10 things you need to know BEFORE going on a Ghost Tour

Are you thinking about going on a Ghost Tour this summer holidays? If you are, these are the things that Daniel Phillips, the founder of SydneyGhostTour.Com suggests you need to be aware of before you hang out with the “things that go bump in the night…”

1. Don’t drink or do drugs: “You will be walking around in the dark, and can hurt yourself, if you are intoxicated. Mediums and Psychics also strongly recommend that before putting yourself in contact with ghosts, do not put chemicals in your body that affect your health. It could give unwanted paranormal energies an invitation…”



2. Know what you are looking for, and tell your guide. “Are you there to be frightened silly, to have a good laugh – or are you a history buff? A good ghost tour has elements of all three in different measures. Ask the tour operator before you make a booking what their specialty is, and when you arrive, let the guide know what you expect. A good guide will know their stuff so well, that they will tend to tailor how they present the tour accordingly”



3. Choose who you go with carefully. “Ghost tours are events people are either really positive about, or have negative pre-conceived ideas about. Bottom line- you are going out to have fun. If someone in your social group is really not keen to come along, or has a very negative opinion about this kind of tour – leave them at home. A silently hostile skeptic, or a loud obnoxious one, will make your night miserable, and affect the enjoyment of the rest of the tour group.”

4. Patience. “Looking for Ghosts is a lot like fishing. On some ghost tours, you'll find paranormal activity. On others, you won't. Sometimes what you thought was paranormal can be explained by natural causes. Treat it as an entertainment activity – and if something freaky happens, it is a bonus!”

5. Plenty of flashlights. “Always bring plenty of flashlights, along with extra batteries. Be Safe!”


6. If you are serious – bring an EMF Meter (Electromagnetic Field Meter). “An EMF meter measures electromagnetic radiation, and can be a very useful tool. Usually, areas of paranormal activity produce strong magnetic fields, and have high EMF readings. Be careful, though. EMF meters can produce false positives. Power lines, appliances, mobile phones, and fuse boxes, can give off strong EMF readings – so check first. One strong indication of ghosts is EMF's that move. (The background EMF needs to remain constant in order to locate such fields.) Usually, these EMF's will either move away from you, or follow you.”



7. Wear good walking shoes and warm, comfortable clothing. “Walking around haunted places, and cemeteries at night, can and does get cold..”



8. A camera – “Bring either a digital camera or a 35 mm camera. If you use a 35 mm camera, bring several fresh rolls of high-speed film. For best results, use 400 speed film or higher. If you use a digital camera, use the highest resolution and make sure the memory stick is empty (or has enough storage capacity).”

9. Video camera. “Always use clean new recording media, or a fresh, clean memory micro SD card – the largest capacity one your video camera will accept. Gyro stabilized ones are good for hand held models. Switch torches off before shooting to prevent light reflection.”


10. An open mind. “Go along on a Ghost Tour with a positive attitude, an open mind, and use your good sense. Remember to Have fun.”
