I recently received a troubling email from a person that was experiencing a lot of problems, maybe this will help.

When you start to have that eerie feeling; like your not alone yet every body else has gone to work and school or everybody else is sleeping, and the lamp turns on by it's self then it's time to do some thing. Especially if this kind of thing has been going on for a while.  "When in doubt, check it out"( as Jason and Grant of The Ghost Hunters would say, ie Tapps)   If you feel uncomfortable and scared then ask a relative to help you or a friend.  Get a tape recorder and try to ask questions, remember to leave time for what ever to reply back or make a noise. Remember it has to be very quiet when you make the recording. Carry on an interview type conversation and when you are through rewind the recorder and play it back.This is called an EVP session, Electronic Voice Phenomena.

Most camcorders have night vision, make a video.  Get a digital camera and take random pictures, then download them on the computer so you can see them better.  If you get results and some thing does show up in the pictures, and you get evp's , congratulations, you have just conducted your first ghost hunt.

If however you get threatening, growling and diabolical sounds or voices on your evps. Or if anyone has been pushed, shoved, scratched,tripped and so on; then you need to get an experienced team to come and investigate. Some people have actually stood up to these threatening ghosts,"spirits" and said" LOOK, this is my house and sorry but you are not welcomed to stay here and hang around and scare my family. We don't want you here so get out and leave us alone, now. And don't come back!"  And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  If it doesn't then definitely get some help. There are experienced  groups in just about every state now that do this kind of investigations.

I would not move out of my house or live in fear.  Some times a haunting may occur in a house or building and it isn't the house or building.  Sometimes it is an object that the spirit is haunting.  Just don't give up your home too fast and think that you have to move to stop the haunting.  Some spirits are not violent and can be very friendly, I have heard of cases where the spirit actually saves the person or family from harm.

In any case, don't give up your house too soon, get some help, there are several experienced groups out there in every state, I would hope free of charge. If you have problems with finding  help please email me @

If you live in South Carolina,I have a small group and can come free of charge, it may not be the same day, ( I do have a regular job) but I will be there asap.  If you are out of SC. then I am sure I can get an experienced group to come and help.
