how do i get into paranormal investigating?

Question

how do i get into paranormal investigating?

Answer 1

You can't investigate the paranormal. You can only investigate paranormal claims.



There is probably only one real, professional investigator of paranormal claims in the world - Joe Nickel. See http://www.joenickell.com/ParanormalInvestigator/paranormalinvestigator1.html



The paranormal reality show stuff you see on TV is hogwash.



I hope this helps.

the first step is to abandon any sense of skepticism or rationality that you may be harboring. Go ahead, get rid of logic! It will only stand in your way

Answer 3

i attempt to examine each and every thing from a scientific view, even nevertheless some people do no longer think of there is technology in contact.

The downfall to it relatively is which you won't have the capacity to pay attention the spirit till you overview the techniques hours after the occurence got here approximately. i'm engaged on a pragmatic thank you to place a small postpone contained in the instantaneous playback on the recorder to be certain if i can get a "real time" EVP and in all probability carry a communicate. such as the seven 2nd postpone on stay television. i'm continually looking out for clean detection techniques, as i'm particular some thing greater suitable than EMF meters must be accessible someplace.

You just start investigating. Either join an existing group or start your own or just go by yourself. I disbanded my team and have been going alone for years now.

Answer 5

You can find a group in your area or you can start one. Meetup.com is a good place to start or find ghost hunters.

Buy a cheap camera and a cheap voice recorder and wander around old buildings in the dark gathering evidence of nothing.

Answer 10

Well, it depends on if you want to investigate for thrills and chills or investigate to find out the real answers.



There are you 3 things you can do, 1st you can try and join a group and learn from people who have done it before, 2nd go solo and try to pair up with an experienced solo investigator, 3rd-start your own group(which is the hardest to do, running an organization and ultimately being responsible for everything can be a pain in the keester, but it has its rewards).



Knowledge is POWER, read as much as you can about paranormal investigating/ghost hunting from different approaches and angles, also read physics books on emf fields and electricity/sound waves/different light wavelengths and any related stuff, read up on the human body and its senses, also read psychology and any mental disorder stuff as well, read actual paranormal case studies, check out what the skeptics and disbelievers say about the paranormal-even though they are usually spewing venom it can actually keep you sharp (that's one reason I get on here-LOL) because they do have a lot of valid questions and points-just dont get mired down in the quagmire too much, your gonna need at least 5 pieces of equipment-a emf meter(mel-8704-records temp/em fields and comes in different kinds with different functions or a trifield meter-or both), a camera and camcorder, and a excellent sound recording device(tons of different kinds) and a digital temp gauge or just buy the mel-8704(check out the shadowlands ghost hunting store), and a good multi-colored light flashlight(coleman has a great red/blue/white light flashlight for $29 and spews 110 lumens), just dont get too much equipment, I know taps and ghost adventures has tons of equipment but its totally unnecessary it just bogs you down more equipment doesnt equal better investigations it actually equals HEADACHE plus they have very deep pockets, but the thing you need the most is a sharp mind/awareness and sharp senses, try going to the library and get some books on boosting awareness, dealing with the public etc., lastly you need field experience. Also you can do investigations in the day or night, but night is preferred for various reasons, one of which is that most of us have day jobs. Well I hope this helped, goodluck!!!
