My sister and I have been hunting ghosts pretty much all our lives and today we brought up a subject we've never discussed before and I wondered if anyone else ever experiences it too. After you go on a ghost hunt and you've opened yourself up to try to "feel" things, "see" things, "hear" things out in some dark cemetery or the like, when you get home, does it seem like you are aware of more sounds in your own house than you can explain? or catch things out of the corner of your eye that you can't explain? Does it seem like maybe people who do this kind of thing draw spirits (or whatever you want to call them) to you? i don't think i would go so far to say we bring things home with us, but it seems that afterwards for a while anyway, we are far more sensitive.

Well pahaska, I certainly think that with few exceptions everyone will be a little more sensitive after a hunt. You're concentrating very hard out there, bringing each nerve to attention, and you don't immediately shut down after that. Your brain will continue to function in that heightened state for hours afterwards. This is a familiar feeling to anyone who's crammed, played too much Tetris (we called it "Tetris Head"), or done any other activity that required a heightened focus. I even get the same effect after my hockey games; I've scored many a hatrick in my mind during the twilight between waking and sleeping. It's a concentration hangover of sorts. _________________ Show us your Orbs!!!

Im used to seeing spirits on a regular basis, tho always unexpectedly. That hasnt changed any after Hunts. However, since I have been hunting, I am starting to hear things. I have been wondering if the hunting had anything to do with that _________________ "Frankly, Scallop...I dont give a clam!"

As I have read these boards on the 2 months of being on, the same thing keeps popping up in my mind. I need to stress the importance of saying a prayer of protection (no matter what religion), as you open your lives and minds to the unseen. There is a lot of bad energy and inhumans out there waiting for the amature and even the experienced.

I don't think we're more in tune with the spirits, per se, but more in tune with nature as a whole. When we go on a hunt, we tend to reopen our senses to the primal levels, which are higher than normal levels for most humans. Similar cases can be attributed to undergoing hypnosis. In a recent study, when the subject is "under", parts of their conscious and subconscious brain actually function a lot better than when awake.
The same goes with the wild. When a predator stalks its prey, it becomes more in tune with the sights, sounds, everything in the environment around it. It picks its target, say a small rodent, and will pay more attention to every single detail of the prey's actions and appearances. Since we, as ghost hunters, readjust our senses to these same levels, then we are more capable of seeing or hearing things that we could not see or hear before.
And as a side effect, we might tend to think a lot more clearly in some cases, and start taking a whole different perspective of things.
Ever since I have started hunting, I have started seeing things out of the corner of my eyes, orbs mostly. Once in a while I might "hear" a conversation going on just as I'm falling asleep, and no, I didn't leave the radio or TV on.
As another bonus, the more we do it, the more we are used to it, and sooner rather than later, some small portion of the other 90% of our brains we don't use starts powering up, for lack of better terms. _________________ PRG

When I first starting hunting I remember that when it came time to go to sleep. That every noise in the house seemed so much louder. I would think I would hear voices and see things move. But I think I was still pumped up from the ghosthunt. But now I have noticed that I still sometimes hear something or see something out of the corner of my eye even if I haven't been ghosthunting. But I'm not freaked out about it. I guess it's like PRG said you get used to it.

I used to get that "jumpy" feeling after a hunt. Almost like the senses got really heightened and then are trying to come down. Now I don't even notice it. Hmmm.... _________________ "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" - Les Brown

Im still up in the air about being more sensitive after a hunt. If I am it hasnt been enough for me to take notice. I can say that since I have been hunting I have experienced new things that I never have before. I dont know if its from opening myself up even more than previously or if its just coincidence or related to my move from CA to GA. You know, different location, different activity. _________________ "Frankly, Scallop...I dont give a clam!"

Patrick: I am wondering if when we are sensitive to "spirit," if we are using a different side of the brain. This would be the "creative - suppressed" side in most of us. I have theorized that this side of the brain might identify and "connect" directly to the spiritual; while the other side identifies more readily with the physical.
A year ago, I studied quite a bit about this, but have not posted these thoughts on A&G, yet.
