Training and
Information
1. There is no substitute for training. (Having seen
     every episode of TAPS does not qualify as training,
    I am sure Grant and Jason would agree with that.)

2. Knowledge, faith, a positive out look, and true calling to
    help others is the only defense you have for yourself  
    in a haunted or paranormal location.

3. Whatever you do know when to back away from a
    situation, and ask for help from a more experienced
    person or group. Your actions can make the situation
    worse; you can unknowingly bring their problems
    home with you. You may be a total skeptic until it is
    proven to you that there is an unseen world. When it
    happens to you, when you see an apparition, when you   
    are touched, scratched or hit. You need to have
    knowledge base to handle that situation.

4. Start with studying the religions and beliefs of the
    world and in particular the beliefs of the person you
    are trying to help. Religions

5. Learn from others their knowledge and their mistakes. I
    would much rather learn from someone else's mistakes
    than suffering through the mistake myself. If you
    are kind and respectful most people love sharing what
    they know.
