Bring a reliable light
A headlamp with a red filter preserves night vision and frees your hands for equipment; bring spare batteries.
Wear quiet, sturdy shoes
Expect wooden porches, uneven sidewalks, and short walks between points—closed-toe shoes with grip make the night more comfortable.
Charge electronics and bring backups
Cameras and EMF meters drain quickly—carry power banks and extra memory cards if you plan to record.
Respect private property and residents
Many investigation sites are private homes or active businesses—follow the guide’s boundary rules and keep noise to a minimum.
