Hey All-
A couple of thoughts for you. I don't know how big the meetup group that did the investigation was but sometimes when you have a big group of people who do not know eachother very well, you can't tune in to the energy in the place that you are investigating. A couple of good rules of thumb for the investigation are not to go in one BIG group of people to one area. Split up. If it is a fairly small area, use groups of two. Have one person record information such as temp, conditions, happenings, emf readings etc. Have the other person operate that equipment and take pictures. Set a time limit for that area, i.e. 15 min, then switch areas. Have the other group do the same thing. If possible- Set up cameras and let them run. (yes sort of like ghost hunters) You can get special filters and light attachments for most video cameras that will help with night shots. I know that my camera's night shot is kind of crap. When you are recording or doing evp, use two recorders. I use digital because sometimes if you use magnetic tape, it gets distorted and sometimes, you can pick up internal noise as well like the reels winding the tape.
Go through ALL of the evidence before making an assesment. Write reports and keep them to refer back to or reread if you investigate the same place more than once. Compare your notes in a group setting a week or so later. You may have had the same experience as someone else and can validate the event.
As far as pictures go------ If you feel like there is something in it, there probably is. Play around with it, lighten or darken it, adjust the contrast and color. You may be able to pick something up. Take hundreds, thousands, millions of pictures. You can always erase your sd card if they are all crummy but the more you take, the better your chances are.
Don't discount personal experiences. Don't rush to judgement but pay attention to what is happening and how things around you feel. Make sure to write it down and take pictures of the event if possible.
Also, Old does not equal haunted. New does not equal not haunted.
