If we do not obtain permission for a semi-private property, such as restaurants or Inns, we will post the results without giving specific information pertaining to location, and fictitious names will be used.
- Silence is maintained during an EVP session, except for the person assigned to asking questions. If someone does make a noise, they note it in a loud clear voice so the noise can be identified when reviewing the recording. No whisper rule is very important to keep from misidentifying possible EVP.
- Trust your gut instinct if a situation does not feel right use your best judgement there is no shame in admitting a situation is more difficult then you can handle. If something is too intense exit professionally and gather your emotions again before proceeding.
