Marks camera tips on training 2
Basics of investigation 101
Lets Begin
Lets Begin
First the basics, the equipment you need will vary with the spot your dealing
with , however the root basics stay the same for every location.
1. A good digital camera 5 mega pixels or better. This is your main tool so get
a good one. These cameras can pickup in the infrared range also very handy
at night.
2 A good digital remote temp probe again cheap isn’t best. When spirits are
around doing tricks they need energy so they draw it from the surroundings.
This causes cold spots and you need to record them.
3. A emf meter This is sometimes sold as ghost meters but it’s a simple radio
shack meter that detects electromagnetic fields. These fields are generated
by all kinds of things and anything not grounded
will be particularly bad
4. Pencil and note pad scout your hunt in advance and take notes, record
times and locations of each hit
5. a tape recorder to record evp's small hand held best
There are several different types of “haunts” to consider. First theirs the
haunt caused by energy left behind by strong emotions or actions. The scene
of a murder or on battlefields are often this type of haunting. The ghostly
entity's performing the same task over and over is this type
The second type of haunting is the spirit that doesn’t know there dead or who
has a mission they can’t let go. These poor souls may long for freedom or
may not. Sometimes they can live along side the living if a co-ownership can
be reached. Talk to them, but record the seemingly one way conversation.
There may be a answer on tape when replayed.
The third type is one that has caused trouble for endless time. Called the
unclean, or un naturals the most common name is demons and I recommend
avoiding them unless someones there who knows how to deal with them.
Centering yourself ,saying a little prayer to whoever is in your tradition
all this serves to drive your fear away. These things feed on fear, I’ve know
laugher to send them running. Not a faked laugh but a real belly buster
Now that we’ve stated our tools and identified our target we should talk about
the site. You always should scout your area for conditions that can be
responsible for the haunting being reported .
A person good with people should set down with the folks affected by the
events and get a feel for the situation. This is the most difficult position to fill.
They must be consoler and shoulder to lean on sometimes, the people who
are at the end of there rope and don’t need overtaxed believers or
skeptics.
Our task is to find the truth. Good or bad the truth is the goal, always. All the
gear and work is for nothing if a overzealous researcher believes to much.
Once the sites been scouted and the people interviewed then and only then
can your setup begin.
The trend is to slip into the fantastic , this must be suppressed. We deal with
the supernatural so visions of mythic monsters are a nessicary evil.
That is why TAPS is my kind of researchers, they lean toward thinking a
place is not haunted until the evidence makes this position unrealistic.
Other shows have paranormal researchers sitting in the dark with Ouija
boards and at the first bump in the night they scream and run over each
other in a panic. Thats why pre- planning is so important at least all will
clearly know each other’s position and you will make human trickery much
harder to do to you. There are those who for differing reasons are happy to
supply your ghost for you. So beware all that goes bump isn’t supernatural

P.S This is wayne I've found a site on e-bay that sells color infrared
waterproof TV cameras complete with receivers with s type and rca outputs
This teamed with digital video recorder provides real time evidence on the
spot and great frame to frame analysis . Also its wireless with 300 foot range
I am getting one for Waynesboro team

First lets start with base line studies. Before you can do any investigation
go over entire site with your instruments looking for and recording emf
spikes , cold spots (recording any drafts that maybe causing them) and
anything that may give you a false positive. Beware members of team
smoking while investigation ongoing or doing anything that might corrupt
the evidence
Lets define a few terms
1. E M F - electro-magnetic field Fields around everything that is a energy
source. Readings for the paranormal run between 2.0 and 7.0 any higher
mostly man made
2. E V P Electronic Voice Phenomena Voices hear on tape recordings
not heard at the time of recording, that’s why you should have a list
prepared of questions that pertain to the
haunting.
3. Ectoplasm A word that comes two Greek words ektos and plasma. It
means “exteriorized substance”Mist-like substance that appears in photos
as multiple types of objects
4 Orbs The most common type of spirit energy caught on film. But
beware, dust,moisture and bugs all can cause false positives. That’s why
proper procedure every time is so important
5 Poltergeist A non-human spirit entity said to be malicious and destructive
Also adolescent girls can subconsciously cause similar effects
6. Vortex A anomaly that looks like swirling rods of changing colors and
thicknesses, They are considered portals between dimensions
7. Thermal Scanner Used to detect surface temperature at distance
8. R V P Deceased voices heard over AM radios
