Top 10 Signs You Might Need a Paranormal Investigation
By Christina Nelson
Ghost hunting is the process of investigating locations that are reported to be haunted by what are called “Ghosts Apparitions, or Spirits”. Typically, a ghost hunting team will attempt to collect evidence claimed to be supportive of paranormal activity. Ghost hunters often utilize a variety of electronic equipment, such as the following types: the EMF meter; digital thermometer; handheld and static digital video cameras, such as thermographic (or infrared), and night vision; digital audio recorder; and computer equipment.
Usually techniques such as conducting interviews and researching the history of a site are also used. Most ghost hunters refer to themselves as paranormal investigators. While some groups utilize “scientific methods” in their search for the ghosts, no scientific body has been able to confirm the existence of ghosts. Ghost hunting can be classified as a pseudoscience. Some Paranormal groups will also utilize a Medium in the investigations, so the Medium may possibly gain communication with the apparition. This can be very helpful if contact is made, to find out exactly the history behind the haunting. Mediums can also be very helpful crossing spirits over or sending them away.
If you’re looking for a paranormal investigator, we suggest you: Look up an established paranormal investigation organization in your area. The National & International ParaHaunt Paranormal Family Network gives referrals to paranormal investigators throughout the U.S.
Check the background of the paranormal organization or investigator before you retain their services. For example, contact the Better Business Bureau, review any news stories by looking up the organization, review the association/person’s website and contact any former clients for recommendations, or hire a private investigator to double-check the paranormal investigator’s background (after all, you’re inviting a stranger into your home — it’s smart to know who they are first).
Top ten things to look for in ghosts or paranormal activities: 1. Look very closely at photographs from the haunted location for anomalies that might be caught on film. 2. Unexplained shadows in or around the dwelling. 3. Excessive noise such as creaking, growling, faint voices and/or tapping 4. Objects moved from one place to another or misplaced objects 5. Flashes of light or orbs in your sight 6. Wavy distortions in the air. 7. Cold air in areas where it is unexplained 8. Electronics unexplainably shutting off and on 9. Watch for your pets growling and looking at something that is not there. Animals are very sensitive to Spirit. 10. Unusual unexplained smells, such as tobacco, flowers, perfume’s.
