I always remind people that they have more to fear from the living than from the dead. Many haunted locations are isolated or deserted… except for drug dealers and people who seek out such places to have drinking parties. Some are dangerous people. Others are only dangerous when they’re drunk and miss important social cues that they’d observe if they were sober.

During many of my investigations, I’ve been accompanied by someone who’s a third-degree Black Belt in karate. In some cases, his martial arts skills have been very useful.

So, when I read that you’re ten years old and have a team, it concerned me.

While I’d never question someone’s competence based on age, there are safety issues that demand adult presence — preferably two or three adults, or more — on most ghost investigations.

The best way to learn about ghosts and investigations is to read websites such as Hollow Hill, and go on investigations with an experienced team… that includes adults.
