Completed week one readings and assignments, and have a couple of questions.
Do you think reading/researching about ghosts makes a presence more likely to manifest itself to you, i.e. will spirits sense you are more open to believing in their presence, and reveal, because you’re attuned?
A friend told me she’d seen a documentary that revealed there is a pitch that the human ear can’t hear, but the body can sense or feel, that brings on feelings people associate with a ghostly presence: raises the hair on your arm, makes you feel like you are being watched/not alone. Do you know anything about this?
When on a hunt, how do you cope with fear? I thought the question about, decide how frightened you are willing to be, was a good one. I’m not sure what the answer is; I think emotion (feeling the lingering of sadness or anger from a presence, not my own fear) overwhelms me and my instinct is to get away, fast.

Thoughts?
Thanks, those are good questions, and I’ll probably write some articles about them! Here are some quick replies in the meantime.
I think that ghosts respond to people who are likely to acknowledge them. In my opinion, they can tell when someone’s going to ignore them, and experienced ghosts don’t bother attempting contact. (Or, if they do, it may involve a prank.)
There have been studies in the U.K. indicating that a resonance from underground water (streams, springs, etc.) can affect people. The frequency is outside what most people notice.
People who are affected seem to be predisposed to experiencing ‘paranormal’ phenomena at those locations. The question is, are they simply disoriented and misinterpreting their experiences? Does the disorientation enable people to be more open to paranormal events? Or, in the context of unified field studies, does the frequency unsettle our universe just enough to permit interaction with a parallel world… the one where the ghosts seem to be?
Obviously, there are many unanswered questions. Ghost research is an exciting field that provides many opportunities for speculation.
Regarding fear: When I’m afraid — which is rare — I leave. That’s what I suggest to anyone who is ghost hunting. With experience, your courage will build and you’ll be better able to distinguish between your own fear and the ghosts’, and between startling situations and those where danger is real.
Until you have more experience, it’s better to err on the side of caution. If you feel afraid, leave immediately. Don’t try to rationalize it. Just get away from there.
i live in virginia, and have been in many places, that have made me feel sad or happy. i have taken your classes fiona, and have learned alot off of it. we go around to different places to investigate. i love it!!! don’t get me wrong, i got scared one time, and i did leave, me and two others that heared it. and right fast too! i was told after, that i should have went up the stairs to see what was making the noise. even though all lights were out, and everyone was out of the house, and i “felt” i should get out. i felt like a chicken after that, but also felt like i did the right thing.
