Investigations
We are actively seeking areas of paranormal activity and request that you
contact us via email or through the forum if you have any suggestions.

We have 2 types of investigation they are:
Closed: Open to FULL members only - this will
probably be due to venue restrictions.
Open: Investigation will be open to Associate
Members and FULL members.
We will of course bring you up to date with written, photographic, video
and audible evidence that we collect and post here. If you would like
to attend a venue with us register online today - you will then be on your
way to your first paranormal experience. If you need more information
please feel free to email
bj@haunted-devon.co.uk the girls on the end of this email are
experienced group members and are able to answer any questions in relation
to member etiquette that you may have.
Why
Haunted Devon?
Why choose Haunted Devon? Well we are an
established team with years of experience in the paranormal between us. Many
groups do not have insurance required to lead investigation and you should
always question groups that are not open about this - it is after all a
basic requirement. We always carry out a health and safety inspection
and carry a first aid equipment together with the skills to use it - Your
safety and well being is of paramount importance to us. We do not charge
membership fees on top of venue fees we believe in keeping our members and
developing their skills.

Most of our investigations will take place at night as this is when
paranormal activity tends to be at its highest however occasionally we will
also carry out investigations early morning or at dusk. The venue will have
been chosen and the team members normally meet near the site for a meal.
Investigations can be extremely tiring - with many hours in darkness we
can never guarantee that you will see anything so a meal and "scooby snacks" are a
must. We tend to arrive early, preferably in daylight, so that the
baseline walk around can be carried out by our technical team. Throughout this time the team
will acquaint themselves with the building or site layout and record
temperature and EMF readings in various areas. This information is
used to ensure an entirely scientific approach.

On completion of the baseline walk - we either use a spiritualist medium
or our own dowsing techniques to confirm the presence of spiritual activity.
From hereon the investigation begins with a variety of experiments such as dark
vigils, dowsing if appropriate. We always ensure that the
group respects the venue and will never undertake any activity that may place
the group at risk.
Ghosts
and Spirits are the same thing
Actually there is a big difference. Ghosts tend to be residual energies
normally linked to a building or site. They are unaware of the world in which
they reside and are considered by many to be "playback" machines that spring
to life at given dates, or to those sensitive enough to witness them.
Spirits on the other hand are aware of their surroundings and can
communicate with those present in a physical manner.

I would
like to attend an investigation
Most people are curious as to what happens on a "Ghost Hunt" but
are put off
the experience as they feel that the event will be attended by "Derek Accorah"
type people with white suits and crocodile shoes. (No offence Derek).
Fear not.. the majority of people that attend investigations are considered
to be normal rational people in good jobs. From our experience the
group is normally mixed, with plenty of "new" people keen to experience
something out of the ordinary. Our advice would be to use a reputable
company (We have links to reputable companies on this site) and ultimately
enjoy the evening. Once you have attended one event you may feel the need to
attend others; it
is human nature to be inquisitive after all.
