Q&A for How to Find a Ghost

A Ouija Board is a board featuring the letters of the alphabet and the numbers 1-10. The Ouija Board is used to communicate with spirits.The board includes a planchette, which is a heart-shaped, flat piece of wood used to reveal mysterious messages from the spirits. You (and your friends) place your fingers on the planchette, ask questions, and the spirit moves the planchette to respond. The Ouija Board also has a "yes" and a "no" section and the word "goodbye" to stop the conversation.

Get away from them and contact a priest to do an exorcism. Peacefully moving around an area, a white patch on a picture, and a few bumps in the night now and then are perfectly fine, but possessing someone is crossing the line into dangerous.

Yes, young people can look for ghosts.

People usually take up to a night to capture some footage, but it can take a while before you get any signs of ghosts.

Yes. Ghosts come to places they used to live and love, and if that's your house, they could be found there.

In case it's a real person and not a ghost, grab some kind of weapon and slowly follow the figure. If it's a ghost, try to record it on video. Otherwise just leave it alone and it will go away eventually.

You could go alone or in a group -- it doesn't matter. But, try going with one or two people and no more, in case the spirit is shy (they may not want to show themselves to a lot of people). Keep in mind that a spirit needs a lot of energy to fully manifest.

Yes, if you use it correctly.

Does a girl live in another apartment? Find out first before blaming it on things that go bump in the night.

It really depends on the type of spirit it is. If it is residual (meaning it is just an echo of someone who used to live there, or possibly the same event over and over), there isn't much to be done. If it is an intelligent entity, you will need to discern their intentions towards you (if any). Anything that is not a negative entity is likely to live peacefully with you, or leave if asked in a respectful manner. Negative entities more likely need to be removed using various rituals. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you can go to a member of your clergy (priest, shaman, imam, rabbi, monk, pastor, coven leader, etc.) and request their help.

Yes. That's a good starting point. You don't need expensive equipment to go ghost hunting.

Not all people believe that ghosts work in terms of the dead being 'trapped' or just hanging out in a physical location. When a living person visits a mortuary, they are confronted with the physical realities of death; depending on what you believe, that could mean mortuaries carry a sort of energy that bring the spirit world closer to the world of the living. In that case, the ghost is not 'haunting' the mortuary; the ghost is in the realm of the dead, and the mortuary acts as a window into that realm.

It's certainly possible. We don't know for sure how ghosts work and what they are capable of. However, hallucinations also will be 'seen' by a person but won't show up on camera, so be careful.
