In previous articles I have talked about getting the most out of your graveyard photographs. Now let’s take a more generic look at shooting photographs of the paranormal. These are simple tips to keep in mind and they can mean the difference between gathering authentic paranormal evidence or photographing false and misleading evidence.
Keep all of these things in mind when shooting photographs and you may be surprised at what you find. Plus these tips will give you peace of mind you did everything you could to collect authentic evidence, making you credible when sharing with others.
Follow Behind
If you are taking a ghost tour or conducting a paranormal investigation with a large group, I suggest to follow at the back of the group. Many spirits like to sit back and observe from a distance. They do not like large crowds. My best photographic evidence has come from waiting for the group to go ahead a bit. Remember, spirits are curious and like to see what is going. Shoot quickly, because the ghosts may follow the group, leaving you behind. However, many do not manifest when a large group is present in the area. Also, you do not want to fall too far behind and lose your group.
Attitude is Everything
Always keep a positive attitude when seeking out ghosts. Spirits (in my experience) tend to be attracted to and stay close to those who are more positive. Those who are negative may not attract the spirits you are looking for. Also, negative people tend to attract negative spirits and other unwanted paranormal entities.
Equipment
Check all of your equipment before leaving for the investigation. Check the camera lens for smudges and clean in necessary. Remove any camera straps that can fall into the view of the camera. Check the batteries and pack extras in case of battery drain.
Take Notes
Bring a notepad with you and take notes of everything, including weather conditions, time of day, temperatures, who is with you, noises you hear and who is conducting the investigation with you. This will help you during your evidence review and when analyzing your photographs.
Things to Avoid
Do not smoke when shooting paranormal photographs. The smoke can sometimes be interpreted as false evidence. You also do not want to go alone. This is for your personal safety from both the paranormal and non-paranormal dangers and hazards.
Hopefully these tips help you when going out and photographing ghosts. The number one thing to remember is to have fun and be safe!
