What to Do if You Have a Ghost 

or Experience a Paranormal Event

If you are experiencing paranormal activity, the following guidelines will help:

1. Remain calm. This may be hard to do at first, but understand that most hauntings can be explained with natural phenomena. Even if yours is a true haunting, most spirits are benevolent in nature and mean you no harm. They are just trying to get your attention. You can also firmly tell the spirit that this is your house and that it should move on.

2. Document your experiences in a detailed manner. Be sure to record:

• The incident; do not leave out any detail no matter how small you may think it is. For example, did you hear any noises? Voices? Did things move on their own? etc.

• What happened just before and leading up to the incident? What made the incident stop?

• Date, time, and duration of the incident.

• Your feelings. For example, do you feel the spirit was trying to communicate with you? If so, what do you think the message was?

3. Contact the SPIRITeam or a local paranormal research group for assistance. Doing so can help you better understand what is happening.
