Make the most of your Ghost Tour
You’ve decided to take a walk on the dead side - the other side of the veil - the ghost side - the boo side - ok, ok…
Dude, keep an open mind! - You’re here for a reason. Maybe the loved one dragged you, maybe its a dare, maybe you wanted to come, whatever the reason, you’re paying good money - so at least keep an open mind - you’ll be surprised what you might find along the way.

When taking photos - take stretches when you’ll take 2-3-4 photos in a quick row. Orbs and such tend to show up on one, but not the others, and you can compare the moments.
Take “wild” and “unplanned” shots. Just point the camera in a direction & start shooting. You’ll be surprised how things will show up in these - sometimes more than “planned” or “set’ photos.

Get people in some shots, but not all. Ghosts are supposed to need our energy, so if you get a person in the shot, especially a person the ghost “might be drawn to” you could come up with something - when we went on our tour, Assistant Laura, who is very good and who is loved by children, especially little girls, was the perfect person to include when we were looking for a little 7 year old girl in a park. I kept taking photos with Laura and sure enough, Isabella showed up when Laura invited her to swing.
Listen to the story the guide is telling, but take photos while (if they let you) they are talking. The stories themselves may draw the ghost into activity, and the person telling the story could be the center of the ghost’s attention.
In this altered shot (to see things a bit better we changed the brightness) we counted 3 orbs after Laura invited Isabella to swing. Copyright 2009 Rochelle Paul.
Try something to draw the ghost out. Ok, I love watching Ghost Adventures, and Zac (the host) loves to yell and taunt the ghosts. I’m not totally into that style, but it works for him - sometimes too well.
When we were out, and we were along the railroad tracks where southern soldiers during the Civil War were shipped home in their coffins, I tried to call to them by whistling Dixie. It worked. I did it with respect and was simply trying to share the moment with their spirits, and at least two or three orbs showed up.
I caught these 2 orbs while I was whistling Dixie. Copyright 2009 Rochelle Paul.
Be respectful. Whether you believe or not, certainly there are those on the tour who do. And you’re trying to reach out to ghosts - spirits of those who’ve passed on. Show some respect.
