Protocols 1) All information gathered must have no rational explanation. 2) Never shoot photos in any adverse weather conditions. (Snow, mist, rain or other conditions could cause false orbs.) 3) Never assume that orbs or supercharged energy are truly evidence of paranormal activity. The connection has been established by a commonality of location, but is not scientifically proven. 4) Never assume a site is haunted after a single investigation. No one can be sure of such a thing. Many sites must be worked for months or years in order to get a body of evidence to establish fact. 5) Always do your research on the history of the site, the hauntings reported, and the people involved. 6) If working with psychics, be sure to understand that they are human and can make honest mistakes. They are affected by imagination, other people’s impressions and their own life experiences just like everyone else. 7) Welcome everyone--especially skeptics and the clergy. We have found that far from having skeptics and the clergy “chase away the spirits“, we have had had good luck with them present. We engage in scientific investigation and so we welcome skeptical eyes. We do not broach the subject of religion and so far we have found that the clergy is willing to listen and learn with the rest of our group. 8) Training is vital. Take your members to sites, allow them to work with the equipment until they are comfortable, and then be sure that they are aware of equipment flaws. 9) Never work alone. This way no one will be hurt and any anecdotal evidence will have conformation from a second source. 10) Set up a Central Location where anyone experiencing anything may return. This prevents tainting the other investigators. What good is evidence of a paranormal event if everyone has just heard someone radioing their similar experience to everyone. 11) Do not tell your investigators the history and haunting prior to the investigation. This minimizes imagination. 12) You must remember to always factor in human psychology. Everyone comes with preconceived ideas. If a person believes in ghosts, they will be more willing to accept an incident as paranormal. In the reverse, if they do not, they will rule out obvious haunting activity. We have experienced both. Some folks want their homes to be haunted without any good reason. Remember human nature when investigating a haunting. 13) Always be polite and courteous and never forget to ask a good many questions of both the people telling you their stories and of the ghosts. Perhaps the spirits, if they are there, will answer you. 14) No Ouija board, spirit board or other forms of occult contact with entities. We do not endorse this method because it can open up a home or family to a more violent haunting and we would never want to leave someone in such a situation. Best Tip: When dealing with other people who claim to be investigators or the press, you should always check them out first. Some folks will be media hounds hoping to dramatize your investigation and fabricate information in order to make money from your work. Others are merely looking for cheap thrills and sensationalism at your expense. Your reputation and hard work should be protected at all costs. It was hard to earn a good reputation in the first place, but to regain it is almost impossible. Last Word: Have fun. Be serious about your work, but enjoy the experience. Even if you can prove that a site is not actively haunted, you have learned something and learning is living. Laugh, share and enjoy and be serious when the time comes. But always have fun.
