"Ghost Hunting" and such...
I would be so worried I might 'bring something home' with me.
I think of the book and movie "The Entity"
NO THANKS!!!!

I guess it's mostly about self empowerment, though..dealign with that kidn of crap.

The power and force of will to say, "Back off!!" , and mean it in such a way that they know you mean business.

So they do back off.

I've actually been in this kind of situation.

I guess that's why I am leary of it all a bit.

Don't want to seem..'invitational'.

Don't want to send out 'mixed messages' to the forces that be.

I have to admit I've toyed with the idea of purchasing a digital recorder inexpensively and conducting my own EVP sessions but as some have mentioned I'm not so sure I wish to invite malevolence. Also, I think I'm chicken in reality.

I visited the site in the OP, and was a bit disappointed that the only 'ghost' pics were orbs. I really don't trust orbs as they could well be dust or perfectly normal things flitting about in the air.

It is a nice site and I appeciate OP posting it. I never knew that ghost hunting agencies provide ghost tours, much less charge for them. I have heard of ghost tours but as a tourist sort of thing, not conducted by ghost hunters.

Truth is, there is a cemetary dating back to the 1840's literally across the street from my house, but I have never visited it at night - or during the day, no reason to. I've not heard any stories of unusual things from the neigbors who live adajecent to it. I think if I did go trapsing about in it at night some one would call the police!

If you have an mp3 player, it may already have a digital recording feature built into it. Mine does and I've used it with success. My son had been talking about about hearing voices in his room, still does, so I placed my mp3 player in his room and left it in there on several occassions. It worked very well.

Thank you for the suggestion. I do have an MP3 player but it does not have have a recording feature, it can only 'record' audio if I plug it into the computer to download songs. I am mighty tempted to tell the truth.

I really don't know that I trust 'sweeping' as the mind has the ability to matrix or imagine hearing things in response to things said by the investigator. I think some ghost hunters are desperate for findings and as a result grasp at any thing that might resemble 'something'.

I have had a few experiences but only with two departed relatives and less than a handful of others with unknown persons. That is from where my interest stems.

But I know just as there are people who lie in this life, there are those who lie in the other life so I am wary to give in to the temptation.

Still, I am tempted.
