Fri, 23 October 2009 In this HollowHill.com podcast, Fiona Broome answers several questions from readers.Q. Is ghost hunting related to some religion or faith?
A. No. Some groups are formed by members of one faith, church, temple,
coven/circle or grove. However, ghost hunting -- in general -- isn't
related to any specific set of spiritual beliefs.
Also, remember that TV shows & movies -- and the public ghost tours and events that emulate them -- are not the best resource for questions about spirituality. Simply: Don't look for spiritual answers in the entertainment field. Q. Is there really a "witching hour"?
A. Traditionally, the witching hour is midnight. There's also a
tradition that 3 a.m. is Satan's time. Are they accurate? Fiona
explains that neither of those have relevance to ghost hunting, and
talks about her favorite times for ghost hunting.
Q. I was at a ghost tour (or a ghost hunt, or saw a movie about a haunting, or a TV show, or a website that claims that ghosts travel through Internet and phone connections). Now, I think a ghost is in my home (or business, or car). Is that possible?
A. In this part of the podcast, Fiona explains that your home or office
may be haunted. However, it's not likely that the ghost followed you
home or arrived via your TV, phone or Internet connection. Music: Zombie, by Devin AndersonRelated link: HollowHill.com Comments[0] |

Labradorite - the mineral used in some "blue light" grave markers Pine Hill Cemetery in Hollis, NH is very good for daytime ghost hunting. We've visited it regularly since 1999.

Sat, 3 January 2009 Are children more aware of ghosts? Do children make better ghost hunters than adults? In this 15 minute podcast, those questions are answered by psychic ghost hunter Fiona Broome, the founder of Hollow Hill. Among the points discussed by Fiona: - Children are more perceptive than most adults, but also less objective. - Ghosts, especially angry ghosts, can manifest as very large spirits and terrify children. - Children can be physically, mentally and spiritually more vulnerable than adults. - Adults are more objective but also less observant. - Adults are more likely to investigate something odd before calling it a ghost; a child may be frightened and want to leave. - Teens may be a "happy medium" ... no pun intended. In this podcast, Fiona also discusses liability issues regarding children, teens and adults. She explains how to plan ahead in case an adult becomes very frightened or belligerent during a ghost hunt. For more about this topic, see Fiona's article, Age and Ghost Hunting.

Wed, 12 November 2008  Fiona Broome talks about ghost hunting during the winter. These are some of her suggestions:If it's too cold outside for outdoor ghost hunts, investigate indoors. Check haunted theatres, hotels, restaurants, museums and haunted houses. Review last year's investigations. Re-read your notes, review your photos and EVPs, and see which sites should be revisited for more research. Plan the upcoming year. Include a ghost hunt at one location you've been planning to visit, but haven't investigated yet. If it's a popular location, make your travel reservations now. Research other locations using new and popular ghost-related books. Also skim 19th century histories of your vicinity, looking for references to ghost stories, haunted places and other paranormal phenomena. Practice with your ghost hunting tools. The better you understand them, and the easier it is for you to use them in the dark, the more you'll be able to observe during future ghost investigations. Schedule ghost hunts starting the week before April 30th. In many cultures, that's a night when -- like Halloween -- the ghosts walk among us. Discover Walpurgisnacht (or Walpurgis Night) traditions and make the most of them on this second eerie and magical night for spirits.

Wed, 29 October 2008 Psychic ghost hunter Fiona Broome discusses ghost hunting tools.Using the K-II meter as an example, she comments on the benefits and liabilities of highly sensitive, high-tech ghost hunting equipment. The more sensitive the equipment, the more it will detect normal -- but often unnoticed -- phenomena, in addition to the paranormal. For this reason, researchers must do far more extensive baseline studies before relying on sensitive equipment to document ghosts. The more complex the ghost hunting equipment, the more it can hold the attention of the researcher. This is a liability as well. Fiona suggests that EMF surges, orbs, cold spots, etc. aren't the ghosts; they could be signs of ghosts, or an indication that the door between the worlds has just opened. If you're busy watching the flashing lights on the meter, you might miss seeing an actual apparition or other spectacular paranormal display. Fiona also notes that the absence of EMF could be as important as EMF spikes in haunted settings. Fiona recommends relying primarily on your five (or six) senses. Ghost hunting tools can support and document paranormal experiences, but they shouldn't be the only way we connect with the ghosts around us.
