issues Paranormal Investigators may face. The first series of IT segments will focus on the creepier-sounding side of the natural world and we'll be using audio clips for clear examples.

Today we will discuss the Common Loon and the TikTok video that prompted these segments in the first place.

Loon audio provided by https://xeno-canto.org for our educational purposes.
