Before you start, the most important thing you must know is the difference between a spirit and a ghost. They most certainly are different things. Willenhall medium Philip Solomon explains:  | | Philip Solomon |
"Ghost and hauntings are very different to spirits. A spirit is a continuation of your soul that goes on forever. "But a ghost is just something that has happened in the past and replays back in the ether. They are the emotional memories of an ordinary human being who has died unexpectedly or tragically and are not aware they have died. "A part of their personality carries on in the surroundings where they lived or died repeating their last actions over and over again. Like a tape recorded message if you like."

Apparitions - Some apparitions are so lifelike they are sometimes believed to be living people. When sighted they are more typically transparent. Footsteps - footsteps are often heard when no-one is there maybe in an empty room or passageway. Electrical items - household appliance coming on by themselves when not plugged in or lights going off and on when no-one has touched the switch. Voices - Hearing voices when there is no-one there. Moving objects - jewellery and money disappearing and reappearing or being moved. Cold spots - Unexplained cold areas in the room when windows, doors and vents are closed. Below is a very basic kit and handy tips to investigate any ghostly happenings in your house.  | Notepad, pen and pencil - Vital for making notes of anything that happens. Note down any sounds or occurrences. | | String or Adhesive tape - Used to seal doors and windows that are reported to be self opening. The evidence of the any openings will be obvious. | | Chalk - use the chalk to mark around objects that are being moved around on their own i.e. jewellery, around table and chair legs. | | Dictaphone or tape recorder - Useful for researching ghostly sounds and unexplained voices. Leave on record at all times. | | Talcum powder - Used together with a magnifying glass to investigate unexplained footsteps. | | Camera or Video Camcorder - Invaluable when investigating ghostly activities. Try and use one with an infrared lock and built in flash so can be used in low light. |
