So, you want to go ghost hunting?
Back to Ghost Hunting Tips
One of the first things regarding ghost hunting I can tell you is, learn to pay
attention to what you feel. Do not write off thoughts that you may consider as
crazy or even as your own. Consider all thoughts that "pop" into your head
and their source. Do not walk in fear. Begin learning to be aware of spirit
through meditation or prayer. One who is aware of spirit will sense when spirit
is present. I can feel the presence of spirit physically through "goose bumps"
sometimes. Other times, it is a "rushing feeling" within my deepest being.
Sometimes it is simply just a "knowing." God is spirit and we are spirit - part of
the whole. Therefore, we can feel different parts of the whole. You are the
most important instrument you can use to sense the paranormal.
Spirit may be "sensed" at any time or any place. It does not have to be at
night; but you do have to have a clear and open mind. If you are
preoccupied, angry or depressed, you will struggle to sense anything at all.
Also, spirit can sense spirit - you. The wrong frame of mind may deter spiritual
activity. Remember, like minds attract like minds. If you are a being of light,
you will attract beings of light. If you are walking in darkness, then darkness
will be attracted to you. Darkness does not like or understand light.
Follow your heart - investigate the area you are drawn to. What places seem
to come to mind or interest you? What opportunity has come to you for
searching...hunting? Go there. And always be willing to learn and grow
spiritually through spiritual experiences. Seek them and they will find you. Do
not be afraid to speak out and ask permission to photograph the spiritual
realm. Announce you come in peace.
Involve others in your spiritual journey. Ghost hunting should not be done
alone. Research the area you wish to investigate. What is the history or
legend of the place? Have someone in your group take notes of all that
happens...sort of a "ghost secretary." Record feelings, happenings and
observations. Share thoughts and look for common threads in those
thoughts. Are you being spoken to? Be respectful and do not fear
questioning that which your eyes do not physically see. "What am I here for?
What am I to see?"
Take photos, video and voice recordings if you like and try to capture
evidence of the paranormal. Seek to eliminate any other source of
explanation for your results. For example, if you choose to run a voice
recorder, make sure no one talks or even whispers during the investigation.
When taking pictures with a camera, remember that dust will produce "orbs"
and other effects that appear supernatural. The presence of car headlights,
rain, mirrors, glass and even camera straps (which should be removed while
photographing) can produce "fake ghost images." I have even seen a cloud
of bees near a beehive appear as a "mist" or "ectoplasm" in the photograph.
Do not wear perfumes, fragrances or colognes as some have noticed different
scents and smells in the air during supernatural activity (such as cigar smoke
or a unique fragrance). As a special reminder, it is best that your
investigations are alcohol and drug free for credible evidence. When leaving,
it may be a good idea to speak blessing and tell all that is there to remain
behind and not follow you home. Many have reported having spirits follow
them home after an investigation for a time.

Here's some quick notes:
Bring a camera. You may use digital or a basic camera with 400 speed film
(prefer a glass lens - not a cheap plastic lens such as a disposable camera
will have). The "automatic lighting feature" on your digital camera will produce
better colors during your investigation. Pack extra batteries, film and
flashlights. Avoid using camera flashes across from reflective objects such as
mirrors, chrome and glass. Take several shots from the same location and
from different angles to help decipher the spirits from dust or reflections.
Waiting thirty seconds after moving before taking pictures may help eliminate
dust particles in the air.
Bright light, rain, dust etc., can produce "orbs" (balls of light) that are not
genuine. Do not smoke during your investigation (it will look very much like
ectoplasm). Hold your breath during cold environments before taking pictures
to eliminate mist from your breath appearing in your photos. Be aware of the
surroundings. Being alert, one should try and remain objective by seeking to
eliminate any natural occurrences that produced your results. Cell phones
and pagers should be turned off as they can distort detection equipment and
compasses as well as digital images and cam corder recordings. If you edit
your photograph in a computer photo program, you may end up with
additional anomalies in your photograph. If you are using film, make sure the
effects in your photo are from the ghost, not a development error.
Look for things hanging in front of your camera while photographing such as
tree limbs, your camera strap, your hat, spider webs, ropes, etc. They will
appear "bright white" like energy when the flash "pops" on them at close
range. You can use compasses to help detect changes in energy fields and
a thermometer to help detect "cold or hot spots." Changes in energy fields as
well as temperature shifts could be pointing to paranormal activity. If one is
sensitive to the spirit, these items are not needed; but do provide additional
confirming evidence as to the haunting.
