frequently asked questions!
01
What is the difference between a Spirit and a Ghost?
A ghost, sometimes known as a residual energy, is someone who has passed and is "stuck" between this physical world and the after life. Seeing a ghost is often like watching a replay of what may have gone on in that particular space, kind of like watching a video of what that person may have done.
A spirit is a perosn who passed on, but has actually gone on into the light and through to the next life. After that they are able to come and go between the after life and our physical world. It it these spirits that Mediums can communicate with.
02
I've heard of an EMF meter, but what is it?
EMF stands for electromagnetic field. It is said that the spirit world can affect this electromagnetic field in response to questions, asked by investigators, to answer you. When the magnetic field around the meter is altered, or a spirit comes close, the lights on the meter change from green to red as an indication.
03
Are Ouija Boards safe, and do you use them?
Probably one of the most talked about methods of communication in the field. The short answer is kind of, and no. Ouija Boards are safe provided they are used correctly. They must always be used in the presence of a Medium and Ouija sessions should always be opened and closed correctly. As a team, we don't use them. We often walk into reputedly haunted locations and don't feel we need to exacerbate the situation with Ouija.
04
What are Orbs?
Orbs is the name given to little round light anomalies, often seen in photos or night vision video footage. Sceptics will say that these little lights are dust particles, small insects or camera flashes bouncing off walls. Believers say that Orbs are tiny balls of light and are the very beginning of a spirit apparition.
05
Do things levitate and does your Medium get possessed?
Well, no and no. That's not how our investigations work. We are a serious team, more often than not investigating peoples private homes. We don't go out to scare the bejesus out of our clients. Paranormal experiences are neevr guaranteed at any of our investigations, if nothing happens, you'll see nothing happen! If however, you'd like to see things fly through the air and Mediums turn into demons, we can point you in the direction of some "fright night" companies....
