I was recently asked during a tour, “Can a place become haunted without anyone dying there?” I thought about this question for a while before I answered, and my answer was “Yes.” A place can definitely become haunted without anyone dying there.

One of the reasons why this woman was so scared is that we are programmed from birth to fear anything paranormal.

Like most equipment used by paranormal investigators, it wasn’t originally designed for ghost hunting. It was designed for a whole other purpose, and the paranormal community adopted it for use in investigations.

In my opinion, there are many different ways an investigator could engage in provoking. A good gauge during a spirit communication is to think about how you would like to be treated. In your normal day-to-day interactions with people, you want to be treated with courtesy and respect.

During spirit communication, you must be careful, especially during Ouija Board sessions, not to unintentionally invite a spirit to cross ov

The biggest mistake I found during spirit communication sessions is that investigators fail to close their sessions when they are finished. Whenever you initiate a spirit communication session, you open a conduit, portal, pathway, gateway, or whatever you want to call it between our two realms. Failure to properly close your session will leave a dangerous opportunity for something to cross over.
