Hello! Tis the season for some of you fools to go out and bother some peeps on the other side cause….spooky season. I’m not gonna say you shouldn’t, all I ask is you ghost hunt as well as you can. It’s all fun and games until it’s not.
Then your story ends up featured on chills.
Anyway! Tips to have a better ghost hunting experience! Hopefully!
Location Location Location.
I’m sure some of you want to jump headfirst into an abandoned home or in some forest with some stories of spirits there. I… would not recommend it! First off friends, do you have permission to enter an abandoned house? 20 bucks says no. No permission? You can get caught with trespassing just cause it’s not your property! Especially if you go on Halloween or near it. It’s the end of the month and if you’re in good ol US of A, certain enforcement group of the oink oink kind got a quota they’d love to fill and trust me, you’d be just the type of treat they’re into this time of year and month.
Forest wise, bruh do you know where you’re going? How to get in and out? Efficiently and in the dark? Another 20 bucks says no. So don’t bring your asses over there. Besides, if the forest spirits don’t get you, a nocturnal predator just might.
So where can you go? Well, honestly, what’s wrong with your home? The veil is supposedly thin around this time. They literally walk among us around this time. Maybe hang at a cemetery before visiting time is over and pay some respects. Trust me you don’t have to scooby doo it up. Hell, take a vacation on a historical town and get permission to linger around at night and see what you find. I’m pretty sure some places will humor you if you talk to them. Peeps want that haunted attraction money anyway. Every place is different. But honestly, just be safe. Halloween is a scary time for the living and lots of bad people who are still alive are often at work this year too. Be careful.
Tools! (Mystical and Otherwise)
Do I recommend a Luigi Ouija board? No. Not really. Not without people who know how to correctly use it.
And before I get a bunch of, “OH MA GAWWWD!!! IT’S NAWT THAT BIG OF DEEEAL!!!”
Shut up. It is because we make it out to be. And that group panic can make a huge commotion and put you in a stupid position. So no. I would not recommend one. Groupthink is just another way of saying one brain cell in a collective group and its lagging. Pendulums are also a good one to have as well. More control, better for beginners less chaos ensued.
If you’re gonna get the damn board anyway, don’t leave the fucking thing with the planchette on there. Remain calm as you can. Always remember to say goodbye. Three cardinal rules there other than be polite and you won’t fuck up. Hopefully.
Also no. Zozo, BoBo, MoMO or Mojo Jojo does not want your asses. Whoever tries it is most likely a fucking liar. I swear no major demons or wrathful spirits are going to come after you. Calm down.
Automatic writing is a good tool too. You’d be surprised what you’d get with that. Tarot is a good one as well. So long as someone knows how to use them.
DEATH DOES NOT MEAN ANYONE IS GONNA DIE THE TOWER DOES NOT MEAN ANYONE IS GONNA DIE. THE DEVIL DOES NOT MEAN THE DEVIL IS HERE!
Death card= transformation, change
Tower= abrupt change, major karmic lesson coming
Devil= Self-entrapment, bondage (not the dirty kind), illusion keeping you down.
As for the more tech based tools, a good digital camera can work wonders on apparitions.Just mind the flash. You might upset some and they’ll run. If you can get some video recording, make sure they’re fully charged and maybe have some backups to keep going for as long as you can. Spread your cameras well. Of course hit the hot spots for ghosts but try and get some nooks and crannies too. You can catch some lingering ones that way.
Voice recorders I have experienced are a little touch and go, but can get some quality voices. Be patient and give ample time for an intelligent response. When you catch one, its something amazing.
Pro Tip: Mystic and Tech together can breed a lot of weird results. I will say over and over again, Magic and Science chase each other and can cover each other’s backs a lot. Don’t be afraid to use both.
Be as calm as you can. If you panic you’re just gonna unleash a lot of energy and thats fair game to spirits. Especially those who seek to harm. Use the buddy system, keep each other chill even if something scary happens. Keep your cool. Don’t be afraid to take a break and collect yourself.
Communication isn’t just for the ghosts
A non coordinated team is a shitty team. Check on each other, be honest with each other and keep the safety of everyone in mind. Not only should you tell the ghosts what you’re doing regarding offerings and tools (especially tech), but you should make sure everyone knows what they’re doing too. Support is good. Be a supportive team.
Just…don’t be a dick. Seriously, best case scenario if you’re an ass you get nothing. Worst case scenario is they lash out at you and that’s no good. Leave if they tell you to fuck off. And I mean immediately. Say goodbye and turn tail.
Rationalize first, Celebrate Later
Always try to debunk your findings. It sounds counter productive but its not. Not everything is gonna be a sign of activity. Any orb can be a bug. Any cold spot can be a draft, any light can be from another source. Debunk debunk debunk so when you get that one thing you can’t explain, you know you have something special. If you just celebrate every little thing someone will come along and make an ass out of you for assuming you found evidence and that is a hard blow to take. Especially when they’re right and it was obvious.
Even if you don’t believe, some spiritual protection is wise
I’m serious. You never know. Sometimes you need that pentagram, that salt circle, or cross. No salt in dirt! You will ruin the ground. Especially if you’re in a nature based location. No glass burying either please. Be nice to mother earth.
That’s all I got for you. Have a safe and fun hunt. And a safe and fun Halloween~
