AN INVESTIGATION
&
TERMINOLOGY
An investigation at it's most basic is standing around waiting for a response from spirit. Unlike
the portrayal on some TV programmes things of the paranormal nature are not always quick to
happen, it can take minutes or hours for us to have some sort of activity and even then it may
well be discounted as normal - not Paranormal.
We have a good social get together at investigations, we love a good laugh and when things
seem literally dead we get talking and then things can kick off, spirit don't like to be ignored! It
is a great night so please do join us.
Everybody is welcome.
Please note we may use other methods of communication than just our Mediums if you do not
wish to participate in any experiment just say so.

There will be plenty of breaks to recuperate flagging energies.

Remember we will be working most of the time in  darkness, It is advisable to bring a
torch ..


We ask you to provide your own refreshments, (hot drinks food), as this keeps the
costs of investigations down.


You are welcome to bring camera's, cam corders etc but be aware the cam corders
need to have night shot mode. Ghost investigation Team are not responsible for any
of your personal affects. You will also need a good supply of batteries.

We will share the G.I.T's  gadgets out amongst the teams, so you can  all take an
active part in the investigation.


Depending on the amount of people present,  we may divide into teams/groups each
will have an experienced investigator with them, and a medium will always be
present at each investigation.
Vigils will be held throughout the evening in different parts of the building, each team
will have radio contact.


Experiments  will be carried out to try and prove that spirit is present, obviously
there is
never a guarantee we will receive any evidence or activity,  but we will do our
best to provide  proof...  I should say  we will ask Spirit to do  their best!



Smoking
will not be allowed within the investigation area, a designated area will be
confirmed on location, we do not want a possible manifestation to turn out to be
smoke .. Very disheartening.



Each investigation will be different so there is no set plan, but we will try to
incorporate a seance & glass swirling  into the evening dependent on time, as well
as the 'normal' connecting to spirit via calling out and using the gifts of our Mediums.


Some terms you may hear.


EVP

Electronic Voice Phenomenon...  A way  of detecting a spirits voice  by using a
recording device.


E.M.F meter,
(Electro-Magnetic field meter)  a device that can pick up electronic and magnetic
fields,it will also detect any distortion within the normal range of electro-magnetic
field.


Orbs.
These are thought to be globe shaped light energies which are said to be spirit. They
can also be dust or Moisture, or even flies and moths! The ones to look twice at
normally have some sort of cell structure within, even faces have clearly shown up.
They often appear at the same time as a medium will be pointing and saying a spirit
is in a particular place,or that they can feel a cold spot. We have caught several in
previous investigations  that have been red, blue and even a green one. The best
ones (in our opinion) are caught on camcorder and can have some very erratic
movements.



Poltergeist.
From the German word... Noisy ghost. This word covers.. Objects that are moved
also phenomena such as lights being turned on or off, banging, thumping by an
unseen force.


Trigger Object.  
An object like a coin or a cross placed on a piece of paper and the outline drawn, set
in a locked off /sealed room, to see if spirit move the object. Also done with talcum
powder/flour to see if fingerprints or footprints are left from spirit.


Residual
The energies left behind of previous occupants, a bit like a tape recording  of the
past recorded into the ground / bricks of the location.




It is very important to realise that the methods below for contacting spirit are
perfectly safe when used with the right protection and a Medium who has
knowledge in these ways , by using these methods & others, you can be inviting any
spirit into our realms...  They say even though we pass over our personalities  
remain the same, if you were an extremely nasty person on this side ,theres a good
chance you might not have changed on the other side.. So please NEVER attempt
any of these ways without  a competent Medium present.




Trance.  
This is when the medium allows a spirit to use their body to aid/pass on
communication, some mediums remember exactly what has happened, where as
others may not remember a thing.
Possession - same as trance with the exception being that the  medium has
not
given permission for the spirit to use their body.


Scrying

The art of staring deeply into a mirror, water, crystal ball in order to see an image that
might appear. These images might be symbolic, or as seems to be in our mediums
cases the image has been that of a spirit who's face seems to transfigure over their's.


Seance,
A group of people sitting in a circle holding hands and using all their energies to
hopefully contact  someone who has passed over. Response from spirit can be
given as knocks and raps for yes and no answers, feelings can be transferred from
spirit.


Glass divination,
A group of people sitting at a table with an upturned glass and the index finger
lightly placed on the glass, asking questions to spirit the response being that spirit
will move the glass.


Ouija board,
A way of communicating with spirit using a board with the alphabet around the
edges and a yes and no and a planchette which you place a finger on.  The spirit will
hopefully spell out with the aid of this board any replies to questions asked by the
group around the table... Like glass divination but with a board and planchette
(pointer).


Table tipping.
Again a group of people around a table calling upon spirit to communicate by
moving the table in response



For these last two you don't need a medium!



Enjoyment/Fun .
Hopefully this to be experienced by all on the investigation.


Break.
Time to chill out and wake up with coffee and food.



These are a few things you might  hear on an investigation, as always when in doubt
please do ask.
The aim is for proof of the Paranormal ... And an Enjoyable evening.
