There are a lot of common sense resources out there for new and wanna-be ghost hunters. If you do need a book, we recommend this one. Not because Troy is our friend, but it’s because it’s a common sense guidebook minus the chapters where it’s encourage for teams to market and gimmick themselves out. Click here for Troys Guide
I did a quick search on the internet and typed in “Ghost Hunting Rules”… what did I get? A lot of links stepping up to offer their two cents when it comes to “rules”. Well, I clicked the first link and since it’s handy, their rules will be broken down. So, we are not picking on this team in Ohio G.H.O.S.T (Ghost Hunters Ohio Search Team), they were just the first on the list. So, no offense and no copyright infringement suggested. To read their full list of rules... click here!
We just picked out a handful.
- # Never go ghost hunting alone.
(No, never go alone because we all know that ghosts only appear when there are groups of people together, carrying gadgets and sporting matching t-shirts)
- # Always let someone know where you will be.
(Why? you are with about 20 people, will you all die at once or do you think at least one of you will get-a-way alive?)
(Don’t most people carry ID with them anyway?)
- # If you feel uncomfortable, leave!
(If you are uncomfortable, why the hell are you hunting ghosts in the first place? If a place freaks you out that much you may want to find another hobby, one less spooky. Maybe padded room testing? Isn’t that why you are there!!!!!!!!!!!)
- # Reschedule your ghost hunt if it is going to snow, rain, or if it is foggy. Also check the pollen count. Moisture and pollen can cause anomalies in photos.
(Yeah, because we all know that ghosts only show up when it’s a crisp 71 degrees outside, clear skies with no chance of moisture. Why not just adapt to the climate instead of thinking raindrops are ghosts. You knew it was raining, did the rain make you even more stupid?)
- # If you have a large group break up into pairs or smaller groups.
(Groups, the key to witnessing paranormal activity?)
- # Carry walkie talkies or cell phones. You never know when you might need them.
(because we all know that walkie talkies and cell phones do not have an effect on cheesy K2 meters and other electronic gadgets. But by God, POLLEN DOES!!!!!)
- # Don’t use drugs or alcohol before or during an investigation or hunt.
(what if you are investigating a bar and the only people that see the dead crack head strippers are those that are drunk, smoking a cig. What about allergy medicine or Dayquil? What if your team leader is GUANO-CRAZY, you want them to take their drugs don’t ya? )
- # Don’t smoke near where you will be investigating. Make a designated spot for smoking. You don’t want to photograph smoke and think it is an ecto mist or spirit.
(What about just making sure people don’t take any photos in the area where people are smoking? Better yet, why just eliminate “ghost photography” all together if you are that stupid to understand that “ectoplasm” is not proven to be real or it looks just like cig smoke?)
- # When trying to record evps never whisper. Talk in a normal voice. You won’t scare the ghosts if you talk. And you don’t want to mistake a human whisper for a spirit.
(Scare ghosts? we do agree with the whispering thing, but scare ghosts? Are they poor little creatures that need to be petted and spoon fed, don’t you want to scare the ghosts?)
- # Have extra batteries and make sure all equipment is fully charged.
(Because ghosts drain batteries right? The possibility of people leaving their cameras on for hours at a time has nothing to do with it, right?)
- # Wear a watch so you can note times of events.
(Because there will be events and the time on your cell phone is not good enough)
- # Wear clothing suited for the weather and always wear comfortable shoes.
(Who wears uncomfortable shoes on purpose? How rebellious!)
- # Don’t wear jackets with strings. The strings could get in the way when taking photos and be mistaken for something paranormal, especially if you are shooting downward.
(Keep the strings tucked in your jacket, for better tugging at a later time. Also, if you don’t know the difference between a string from a jacket and a ghost, you shouldn’t be holding a camera in your hands, EVER!)
- # Don’t wear perfume or cologne while ghost hunting. If using an insect repellent make sure it is unscented. Some have noticed scents or smells when there is reported ghost activity. Perfumes may mask these scents.
(Let’s all stink for Gods sake! why is it so difficult to smell Suzy and realize that it’s not her that smells like a burnt hard boiled egg?)

Yeah, it's not cold outside or anything and I promise everyone was holding their breath!
- # Be aware of the temperature when photographing outdoors or in an unheated building. Hold your breath while taking a photo and for several seconds afterward. Remember, if you can see it so can the camera.
(WTF! if you are aware of the possibility of photographing your own breath, why are you taking photos anyway? If it’s that damn cold, just do away with that part because it’s so fucking difficult to tell the difference between breath and mist. OMG!)
- #Be objective of your findings. Rule out any natural causes that may have caused anomalies such as insects, lights in the distance, spider webs, reflections.
(Why not rule out the fact that you have some idiots on your team?)
Seriously, these are the rules. Common sense has been thrown out of the window these days. We won’t get into the whole gimmick factor of ghost hunting, but eventually we will. We will start from the basics. Like these “rules”. We say fuck the rules. Don’t break any laws and be mindful of others. Test and experiment away and do it again. Don’t stink and turn off your freaking camera flash! Don’t whisper and don’t treat ghosts as they are an invalid or more stupid than your fellow ghost hunters. Be normal, smile and stop trying so hard. Do something that makes sense and let skeptics help you. EVERYONE in the world would love to know for a fact that there is truly, life after death! Make it happen!

I gotta New Attitude?
December 19th, 2010
No, we do not. We just are no longer playing with people anymore. We have bigger and better things taking place in our lives and this defunct paranormal community is not going to stop us. We have a new attitude but we still stick to our guns when it comes to our beliefs and opinions. We are not sell outs and we will never compromise our beliefs to get along with someone. We still think there are a lot of douche-bags out there that people are giving way too much attention too and we will never sell out and be “Friends” with people that have already proven themselves to be less than responsible. We really don’t care about those that are trying to climb their way to the top of this imaginary career but if that’s all they have going for them in life, we have to feel kind of bad for them.
We hope everyone starts off their New Year with a New attitude. A new goal and the drive to make it happen! We hope everyone finds their knack in society and they are able to become everything they claim to be or desire to be. We hope you make new friends or redevelop relationships with the old ones that possibly you have put on the back burner because of the “paranormal”.
Here is a nice quote that has really hit home lately.
A true friend will stab you in the front- Oscar Wilde
Know who your true friends are and never replace them with people or characters that will feed your ego. We are blessed and we do wish that for everyone this new year.
