David LinckNowadays,the “experts” on TV make the investigations look relatively easy with their expensive equipment. It is possible for a run-of-the-mill normal everyday person to investigate paranormal experiences with equipment that is found in everyone’s house.
Step 1
Research the site of the paranormal experience. Ask neighbors about the history of the house or look for old newspaper articles that give information about past happenings in the house. The former property owners and the local police may also have some enlightening information.
Step 2
Set up a video camera in the area where the paranormal experience occurred. The camera may catch objects moving or lights being turned on or off.
Step 3
Walk around the house, looking for dramatic changes in temperature. These can be detected with a thermometer or by physical feel. Paranormal beings are said to create cold spots in the area when a manifestation occurs. If a cold spot is detected, take pictures with a digital camera in all directions from the cold spots. Remember to take photos toward the ceiling also.
Step 4
Carry a voice recorder from room to room. Ask the questions, “Is anybody here? Would you like to tell us anything?” Wait a few moments and continue to the next room. Paranormal voices or sounds may be heard on playback.
Step 5
Use a motion detector to monitor for movement. Some nightlights will activate if they sense any movement. Set up another video camera where the motion detector is located, allowing the investigator the chance to see what sets off the motion detector.
