Ghost Hunting Team Dublin Wanted

'purge' might seem like a strong word, but the likelihood of running into 'demons' is quite quite remote The probability of finding any credible evidence of paranormal activity will also be very low anyhow. Saying that, if you haven't seen an object move by itself before (or what ever) it would be quite startling! I'd say that this is something that most won't get used to over time!

I believe that if you are pursuing a vocation of helping worried people with unexplained phenomena, you will come across paranormal happenings eventually [although, you will be putting people's mind at rest in the vast majority of cases with reasonable explanations, the presumed raison d'être of paranormal teams].

Should a reasonable conclusion be that there is strong evidence of intrusive or disturbing paranormal activity then a priest or minister etc should be considered first. Saying that, getting a priest or minister to bless a house or more might be difficult but most established paranormal teams will know of one who can help.

I guess what I am saying is that everyone is right i.e. be sure you know what you are letting yourself in for right from the start,

…… don't ask scary questions if you do not want scary answers ….. !!

200 in a well known Dublin castle? Is this the same place that everyone else goes to as well? Surely to goodness there must be some significant evidence of the paranormal after all that "research". Sometimes for me the strongest potential confirmation for the non-existence of anything vaguely paranormal existing is boards.ie.

This seem a tad harsh to me, especially the last sentence. This board should be a place where people interested in the paranormal can discuss without ridicule and mockery….

K, you may not have intended it at all, that is just the way is came across in my view … no hard feelings ….

K, No bother, cheers. I accept my own short-comings here.

Gathering evidence of paranormal activity is notoriously laborious and time-consuming and yielding little in most cases. Often teams repeat vigils at the same place (when they are not out helping at a private location) to merely hone skills e.g. photography or electronics or procedures in set-up etc. Most reputedly haunted locations are difficult to access e.g. private homes or businesses. I would hazard a guess that a lot people would suffer in silence e.g. people would think that they are mad, or house price dropping etc

Ironically, people NOT looking for paranormal activity see/feel/hear it unexpectedly whereas investigators have long vigils at a reputedly haunted locations and yield very little. The former are the people I hope use this forum to hear that their experience is not unique. I would guess and hope that if they do drop a message here that a member of the established teams would contact them discretely and let them know that [discrete] help is at hand.

As we all know, when paranormal activity is suspected and natural explanations ruled out capturing evidence is often difficult and anticipating re-occurances can be impossible. Can the occurrence be replicated and studied? No? Perhaps scientists have to open their minds to alternative theories and techniques that are outside of their professional training? e.g. aura photography perhaps?

Most of the larger teams work together in some degree in best practices, equipment, report filing and report writing etc. Although there would be constraints in discussing particular cases due to client confidentiality and date protection etc a lot of knowledge in this area is shared I would expect.
