The Case File Approach helps you and your ghost hunting team organize their research and investigation into a credible report. It follows eight steps:

1. Define the case
2. Conduct historical reconnaissance
3. Identify patterns and personas
4. Investigate the haunt
5. Analyze evidence
6. Cross-verify with witnesses and experts
7. Solve the mystery
8. Publish the report

There’s something creepy about an empty churchyard at night. The wind becomes still, barely rustling the fall leaves. The moon slips behind the clouds to dimly light the star-filled night. A shape moves between the headstones, low and steady, crouching. Most people would shrug it off as a stray dog. But old stories say it’s something else, a phantom black dog guardian called the Church Grim.

In this episode, we explore why ghosts mess with electronics. You'll hear about scientific reasons electronics fail as well as those paranormal theories behind electrical failures.

Woven through out, you get ghost hunting tips, tricks and some personal ghost stories (looking at you Canadian haunted places) about gear failures. So, tune in for the ghostly scoop.
