Our group is doing a house tonight that is known to be haunted...here is the kicker. We worked with a local radio station about this. They gave away 5 spots for people to join us. 5 people that have no idea what to do...no meeting before hand...no idea who they are. Just show up and spend 5 hours in this historic house.
I have no problem with showing and sharing paranormal stuff those new to it. I am worried that because this place has activity, that having people that have no idea what they are doing and will will ruin evidence...or take this whole thing as a joke..or just be looking for a thrill and be busy goofing off. (I am a giant goof off myself...but not when it comes to this) It is time to get some evidence.
I always tell people NOT whisper...and then I catch myself whispering to myself. "Dude...something is going on." Was that an EVP?...nope...me being a dumb ass...damnit. Now how do I stress to a group of people...do not whisper?
Would it be wrong for me to say to a group of people I don't know to say...ok guys..I know you are here to have some fun, and you won your spot and all...but this is serious. If you want to go outside and take a break and joke around...hey I am there with you. But when inside...no games, no acting to our cameras no playing around...don't tamper with our recorders or equipment.
And my biggest concern...what if something does happen? Somebody see's something, hears something, gets touched (or worse)...I know my first time...it took everything in me not to haul ass. This is why I wish we could have sat down with the group beforhand...hey..this might happen...don't flip out...these are the ground rules and so on and so on.
Maybe I am over thinking stuff right now...I tend to do that. If we make mistakes just within our group is one thing...but being with people outside our group and looking like idiots is something else. I am not serious about life at all...but when it comes to this..I am. I hope this just does not turn out to be a giant waste of time...I need to go and get ready...I have wanted to do this house for a long time..it is important to me.
