Ghosthunting Guidelines


1. Never consume alcohol or any controlled substances before or during 
   a ghosthunt. 
2. No smoking. The possibility of smoke being photographed and 
   mistaken for ectoplasm is extremely high. 
3. Always get permission before going on private property at any time  
   or into a cemetery after dark.  Trespassing fines are quite costly.
4. Always consider all possible explanations, scientific or paranormal.
5. Always keep an open mind. Ghosts are drawn to those who believe in 
   them and acknowledge their presence.
6. Try to do background research on the area you plan to investigate.  
   Knowing the history of the area may give you extra insight on 
   specific area's to focus on.
7. Make sure to always remove your camera strap and tie back long 
   hair. Both of these things can get in front of the camera lens and 
   can easily be mistaken as a paranormal anomaly.  Also make sure to 
   keep your fingers out of the way of the lens.
8. Do regular upkeep maintenance on all equipment.  Especially making 
   sure that all equipment is kept clean.
9. Always bring a flashlight.  I personally bring several backup 
   flashlights too. 
10. Always bring extra batteries.
11. Bring a notebook and several pens.  To make notes on time, weather 
    conditions, and any noises you might hear, bugs you see while 
    taking a picture ect.
12. Never ever go alone.  I am a big believer in the fact that there 
    is safety in numbers.  Not to mention it always helps to have a 
    few credible witnesses with you.
13. If you are investigating in cold weather, hold your breath while 
    taking a picture, so it is not mistaken for ectoplasm.
14. Do not take photos in rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, or fog.
15. Never bring or use a ouija board. 
19. I always talk to spirits when I do an investigation.  I tell them 
    who I am, why I am there, and ask them to speak to me.  I 
    sometimes ask their name and if they have any messages.  I also 
    ask them if they would like their picture taken.  You would be 
    amazed at the results you get by doing these few simple things.
20. NEVER try to make a ghost angry to get a response.  I've seen it 
    done and the result was not something you want to deal with, trust 
    me.

*****This may seem obvious to most, but I'm sure there are some who 
     won't think about it.  Boys and girls, if you must relieve 
     yourself while in an investigation. PLEASE do so outside of the 
     cemetery.  I'm sure the cemetery occupants and visitors will 
     appreciate it.*****


Have fun while doing an investigation, but also remain respectful at 
all times.  I have no doubt that spirits see and hear everything that 
we do.
