NYPAPS New York Pennsylvania Paranormal Society

                                                                 

Standards and Protocols

 These are our standards and protocols for going on an investigation with NYPAPS

 

~      research the location's history and background before you go there.  After you go you may and should go back to your historical society and double check anything you feel should be checked.  HISTORY IS IMPORTANT!

~     Never go alone or wander off by yourself.

~     NEVER go if you are not feeling up to par!  (if you are tired, sick, scared don't go)

~    Say the opening prayer

~  When you arrive at the location introduce yourself to the spirits. Let them know you are not going to hurt them.

~     No whispering during an investigation.  This can be mistaken for an evp.  If you whisper accidently just be sure to say I just whispered or whoever is with you say he just whispered. 

~    Please do not where any perfumes. 

~   Do not trespass ask permission and let the police know who and what you are doing.  A cemetery closes at dusk ask if you can go after hours.

~   Always be polite to them they were human once.

~    Do not go on an investigation during rain, snow, or foggy conditions.

~    If we are in a home or building please wait for dust to settle before taking pictures.  Please respect the owners rights,  wishes and properity.

~    Take off any wrist strap that is on your camera. Tie back long hair.

~     Don't take pictures of lights, towards sun or towards a full moon.

~    If on a dirt road don't take pictures while cars are going by you or you're walking.  I said before, this is not a portal just a dust storm.

~    No ruff housing on any investigations.  Have respect for spirits and property. Yes have fun but lets make it calm and appropriate.

~   Make sure cam corder is on night vision.

~    If walking with camcorder watch where you are walking.

~    New batteries and tapes on every investigation.

~    When asking questions stop and listen for a minute or two.

~    During an investigation keep a positive attitude.  Good spirits will sense your fear and may stay away so as not to scare you. They really don't want to scare anyone.  Inhuman (evil) will feed off your fear and will use it against you.

~    Don't provoke spirits or say mean and nasty things to them.

~ No alcohol or drugs you leave yourself open to see things that aren't there.  You are also vulnerable for the inhuman spirits.

~    No Ouija boards, seances, or spell book.  We don't approve of them at all.

~  When leaving always thank the spirits for their time and patience.  Tell them good bye and say your closing prayer.
