Starting a Paranormal Investigation Group
You’ve seen paranormal investigation groups on television, and maybe you’ve been exposed to groups in real life as well. Now, you’re ready to start a paranormal investigation group of your own.
What makes a good paranormal investigation team member?
Your first step is going to be to put together a team of paranormal investigators that are both knowledgeable and reliable enough to work with you on your investigations, as well as professional enough to work in public areas around sometimes quite expensive equipment.
The best group will include people with varying backgrounds and skills, as well as a willingness to both learn from other group members, and to teach.
You yourself may want to be the group’s leader, however, it’s not a bad idea to break the leadership role into other roles as well, and add those members to the team too, such as scheduler, and depending on the nature of your group, someone who knows how to handle media, marketing and press.
You’ll want a couple of team members that know their way around electronics, and all the latest paranormal techie gear, that are able to teach other members how to use equipment.
There’s nothing wrong with a large group, because you’ll find that some members are more permanent than others, and others won’t always be available, so leave a little wiggle room, and overbook events while you all get to know each other and build loyalty and longevity.
Where to Look for Paranormal Investigation Team Members
Craigslist can be a great resource for people looking to meet up with other people for any reason. This remains true for paranormal investigation teams. If you’re looking for people with an avid interest in the paranormal, put an advertisement on advertisement on Craigslist, have people tell you what experience they have, and what they can bring to the team.
Get your Paranormal Group Meeting together with the help of the local paper.
Another great place to advertise is the community events section of your local paper. Advertise that you’re starting a ghost hunting team, and looking for new members, offer a solid date and location for the initial ghost hunting meeting.
Advertise your ghost hunting team introduction meeting free on the radio!
If your club is not for profit, most radio stations will even publicize your first meeting for you for free. Contact local radio stations and ask them if you can advertise a non-profit event.
Other fun forms of advertisement involve word of mouth, and neat things like T-Shirts, pens, magnets, pins, and flyers.
Tell everyone you meet, and wear a fun tee-shirt for your team if possible, this is a great conversational tool.
Flyers can be hung in local grocery stores, bars, and anyplace that people gather, you can even hang them on telephone poles and send them to public service radio stations.


In the next photo you will see a yellow line and nothing to show why it would appear. In the area there is a clock that chimed but the lady of the house said to us that it does not chime when the lights are off it has a night mode.
