Preparation
Research: Study the history of the location you plan to investigate. Look for reports of paranormal activity, local legends, and historical events.
Permission: Obtain permission to enter private properties. Ensure you have legal access to all areas you plan to investigate.
Team: Assemble a team with a variety of skills, including technical, investigative, and historical research.
Investigation
Safety First: Ensure everyone in the team knows the layout of the location, emergency exits, and first aid procedures.
Baseline Readings: Take initial readings of the environment's normal EMF levels, temperature, and audio levels to identify any anomalies later.
Documentation: Document everything meticulously. Use notebooks, cameras, and audio recorders to capture evidence.
Quiet and Stillness: Maintain a quiet and still environment to reduce false positives. Avoid whispering, as it can be mistaken for EVPs.
Communication Attempts: Use techniques like asking questions and requesting responses from spirits. Record these sessions for later review.
Trigger Objects: Place objects in the environment and document their positions. Check for any movement or interaction during the investigation.
Respect: Always be respectful to the spirits and the location. Avoid provocation and maintain a professional demeanor.
Analysis
Review Evidence: Carefully review all audio, video, and photographic evidence. Look for anomalies, EVPs, and any unexplained phenomena.
Debunking: Try to explain any findings with logical and scientific reasoning. Eliminate all possible natural explanations before concluding a paranormal origin.
Report: Compile a detailed report of your findings, including documented evidence and personal observations. Share this with your team and any interested parties.
