Countless ghost hunters and ghost hunting teams make faults in their investigative strategies that they may well not actually know they are doing. Do you make any of these problems?

1. Trespassing.

Always receive authorization ahead of looking into private property. In the past, there was a news story of a ghost hunter that trespassed on private property to investigate a haunted property. The person who resided in the house believed the ghost hunter appeared to be a burglar, pulled out a gun, and shot him. (Fortunately, the ghost hunter was ALL RIGHT.) This is simply not a situation you want to experience, so always get permission just before visiting private homes.

If you are exploring a cemetery, make sure to stick to the cemetery policies. If the cemetery is closed at night, abide by the rules, should you not have received authorization to break them. You don't wish to be fined (or arrested) for breaking the law.

2. Being fearful of ghosts.

There is not any need to be frightened of ghosts. Ghosts can not hurt anyone (with the exception of poltergeists who might possibly toss items at you). Spirits are just folks living in a different dimension, or perhaps on another plane. They have got zero superhuman capabilities (with the possible exception of enhanced telepathy). They can't "curse" you or literally hurt you. For most situations, ghosts won't follow an individual home (unless you intentionally request them to).

Ghosts haunt an area, in particular cemeteries, for a reason. If they could leave, they wouldn't be within the cemetery (or house, or perhaps battlefield) to begin with. Typically, ghosts remain on Earth due to the fact they are struggling with certainty, and also need to change an event in the past. In some other cases, they can have a message to give, or even a modest undertaking to carry out. Other ghosts tend to be sentimentally attached with a particular person or location, and have trouble removing this bond.

It's important to keep in mind spirits don't exist to bring about damage, harm as well as evil. Unfortunately, Hollywood portrays ghosts as dangerous creatures-which will cause individuals to irrationally fear ghosts. You needs to be far more concerned with the real people you might come upon whenever ghost hunting (i.e. a group of deer hunters who don't want you around), than with the ghosts you could possibly come across. An illogical fear of spirits will probably stop you from experiencing awesome things, and figuring out even more about the paranormal.

3. Ghost Hunting Alone.

Never ever ghost hunt alone. Some haunted locations tend to be secluded-so it is best to take precautions. The ideal ghost hunting team is often a team of 3-6 individuals. At the quite bare minimum, be sure to have one other person along with you. What exactly could occur if you fell, twisted an ankle, along with there was no one available to assist you?

4. Checking out the haunted spot while not sharing with an individual where you are going.

Always make sure someone in your own home (or at work) knows where you are headed. In this way, just in case anything happens, any friend is aware of where to locate you. What precisely might possibly take place? I know one particular ghost hunter who was looking into an deserted property, and he fell through a opening on the floors (rotten flooring). Fortunately, he had a team of people with him, and his colleague requested aid. Yet another intelligent idea-bring a cell phone if you happen to need to make contact with anyone.

5. Drinking, tobacco use, or even starting a fire at the ghost hunting site.

A ghost hunt is no spot for cigarettes, alcohol, harmful drugs, or even fire. Cigarette smoke can certainly resemble ghostly apparitions in pictures, and drinking can distort an individual's senses. Furthermore, steer clear of ignited barbeques and open campfires. You do not want to mistakenly set some thing on fire, or allow mischievous ghosts a little something dangerous to play with (flames).

6. Taking photos while looking at sunlight or moon (or at a right angle to the sun or moon).

Stay clear of taking photos whilst looking at sunlight or the moon. Any light source can flare off the digital camera zoom lens and make a false anomaly. A bright or full moon might cause flares as well. For best outcome, try to have light sources lurking behind you when ever snapping a photograph. Always be cautious while taking snap shots indoors. Countless physical objects can reflect off your flash, making orbs or ghostly apparitions. Home windows, TV's, metallic merchandise, decanter or glass, refined furniture, and even lustrous floor coverings can just about all reflect off your own flash.

7. Striking or harmful spirits/ghosts to show up.

By no means dare or even threaten spirits to show up. You might get your wish, and spirits are not always pleasant should you have threatened them. Normally clearly show respect for others all around you - this includes ghosts/spirits, and property owners.

8. Dismissing your intuition as well as gut feelings.

Never neglect your own feelings while ghost hunting. If you believe you need to investigate a specific place, follow your instinct. If you feel angry or even interupted inside of a particular space, there's almost certainly grounds for this. Check out. This does not imply whatever you sense holds true. However, using your own inner direction will let you in a few situations.
