Dear Ghostvillagers,
It's Ghost Hunting Equipment Month here at Ghostvillage.com. Between now and the next newsletter we're going to explore the equipment, the methods, and the people who search for ghosts and spirits.
When people have asked me what piece of equipment is most critical to this pursuit, I've often answered, "breath mints." You laugh, but I mean it. I find that we speak to the living a lot more often than we do the dead, and it's critical to make a good impression on those we communicate with during an investigation. We're trying to establish our own credibility and present ourselves as professionals every time we go on a case.
There is very little agreement on what methods and techniques work best for ghost investigating, which certainly reflects the diversity of the ghost hunters. Some employ very esoteric means such as psychics, Ouija boards, or other channeling devices in order to establish whether there is a haunting or not; while other investigators would never dream of using anything that isn't scientifically based -- they may use EMF meters, thermometers, infrared photography, and other environmental measuring equipment to establish whether ghosts are present. Still, there are others who incorporate both the spiritual and the scientific. At Ghostvillage.com, we applaud them all because paranormal investigators of all backgrounds are asking big questions and delving into the unexplained in an effort to shine some light down a seemingly dark tunnel.
Ghost investigators can't be stereotyped -- they come from all backgrounds, are varied in age from very young to the elderly, and live all over the world. Some do this work as a full-time pursuit, while other people are content with being a supernatural tourist and taking in the occasional ghost tour during family vacations. Whatever level of interest you have, this month we want to explore how we can all come to understand the supernatural a little better. Have an opinion on orbs? Want to get more serious about your own study of spirits? Let us know. Post in the
message board of the month or
submit an
article.

Supernaturally yours,
