With Halloween plans changing because of COVID this year, I’m going to suggest you give ghost hunting a try! There won’t be any Trick or Treating or any bar hopping in a fun costume for most people this year, so get your Halloween spirit on by trying some amateur ghost hunting.
Ghost hunting can be for skeptics and believers to try. One of my favorite duo’s of skeptic/believer hunting is Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara from BuzzFeed Unsolved: Supernatural. They turn ghost hunting into a comedic and spooky adventure with their hilarious dualities of beliefs. I think what ever your stance is on ghosts or not, you can have fun with friends this Halloween. So here is what you’re going to need:
- An open mind is something you’re going to want to have while hunting. It’s all about curiosity when searching for the paranormal so an open mind will allow you to bring your guard down and let entities interact with you.
- A haunted place – I don’t suggest trespassing into abandoned houses or buildings without permission since the horror should be focused on ghosts and not getting arrested. Use your grandma’s creepy basement or your friend’s haunted bedroom. Or just try your living room!
- A phone or recording device will aid you on finding evidence. I don’t suggest buying anything super expensive just for a night of fun and a phone will work just fine! Your phone can help you pick up EVPs. EVP stands for electronic voice phenomenon where you can pick up voices not heard at time of the recording, but can be heard after playing it back. You can use the Voice Memo app on iPhone or the Voice Recorder found on Android.
- A camera will also be your friend when searching. You can use your phone for this too, but if you have a Polaroid, it is even better. A Polaroid allows you to believe that you caught something since there is no photoshop with the physical photo.
That’s all you’ll need for a good ghost hunting session! My advice is to not use an Ouija board. I think we’ve all seen those movies where it goes terribly wrong. You can ask the spirit their name, how old they are, and maybe how they died. Don’t invite anything dangerous into the investigation and if you meet a demon, don’t forget the Holy Water. Happy Hunting!

This is such a fun idea for a blog! I am such a baby when it comes to these types of things, but I have friends that will love this. Side note: I really like the layout of this blog and idea, and how organized the posts are! Love it.

Your blog’s theme is perfect for this spooky season! A blue moon on Halloween night, paired with an open mind, like you said, could lead to some cool paranormal discoveries! Maybe I’ll work up the courage to try this out!

Hello Sara,
I’m back again because I can’t get enough of the paranormal posts. In agreement with others that have commented on this post, I really enjoy the environment of your blogs. They are inviting, organized, and overall fun to read. My personal favorite in regard to ghost hunters would be Zak Bagans and his crew, as I feel they offer a genuine scare in some of their episodes (from time to time, even adding a bit of comedy too). Overall, a light and fun post to read. I look forward to seeing what you post next!

This blog is so fun! I look forward to reading your blogs every week! I agree with everyone above your blog has a very nice esthetic! I also love this idea of going ghost hunting! I personally have always wanted to try an Ouija board, but I do agree with your warning they are not something you should really mess with.

I love the theme of your blog and it’s perfect for October and Halloween! I’ve mentioned before in your previous blog how much I love everything paranormal! This seems like such a fun idea for Halloween, as long as you are careful about it because there are certain things that can bring up bad spirits.

This is a really good and interesting topic especially since its Halloween. Its cool to see you explain it or offer tips on ghost hunting especially to make it similar to all the shows out there. I enjoyed reading this and it seems like something I could actually get into.

Perfect post for Halloween! When I was in high school I tried a Ouiji board with some friends in a house that was supposed to be haunted in our little town. We, of course, were laughing and having fun the whole time, but we didn’t have any type of paranormal experience. It was still a cool experience and a good way to spend time with friends around holidays like Halloween. Thanks for sharing!
