The “Deadliest Catch”. Millions of people watch the TV show by this name, which is about catching crab in the Bering Sea. It is an exciting show! I don’t doubt that this vocation IS one of the deadliest….in the natural realm.
However, there is another “catch” that is far more deadly. The deadliest catch I’m referring to is the intentional seeking to interact with spirits on ‘the other side’.
Last week on Zak Bagans “Aftershocks”—in which he interviews people from previous investigations—featured two people who are in serious trouble as a result of engaging in the deadliest catch.
Both people he interviewed had become obsessed with certain locations they had investigated, and it had terrible effects upon them. Indeed a man had become temporarily possessed while taunting the spirits.
The deadliest catch. For a while I have wanted to use that phrase in reference to ghost hunting/paranormal investigating. Here is my point: what percentage of people who are actively involved in communication with spirits are experiencing difficulties? (physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial, etc.)
I once asked Dave Schraeder that question, and he admitted that the percentage had to be pretty high. When you factor in demons that lay low for long periods after coming home with investigators, then the percentage is even higher.
May I gently suggest that the closely held dark secret of the paranormal community is precisely this fact—most investigators are showing outward signs of demonic oppression or worse. By oppression I don’t necessarily mean painful attacks. One of the busiest investigators in the world experiences rain in their house on a regular basis, but they just shrug it off or even laugh. But we must remember that the darkening of one’s mind/heart is always a clear and present danger when messing with the spirit realm, no matter how well-intentioned or supposedly protected.
The deadliest catch is not crabs. There are no earthbound spirits to ‘catch’….only demons who will attach, hook-line-and sinker, to those who disobey God’s law by engaging in spiritism.
Anybody who ghost hunts is involved in the deadliest catch. What grieves me immensely is how many investigators are under spiritual attack. Obsession is one indicator of demonic influence, and how many investigators are passionate to the point of obsession with EVP collection, some location, a particular spirit, etc?
May the Lord use us as spiritual “Coast Guard” to help save those drowning in the deadliest catch.

A Fatal Presuppositional Flaw at the Rhine Institute Re Psi
By Reverend Mark Hunnemann
Psychic Phenomena, or Psi, are events that cannot be explained by conventional scientific observation. These are the phenomena that parapsychologists study. Extrasensory perception (ESP) and Psychokinesis (PK) are primary, but there are others. My goal is not to give an exhaustive analysis of the Rhine Institute or of Psi. I simply want to accent that Dr Rhine and his followers failed to distinguish between normal Psi and demonic Psi, a fatal presuppositional flaw.
Everyone reading this has had some occasions when they intuited their loved one was in need. Some of this can be dismissed in that we tend to be always focusing on our loved ones, and often nothing happens...but jump when it does happen. Nevertheless, there is too much anecdotal evidence to dismiss--we have some inexplicable connection to our loved ones when there is a problem, I have experienced this. It is mysterious, but not necessarily demonic. It may be the Holy Spirit prompting us.
The problem arises when we intentionally seek to to contact the dead.
"Unfortunately, Dr. Rhine dismissed biblical data in his classification of ESP and thus missed a vital area of information and a fundamental fact : psychic phenomenon and the occult have always been intertwined." Dr. Walter Martin.
Whenever we intentionally attempt to seek knowledge beyond us, or try to move an object, we have moved into the occult. Martin acknowledged that there was normal ESP but hastened to add that most ESP and all PK was demonic.
If one attempts to seek information re the future or tries to move an object, it is done in disobedience to God's law...and is occultic in nature. And any observable results are demonic..
Since Rhine and his successors did not make a distinction between normal Psi and demonic Psi, and since many of them do intentionally study ESP and PK, many (if not most) of their findings are fatally flawed. Our presuppositions do matter!
