OK....you've seen Bhoot Aya or Haunted Australia and most other Paranormal TV shows on various networks.
You say things to yourself like "I can do that!", "I've got nerves of steel", and "Why are they running away? It's just a ghost!"
Or you have had personal experiences throughout your life that you just can't seem to explain.
First thing's first. What you see on TV is a small piece of what goes into a paranormal investigation. Keep in mind that the network edits the show to fit into an hour and that needs to include commercials. Now we are not saying that TAPS or any other group on TV is not doing a full investigation, it's more that they simply cannot fit everything in the show or else you'll be sitting there watching anywhere from 3-8 hours of people sitting in the dark. Let's face it, that does not make good TV.
A true paranormal investigation takes preparation, hours of investigating, and then even more hours of analysis which could easily yield absolutely nothing. While investigating you must keep an open mind and try not to jump to any conclusions. When something occurs during an investigation, what caused it? You must first test and rule out as many "normal" possibilities first before something can be really labeled as "paranormal". Keeping an open mind and using logic to figure out what could be the cause of reported paranormal activity is the heart of doing paranormal research. With that in mind, about 80% of all reported activity is actually the result of a normal occurrence at the location under investigation.
When first starting out investigating, keep it simple. Do your homework by reading up on the subject as much as possible. How can you know what to expect or how to handle something if you have no idea what's going on? You cannot pick up a guitar and expect to play even the simplest tune unless you know something about how to play!
