Ghost hunting events can be great fun. They can also be huge disappointments.
The difference can be how well you prepared for the event.
To get the most from a ghost hunting event, plan ahead.
- Know exactly where you’re going,
- What to expect there,
- Who’s speaking and leading investigations or tours and
- The locations where you’re most likely to encounter a ghost. (Research the event site online, and see where others believed ghosts were nearby.)
Also prepare as if you’re going on a trip, even if the event is just across town. Check your clothing, your equipment, your batteries, and so on.
I share my best suggestions in my report and worksheet, Ghost Hunting Events – Getting the Most from Them. That’s a free, three-page PDF you can print and read, at home.

To pre-empt disappointment,i would suggest taking along thermos with coffee and packets of potato chips to go with them.And a flat bottle of 90 ml scotch with salted peanuts and of course a cigarette lighter and matches besides miniature led lights,a pen or coat button video camera and a simple compass.Though i believe that the small bottlette of scotch alone,will suffice to overcome any disappointment.
LOL… if the investigation is that disappointing, I suggest leaving.
However, the small video camera and a simple compass are good ideas. (The rest…? Not so good. Snacks, maybe. Alcohol, no. The lighter or matches might work in a dark maze-like setting if flashlights/torches fail, but otherwise: no.)
Of course i wasn’t being serious,ghost hunting isn’t something to be flippant about.And it’s no picniking in a black sea resort either.i also know your incompatibility with alcohol,i don’t take it either simply because good scotch is quite expensive.
