Locating Ghosts

Before you can catch a ghost, you first need to know where to find one. Luckily, most places will have an abundance of haunted spots -- from ancient cemeteries and abandoned schools, to old battlefields and former insane asylums

 Look for ghosts in old houses. Old houses (like 100 or 200 years old, not from the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s) are good places to look for ghosts.

• Sometimes when a person dies, their spirit will return to the place where they died or a place they can't bear to leave behind, which is often their family home.
• These spirits are not usually malevolent (unless their death was violent), so household ghosts are a good place to start for the rookie ghost hunter.
• Just be sure to get permission before you go ghost hunting on private property.

  Look for ghosts in cemeteries. Cemeteries are another good location for ghost catching, even if they can be a little creepy at night!
• Sometimes, ghosts cannot bear to leave their physical bodies behind after death, while other spirits (particular those who haven't been able to move on) come to visit the graves of their family and friends.

Look for ghosts in old schools. Some of the best locations for ghosts are places where large numbers of tragic deaths occurred, such as old schools, prisons, and asylums.

• Not all schools are haunted, but you may have an old school building in your area where students or teachers died due to tragic accidents like fires or smoke inhalation (this was more common in the days when classrooms were heated by iron stoves).
