Summoning/Drawing Ghosts

Around here you have to know someone to get access to haunted property that isn't yours, and I am not a good ol' boy by any stretch, so that kind of shuts that door for me.

The Ouija board is starting to look like my last resort here.

Oh, crop! It seems as if these places like the cemetery is a likely source, you could perform these tests nearby where you conceivably could draw them? I'd kinda like to know how you've tried drawing spirits/ghosts in the past.

I agree with Daisy. Maybe you need to really find out what ghosts are before you try to gain proof of their existence. They do exist and like living people, do not like to be put on display or "hunted". They are in their own form of turmoil and for whatever reason, are stuck between worlds. It isn't pleasant and usually those that are "haunting" an area, it is because they are trapped due to their own thoughts or actions that they had as an earth being.

There are many "haunted" locations. Simply research them and go with a reputable team. Learn all you can about the "why" and maybe with your respectfulness, they will make themselves known to you.

ETA: there are several Georgia paranormal teams. I'm in the South (Virginia) and we have 2 that do investigations.

Scibat, how about you start out contacting someone nice? Do you have a relative that has passed away and who would help you out if they could? Or.. how about someone you admire that might have been an OK person while alive?

I haven't tried this but it might work: set up your equipment somewhere where you won't get disturbed, then relax and focus your thoughts on an individual and ask (internal voice) politely if they have time for a chat and if they would not mind dropping by for a visit. Explain to them about the equipment and what it is that you want to do and then ask if they can provide you with a sign.

Up until now I have just visited haunted sites (during the day when I can't ge in trouble for trespassing) and took out my DVR and asked questions, politely. ("Is there anyone here?" "Would you like to talk to me?" If I have my Trifield-meter out, I'll also ask them to approach the device in my hand. Stuff like that. Pretty much the standard stuff you see on he ghost hunting shows.)

I haven't went and got a Ouija board yet. Everyone says they're dangerous, but I am kind of getting desperate, so willing to take the risk.

Ironically I was with an investigative team (That is when I got most of my gear). However it was pretty dysfunctional because of drama (Nothing I was involved with) and they had some pretty lax investigative methods, so I left.

The most recent passing was my best friend named Russel, he was a great guy and died in 2007. But I seriously doubt he stayed around, he probably made a beeline for the afterlife (assuming there is one).

(Daisy: I live in North Central GA., no mediums around here that I know of, just a bunch of palm readers. [I couldn't afford one if there was.])

We have mediums here Scibat, admittedly it's not face to face but I know firsthand there is some amazing evidence comes through, have you placed a reading request? It might be worth a try. :)

Alternatively you could learn to meditate.

ouija boards are an often uncontrolled channel. i will never ever use one as my limited experiences were very scarily consistent with horror films.

as for ghosts, i have one here and she is also one of my guides. however she's very VERY shy. if you are even the slightest bit afraid of her, you will not see or hear her, yet friends who have no idea she is here who are not afraid will overhear her talking, or see her walking around the property.

sometimes it's a matter of being calm and patient. malevolent spirits i've found are much more willing to be heard and also harder to deal with if you are not experienced. benevolent spirits are often i've found more shy.

patience - and be sure of what you are dealing with before you dive in head first.

Wise words, cj, I'm glad you said what you did.

Scibat, I am very sorry to read about your best friend. My condolences.
