Here is a collection of Questions that we have been asked over the years...
Q: Why do you Ghost Hunt?
A: We have always been interested in the paranormal in general. We wanted to be Ghost Hunters, but we didn't know how to go about it. The internet opened a whole new
world to us. We learned the basics ourselves and we're still learning everytime we do an investigation.
Q: I want to be a Ghost Hunter when I grow up. Can I work for you?
Or where can I find a job as a Ghost Hunter
A: I think that if we were to do this for a living, it would take all the fun out of it. This is our hobby. We don't get paid for what we do. Quite the opposite, we spend money to do it! Our equipment cost alone at this point is into the thousands of dollars. We are always looking for new equipment as well. In this field, you are always trying new things and new ideas. There are basic protocals, but there is no "right" way to Ghost Hunt.
I think the only way to get paid for this kind of work is to become a Parapsychologist. Get ready to spend money and ALOT of time for that as well.
Eight years of college for General Psychology, and another four years at least for the rest.
Q: Do you ever get scared when you are Ghost Hunting?
A: In a word, yes, but not as much anymore. It's a very odd feeling when something happens that you cannot explain logically. It's an amazing feeling too! I compare it to riding a roller coaster or Bunji jumping. It's the rush that keeps us interested. The hope that something will happen and we will capture it. We've had quite a few things happen to us that we cannot explain. The most important thing is to keep a level head and not let your imagination take over.
Q: How do I learn to hunt Ghosts?
A: We are mainly self taught at this. We have learned so much over the years from the friends we've made through other Ghost groups. You learn more as you go in Ghost Hunting. A great place to start on the web is Dave Juliano's "Ghosthunting 101" page. Click HERE. You don't need tons of equipment or money. The main thing is to have an open mind and a desire to do it
Q: How do I get rid of a Ghost?
A: We don't know. We get asked this all the time. Our advise is: If you believe you have one and don't want it around anymore, ask it to leave. We have suggested having houses blessed on past investigations. It couldn't hurt. In all of the cases we were involved in, it worked. We have also heard of "clensings", but we do not perform them.
Q: John, Why do you wear that train conductors hat ?
A: I started wearing the hat sometime in the early 1980's and it just stuck.
I'm not even into trains or anything, I just took a liking to it I guess. It's become
my trademark. People remember me when they see it. I rarely leave home without it!
Q: You're gonna thing I'm crazy, but...
A: Believe me, we have heard them all at this point. We get alot of emails that start like
