How about some ghost hunting this weekend? How to catch them - on film.

Do you believe in ghosts? 

If a picture of one would help convince you, paranormal researcher Stephen Wagner has some tips on how to capture one on film. First, you’ll need to go where the ghosts are. While a cemetery may seem like a logical haunt, Stephen doesn’t believe they hang out there much. He says you’re better off in a house or building, especially if a ghost presence has been reported there. It doesn’t have to be dark either. Stephen says most of the best ghost appearances in photos were actually taken in daylight. 

Many ghost hunters recommend you ask permission. Say something like “Is anyone here? I invite you to show yourself in my pictures.” Some ghosts just can’t resist. Don’t waste your time on photographing empty spaces or closets. Ghosts like people and tend to follow us around. Ask a friend to pose with potential ghosts and you might both get lucky. When reviewing your photos, look for these ghostly elements:

* Orbs - these are the most common captures. It usually looks like a white ball, however it can also be a different color. 

* Thick mist - some ghosts prefer to appear in the form of a fog, that wouldn’t normally appear in the photo.

* Human forms - these are known as apparitions and are actual bodies or body parts of ghosts. It takes a lot of energy for a ghost to appear like that so consider yourself lucky if you capture one.
