Interview with REAL Ghost Hunters

We have all had strange things happen to us over the years that we could not explain, so we decided to look into it further, in the hope of getting some answers but there is still so much that we are learning each time we do an investigation.

How do you approach your investigations? Are you seekers looking for proof, skeptics looking to debunk or somewhere in the middle?

In the middle really, we have our sceptics and believers. We always approach an investigation with an open mind, and try not to jump to conclusions.

From what I understand the nature of paranormal investigation is to find proof. Do you extend your investigation to exorcism/blessings if it’s requested or is that an area which you prefer not to get involved?

We prefer not to get involved in that area as we don’t feel comfortable with exorcisms etc, as we are mainly just looking for proof.

Has the popularity of TV shows such as  Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted given credibility to your job as an investigator or do you feel they sensationalise the work you do?

Programs like Most Haunted etc have made what we do more difficult because people expect us to run around like headless chickens and find ghosts everywhere, but that’s not how it goes.

What’s your typical investigation? How long does it last?

Typical investigation lasts around 8 – 9 hours. We hold hold vigils in various areas of the location, and do experiments, we also set up cameras and do EVP work, but..there is a lot of tedious sitting around waiting for something to happen, but its worth it even if we only get one thing happen.

What’s been, to date, the most memorable investigation you’ve been on?

One of the most memorable was at the Ancient Ram Inn (read report in the reports section on our site, it was such a strange night!).

Have you ever been scared on an investigation – and if so share the details!

We have never really been scared, but sometimes you can get quite unnerved by certain ares of a place.

What evidence have you captured so far?

We have numerous fascinating EVPs (Priddy’s Hard scream on audio section of our site, to mention just one), and several interesting videos (ie Sue at Wymering Manor, on our site too).

I noticed you use a lot of electrical equipment. Do you also use non electrical, more mystical means to detect the presence of the supernatural?

Yes we do.   Sue our main sensitive and Victoria are very good at sensing things that turn out to be correct. They also use dowsing rods and pendulums. We always know that something or someone is about as Sue’s nose starts to twitch (as she calls it) and she’s always right.

If so, what’s the more reliable? And do the two corroborate each other?

They can work well together, but the most effective is the sensing because its like using a bloodhound to take you to the correct areas.

Regarding EVPs what’s the best message received to date?

We have not had messages as such, but have have had names said after asking, and answers to our questions. The best one to date is still the scream at Priddy’s Hard Explosion Museum.

If there’s one place you could do an investigation where would it be and why?

We all feel very privileged to have investigated all of the places that we have been to, we would like to do more theatres as they can be very interesting.

What words of advice can you give to reader who would like to get involved in paranormal investigations?
