Looking for Halloween ghost hunting tips from a pro?
You’re at the right place. As I’m writing this, it’s Halloween. The last day of October – and the week surrounding it – may be the most active season for ghost hunters and paranormal investigators.
So, friends and I are getting ready for tonight’s research opportunities, but also the challenges that go along with this holiday.
I want your investigations to be successful, too.
These are some of my best Halloween ghost hunting tips.
And here are more Halloween-ish ghost hunting tips, useful all year long.
But, especially if you’re reading this AFTER Halloween, these tips may interest you…
Regardless of when you’re reading this, there are many ways to get the most from your research. So, don’t shrug off these tips, figuring you’ll remember them in October.
Start testing them with your team right now. Then, you’ll be ready to get the most from All Hallows’ Eve, known in some cultures as Samhain (pronounced “SAHH-whenn”). In the northern hemisphere, that was the end of the growing season, when harvest was over or nearly completed. There was a lot of attention on the end of life (crops finishing their annual cycles), which naturally lent itself to a general sense of endings, perhaps death or at least hibernation, and… Well, ghosts.
It’s in those roots (pun intended) that you’ll find the earliest connections between ghosts, spirits, frights, and the last day of October.
Does the resonance of those attitudes and energies improve ghost hunting? Maybe.
Of course, though every time of year provides opportunities for ghost hunters, Halloween is still one of the most popular. The more prepared you are for each investigation, the better your results can be.
Take advantage of the season, and plan for great, spooky encounters and fascinating – perhaps chilling – investigations!
