Seriously?
Paranormal investigators?
Those clowns with their own reality shows who claim that light reflecting off a dust mote is proof of a ghost because it's an orb?
We're only missing the illuminate and we have another Scoobs.

i'm sure if you lack critical thinking skills and are gullible you will. FYI I have done as you have said there methods were laughable .And there hostility to any kind of questioning was eye brow raising . But unlike you I not going to place my hat on my own testimony .
Most of thease types don't want to investigate they want personal confirmation.

He really pissed me off when he insulted the United State's history. I had to call him out on that bullshit, which I'm sure a) he didn't read and b) even if he did read it he won't acknowledge it.

But it's true.

To answer your question, I just skimmed through chapters 3 and 4 in "Meet the Witnesses", and the author explains that a Marxist group of revolutionaries had taken the country by force in 1910, so at the time of the miracle in 1917, they were in complete power and had control over the media. In the years that followed the miracle, there were 3 primary newspapers that continually made fun of the miracle. The revolutionaries publicly vowed to remove all religion from the country within 2 generations and there was much bloodshed in the years that followed the miracle. Yet the crowds continued to grow at the site of the miracle throughout the 1920s, once recorded at 400,000 in 1926. What wound up happening is, even some of the revolutionaries were convinced of the miracle, and it eventually led the whole revolution to fail.
The book also speaks of multiple atheists who came to make fun of the miracle and were immediate believers. The book also mentions that from what the author could gather, that the miracle was visible within 600 square miles. There is just too much to relating these short posts. I would suggest getting a copy of the book.

Paranormal investigators? Come on, if that type of stuff is convincing to you then it's no surprise you find the Fatima stuff compelling.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. It was worth a good yawn. Now what?
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.
