They use technology to prove or debunk the presence of supernatural entities in their cases. The most renowned experts trained Dave Tango in the field of paranormal science. He uses his training and expertise in problem-solving to determine if there is indeed a presence of ghosts. The team does not enter a location, assuming right away that there is paranormal activity. In some instances, the questionable activity is just caused by an animal or the wind.
Shari DeBendenetti
Shari DeBendenetti was a former cast member of Ghost Hunters, but she left after two years. In addition, Shari is also a real estate agent working under J. Bennett & Company. At 25 years old, she experienced some supernatural activity in her home, which encouraged her to form a team with her friends. Her team investigated reports of paranormal activity within her hometown. Later on, she began working as a professional paranormal investigator. In 2019, Jason Hawes invited Shari DeBenedetti to become part of the second season of Ghost Nation.
Ghost Nation Fake Or Real?
The team of Ghost Nation does not arrive at the scene, assuming right away that there are ghosts. They prefer to make an objective investigation because they believe that majority of the cases brought to them are not ghost-related. Some cases can be explained by science and are far from being supernatural phenomena. This is the reason why Jason Hawes and his team of paranormal experts use high-tech equipment to prove or disprove the presence of ghosts.
