So you want to be a ghost hunter?

The number one most important value of being a successful paranormal investigator is to have a strong passion for what you do. Usually a lifelong interest in the paranormal draws those who desire to find answers to this field. Paranormal Investigation is not just a hobby to those with a serious interest.

 It is important to gain as much knowledge about paranormal investigation as possible. It can be difficult to sift through all the information our there, because there are so many sources, some of which can be very misleading. Always use common sense and good judgment about the evidence you collect during your investigations. It is easy to say that something you don’t understand may seem paranormal but in fact if you do some research you may learn otherwise.  

Of course we all want to find proof of the existence of the paranormal world, but we should do it with a healthy dose of skepticism. It is necessary that we first look for natural explanations that may stem from the particular environment that we are investigating before making conclusions. All in all we are not set out to just to disprove cases of hauntings, we want to get the facts straight first before we can determine our opinion of whether a place is haunted or not.

Never solely rely on what you can see, hear or feel, to determine a case because there is an entire world out there full of wonders that we can not sense with our "human antenna". We are tuned in only to just a few stations of energy with many more beyond our perception.

Professionalism is a must if you want to be taken as a serious paranormal investigator or group. It is ok to enjoy what you do and even have a little fun with it in the right circumstances. But you should take your job as a paranormal investigator as serious as you would any job or career.

Never stop learning, learn as much as you can about things such as geology, science, regional history, genealogy, photography, videography, chemicals, optics, and sound just to name a few. There and many other things can be environmental factors that may simply explain the presence of unusual occurrences.

Being a successful investigator is both fun and hard work, but with determination and passion you can become one more of a growing group of individuals helping to find the little pieces of a great and mysterious puzzle.

Happy Hauntings!
