- Never ghost hunt alone.

 - Always let someone know where you will be.

 - Always carry I.D.

 - If you feel uncomfortable leave!

 - Get permission before going onto private property or in cemeteries after hours.

 - Reschedule your hunt if it is going to snow, rain, or be foggy. Also check the pollen count. 
    Moisture and Pollen cause anomalies in photos.
 
- If you have a large group, break into pairs, or smaller groups.

 - Carry walkie talkies or cell phones. You never know, you might need them.

  - Don't use alcohol or drugs before or during an investigation,  
    Don't smoke near where you are investigating. Make a designated spot to smoke. 
    You don't want the smoke to appear in the photographs.
 
 - When recording EVP's never whisper. Talk in a normal voice.  
   You won't scare the ghosts if you talk. You don't want to mistake a human 
    voice for a spirit.
 
 - Always use new tapes in the recorder.

- Have extra batteries and make sure equipment is fully charged.

- Wear a watch so you can time when an event happens.

- Wear clothing suitable for the weather and comfortable shoes.

- Don't wear perfume or cologne while hunting. If using using insect repellent, 
  make sure it is unscented. Some people have noticed scents or smells 
  when there is ghost activity.
 
- Tie back long hair. When a piece of hair gets in front of the camera lens 
  it will look like a vortex.

 - Keep camera lenses clean. Lint, dust specks, smudges, and fingerprints can look
  like mist, orbs, and other ghostly anomalies.

- Be aware of the temperature when photographing outdoors or in unheated buildings. 
  Hold your breath while taking a photo and for a few seconds afterwards. Remember,  
  if you can see it so can the camera.
 
- Look for things in the way like spiderwebs, wire, ropes, tree limbs, etc. 
  They can appear as something paranormal when they are in close range of the camera.
