A Hunting We Will Go...But Where?

One of the most abundant problems in our field is finding a location to investigate. Few researchers have established themselves enough to receive calls from private home owners and thus must locate their own locations.

While this may seem like a complicated task is it rather simple and easy to do if you know where to look. There are many locations out there it is just a matter of finding them. One of the most important things I can say is do not take the route so many other researchers do and disregard stories and folk tales as mere fiction. A great deal of these stories will have basis in fact but have been stretched through the ages. Not all of these stories will be based on truth but a good researcher can quickly decide which to pursue if they use their intuition. Sometimes these stories lead to dead ends but other times they lead to very good evidence and case studies. Folklore can often have precedence and be taken from actual events.

While most people will flock to graveyards in search of ghosts, they may be surprised to find out a majority of graveyards are not haunted. In my work only maybe 1 in 10 have paranormal activity. Below you will find a list of places that have a better chance of being haunted and why that is along with any information that may prove helpful or relevant.

Schools- One of the causes for a haunt is the disbursed emotional energy and a school is full of it. Also some haunts are caused by the emotional attachment to a place and once again schools fill that need as well. A lot of people spend the best years of their life in school and thus they develop that attachment. Most likely haunt= residual

Hospitals / asylums- The same things in a school work in this location as well but also you have to look at other things such as the amount of deaths and such happen here. You may find that people were treated poorly or even abused in these locations and that increases the amount of energy present. Most likely haunt= residual

Theaters- As with the above the same is in affect other than death. A theater is a haven for energy to be dispersed and as a result it is not uncommon for residual haunts to occur. Most likely haunt= residual

Battle Fields- Any time you have a large amount of death in one area the chances for a haunt are increased. Most likely haunt= residual

Cemetery- With the amount of attachment to the physical body some people will return to where that body is and in that event they become attached to the cemetery. Also the thought of portal haunts is heightened here. Most likely haunt= portal

While this is no way the final word on the subject it is a small guide to use to aid you in locating a place. Happy hunting.
