Ghost Hunting 101
Ghost Hunting Tips 1. I would never suggest to anyone to go buy equipment and just on a whim start investigating places. You should have a great understanding of the paranormal and spirit world , also you should know what to look for when ghost hunting. There are many groups and organizations out there that would be glad to take along novice ghost hunters and show them the ropes of ghost hunting. 2. The following categories are strictly our opinion and how we feel about ghost hunting. The information that you find on this page our Team follows on a regular basis. My hope is that anyone visiting our website might find something useful to polish their ghost hunting skills.
Ghost Hunting Protocol 1. Never Trespass: Always get permission before going ghost hunting. If you are ghost hunting in a Public place make sure you are aware of the times that the area may close. Always look for posted signs. Avoid areas where access is prohibited. 2. Never go Alone: Always go in groups of 2 or more. This is good in a few ways. You will have someone to validate any paranormal activity. Also if you were alone and would get into an accident or need help. 3. Carry ID: Always carry proper identification with you. If you are ever in a public or private area and are stopped by athorities you may need to show proper ID. 4. Do not Use Drugs or Alcohol: I think this is self explanatory. 5. Do not Litter: Always clean up after you leave an investigation site. You should leave it just as you found it. 6. Check the Area: Always check the area in the day time. You will need to be familiar with the area in order to avoid dangerous things. 7. Never smoke during an investigation. This can effect pictures and video. 8. Check all equipment before going out to the investigation site. 9. Limit the people talking during recording audio (EVP's). This will make it easier when going through the audio. 10.
