I’ll start right off by saying ghost hunting isn’t nearly as exciting as it looks on T.V. Those guys on the T.V. shows do a lot of investigating and researching and studying that never makes it onto the screen.
I’ve been on some ghost hunts that took four or six hours. There were eight people on one and twenty something on another. Everyone had equipment to record or photograph or video tape as they moved about. Just to make things easy let’s say there are ten investigators. And the investigation runs five hours. That fifty hours of investigation. Fifty hours of audio and visual evidence that has to be gone over.
It will take a lot longer than fifty hours to go over everything because you have to go back and forth if you spot something or hear something. You might have to run a tape back five or six times before realizing it was someone coughing and not an EVP.
