So you want to be a paranormal investigator - Part 1

To become an investigator look inward first and ask yourself. Why do I want to be a paranormal investigator? What do I want to learn from it? Am I doing this just to see a ghost or do I want to learn what's really happening and do I want to help people that need help with the paranormal? We all want to learn more about ghost but we have an opportunity to help people as we get chances to do more study.

The first thing you should do is read everything you can. The internet is loaded with a wealth of information that can enlighten you on all aspects of ghost hunting. Asking a ghost group in your area for advice on what to read or how do they conduct a paranormal investigation, would they show you or let you sit in on a meeting or an investigation. Most groups would not likely allow the latter due to possible evidence contamination. Ask if you can join their group and let them know that you are interested in learning the how to properly do an investigation. When you are with the group, watch them while they are conducting the investigation. Look to see how the team members interact with each other and with the client. Watch to see if the group is organized or not. A group that is all over the place may not be the one you want to be with. A group that respects each other and the location their in says a lot.

No one truly knows what a ghost is, and until we find that irrefutable piece of evidence that no one can argue against we may never know. What we do as investigators is look for that piece of evidence while we help people along the way. Many people think they are experts in this field but we are all always learning and developing as we move forward.
