Ghost Hunting 101

Last night me and some homies (Roy, Erica, Lindsey, Newby, Katie, and Kenneth) went ghost hunting. IDK if you guys know this but I am ghost hunting addict, for real. I love it. Last summer Erica, Lindsey, and I went ghost hunting once, it was my first time, and I got hooked on it immediately. Have I ever seen a ghost or witnessed something scary while doing this, no. However, it's still a thrill ride and I don't see myself ever stopping.

For those of you who are thinking that ghost hunting sounds interesting, or even bat-shit crazy, let me give an idea of what a ghost hunting trip is usually like, and how to get started:

1) Look up some places (yes, places as in more than one. it's never fun to only go to one place) online and make sure you find the exact location of where it should be, getting lost is never fun, but it does make for some fun stories.

2) Get a legit group of friends together. The most important thing about creating a krunk group is making sure the scaredy cats balance out the people who are up for anything crazy. This keeps things equal and it lets the ensemble mesh out, and smarter decisions are made.

3) Get your gear. GHOST HUNTING GEAR INCLUDES: Flashlight (duh), weapons (can be anything from a pocket knife to a bat), cellphones (but don't lose them), salt (in case you run into witches or demons), crucifixes (just in case there's vamps), and this is probably the most important item STRIPS OF CLOTH (if you are walking a nice long way through woods or anything tie these strips of preferably white cloth to tree branches or bushes so you can find your way back, you laugh now but they will save your life).

4)Once everyone is ready and has their gear you set out for your destination. Once you get close there will always, ALWAYS be someone who wants to back out. That's fine, usually this person can stay in the car for a speedy esape, if there is a need for one that is, but just remind this person(s) that it's going to be okay even though it probably will be terrible.

5) When you get to the location make sure everyone has their necessary gear. LEAVE ALL VALUABLES IN THE CAR. Except your cell, sometimes even that can stay but whatevs. If someone is staying in the car make them be the driver and have them be ready to start the car if any sign of danger appears, however don't let them drive away with out you. Which brings me to the most IMPORTANT thing about ghost hunting.

6) Before you set off you see some ghosts one question needs to be asked to the group. Are you guys a stick together through anything ghost hunting crew? Or is it every man for himself when things go to shits? Usually people stick with the first one, which is nice, but if there's an axe wielding maniac in the woods, it's easy to trip the person running in front of you so that your not the one getting eaten by cannibals or being possessed.

Now that you know the ins and outs of ghost hunting I highly suggest you start getting your research done and start getting that crew together.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.
People ask me all the time if I've ever seen anything scary while ghost hunting, the truth is. . . .NO.
But everyone should know that the scariest part of ghost hunting, isn't really the ghosts or monsters, it's getting shot and/or arrested.
Half the time the haunted places are on private property and since you're trespassing you can be shot and killed or taken to jail. That's never happened to any hunters that I know but you never know. . .


It's haunted.
