Paranormal investigators like to pride themselves on the fact of remaining logical, unbiased and neutral-thinking when they conduct investigations of paranormal activity at a selected location. But are they really remaining 'neutral' as they conduct their research?
Many factors can contribute to each investigator's position during an investigation: how they were brought up, social status, religious beliefs, personal experience and a host of other things. Each person will walk into that investigation with a different perception of any paranormal phenomena, or lack of it at the location. Whether it's a realized factor or not, our subconscious minds carry each and every emotion and experience we have ever had. Is it possible that emotions can play a big role in how your paranormal investigations are conducted, and how any possible evidence is reviewed?

Let's take one example for a closer look at how emotions could effect paranormal research. Let's take a person for example, who is negative by nature. This person never seems to have anything good to say. They are constantly complaining about everything in their life from A to Z. Now, imagine this person with an audio recorder, trying to capture EVPS(electronic voice phenomena).
By concept, EVP recordings are the spirits speaking by means of the recorder. The investigator asks some simple questions, and many times receives intelligent answers from the spirit(s). If a negative person is the one holding the recorder, is the spirit really going to want to have a conversation with this person? Would you? Do you enjoy being in a room with someone who drips negativity from every pore on their body? Didn't think so!
So if you are sensitive to emotions and personality traits that others exhibit, doesn't it make sense that the spirits would feel the same way? The same could be said for a person who is angry or depressed at the time of an investigation, or just doesn't believe at all in the paranormal to begin with. I believe that factors such as these can certainly inhibit any evidence that a person or group of people can obtain while out doing an investigation. Perhaps it's best to clear your emotional load before going on each investigation so you can start with a fresh, open state of mind.
