Okay so I was thinking about going on some "ghost hunting" trips here this year and thought I would throw the idea out here first. The thing is that even though I practice reaching out to various entities and such I don't generally get the best or most reliable results at all. Certainly nothing evocation wise, but that's because I don't do it. Anyway I was thinking it might be easier to work in the right direction if I could practice communication in some way with ghosts and such. I see this as sort of trying to learn to operate a cell phone (ie magic) but not knowing if I am dialing right because even when I do dial right no one is at the other end. So why not go where someone might pick up?
Anyway Ohio is home to a bunch of supposedly haunted places and I'm sure I could do this with friends (who are in no way interested with magic at all but would go anyway I'm sure). So I am wondering has anyone else done anything like this? Any advice, comments, or thoughts?
I have no idea where this would take place yet but if I plan now this could easily become a reality for the upcoming summer.
EDIT: oh and I hope I posted this in the right area...

Ghost hunting...fun stuff. Probably the first thing to do would be to find a place that has a high probability of being haunted. Then, if you can arrange it, spend some time in that place alone with a tape recorder; I've heard more than once that the easiest way of collecting evidence of "ghosts" is by using a tape recorder. I've actually done this at a haunted location, and even picked up a voice. It shatters your sense of reality to personally collect that kind of data, even if you continue to remain skeptical. You can use a tape recorder to pick up voices sometimes in ceremonial magick too, by the way. Ultimately one is supposed to get good enough at working on the astral plane that one doesn't need extra technology. But there's nothing like summoning an entity and having an audio file of it roaring at you to back up the experience.

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." --- Stephen Hawking
Therefore, God is a monkey.

Well, first i'd like to say hi, it's nice to be back, i've been very busy so haven't had time (or a working computer) for a while.
Secondly, what do you really want out of this experience? because my guess is that you actually want all your friends to get really scared, see stuff, hear stuff and for the occasional flying cup to smash on the wall. If that is the case (which their is nothing to be ashamed about) then i suggest you be quite up-front about it so you can set the rules for the encounter. Spirits an ghosts are often very unlikely to play unless you give them the go-ahead, they might be too competent to scare people for sustenance, they might be royally jinxed by a skeptic or simply have no motive for it This is how i would do it.. if that's what you want.. Before the encounter visulise or feel a nice big aura around you, then let your perception encompass the rest of your surroundings, then incorporate your intention. Your intention should be something along the lines of; protect the spirits identity (stop the observations of others an yourself from actually sensing it's presence), To allow the spirit to use your raised energy as a complimentary tool for playing with, essentially allowing the spirit to channel with your aura, Set the rules i.e. 'scare everyone witless! but don't hurt us or make us hurt eachover' . Lastly, emotions power stuff like this and since your friends will be interacting with this aura before the ghost dose it would be quite prudent to wip your friends up into a powerful state of anticipation beforehand. Make the intentions energy quite happy, social an a bit funny for your friends or they just won't interact with it.
Basically, making weird stuff happens, putting on a show, is expensive, treat the ghost as the host of a party, bring a bottle, keep conversation headed in the right direction etc.. Even if you an the ghost are the only one's seeing the funny side, remember that's the whole point! it's got to be entertaining for them!
Obviously ghost aren't really spirits and might not see the funny side or might be really traumatic or otherwise in need of help, in that case, do what you can, have compassion. I've never done this btw, just an educated guess as to what your after, I've got plenty ghost stories already.
