Don't try this at home.....

I have heard of three instances of this lately, so I am going to mention it. Three is the magic number. So here we go....

When you are interested in the paranormal, there are so many outlets to satisfy that interest. It used to be (when I was a kid) that there was very little information available, and very little proof. There were plenty of faked photos, which were so obvious that they are hysterically funny today.

Now we have all kinds of information, electronic devices and ways to check and see if information is real or faked. There is so much REAL out there, I don't know why anyone would fake it, but people do.

That being said, something you DON'T want to do is to experiment in your own home. This is a HUGE mistake. There are many lost souls out there and inviting them into your home is a bad idea. "What?" you say..."invite"? Yes, Spirits know no boundaries like we do, they also know no time (a man made "reality"). They travel between dimensions like you walk out your open front door.

When you have spirits in your home (and everyone does), they are usually content to go about their business and have their happy little existence, you never know they are there. Then there are the troubled spirits. They may not know they are dead and wonder why you are in their house. They may be afraid to cross over; they may not want to cross over; they may cross and go back every day, week, on month. They may like messing with you. They may have been pranksters, insane, or outright mean in life and they continue in death.

Having a group investigate is fine, you may find some answers and get them to go on their way. There may also be other things there that you REALLY don't want to mess with. You may also not be equipped to mess with them, and make more trouble than you can handle.

When you entertain "ghosts" everyday, by talking to them, recording them, filming them, taking pictures of them, you create little attention hogs. They have gone unnoticed for years, or maybe even decades, and now here you are! When the haunted place is a place where no one has to live, sleep and exist , that is fine, but in your own home, well they can pretty much take over. The energy you give them makes them stronger, and the need for attention can become like that or a cranky two year old. When you go to leave the house the car keys may be missing, or the door stuck. It isn't worth it.

NEVER do a series of investigations yourself in your home. Try not to do any at all yourself. It is better if outside people come in and then leave, this way, the ones who gave attention are gone when it gets dark and it is time to sleep.

There are documented cases of people doing EVP work daily and then wondering how they ended up with 30 spirits in their home. Word gets out! It is like hanging out a sign "open for business" . You become the ghost internet cafe! Then they get stronger, braver, and you have a mess on your hands.

There is no reason to delve into the unknown in your home. None. When you have a haunting and need help, call in the experts.They won't charge you, and they will help.

Meanwhile, if you want to be a ghost hunter, there are MANY avenues for doing so. There is a fee for the places that allow you to come in and investigate, but there is also the guarantee that they won't then wake you up each night to chat. They are a much better way of investigating.

Enjoy, but keep the ghost investigations to places like Waverly Hills.
