sacredearth   10 #14 Posted February 23, 2008 We no longer pay to visit large famous buildings as they charge very high prices so you have to take a lot of people and carry a hefty insurance to cover these people against accident. This means that you cannot carry out an accurate investigation of the building as there are too many people moving about, which defeats the whole purpose of being there. The only time we do these sort of buildings now is if we are invited there for free (as we are on a few occasions). We have been to most of the bigger venues and a lot that Most Haunted have been to but find that many of these are just money making ventures (a real shame). We now concentrate on places that other people have not been to and venues that we are called out to because there have been reports of paranormal activity. We tend to work in small groups 3 - 5 people using a lot of night vision cameras and audio equipment, which we find a lot more productive than having the extra 'bodies'. This is just our preference drawn from our own experiences. You have to decide for yourselves what route you want to take. All the best, Bren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TYPS   10 #15 Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks guys for such a warm welcome and all the advise.  I must admit i did not expect anything like the kind responce we have received from other paranormal teams.  I do have a question though, I have been advised to get some training and a qulification run by these guys  THE SCIENTIFIC ESTABLISHMENT OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY and Manchester's Association of Paranormal Investigators & Training  I'm not convinced, and would like to know if any other team has such things and if so where from??  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mel77 Â Â 10 #16 Posted February 23, 2008 :)Hi Guys!! I wish you every sucess in your venture. You will probably find that you will have to go out and find a few locations to get you started. We still going looking for new sites/venues on a regular basis. We do get quite a lot of people contact us to do investigations in private houses etc. but mainly because we have been going a while now. In fact we have an investigation tonight and one on Tuesday. I am sure that all the other paranormal groups out there will agree with me that if you want to do regular investigations you will have to look for them (there are plenty out there). We have been lucky enough to find a few places where things have happened that we can't explain away to natural causes, I hope you find such a place. All the best and 'happy hunting' .Regards Bren:) Â Â Hi can you clear your pm box please, ive sent you a pm x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think the best possible experience is gained from your own trial and error. I always say 'make sure you really enjoy what you are doing before paying out any large amounts of money'. My own experience was 'hands on' with The Society of Psychical Research, The Institute of Physiological Studies and the Society for the Study of Physiological Patterns many years ago in London for which I only paid an annual membership fee and from doing 'house clearing/investigation for several years. In other words: try a few investigations before deciding whether you need any training. Just be sensible and don't take any unnecessary chances safety wise.

Bwitched   10 #19 Posted February 24, 2008 I agree that you should enjoy investigations too they should always be enjoyable like us at the Haunted Realm Paranormal Investigators we get together as friends too and have nights out. We at HRPI are a non-profit group we only ever pay the locations owners the amount of money that they require for us to go investigating we never charge more than what we are required to pay we split the cost equally between ourselves and our members as we understand that people including ourselves cannot afford to pay over the odds when attending investigations. All our investigations are chosen at our meetings and are put forward by our members and are voted on so we get the locations that our members want to investigate. As for training i myself am taking Manchester's Association of Paranormal Investigators & Training course it is a fantastic course and definitly worth taking.  We really hope you enjoy your investigations in the future good luck with everything:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
