IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR GHOST HUNT
SUCCESSFUL, ENJOYABLE AND SAFE
Throughout time people have been interested in the paranormal activity and want to experience the thrill of seeing and hopefully meeting a ghost.
After my 50 years of "seeing" and "talking" to spirits of the dead of all kinds entities it's a myriad of emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually experiences. I like it.
It can be thrilling and spooky, scary and a real treat to talk to ghosts. I've experienced being hit, starched, and pushed. But more than not, just connecting with spirits feels right for me.
Ready to explore ghostly happenings safely and successfully?
Below are some suggestions/guidelines from my book, "How to Talk With Spirits." In June 2021 a movie production is scheduled based on a murder case I worked on with the police.
In the book I go into detail but below hints will get you started.
Chapter 11
GHOST HUNTS
There is something haunting in the light of the moon.
– Joseph Conrad –
.
Begin where there has been reported ghost sighting. Cities and towns often have ghost tours of historical buildings tours and/or information when you can visit.
Spirits, ghosts and other entities can show up anywhere at anytime these places can be exciting to visit: Schools and former sites of schools: Most poltergeist activity is found when younger people live or spend much of their time, like schools.
Murder sites.
Graveyards/Cemeteries especially eerie to visit when dark.
Battlefields––day or night are a great place to find ghosts because of the many, violent deaths, agony and fear that surrounds the area. There will be considerable psychic energy.
Antique stores hold a wealth of psychic information! The objects for sale have a history.
Attitude:
Show no fear. If you have fearful thoughts, don’t go on a ghost hunt. It can attract mean-spirited entities. If you feel fear, stop, breathe, get a grip. If you’re really frightened, leave the area and come back when you have conquered your fear.
Keep an open mind, seek to validate by fact checking afterward.
Keep a cheerful attitude and a positive frame of mind.
Clear your mind, keep your ears open, and trust your intuition.
There’s no need to find ghosts or call on them to come out. They are aware of you and watch you observing.
Have a healthy skepticism. It’s a better attitude for finding evidence.
Ignore any low life, earthbound spirits you come across. Don’t engage. Avoid it. If it bothers you, say loudly and with conviction, “QUIT IT!” or “BE GONE!”
• Best Time for hunting
Although, any time is good for ghostly encounters, but if possible go on a ghost hunt when it’s dark; it’s quieter although I've interacted with spirits and ghosts during the daytime.
• Logistics.
Take a buddy. He or she can hold your hand if a ghost startles you or some mean person confronts you. Or help with camera and recording equipment, or to take notes and be a witness.
Groups: Have everyone meet near the location to go over the plan for the ghost hunt and who'll handle the recording equipment or take notes.
• Practical things to take on your ghost hunt:
Flashlights for nighttime with spare batteries. Spirit activity can drain batteries very fast as well as turn off electrical lights, such as streetlights as evident onThe Haunted Bay investigations.
Good walking shoes. Graveyards and old buildings lend themselves to uneven walks.
A face mask if you’re going into an old building with debris, mold or dirt. On one of my ghost hunts (The Defenestration Building) we were assaulted by flocks of pigeons.
A first aid kit because you may trip in the dark or a nail could be sticking out in an old building.
Identification in case you are questioned by the police or caretaker of the property. In fact when going onto private property, you get permission first.
Since you will be in a dark, spooky place take something to defend yourself, if need be, against muggers, or other living beings who might want to hurt you. Carry mace, pepper spray or a heavy-duty flashlight. Charge your cell phone in case you need to call for help.
• Cameras and Recording Devices
Take a digital recorder to record your reactions to certain areas, and or communication with the spirit or ghost. If you’re extremely lucky, you might catch an audio response of a ghost.
I learned the older mini recorders are the best for capturing ghostly sounds. Wishing I kept mine.
Bring a video and photo camera and/or recording devices if you hope to catch a ghost on camera.
Check batteries and take extras.
Take pictures anywhere and everywhere and examine the results later.
Sometimes you'll see an orb, mist or sparkles in your flash or other’s flashes. Take more pictures right there, you may be near a spirit.
• Common Ghost Sense: Tell the spirits not to follow you home and to remain where they are. Yes, this can and will happen. You don’t need clingy spirits in your home.
