Serious with Spooks: Ready for Paranormal Investigation?
If things float in mid-air, shadows appear out of the corner of your eye, and heavy furniture starts moving on its own, who do you call?
The ghost busters, of course!
In less extravagant terms, you would consult paranormal investigators to check your house for haunting and verify if you are truly being subjected to paranormal phenomena. They will do so by using electronic equipment to check for abrupt changes in the energy of your house, which might signal that spirits are present or passing through. They may also try to contact the spirits, conduct research on the past circumstances surrounding your current location, and even interview you on your experiences.
Are you interested in paranormal investigation? Then take note of the following:
?Paranormal activity is usually high in places where violent or sudden deaths may have occurred. These will include, but will not be limited to battlefields, cemeteries, churches, prisons, schools, theaters, and hotels.
?Investigation will require equipment such as a camera, remote thermometers and thermal scanners, gauges to monitor changes in the electromagnetic field, motion detectors, and voice recorders.
?Investigation is potentially dangerous, so you must never do it alone.
If you are about to embark on a paranormal investigation as part of the investigative team, remember the following:
?Keep an open mind ?you are there to investigate and document, not to judge or go on a thrill ride. Some phenomena may actually have a logical explanation, so don't jump to conclusions too easily.
?Do your preliminary research ?before going to a site, read up and investigate everything about it. Take note of the who, what, where, when, and why of the site's history. Take down notes.
?Work as a team ?assign who gets to use what equipment, and standardize any hand signals you may need to use. You must not talk during investigations, as this will affect your recordings. Spirits also often use scents to signal their presence, so all team members must not wear any strong colognes or perfumes.
?Get rid of all negatives ?recruit unstressed team members, as negative energy can influence the team and the spirits.
?Be professional ?handle all investigations with respect. If you are asked to keep the investigation confidential, put the statement down in writing and have it signed by both you and the person or persons requesting the investigation.
Whether you are investigating or conducting the investigation, remember that paranormal investigation is a serious matter. Move forward with caution, and be on your guard.
