With the popularity of shows such as Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted ghost hunting has become more popular. Even though I don't do investivations, I love to go Graveyard Ghost Hunting. Below are some of my tips on catching ghosts while you tour your local graveyard or where ever it may be.
Ghost Hunting Tips
*Never go alone. It’s bad enough you’d be alone in a graveyard, but hurt. May God help you.
*Ghosts appear on film better when it’s dark.
*Be calm and collective when on a hunt. Ghosts can pick up on your fear.
*If possible, visit the location before nightfall. You don’t want to be tripping over things in the dark.
*Never go alone. Who wants to be alone and hurt in a graveyard at night?
*Bring a cell phone. You never know what will happen.
*Never wear cologne or perfume. Some spirits will try to get your attention with scent.
*If you’re a smoker, please don’t bring your cigarettes. Smoke may be confused with mist, when on film.
*It’s common sense to bring a flashlight unless the city lights illuminate the location.
*Bring your ID. If the police catch you; you may need some proof of who you are.
*Have patience, you can’ t always have a ghost show up.
The Materials
Here is a list of materials I use when traveling from one graveyard to the other. Some popular materials I don’t use are the thermometer, tape recorder and others due to outside conditions.
*Flashlight-This is your best friend when it’s pitch black out.
*Notebook-Well, unless you have a portable book light, it’ll be hard to take notes.
*Cell Phone-What if you trip and get hurt? How are you going to contact anyone when everyone’s under the ground? You’ll definitely need a cell phone.
*Hand Held Radio-Some of these graveyards are huge and when you and your buddies split up, you’re going to need a way to communicate back and forth.
*Camera-Any camera that does well in low light will do. I prefer using a digital camera over anything else since you have an instant picture.
*Camcorder-This isn’t necessary and carrying one around can be more of a bother. No matter what, the camcorder must have night shot or some type of infrared feature to record in the dark.
*Extra batteries-Spirits use energy and for one reason or the other they love to drain your batteries in doing so.
*EMF Detectors-With an Electro Magnetic Field Detector, you track and find energy sources. Fluctuations between 2.0-7.0 usually indicate the presence of a spirit. This is a very important instrument to use.
*Motion Detector-I personally doesn’t recommend using one outdoors. High winds can easily set one off.
*Watch-Do I really need to explain?
