Well before I get into the hate part, I gotta fill you in. My paranormal Research Team and I are holding a charity event for the Make-A-Wish of Toronto & Central Ontario (Canada).  As you know, they are dedicated to bringing happiness to children with life threatening illnesses through wish granting. Well, our event is going to be held in Hamilton at a local popular haunted building ... which other groups are holding events there too next month and one is the day after ours. Just an FYI ... that was the only place that could give us a decent price (as I had to go out of pocket) for the rental and stuff... and this is the HATE I'm getting from people:

>    Hi. My name is Elizabeth Boorden. I have been involved in the paranormal field for about 10 years in the Greater Toronto Area. I recently found out that you are holding a halloween event a the custom house on Oct 30th. Please take this as "constructive criticism" because I only want what is best for your group and other groups that have been established well before the spookies established themselves.
>    First of all, the location in which you picked is rather out of your region, don't you think? Mississauga, Brampton and even the outer GTA has many facilities in which you could have chosen for your event. They are more competitive in size and capacity in which you are insinuating your event to be. There is no way you are going to fit a band into the customs house. Also, the ghosts there do not exist any longer. My friends and associates of other more prominent groups in that region have already let them free and they clear that building every time there is an event there. Looking for any spirits or ghosts in the custom house is only a waste of time, really.    Secondly, there is going to be way too much competition for your event. The price range of which you are charging is much more than the admission to the other events in the area. Again .. held by more prominent groups of both paranormal and non paranormal related. I am talking about groups with much more noriaty than yours. I am sure the spookies are good people, but honestly, who ARE you? Do you realistically think you will obtain the audience you are anticipating when Haunted Hamilton has their event just 24 hours after yours? I personally feel that this is unethical on your part to hold your event, at your specified date and time when another group that is your elder is holding theirs the next day. If you can move your event, you should as soon as possible.   Think about it. I also feel you are wasting any money you are investing in this and wasting the time of the Rescue Mediums and Terry Boyle because I just do not think your little event is
>  going to have much of an audience being that there are other groups holding their festivities the same weekend. I feel I would be doing my duty to contact each party attending and ask them to reconsider showing to your event, but I could be wrong about all of this and I do wish your team the very best.  
>   This e mail was not intended to hurt your feelings, but as someone who is your senior when it comes to paranormal, I feel that you should take my advice. I am also willing to mentor you and your group so that your region can have a outstanding team in your area and one day be able to be on the same scale as the other known groups.

What the hell is WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!   This is an event for sick and dying CHILDREN ... some of which reside in the very city the event is being held at....
Please help me out by sending some good energy my way. I'm getting bogged down by peoples negativity with this. This isn't' the only e mail of this nature I received, but it's the most recent.
I'm asking all of you to please send out some energy for us so that we can rise above all this negativity and have a successful event. The Make-A-Wish really needs this!
