20 best tips on ghost hunting, Ghost hunting tips

1. Never go alone to hunt a ghost. Take along a partner, a friend or a few people for safety and peace of mind.
2. Do not forget to say a prayer of protection before and after a ghost hunt. This would stop those darned ghosts following you home.
3. Make sure all your equipments are fully charged and that you have a few extra batteries with you. Ghosts have the ability to exhaust fully charged instruments.
4. Do not walk into an area snapping pictures right off the bat. Give those ghosts that are present some time to get used to you.
5. Be aware of the surroundings for the sake of safety. For best results, always take a walk in daylight before doing a nighttime investigation. The other option would be to show up just before dark (dusk) and have a look around before starting.
6. As a ghost hunter you must do an investigation before you ghost hunt with the best of feelings for those ghosts that might be present. In other words, full respect for the living and the dead.
7. Above all - NO HORSE PLAY! A serious and conscientious ghost hunter gets results.
8. Large groups should split up into smaller groups of four individuals or less per team.
9. If you are scientifically minded take along a notebook to record significant occurrences. Begin by logging in the starting time and weather conditions etc. Also make note of surrounding lights so as to not bewilder them with irregularity later on in the pictures. Record all meter anomalies, strange sounds, sightings and feeling or emotions. Each group should take their own notes and compare afterwards.
10. Do not show fear or get scared. A gracious ghost will not come around if they sense you are fearful. Yet your fear can have a mischievous ghost feeding on that fear.
11. Always remember, you are the one with the body, and you are the one with the power. Don't give up your power to them through fear.
12. Keep in mind that a lot of the places you will be investigating will be isolated. Because of this you should always bring along some form of defense. I suggest pepper spray or a stun gun. This will also protect you from bad people as well as bad ghosts.
13. If you are planning to take pictures, be sure and read a lot about Ghost photography.
14. If you feel that some unknown forces wants you out of there then by all means get out! You should never go against these feelings or you could end up messing up.
15. Never dare an invisible presence to make itself known to you. However, it is wiser to ask those present if you can take their picture or record their voice.
16. Make sure you have authorization before entering a private property such as a cemetery or an abandoned house. This can be alluring for a ghost hunter but just remember this though, when you are caught niggling around it makes the ghost hunting community as a whole look bad. You can also be fined or jailed.
17. Use EMF meters. These can be quite helpful in locating ghostly presences.
18. Ghost voices are referred to as EVP (electronic voice phenomena). Take along an audio recorder and as you are recording ask questions to those invisible beings that might be in the area. Pause for an answer. It's also a good idea to ask some questions and then leave the device recording in a remote location for around 20 minutes or so. When you come back you might have your replies!
19. Make a check list of the equipments you need to carry.
20. End a ghost hunt or investigation by evoking the power of God as a protection. "All unseen presences must remain here in the name of God".
