I've always been confident that ghost hunters will get the best results when they schedule investigations after dark. I'm not sure if it's like radio stations that can be heard more clearly and over a greater distance without interference from the sun. Whatever the reason, after-dark ghost hunts are usually far more successful than their daytime counterparts. However, daytime ghost hunts aren't always a waste of time. I'm reminded of Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. The haunted/psychic energy builds there each day, starting around 11:30 or noon. If you put your attention--perhaps your 'psychic radar'--on the woods in back of the cemetery, you may sense (or even see) some very odd things, daily. By night, the energy manifests visibly as eerie lights that flicker on and off in those same woods. And then, the energy is gone by dawn. Around noon the next day, the cycle starts all over again. This morning, we were reviewing some early morning photos taken at downtown Houston's La Carafe wine bar at 813 Congress Street. We'll need to spend more time analyzing them, but when a location is profoundly haunted--and La Carafe is--even early morning research can be fruitful. No matter where you are, even if your only research time is during daylight hours, you can still have eerie experiences and record anomalies in photos, EVP, and with other ghost hunting tools.
