Before
you start, the most important thing you must know is the difference
between a spirit and a ghost. They most certainly are different
things. Willenhall medium Philip Solomon explains:

"Ghost
and hauntings are very different to spirits. A spirit is a continuation
of your soul that goes on forever.
"But
a ghost is just something that has happened in the past and replays
back in the ether. They are the emotional memories of an ordinary
human being who has died unexpectedly or tragically and are not
aware they have died.
"A
part of their personality carries on in the surroundings where they
lived or died repeating their last actions over and over again.
Like
a tape recorded message if you like."

plugged in or lights going off and on when no-one has touched the
switch.

Moving
objects - jewellery and money disappearing and reappearing or
being moved.

Below
is a very basic kit and handy tips to investigate any ghostly happenings
in your house.
 |
Notepad,
pen and pencil - Vital for making notes of anything that
happens. Note down any sounds or occurrences. |
|
String
or Adhesive
tape
- Used to seal doors and windows that are reported to be self
opening. The evidence of the any openings will be obvious. |
|
Chalk
- use the chalk to mark around objects that are being moved
around on their own i.e. jewellery, around table and chair legs. |
|
Dictaphone
or tape recorder - Useful for researching ghostly sounds
and unexplained voices. Leave on record at all times. |
|
Talcum
powder - Used together with a magnifying glass to investigate
unexplained footsteps. |
|
Camera
or Video Camcorder - Invaluable when investigating ghostly
activities. Try and use one with an infrared lock and built
in flash so can be used in low light. |
Happy
ghost hunting!!!
