Dealing with clients in their home
Once a potential client has contacted you either by an e-mail sent via your website or by word of mouth, it is at this stage where you can arrange an initial phone call with them to discuss possibilities of what may be happening and asking them to check different things,once this has been done but the activity is still present, a date and time can be set for your first visit with the client.

Waverly Hills – Haunted or Hype?
Waverly Hills – Haunted or Hype?
Submitted by Jim Brown.
Most who have seen any paranormal programs on TV have heard of Waverly Hills. It is purported by some to be the most haunted place in America. It has been investigated by researchers often, many claiming to have experienced all kinds of phenomena there. Almost everyone who visits experiences some form of activity. But do they? On 20 may, 2010 I had my opportunity. This summary of my visit details my experiences at Waverly Hills. But first, a little background on the place.
Investigation Protocol
This is placed as an example!
Hopefully it will assist others in the formation of their group and set up!
Investigation Policy
Research: Research on location performed by researcher(s) information on alleged haunting to be kept quiet from other members.
Ouija: on Investigations there will be No Ouija Boards or other actions open to fraud or micro muscular movement
Alcohol: Scottish Paranormal’s no Alcohol stance will be enforced. Anybody drinking before Investigation Will not be admitted to the investigation. Anybody found drinking alcohol on investigation will be escorted off the investigation.
Lets Talk Tech…
An introduction to some of the better known Ghost Hunting tools of the trade
By, Paul Bradford SPI & GHI
Ok so as a ghost hunter you know that if you want to produce evidence then you’re going to need something to capture that evidence. Yes it’s a general rule of thumb that all you really need is a pen and paper and an open mind, but lets face it if it was that easy to prove the existence of ghosts most of us would go back to collecting stamps or soda caps, For me capturing, or at least attempting to capture evidence is the best part of the hunt. But how do we go about doing that? Being that there is only a handful of tools specifically designed for the use of Ghost Hunting how are you going to know what’s the best tool to use?
So should you take out that second mortgage for the latest thermal imaging camera or can you just spend $30 on a cheap digital camera. Let face it with so many different people telling you need this or you need that it can be somewhat overwhelming as to know what you really need. So heres a good rule for the person starting out:
Infrasound Experiment
Para.Science members conducted groundbreaking research beneath Edinburgh’s haunted streets as part of the 2007 Mary King’s Ghost Fest.
Using specialised equipment designed and manufactured by team co-founder Steve Parsons, unsuspecting members of the public were blasted with Infrasound to test the idea that this powerful but inaudible sound energy might be responsible for some of the ghostly encounters reported inside Mary King’s Close.

A pair of massive 3 metre long sound generators developed from an earlier design by the National Physical Laboratory were used to generate infrasonic frequencies below 20Hz. The system known as ARIA – Acoustic Research Infrasound Array was first used at the “Silent Sound” concert performance held at Liverpool’s historic St. George’s Hall on September 14th , 2006. It has also featured in a Discovery Channel 2 hour long Infrasound special “The Tiger’s Roar” first shown on February 11th 2007.
ARIA is capable of delivering Infrasound as low as 12Hz at an earth-shaking 140dB although for the experiments at Mary King’s Close it was running at much lower sound levels.
The “Human” Aspect of Paranormal Investigations
The “Human” Aspect of Paranormal Investigations
Recently, I attended a spiritual seminar in Cassadaga, Florida. While I’m not what I would consider psychic, I have been told that I am empathic or sensitive to the emotions of those around me…living or dead. While it has taken me quite a long time to understand and accept that possibility, I realize that it does in fact explain quite a lot of things that seem to occur in my life. That, however, will be the subject of another column at a later date.
Conducting Baseline Readings
Conducting Baseline Readings on Investigations – Improved Control Techniques.
By Michael Watson, Co-Founder of Oceanic Ghost Research
At some investigations, baseline measurements are made prior to the commencement of the proceedings. This is where we take readings, using specific instruments such as EMF meters and thermometers, showing initial or ‘normal’ conditions. Why is it important to do this? Well, we need to know what typical readings for a location are before the investigation starts so we can readily differentiate anomalous readings during the investigation.
However, are there problems with this approach?. In the interim, how do we know the baseline readings are typical of that location? They might, by pure chance, happen to be the highest or the lowest readings, for the day. Secondly, if we get notably different readings during the investigation, how do we know these aren’t just part of a natural daily, hourly or irregular, but normal, variation unrelated to paranormal phenomena?
