The first step is to determine, as best you can,
whether or not you truly have a legitimate case
of a haunting. Here are some examples that
you might have a haunting...
* Unexplained noises - footsteps; knocks,
banging, rapping; scratching sounds; sounds
of something being dropped.
* Doors, cabinets and cupboards opening and
closing - most often, these phenomena are not
seen directly.
* Lights turning off and on - these events are
seldom seen actually occurring, but the lights
are switched on or off when the experiencer
knows they were not left that way.
* Unexplained shadows - the sighting of
fleeting shapes and shadows, usually seen
out of the corner of the eye.
* Strange animal behavior - a dog, cat or other
pet behaves strangely.
* Feelings of being watched.
* Feelings of being touched - the feeling of
being watched is one thing, and actually feeling
like you are being touched is quite another.
* Cries and whispers - muffled voices,
whispering and crying can be heard. Some
people hear their names being said.
* Cold or hot spots - cold spots are classic
haunting symptoms, but any instance of a
noticeable variance in temperature without a
discernable cause could be evidence.
* Unexplained smells - the distinct fragrance of
a perfume or cologne that you do not have in
your house.
* Moving or levitating objects - dinner plates
sliding across the table; pictures flying off
walls; doors slamming shut with great force;
furniture sliding across the floor.

Q: Can children see spirits?
A: Children are more open minded; therefore, they
might not know if what they are seeing is a spirit. They
are not preconditioned to ignore the unexplainable and
really don't understand the statement “there are no such
thing as ghosts”.
Q: How do I get rid of an unwanted spirit?
A: Well, hopefully, with the right knowledge, you won't
feel threatened by its presence, but if you are truly
uncomfortable with the fact you may have a spirit, and it
is the right type of spirit, you can ask it to leave. As a
family you need to tell it to leave, to move on. This may
take several tries, however it is your home and you need
to take charge. Simply say “we do not want you here, it is
time you moved on”.
Q: Why do spirits move things?
A: We cannot interview a spirit to find out for sure, but
we guess that they may want to let you know they are
there.
Q: How much weight can a spirit move?
A: An intelligent spirit doesn't seem to move objects
more than around 10 pounds in weight. This can
actually work out to be quite a shove or a grab. A
demonic or inhuman entity, appears to be able to move
much more than that.
Q: What is a demonic or inhuman?
A: A demonic or inhuman is a classification we use to
describe an entity that has never walked the earth in a
human corporeal form. There are many different types;
demons, elementals, angels, etc.
Q: Can spirits travel from place to place?
A: We don't see why not. They seem to have the ability to
move at their will.
Q: Why do you investigate at night?
A: If an entity, while manifesting itself, causes any light at
all, you will see it better at night with infrared
cameras. If an entity, while manifesting itself, does not
cause light, then you will see it at night with infrared
cameras. If you were to do this during the day, you
wouldn't catch that bit of light, should there be one.
Q: Why can spirits travel through walls?
A: One theory is that they are made up of energy and
as you know energy is not solid, giving them the ability to
travel through a wall. Another one is that if it is a residual
haunting, the entity is oblivious to a newly constructed
wall etc. Others say, that the spirit is made of fine matter
which is less dense than that of a wall.
