Some Basic Beginners Ghost Hunting Tips To Follow

By Rebekah Alford


When it comes to finding ghosts, it is impossible to give out any hard and fast rules. The phenomenon of ghostly activity has, as yet, few binding scientific rules as to how to investigate supernatural occurrences. If you are considering going out investigating though, there are some basic ghost hunting tips it is wise to follow.

First of all, as you tend to be going out night looking for spooks, it is best to do it in pairs or small groups. This is for safety's sake as much as anything else. While it is impossible as yet to say whether or not ghosts are the spirits of the dead, manifesting themselves on earth, it is possible to say that there are some very real humans who might be out to hurt you when it is dark.

As investigators into this kind of phenomenon tend to be out and about at night, it pays to carry a torch. This might seem obvious, but it is surprising how many people forget this basic piece of equipment. It is also worth remembering to take spare batteries, and possibly a spare torch as well.

In order to record any of the scientific observations that you make, you will also need to be able to make notes. Never rely on technology for this, as batteries run down and equipment malfunctions. Instead, take a small notebook and several pencils, as pencils can be sharpened and do not run out ink.

You will need some kind of technological equipment in order to capture any images and sounds which may occur during your expedition. While mobile phones now incorporate many recording features into their designs as standard, it is wise not to relay entirely on them. Take proper cameras and something that will record a good quality of sound.

It helps with this kind of activity to be accompanied by people who have done it before and know what they are doing. That way, you are more likely to be purposeful in your search, and perhaps be fortunate enough to generate some data, rather than wasting time looking in the wrong places or for the wrong things. It is also more fun to be properly organized rather than wandering around aimlessly in the dark somewhere.

As you tend to be out and about in the dark, conditions can be cold and the ground can be uneven. Clothing is therefore very important. Wear sensible, warm clothes which will also keep you dry in case of west weather, and shoes such as trainers which have grip and can provide some stability on the ground in the dark.

If you follow some of these basic ghost hunting tips then you should at least be properly equipped for anything which might occur. As a way of starting out, these are useful pointers which will help keep you relaxed and enjoying yourself. Enjoyment really is the key to any activity, so if you want to take it to the next level, join a local club or society.
