- Try contacting an organization in your area. Ghost investigating is becoming the new "in" thing and groups are popping up all over the place. To contact out group drop us an e-mail
- When choosing any group, make sure you make the right choice. You want to be with people interested in investigating. This means people who follow protocol and standards and who are not going to immediately pass off every shadow and light as spirit activity. Make sure you're with people who mean business and genuinely care about researching the paranormal.
- Checking the Internet for a group can be easy and quick but make sure you meet somewhere first. A public place is a good starting point. You want to be near other people. Unfortunately, when meeting people you don't know for the first time is not only uncomfortable but you don't know this other person and safety is always an issue.
- Read all you can about ghost hunting.
- Don't be lead into these so-called 'Ghost Hunting Courses' certification programs. There isn't any parapsychology training available in the US that has a good, strong reputation behind it. Pick here to see what we think about certifications
- Always carry identification.
- Always have a cell phone or another manner of communication.
- Spirits are known to use certain scents and smells to get our attention so any noticeable scent you or a team member may be wearing could easily be mistaken for a supernatural occurrence.
- Write every minute detail down, and compare with your co-ghost hunters later
- You can ghost hunt during the day
- Bring plenty of extra batteries for flashlights.
- Bring matches, lighters, glow sticks and candles. Personally I find the shake and break light sticks invaluable and there is no risk of fire.
- Always bring a first aid kit.
