It will scare the living daylights out of you. I personally know many people have been involved and it is NO joke. If you think I'm kidding, call one up and ask if you can go along. Seriously.
My experience is that they are largely buffoons entertaining and scaring themselves and each other until they are ready to jump at any noise or shadow. It turns out that many things that alarm so-called paranormal investigators turn out to be quite mundane when you walk right up to them and examine them closely with a flashlight.
The most startling thing I've seen was a vase levitating in midair. The members of the local paranormal investigation group I was accompanying were practically shitting themselves and ready to get the hell out of there (though one had the nerve to take a snapshot). I walked up to it, and it turned out to be on a thin free-standing shelf the same color as the wall. If I hadn't, no doubt the story of the floating vase would be
circulating, complete with a photo that superficially appeared to support it.
There's a reason why paranormal investigation outfits usually only have one skeptic, at most...for flavor and to give them credibility. The few skeptical ones basically go around and show people that their houses aren't actually haunted.
Sometimes things happen that we can't explain or figure out the cause for. You don't always find out what went bump in the night. But that doesn't mean it was a ghost and couldn't possibly have been a raccoon.

You obviously didn't give it long enough. You are not going to come across big cases on every call. Have them call you when they come across a big case. I personally knew a priest for 25 years where people from all over the country and even in other countries would BEG him to come and help them with paranormal related problems in their homes. These people were desperate and tried everything to get rid of the problems and no one could help them. This priest was world-famous for being one of the few that could actually help these people. Catholic prayers were the cure - proof of the supernatural. Watch episodes of, "A Haunting" - he is portrayed in many of the episodes. That show is the real deal.
It only takes one trip with pseudoscientific investigators to realize that you're among people determined to be fooled.

Any competent stage magician could.
