How We Investigate
There is no such thing as a typical investigation as each location and the activity is unique, however the way we go about our investigations tend to follow a similar format.
1 member coordinates the investigation with the person responsible for the location organising an initial review of the location and the investigation itself. This team member will gather information about the location, interview relevant people at the location in regards to the history of the location and the claimed paranormal activity at the venue.
At the pre investigation review of the location, 2 members will visit the property and assess the location to decide how many members are needed for the investigation, what equipment is needed, where to place the equipment and where the base station will be.
Upon arrival at the Investigation location the team will be shown where the base will be and then bring the equipment into the base station. The team then splits up into smaller groups and the team members that are more sensitive to psychic energy conduct a tour of the building to see if they pick up on anything.
The remaining team members carry out set up the monitoring equipment. As part of the set up we run baseline tests in each room of the location, this involves taking temperature readings and an EMF reading. At this time we will also setup trigger objects if it’s appropriate for the location.
After this has been completed we do a quick opening circle and then split into teams to carry out separate vigils in each area, trying to communicate with whatever spirits are at the location and examine the claims of paranormal activity at the location. A rota is put in place where each team member spends time at each investigation area and the base staion.. We do this to ensure the entire location is covered and to see if different team members get a variety of responses throughout the location.
At the end of the investigation we pack up our equipment and go and get some sleep, after which we start our review of the evidence to see if we have anything we can take to our client and exchange notes and any experiences we had during the investigation. We also have a team member that will go out and further research the location including anything that our mediums have picked up to see if the information they got can be corroborated.
Finally we prepare a report and present it along with our findings to the clients.
