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.
