In this week's lesson, we'll talk about finding haunted places, and how
to evaluate them.
This may be the most challenging lesson in this series. It
may take you more than a week to complete, or even longer. Have
patience! This is a really important series of steps, and mastering
this lesson will make a big difference in your future success as a
ghost hunter.
Baseline... yourself!
Most ghost hunters take baseline readings at haunted sites, before they
do any serious research. It's vital to know if the refrigerator emits
enough measurable EMF to affect readings in the next room. If the old
"instant on" TV holds electrical charge long after it's turned off, you
need to know that. And so on.
However, there's another important baseline reading:
Yourself. Unless you have a good sense of how you normally feel
– and how you feel on the day of the investigation
– it's difficult to tell when something external has affected
you.
For
example: Let's say you've had a difficult week at work. Your
girlfriend, boyfriend or partner has been cranky, and your dog chewed
up your favorite shoes. As a result, you haven't been
sleeping well.
On
Saturday morning, before an investigation, you're woken up when a
neighbor's child accidentally hits a baseball through your kitchen
window. After you get dressed and calm down a little, you have an
argument with the neighbor about who's paying for the damage.
It's
not a good start to the day.
At
an investigation that night, what could happen if you don't take these factors into
consideration?
Well, you could attribute your anxiety to a residual energy
haunting, when the "residual energy" is actually your own.
This is why we always recommend checking your baseline emotional and
psychic "temperature" during a calm, average series of days.
We also suggest double-checking the morning before a ghost hunt, as
well as immediately before the ghost hunt.
