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.
Orb's...are they evidence?
If you want my personal opinion I would tell you to throw away all paranormal evidence consisting of Orb's. Orb's are those little white sphere's captured mainly by digital photography, they can come in different colors as well. Why am I so anti Orb ? Well I see them all the time, in fact I have pictures of my living room with excess of 100 Orb's in one frame. Then you take another shot and they appear to have moved or disappear totally. Some explanation is simply dust on or near the lens. So you ask yourself well there is no dust I cant see it. Well dust is everywhere, the best way to see it is with IR cameras, its like we are all swimming in a sea of dust all the time! There could be other causes such as the hardware of the camera maybe software. But before you get all angry with my opinion, I will also add that on video I have seen and captured Orb's that make me go "Huh".....The ones that change direction or just don't look right and seem to have a intelligence to them. So I would say that 95% of Orb's can be thrown out. The others need more in depth review. Remember we base what we do as evidence, I cant go to a client and tell them their house is haunted because of some Orb's, when I know the majority of instances can be related to explainable causes.
There is still the unknown, and I could be wrong but I base my opinions on the experiences I have had.
