Things for
everyone to keep in mind when
investigating ghosts
Most of this is
common sense
a
If it is
raining, snowing or foggy and you are scheduled to do an out
door ghost hunt, reschedule it. You cannot conduct a
proper investigation in these conditions.
a
A
reasonable dose of skepticism is healthy; but, when on an
investigation, you need to temper that with an open mind. You
may find more than you expect to.
a
Be sensible; don’t smoke or use alcohol
or drugs on an investigation.
a
Don’t wear perfume, aftershave, scented
hand lotions or hairspray. Sprits often use scents to get our
attention
a
Make sure to give your itinerary to someone
so, if you are not back at the expected time, someone can come
to get you.
Etiquette for Ghost
Investigators
It is important to note that cemeteries are serious places and have
clear rules of etiquette.
a
If you want to visit private property ask permission first.
a
Many ghosts view “their” cemetery as
home. So remember, you don’t just walk into someone else’s
home without knocking first.
a
Most cemeteries have hours of operations posted. So, don’t
trespass. If you get locked in or get caught trespassing, it’s
your problem and you just might land in jail.
a
Make sure you have ID with you; incase you are questioned; you can
prove that you are who you are.
a
Making jokes, and loud
conversations, even if you are a little nervous, in a cemetery
is inappropriate behavior.
a
Not everyone believes in ghosts. You need
to be considerate and
keep your voices down.
a
Remember people have many reasons to be in
a cemetery. It could be that someone is visiting a grave of a deceased loved one.
Be respectful.
a
If you are taking photos, ask the deceased
first. Your asking will get you further than just snapping away
will.
a
Pay attention to where you are walking and
if you do need to step on a grave, do it carefully.
a
Many cemeteries are very old and the
headstones are fragile. To read inscriptions, bring along a
halogen flashlight.
a
Food and treats don’t belong in a
cemetery, if you want to go on a picnic, go to the park.
a
Don’t move anything in a cemetery and
don’t take things. Ribbons, rocks, leaves, plants and flowers
have been put there for a reason and belong to someone else,
your photos and tapes will be souvenirs enough.
a
You will want to keep a record of your
findings-so make sure to have a notebook and pen or pencils, a
video, digital or 35 mm camera and tape recorder
a
Pets do not belong on a ghost hunt.
a
If you find litter, pick it up and toss it,
it won't hurt to leave the place you visit cleaner than you found
it.
a
Remember that we share this planet with
many things we don’t fully understand, your investigations can
help change that.
