What does Gina Lainer Do When she Sees
A Ghost?
Gina Lainer Ghost hunter, Paranormal Investigator
shares her investigation tips.
"Always try to stay as calm as you
possibly can," states, Gina Lanier,
Ghost Hunter/Investigator.
My very first Ghost experience was nothing
really out of the ordinary. I quite simply
saw a man looking at me with a mean sneer.
"I just thought it was a human being
giving a human response to something."
says Gina, matter of fact. Suddenly, as
I turned away, I turned back, he was gone.That
is when I realized it was not a man, but
a real Ghost. I was taken aback. Later that
night, I tried to remember every detail
I notice;, what he wore. his hair his shoes
his smell. Every specific, tiny thing I
noticed that made me realize that this was
a real ghost. From there, as they say, Ghost
Hunting history was made.
I have been told many times
that I am psychic. That is why I see Ghost
as a real person. Others say they see nothing.
I must be one of the very lucky few that see
the ghostly other dimensions, colliding in
our daily world. I have had others say they
see nothing; then take a photo, which only
shows orbs or ectoplasm. But, I insist I saw
what appeared to be as a real live "living"
person in the very spot.
On any ghost hunt please hold fast! Panicking
is not the answer. So often, I tell others
who are Ghost hunting with me, novice or
master Ghost Investigator, to note this
is if you really want to see one of course.
I do want to try to enjoy the paranormal
experience I am having. I want to analyze
it, treasure it and know it to be real.
Most people do not realize they have seen
a real Specter, ghost or entity until after
the fact. Many find that they think it is
just an odd person they have noticed doing
an odd gesture or stance.
My second Ghost encounter was when I thought
I saw a living woman. I was at a large old
funeral home. A well dressed woman in her
late 50's walked by me, smiled and winked
at me as she walked passed. I noticed a
beautiful diamond broach pin on her lapel
and the strong smell of her perfume. Her
hair was beautiful, not a wisp out of place.
Her makeup was flawless. I watched her when
she turned the corner until she walked pass
me. She even winked at me like a nice acknowledgment
of hello. I thought how odd she is not wearing
shoes. I turned around in just a second
as she passed my side, almost brushing against
me to see her from the back, and there was
no one there." That's when I realized
I had seen a real ghost." I walked
around the funeral home trying to find her.
After half an hour, looking for her, I did
not give up. I knew she was there I kept
smelling her perfume. Then, I went into
a different parlor. Another funeral was
going on,(not the one I was attending) It
was there, I found her! There she was, dressed
as before, the perfect hair and the stunning
diamond pin, and perfume filled the air
,that beautiful haunting fragrance. She
was the person in the coffin.
After the event, I went out to my car to
write it down. Relating honestly and exactly
how it all happened. Writing what I saw
and with as much exact detail as I might
remember. I also tried to note the particular
smell of her perfume. The sensations such
as cold spots, gusts of air, slight feelings
of nausea. the music playing or other audible
sounds, voices or conversations in the background.
I also had feelings of being watched or
touched, etc. I always relate what was experienced
by my five senses. Artist by no means, I
try to sketch what I saw.
Drawing and writing about what the Ghost
was wearing, including the style of clothing,
shoes, glasses, hats, etc. Anything that
may give an indication or clue of a particular
time period or era, that Is what I feel
is most important when dealing with Ghost,
or a Haunting from other periods in time.
I feel their history and placing is important.
I often draw a detailed diagram of where
the apparition was seen, and where I was
when the event took place. In haunted houses
or haunted buildings, I note furniture placement
taste, and style. I write about the fabrics,
and window treatment. I note lighting or
other features that are not necessarily
in relation to the sighting. I feel that
you never know what might be the reason
of the haunting and one of these factors
might be part of it. I think no stone should
ever be left unturned.
What time of day the event took place,
the weather conditions and temperature are
very important to a haunting. Some ghost
might be a rainy day Ghost, or morning ghost
, or lunch time ghost. I usually record
all the insignificant, what you might think
general information regarding how the event
made you feel (sad, happy, frightened, etc.).
Also, any pertinent, unusual circumstances
surrounding the Ghostly sighting, including
storms, power outages,and other people working
in the area. I feel, as a Ghost Investigator
documentation is the vital key.
I try to find other people present, or
listen to their stories, including that
of children. I always ask if they own a
pet that might have witnessed the event,
and ask how they have been affected. I always
investigate the experience further then
I think I should, including trying to search
out who the ghost might have been. Why they
haunt the way they do, or where they haunt.
I feel it is good to be skeptical. I attempt
to rule out any explainable cause for the
occurrence. I feel that as a true Ghost
Investigator, one should always strive for
more and try to access an area in great
detail. This is what my Ghost Investigator
creditability is all about.
When investigating a haunting of any type,
I take with me a EMF detector, my 5 different
cameras, two are digital. Four voice recorders,
two are digital and two that are tape, Six
video cameras. Two are video tape, the others
are digital. As for placing digital voice
recorders at a haunting, I will leave one
in an empty room to see what it might collect,
the same for a cameras. I also bring along
batteries, flashlights and meters and all
the usual ghost hunting equipment. The cameras
and recorders are the most important part
of it all.
So, when searching out and investigating Ghost
hauntings, remember, documentation is the
key. And to all I say, "Happy Haunting!"
