1. Let them (ghosts & spirits) know they
are not forgotten. Let your journey in this field of study be a labor of
love. Remember to be respectful of
ghosts & sprits, as they were once living, & still are in a way for
that matter.
2. Never tease, threaten or dare an unseen
entity. First of all, we want to be taken seriously. Secondly, we are
Paranormal Investigators, not bullies. Lastly, we certainly don't want any
vindictive entities following us home or worse yet, attacking & hurting us.
3. Conduct yourself as a professional at all
times. We always want to present
ourselves as one in control & that of course means around other
investigators, victims of a haunting, & even to the ghosts themselves.
Self-confidence & control will radiate like a beacon of light & thus
serve as a shield of protection.
4. Never seek out entities on your own A team of two works well & three is the
ideal number. Larger groups will need to break up into smaller groups.
5. Addicting habits can be contradictory to
your ghostly pursuits. Examples would be heavy addictions to drugs, alcohol,
cigarettes, etc. These things in excess make you vulnerable & susceptible
to attack. The attack stems from the entities attraction to your addictions
& also because of your weakness. Mind altering substances are particularly
enticing to them.
6. Pay attention to your dreams. Entities will
use this relaxed state of mind & body to try & influence or torment
it's targeted victim. Use whatever wording is necessary (according to your own
spiritual beliefs) to command such an intrusion to cease. Command it in the
Holy name of your God or Higher Power.
7. Use religious relics & symbols as a
protection, but only use these if you believe in what they can do. It's not the
item itself that has the power, it's what it symbolizes according to your
faith.
That's
what actually gives it its power.
8. Listen to your instincts & your
intuition. Draw from the power within. You will find this to be your greatest
resource.
9. Never leave a team member behind, not ever.
Commit yourself to the task at hand until it's done. A combined effort makes
the team an intricate working structure.
10. Always consider all aspects of a haunting.
Go into an investigation with a kind heart & gracious attitude. But know
that most hauntings can be explained; i.e. house settling, furnace noises etc.
As sad as it is, you must also consider the mental & emotional state of the
victim as well. Paranoia, delusional aspects & mental illness in general
may be a consideration. As a final note; it should also be stated however, that
in some cases, an unstable person can actually be open to these types of
attacks.
11. Always remember, you are the one in control.
You have the body & thus you have the power. It's really simple, you are in
your element. This is your dimension & your reality. Unseen entities are
intruders into your space. That is, unless, they are invited in or find a way
in through your weaknesses. Be strong by curving appetites & living a
productive & wholesome life.
12. Be familiar with all aspects of the
supernatural. Know well the entities you
pursue, understand them & the things of their world. Knowledge is power.
The more you know, the more confident you become. Be careful though, not all
knowledge is good. Acquire it with a scientific standpoint.
13. Your best protection is in the life you
lead. If you are active in ghostly
pursuits then evil will cross your path, so be armed. If you are religious,
then live your religion. But whether you are or not, your best protection is to
live so as to put others first. Good deeds & a love for all life is your
greatest protection.
14. Don't be afraid to experiment. Not everything you try will work. If one
attempt or theory fails, keep trying. Simply move on to the next thing on your
list & by all means, have a list.
15. Do your homework. Consider all aspects of an investigation
before you go. A preliminary walk through ahead of time is advised. Doing a
history check is helpful as well. Anything you can find out ahead of time will
be to your advantage.
16. Never be without outside contact. Make sure others outside your team are aware
of where you are when on an investigation. A cell phone is a must, whenever
possible.
17. Demonic Possession. It's extremely rare that you will ever hear
of a full-fledged demonic possession. But it is something that all ghost
hunters need to be aware of & briefed on. Full possession requires an "invitation"
in order to gain a foothold. However, there are activities that can be
construed as an invitation. i.e. Ouija boards, séances, etc. A person with
heavy
addictions,
depression or someone who is desperately lonely are more apt to be targets.
When any type of invitation is construed, whether implied or direct, it may
very well be acted upon by such evil entities. Even with all that, it's still
rare that evil will triumph successfully, but it is possible in some cases.
Ghost hunters are somewhat susceptible because of the nature of their work.
18. Lower Level Entities. There are other less severe life forms that
we need to be aware of as well. They are evil & are here to weaken the
population through their influence. Their ultimate goal is to distract us from
our life duties & make us as unproductive as possible. These creatures are
subtle but very much determined. People that allow themselves to be heavily
influenced
in this direction are also more prone to demonic possession.
19. Be scientifically minded. Strive to prove the existence of ghosts &
the afterlife. We as Paranormal Investigators cannot simply rely on the word of
someone with a particular gift. We need to know for ourselves & we need to
document it in our studies.
20. Rely on your senses. Be ever mindful of your own awareness. We are
all born with the gift of inspiration. We also have a bell (so to speak) that
sounds off when we are in danger. It's a gift that needs to be focused on.
Constantly pay attention to this special ability that we all have. Especially
when on an investigation. As you become more aware & in tune, you will be
able to
better
sense ghosts & other types of entities.
21. Evidence is everything. We have to show our hard word as the evidence
we collect. So take notes, write up reports, snap pictures, collect EVP’s. Keep
a log.
22. Be aware that theories change. If there's
anything we can depend on, it's change. What we may know about ghosts today may
change tomorrow. We need to embrace credible evidence & use that knowledge
to our advantage. So be willing to let go of old theories when need be. If we
don't, we will be left behind.
23. Expect Results. Go into every assignment with an attitude of
well defined purpose. Go knowing you have your preliminary research accomplished
before & then have a plan to make it all come together. A good investigator
is organized and thorough. The right attitude yields results!
24. It's okay to be afraid. That is, as long as it doesn't seriously
effect the investigation or make you especially vulnerable. Excessive fear will make you ineffective as a
contributing team member & will make you a target for entities. Excessive
fear or anger feeds and empowers certain types of entities. Enjoy the thrill of
the chase & scream if you must. But everything in
moderation.
25. Ghosts cannot hurt you. They can scare you into hurting yourself
however. Energies & spirits above
the "ghost" class however can hurt you mentally & physically. Watch out for yourself & those around you
who may inadvertently put themselves or others in harm.
26. Know standard terminology used by Paranormal
Investigators. The more you know, the
better prepared you are to instill that confidence in those around you. To be
professional, courteous, & understanding shows you take your role as a
Paranormal Investigator seriously & are ready for the responsibilities that
come with any investigation.
