His outfit looks more like an Aussie in his trench than a ghost buster. Those guys wore green work outfits and had strange equipment strapped to their back. He's been participating in the Ghost Chronicles International podcats on Toginet and I think he's tops.
Hi Carlotta,
Heh heh, I did not mean to say that he was dressed like the "Ghost Busters" in the movie. What I meant by "ghost busting" attire was the sort of semi-uniform black clothing that you see people who are on TV shows and the convention/speaking circuit wear. I am sure that you know what I mean. It is a style that many small paranormal investigating groups imitate.
It could be broadly put into two catagories:
1. The tactical costume. It starts with a black T-shirt, but can grow out of control very quickly, with S.W.A.T. type logos, black combat clothing, vests covered with pockets, etc. It can be argued that this clothing is very practical, but I maintain that it is worn primarily to convey an image.
2. The mystical costume. Used mostly by psychics but some tv hosts don it as well. It will vary between a somber Johnny Cash suit to a black leather vampire costume with ruffled collar & cuffs.
This may sound petty to run people on the TV down for dressing up. Like I said above, I know that this is influenceing me when it probably should not. However, when I see someone dressed up like this, I know that I am looking at a bit of theatre. It makes me feel that they don't have much to offer in the way of real knowledge or evidence.
I do not mean to spoil your appreciation of Mr. Felix though. For what it's worth, I always enjoyed him on Most Haunted. I did not really take what he was saying as objective truth, but he presented it well. Maybe I need to give those podcasts a listen.
Regards, Canis
