Here’s a little bit about my paranormal investigation style.  I’m not a very techie person.  I learned to type before I could write and I knew how to use a computer before I could walk but as I’ve gotten older, my tech experience has become lacking.  Therefore, I’m not a huge fan of going into an investigation with a thousand different gadgets.  I do use them, don’t get me wrong, but I just try not to overly rely on them.  I mostly use a Zoom 360 digital recorder, K2 meters, Ghost (EMF) meters, a laser grid, flashlights and occasionally, full spectrum cameras.  My favorite tool that I use is myself.  As I stated before, I have some psychic abilities but they tend to come and go as they please.  I work with a very talented and diverse group of psychics and mediums and we help each other learn to develop and recognize what we’re experiencing, as psychic.  My particular abilities are empathic which means I can feel the emotions and sometimes physical feelings of others, both living and dead.  I also have a deep understanding and connection with animals.  Sometimes, I can also “hear” spirit’s thoughts or intentions.  The “hearing” is more like a “knowing” as I don’t hear the spirit’s voices with my ears.  Its more like a random thought that doesn’t belong to me, pops into my head.  When investigating, I like to go into the space “blind”, which means I prefer not to know the history of the place or any events that have happened there.  This makes what I pick up more organic and I don’t feel like my knowledge of the place is influencing what I receive or pick up.  When I feel a spirit close by, I’ll start an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) session.  The EVPs help me corroborate what I pick up on my own.  It also helps me remember what questions I’ve asked and information I’ve picked up from spirit.  I tend to blank out during EVP sessions as I try to connect to spirit so it helps to have someone else investigating with me to also ask questions. After investigations, I research the location and look for information that will validate my experiences.  Sometimes, I’ve gotten info that’s blown my mind.

Everyone’s investigation style is different.  If you’re interested in investigating, I suggest you try a lot of different things until you find out what works best for you and what gets the best results.  Just make sure you investigate with integrity and respect.  Spirits were people once too and they deserve some understanding and respect just as living people do.  Yes, there are rude and negative spirits out there, just like there are rude and negative people out there.  Most are just misunderstood and are just trying to get our attention any way that they can.  Look a little deeper before you judge them or jump to any conclusions.  Provoking spirits isn’t necessary, contrary to what some investigators display on TV.  Look at it this way, would you want someone to walk into your home with a bunch of weird gadgets and cameras, take over your space and immediately start yelling at you and calling you a coward if you don’t immediately start doing what they tell you to do?   Probably not, so why do it to spirit?

There are plenty of outlets to find paranormal investigations of your own.  A lot of haunted locations offer tours and even allow over night investigations.  I will be posting about group investigations, how to find them, and what kind of experiences they can be.  Stay tuned for info and tips!
