Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, keep an open mind for what you’re about to encounter on your ghost tour. Make it a point to understand the history and stories behind such ghostly experiences, so you know who it is that you’re trying to contact.
You should also remain respectful, no matter your beliefs. If you’re a non-believer, keep your scepticism to yourself, so as not to ruin the experience for others. If you do believe, don’t let your imagination get the best of you. Try to stay rational and follow your guide’s instructions when interacting with the locations or any of the instruments, so as not to startle any entities or your fellow ghost hunting tourists.
