Ok guys whos up for a night of ghost hunting at packman lane, or any other place that may be that haunted?

i think a small team of people with cameras and sound recording should help.

So chavs with mobiles that have voice recording facility is out the question then?...... shame, jimbob would've loved to go. :D

Where ever you go this time of year wrap up warm its blood cold out there.:cool:

Just a note... I was walking through town today and after speaking to some forummers who are into the paranormal, I thought it may be of interest. It's some over-night ghost-hunting jaunts across Yorkshire.

That is just your opinion nubile. I know the truth.
RootsBooster, we use Ouija boards, K2 meters, Grid lasers, ghost box, dowsing rods and sensors.
More importantly we use our own senses and feelings.

Ghosts don't exist. You are grown up, you should know this. You die, you get buried, or cremated. Those buried are maggot food, those cremated; there aint a lot left.

I presume you have some prove to justify this statement..... Or is this something you think don't exists. Through out history people, scholars, and all type documentation exists regarding hauntings.

All that and not a shred of any proof, unless you have some you'd care to share.

So the written word isn't proof enough for you. But wheres your proof I presume you have some.

Diparanormal, please be careful with the amount of self promotion you are making. You've cross posted several times and this is not allowed on SF.

You think you do, though tablets could probably cure it. :hihi:

the only ghosts i see are in a bottle of spirits..........................................

I've seen the remnants (skeletons) of those that have been buried, and I've seen coffins go into very warm incinerators, and the ashes in the urns after, so yes I suppose I do have proof. Quite alot of it as it happens.

Can't find em in the phonebook but this mob might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RonVkZ1lXA

Ah, those well known pieces of scientific equipment, ouija boards and dousing rods.

By any chance, is that because the results from your equipment is unreliable and/or unconclusive? Well, at least senses and feelings can't be manipulated.

No walkie-talkies or smartphones?

What happens if the ghost decides to attck the ghost hunters?

I take it some has a weapon to kill the ghost if this happens?

And how do you KNOW this ?

Normally called a "torch" I think. Or "turning the lights on" if you're indoors.

The big mistake is to look-you need to build up your empathetic skills and the ghosts wil flock to you.Here are a few tips.

1.Wear retro clothing

2.Read up about castles battles and fill the home with antiques.

3.Banish modernitems such as mobiles and give away your ipods etc.

4.Take public transport and better still walk and ride a horse/trap round town.

5.Shop in Barnsley and Worksop,especially for clothes and CDs etc.

6.Discuss footballing success-when did SWFC/SUFC win anything other than an egg cup?

Going around in circles.

This type of thread has been done and done to death!! (no pun intended)

every time I see it I think "ooh, I can get back into it again!" - but alas, I never do because I don't really want to go over the same places over and over again!!!

especially if the rest are inexperienced (I don't mind teaching people, and advising, but still....)

We've been through this, Ghosts don't exist. Grown up.

You've seen proof that the physical body perishes after death then. That doesn't mean you know there are no ghosts, it is just a (likely) assumption.

What you probably mean is that because there is no reason to believe that ghosts exist, you do not believe that ghosts exist. As it should be.

I too have no reason to believe that ghosts exist so I currently do not believe that ghosts exist, I'd never say that they definitely don't exist though, that would be an assumption, not knowledge.

Just saw a ghost dressed as a pink elephant. Scared the be jesus outta me!

I don't mean to pee on your parade here Dipar' but can you explain the reasoning for using these pieces of equipment? I mean if I was going to be paying you my hard earned cash for your services, you'd be able to explain it right?

I ask because to my knowledge, there's no scientific link between the equipment listed and ghosts.

Ouija board - Has been sold for ages as a patented game, manufactured by big names such as Waddingtons and Hasbro. As explained by the creator in his patent application, the low-friction planchette is moved around the board via idiomotor actions (ie, one or more of the participants do it themselves unaware). There is no reason to believe this has any link to the supernatural.

Interestingly, if you set out a plain board with a beermat on each corner and tell people that under each one is a special word that a spirit can use to communicate with them, the planchette will still move (be moved) to one of the four corners EVEN THOUGH there is nothing underneath the beermats.

K2 meter - Detects EMF (electro magnetic fields). This from the "manufacturer" of one such item;

"Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, are emitted by electrical devices of all types. EMFs are everywhere, originating from appliances, cell phones, electrical wiring, and even the human body. The K-II EMF Meter helps measure these fields to identify appliances that produce high-level emissions, allowing users to make informed decisions about limiting exposure. EMF fluctuations have also been associated with locations where unexplained phenomena have been reported, including alleged hauntings. The K-II operates on a single 9V battery, and reports EMF measurements in five milliGauss ranges."

I know, just to point that out to you again.. "EMFs are everywhere" followed later by " EMF fluctuations have also been associated with locations where unexplained phenomena have been reported, including alleged hauntings". Logic, anyone?

Many things do produce EMF including mobile phones and walkie-talkies (usually one or the other is present on these hunts). The human body produces electrical fields, do ghosts have a physical body? No. There is no reason to think that EMF is anything to do with ghosts.

Grid lasers - Emits beams/dots of laser light in a uniform pattern. The only effect anything can have on these beams is to break them, which causes the projected dots to dim or disappear. If fine particles cross the path of these beams then it will be illuminated (ie vapour, dust etc). None of this has been shown to happen with "ghosts" so there is no reason to think it would show anything. Given the lack of explanation for the use of these I'm led to believe it's just a gimmick to impress.

Ghost box - Mishmash of radio parts believed by some to be a two-way communication device between the living and the dead. The results are a form of EVP (electronic voice phenomena) which are very grainy, sharp noises open to interpretation. What one person may hear as "Boy" another may hear as "Die" and another may hear as "Bwaheee!!!". There is no reason to associate these noises with ghosts.

Dowsing rods - Originally used as a method for finding water, with test success rates being no better than chance. Somehow hijacked to detect the presence of ghosts much later on. No reason to think it has anything to do with the presence of ghosts.

Sensors - ???????



I'm open to possibility, but without even a good reason as to why people use this equipment in "ghost hunting" then there is no reason to believe that ghosts exist.

Interestingly, if you set out a plain board with a beermat on each corner and tell people that under each one is a special word that a spirit can use to communicate with them, the planchette will still move (be moved) to one of the four corners EVEN THOUGH there is nothing underneath the beermats.


....although this doesn't discount the possibility of alcoholic ghosts ;)

OH! Did it do a turn like mine? :hihi:

Ghost hunting? You'll be waiting for a long time to see one

Does anyone know how to get into ghost hunting?

You run around like a brainless idiot and scream a lot don't you?

Hear hear Bikertec

Some people are so gullible.

I bet it's these types of people that your typical scammer targets. The one's that believe anything.

Hear hear Bikertec

Can you explain the reasons for using the equipment you listed?

I presume you have some prove to justify this statement..Lol, a ghost hunter asking for proof! That's classic! :hihi:

Hear hear Bikertec

Before people spend money on your events, can you answer one question: Have you ever found conclusive proof of supernatural phenomenon on one of your events?

Oh and, are your events run for entertainment, or as serious scientific expeditions?

Call me psychic, I had a feeling this would go unanswered...

Perhaps if people didn't want to 'hunt' ghosts all the time, they would be more willing to show up. I am sure that if God can exist in some other place, then so can ghosts. I knew someone who could sense their presence. She used to do 'house readings' and there was always a reason when the readings were bad like a murder or something that had happened in the house.

The supernatural is only so because we don't have the means to explain it. One day, we will be able to classify ghosts and explain the phenonemon, just like we can explain miracles and the power of prayer today.
