Finding Haunted Sites

[ImagineDarkness]

Hey All!

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post here.

The question I'm wondering about is how do people find new haunted sites? I'm a bit leary of what seem to be commericialized attempts to promote certain sites as being haunted and such, but imagine that there are probably more investigatable phenomenon outside of the well-known haunts.

So besides urban legends and rumors, where would one start to look for evidence of previously unknown hauntings in a certain locality?

The best option takes a lot of footwork, but it really is worth it:

Just talk to people - make connections (just make sure you do so safely.) Hand out business cards, you may get a hit on that day, or someday down the road. (One of our investigations came from a business card that we handed out 7 months prior)

I start with the library. There are normally some local book that begin by telling tales/claims of place with activity. I also look in newspapers from present and past Halloween times. This may sound cheesy but some places start with local scary stories put out during that time of the year. Then comes the internet...While it makes for a great tool people can post anything and anywhere with generally no one stopping them from publishing false claims. An always remember: Don't just assume because you read about it in a book that it's a public place. Make sure you have permission before going to check out a place with either just you or your your team.
