Would be ghost hunters getting schooled.

DAPI’s first class is off to a great start. We have 10 brave soles in the class and everything is going great.  Everyone seems like they are enjoying themselves and hopefully learning something. When we asked the class why they took the course the answers ranged from interest to having experiences of their own.

We had one student who has had 2 personal experiences the night of the investigation. In first incidence she was engulfed in a cold spot. In the second incidence she was standing next to a partition wall in the upstairs girls room bathroom (which always seems to have something paranormal going on) and the wall pushed in toward her. There was no one else in the room with her at the time.

This has also been a great experience for DAPI as well. We’ve met a great group of people who share the driving interest of DAPI, and that is to discover and document paranormal activity.

DAPI was formed out of a like class a few years ago. Hopefully if they have the desire,this class could start it’s own ghost hunting group.

We’ll probably be doing similar classes in the near future so keep checking our web site for information. www.downingtownparanormal.com

A LESSON LEARNED FOR GHOST INVESTIGATORS.
DAPI was contacted to perform an investigation on an area business. The employee’s were experiencing touching, shadows and unusual noises
We were informed earlier in the week that there would be 2 extra guests connected to the business coming to the investigation. When we arrived we found that the word had spread about the investigation and the 2 guest grew to 13 people. That made a total of 21 people. It was very confusing but we managed to get somewhat organized and preformed the investigation. It was a great learning experience for us. It’s always a good thing to remember to limit the amount of people there are on an investigation. When too many inexperienced people get involved it gets noisy. And that could cause problems such as tainted EVP Even people 2 floors away could ruin a night’s EVP work. You have loud talking, laughing, squealing, floor board creaks, and bumps. All kinds of noises that could cast doubt on what the sound is.
One of the things that helps make an investigation successful is the frame of mind of an investigator. You need to be in a positive mood with a clear head. If you have someone at the investigation that has a negative attitude, thinks it’s a joke or just looking to get scared could affect the outcome of the investigation.
Another consideration you have to be aware of is a sprit attaching itself to someone and following them home. It’s always a good practice to say a protection prayer prior to and at the end of an investigation. We as investigators could handle something like that happening but the average person probably could not.
You also have the problem of some of the guest not respecting the client’s property. This will usually come from the same person that thinks the investigation is a joke.
Just remember, keep the number of people to a bare minimum. If you have a lot of people that are interested, invite them to the reveal. It’s much more interesting for them and lets you do your investigation with out distraction.
