Introduction to Ghost Hunting
(c)2009 by Fiona Broome, founder of HollowHill.com
When to go ghost hunting
Many haunted sites are haunted day and night. (Gilson Road in Nashua, New Hampshire is.) However, most ghost hunters get the best results at dusk and after dark.
If you're going ghost hunting with an established, organized research group, you'll follow their schedule.
However, if you and a friend or two are exploring a haunted place, arrive shortly before dusk. Then, you can see what's there while there's some daylight. Since the intensity often builds after dark, you can leave when the paranormal energy exceeds your comfort levels.
In summary
In this week's lesson, we've discussed why you might want to go on ghost investigations, what tools you'll need, kinds of
protection on ghost hunts, and a few basics for your first ghost encounter.
In our next lesson, I'll share some tips for finding haunted places, and ways to tell which ones are worth investigating.
Recommended homework
These steps are optional, but they'll help you get the most from your upcoming ghost hunts.
1.Begin a diary or journal about your ghost research. It can be any blank journal, a composition book, or notebook paper.
To start, write about your interest in ghosts and haunted places. Why are you ghost hunting? Are your interests scientific or spiritual? If they're partly (or entirely) spiritual, do you feel that you are psychic or have related spiritual gifts?
2. Choose a small item that's a spiritual talisman, good luck charm, or represents spiritual protection (or comfort) for you. Start carrying it daily in your pocket, purse or backpack.
3. Ask a few close friends if they're interested in ghost hunting. Think about two or three people who might be ideal companions on your investigations.
4. Read how-to articles at HollowHill.com and other ghost hunting websites. Take notes in your journal. Ask us at least one thoughtful question, at a HollowHill.com article. Or, you can use our HollowHill.com Contact form. (It's at the top of most pages at our website.)
