There’s no shame ghost hunting by yourself. I’ve gone on plenty of investigations alone, and I’ve made plenty of mistakes on solo ghost hunts. When I started, I didn’t have a mentor. I read some books, watched some shows, and then picked up my MEL meter and headed out into the dark. Luckily, I had some street smarts about me because I started in Chicago. Big cities will definitely make your much more aware of your environment, eh?

Anyway, here’s the advice I hope you take to heart as a solo ghost hunter.
