Ghost Hunting after the con

[dixiebell12]

OMG, Qui, Sonia  and I just booked "The Horror Room", on the 10th floor in the Omni Parker Hotel in Boston, for May the 1st!  We plan on stalking the halls all night long with our flash lights, looking for the Bloody Baron, who hopefully will be on holiday and in Boston at that time :)

Go here: http://theghosthunterstore.com/kits.html and check it out. Kits start at $36 US... :)

You don't need any gear *G* Just a flash light and a sense of adventure :) Although I imagine Sonia is ordering a shit load of ghost hunting stuff at the moment *snickers* They put us in the creepiest room in the place, so hopefully we'll get the shit scared out of us.

Hugs,
Dix

Flashlights -no...

You are assuming everything is visual. it is not. You need a recorder, you need vid that can film in the dark. You need UV spectrum gear. You need and emf reader.

Since I am as spirtual and "sensitive" as a brick, I won't feel, sense, hear or see ghosts.

I dont care if you are sensitive as the princess with the fucking pea, if you cannot prove it- it's not real. I believe people psyche themselves up. You have to prove it to the folks who cant see. You have to investigate assuming nothing. I am the debunker. I walk in and look for fakes and set ups. You cant get on drinking if you are doing serious ghost hunting. (or smoking int he room either, which is probably not allowed anyway)

I'd love to be one of those groups that goes to the worlds most haunted places. I would get thrown off the show for finding the fake stuff.

As someone who was part of a paranormal investigation group for 3 months... basic set up for hunting ghosts:

Camcorder that can see in the dark
Camera - preferably film, but digital is good too
(Both of these items are good for recording evidence, but ghosts also drain battery power in the area they are in... as in full battery suddenly drained when entering a room. Leaving the room and batter full power again.)
A thermometer.
Paper, a heavy item, pen - draw around the item, leaving the camera on record to watch the item. Leave the room/hallway... item should move - before leaving the room you're meant to say something along the lines of "if there is anybody here, make your presence known by moving X. Thank you."

So not really specialist equipment.

Basic stuff for uber budget... camera.

Rules - no smoking can happen at all... it will show up on photos and in film... and NO drinking. Otherwise all you'll get is screaming on film. Though you'll have a lot of fun.

I forgot about the thermometer. =)

Yes no drinking- LOL. On film and recorders "where's the damn limes!"

Now, if all folks wanna do is get psyched up and scared, that's easy. =) (and entertaining)

The paper idea is awesome, we're going to have to try that! You never told me you were part of a paranormal investigation! That sounds like so much fun :)

It was a lot of fun, and I've got some awesome video evidence...

How's the editing of the you-know-what video?

[dixiebell12]

Okay, you can't go :) I can just see us now, I'll be like, "did you feel how cold it suddenly got in here", and you would be like "Dix, that's the fucking air conditioner". Then I would see a imprint of a departed soul and you'd be like, "Dix, that's just Qui with a sheet over her head!". You'd just suck the life right out of all my fun. LOLOLOLOLOLO

This is for fun, get drunk, squee alot, and laugh til we piss ourselves. If we see something, it would be awesome, if we didn't, who cares, we'd all be together and that's the best part. You could watch us make total asses of ourselves and make fun of us later, you know you want to go *G*

Just incase we're getting the EMF meter,infrared flashlight, and I already have a nightvision camera/recorder. *hums ghostbusters*

"Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?'"

[droxy]

just promise me no weejee boards..

[dixiebell12]

I will never, never, never touch a weejee board. They scare the shit out of me! I wouldn't even be around one, that's like opening a doorway. *shutters*

[alabastard]

oh indeed it is...

[qui_quae_quod]

Excuse me imprint of a departed soul, you're kinda cute - got a brother?

[dixiebell12]

*snickers madly*

Do you think we'd get thrown out if we go up and down the halls with a sheet over our head?
