Is ghost hunting dangerous?

Yes, ghost hunting has a element of danger but the most common dangers may not be what you think. When we think of ghost hunting dangers the first thing that comes to mind is possession or knifes being wielded by some unseen hands. While in rare circumstances those things might happen but the reality is that the dangers one really need to pay attention to are based m
ore in the physical realm. Personal injury is the most critical thing to try and avoid. Walking around in the dark can be unhealthy for your body, tripping, falling are all real dangers. And then you add spooky factor and you are setting yourself up for failure. Falling can be serious even fatal. The worse injury of my life was due to a fall "not ghost hunting", I just tripped and ended up in the ER and 5 days later getting implants in my ankle. The other thing to keep in mind is the risk of damage to personal property. Your hunting and you knock over a vase only to find it was filled with ashes or originated from the Ming Dynasty. Nothing should be exposed that cant be replaced, this could put one in a bad liability situation. Then there are the mental risks to one self but most importantly the client. Its kinda hard to come to tell a client they are being followed by a evil spirit! You wouldn't want a client suicide on your resume. So I would say if that was the case "based on the evidence and our experience we believe whatever is causing the activity is attached to so and so". Followed by "keep in mind that this is just our opinion based what we found". This is what we would not say "well I'm sorry to tell you this but we believe Emily is being followed by a demon named Baal and your family is in extreme danger". Point being there is hazard in terms of what the investigator tells the client and how its told. I rely on what the evidence tells me the most and what our trusted psychic says. The evidence tells me if there is activity and the psychic directs the activity to a possible cause and resolution. We must have both to come to enough of a conclusion to address the client with any theory. And in the end its just a theory if anyone tells you something for certain then they are not a good investigator.
