S.G.H.S Investigation Protocols and Guidelines

1.  Arrive at the client’s site 2-3 hours prior to starting the investigation. This will allow for a team briefing about the history of the site; reported hotspots of paranormal activity; primary emf sweeps of the location; equipment DVR setup etc.. All investigators for the evening must wear their personal ID tags.

 2. Interview the client and record their personal experiences and reported activity possibly any potential Health & Safety issues pertaining to the site.

3. Tech team investigators to conduct a series of baseline tests i.e. EMF readings, ambient air temperatures which are to be recorded onto a log sheet. 

   4. All investigators will aid in the set up of equipment, experiments etc. The setup period could take up to 1 hour depending on the location and complexity of the investigation requirements.
