[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9240983, member: 4534"] I used to work at a museum housed in a building that was more than 150 years old. Europeans can stop laughing, that's really old for the United States. Anyway, we used to allow ghost hunting clubs to hang out at the museum at night. I don't believe in ghosts, but the hunters were always respectful of the building and they provided us with a nice donation so I didn't mind hanging out with them. At one event, they had a guest speaker who mentioned he was a retired police officer and followed that up with, "And in the 1980s, when we were having all of those occult related crimes..." which instantly got my attention. No, there wasn't a spate of occult related crimes in the 1980s. Or at the very least there's no good evidence there was a wave of occult crimes back then as police departments didn't typically report such things to anyone. I kept my mouth shut because I was an observer not a participant, but I wish he had gone into more detail about these supposed occult crimes. Because all the evidence I've seen is that these occult crimes were in the minds of some scared people. We tend to laugh at the Satanic Panic today, but there are still a few people who take it seriously. We also tend to be dismissive because the name is rather silly and the idea of anyone worried about magic, witchcraft, or heavy metal seems quaint, But as [I]Michelle Remembers [/I]demonstrates, the panic tapped into parental anxieties regarding the wellbeing of their children. You see those same anxiety reflected in the fears of those who use words like groomers these days. [/QUOTE]
