Spirituality? http://hollowhill.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=540755#
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.

1. How can I join a ghost hunting group?

Fiona recommends checking any search engine with the phrase "ghost hunting" plus group and team, and the name of your city, county or state.

Other resources include message boards at TAPS, Ghost Village, and Para-X radio.

Before joining any group, be sure to review Fiona's advice in the fourth section of her free Introduction to Ghost Hunting course.

2. What do you think of ___ TV show?

In this part of the podcast, Fiona explains why she rarely watches ghost-related TV shows.  She also talks about how realistic they are (and aren't), and -- when she does watch them -- what she's looking for.

3. Are "blue light" cemeteries real?

Learn one very normal reason why you may see colorful, flashing lights above a gravestone, so you can rule it out before thinking you've seen a ghost.

For further reading:
Cemeteries near Bear Creek Park (Houston, TX), including "Blue Light Cemetery," also known as Hillendahl Cemetery.
Labradorite - the mineral used in some "blue light" grave markers

4. Is Pine Hill Cemetery, aka "Blood Cemetery," good for ghost hunting?

Pine Hill Cemetery in Hollis, NH is very good for daytime ghost hunting.  We've visited it regularly since 1999.  However, Pine Hill Cemetery is very well patrolled by the police at night, and not a smart choice for after-dark research.

Fiona concludes with an update -- and some research tips -- for Old Center Cemetery in Andover, NH.

-------------------------

Several of these questions were addressed in earlier podcasts.  However, friends and fans couldn't always find those podcasts, so we've created a list of them at Hollow Hill's podcasts mini-sitemap.

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.

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.

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.

Here's the bottom line: If you're in a cemetery or another public, haunted place, you aren't the first person to try to help the ghost you've encountered.  You may not even be among the first 100 people who've tried to help them.  Cemeteries and frequently visited haunted sites are best for research.

By contrast, you can find success at private residences and businesses if your primary goal is to help spirits trapped on the earthly plane.

In this podcast, Fiona describes the eerie depressions that indicate unmarked graves at the back of this cemetery.  She also talks about the "Betty Gilson, I have your baby," urban legend.

Another tale about Gilson Road involves an insane medicine man who was banished to an island, supposedly where a subdivision stands today.  Is he the one who whispers in the woods at night?

Fiona describes other strange phenomena at the cemetery, from ghostly lights in back of the cemetery to unexplained blue lines in photos taken with several different cameras.

Fiona also talks about the ghost story related to the footsteps on the stairs.  The victim was William Winter, who--in 1871--was shot on the porch of The Myrtles, and then stumbled up the stairs before collapsing near the top step.  He died on the stairs, in the arms of his wife.

Our next podcast will be in about two weeks. Fiona will talk about investigating another wonderful haunted house, Houmas House in Louisiana.

1. Hotel Monteleone - A portal to the other side?
2. Jackson Square - Its vivid military history is just one reason why this is one of New Orleans' most haunted areas.
3. Pirates Alley - Named because the ghost of pirate Jean Lafitte is often seen there.
4. Brennan's Restaurant - At least four ghosts haunt two floors of this internationally famous restaurant. 
5. Visit the French Quarter! While many areas of New Orleans are still in recovery, the French Quarter was barely touched by the hurricane and the flooding that followed.  It's just as much fun as ever, and perhaps more haunted!
