| | | | Tips for not getting caught? < on 5/22/2019 7:26 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | Hello! Please go easy on us--We're new to urban exploring. We started off investigating "haunted" places but we want to take it a bit further and include some abandoned houses/buildings as well. We're located in Wisconsin at the halfway point between Milwaukee and Madison, but willing to travel. Some of the precautions we take are to find a place in public to park the vehicle, where it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb to the authorities and nosey neighbors. We then walk to the places we're investigating to stay under the radar. We try to go late at night and wear dark clothing when possible. Any other tips for not getting caught? Here's a link to our website if anyone wants to check it out: http://wttnarea.wix.com/paranormal Thanks in advance, Nate

| | | Posted by ryanpics If I ever go at night, it's gonna be at 3 am. If the spot is hard enough that I need to go at night then I want 0 chance of being seen. But if you are used to going at night and it helps your investigating, then keep doing it. Just don't try to go full spy mode and jump out from behind bushes and all that other stealthy stuff. I personally haven't experienced anything paranormal in my few days of exploring, and I don't believe in ghosts (sorry if you don't like that term, I just need something more specific than paranormal). Most of the places I like probably wouldn't be seen as haunted purely because of their original purpose. Anyways, have fun doing what you do!
| Lord Rick lost one of his ghost hunters on a road to a drunk driver that they were walking down leading to a cemetery. A ghost hunter became a ghost, success. One sewer hole missing it's cover in a unfamiliar field of tall grass will teach you why to do recon in the daylight. Predawn locations that are hard to get in then wait for daybreak once inside.Only locations that are always dark and don't leak light justify night missions. Hellholes maim and kill. What you don't see, you most likely can't avoid... & Cops know the vandals and the bad guys come out at night. In many areas cops deliberately step up patrols at night.

| Dark clothing in and of itself is not a bad thing. But my advice is not to wear all black clothing. If you get stopped on the street by security/police, it's more difficult to talk your way out of the situation. Wearing ninja-quantities of black will make you more suspicious, and more difficult to talk your way out of a situation. Dark or navy blue is a much better alternative. If a cop shines his light on you, it just looks like you're wearing normal blue clothes, which aren't immediately suspicious (most of the time, anyways). Another benefit to dark shades of blue is that it can sometimes appear even more invisible in darkness than black. Black can sometimes stand out against a night background. Blue, paradoxically, sometimes just disappears entirely, making it a much better all-around camouflage than black. But probably the best advice is what has already be stated. Do your scouting in the day, and try to do your exploring then too. It is 1000 times easier to convince a cop you're out for an innocent hike if the sun is shining. There are 1000 times more questions to answer if you need to justify why you're hiking in a weird place at night. Good luck with your explorations!

| | | Posted by tniz I think the tips on not having too much gear and not looking suspicious are spot on. My opinion on running is if it’s security and you think you can outrun them—go for it. I’m not someone who would run from a LEO because—Unnecessary running is really not something they seem to enjoy. 2. If you do end up getting caught by one it’s a lot harder to downplay that you didn’t know what you were doing was wrong or illegal/ they are a lot less likely to want to show any kindness and if possible I want to maintain a clean criminal record (while still exploring as much cool shit as possible). I’ve been caught once and had great luck with being semi-honest and apologetic. I said I stumbled on the place and it looked interesting and I was just curious to take a look around. We were just told to leave because we were trespassing. No tickets or bag searches. There could absolutely be privilege at play or maybe we the LEO’s we encountered were feeling friendly that day. I had a friend from high school who was doing a group explore and when they came out of the building there were LEO’s waiting for them. He tried to run and ended up being charged with possession of burglary tools, intent to commit burglary, and evading arrest on foot. The rest of the group got trespassing tickets. TL;DR do your best to avoid looking sketchy and if you’re caught try not to make a bad situation worse.
| Packing pro gear never hurts the impression you make. Tripods are a liability though. Lol, walk softly and carry a big cam. Do your thing. The more you look like a pro shooter, the easier it generally is. WYSIWYG, being dead honest with the LEOs and owners has served me well. Has gotten me invites and into places accessible no other way. Offer to share your photos, very few will take you up on it but it helps to break the ice. If it seems like a bad idea, it probably is. Remember that in general and -before- you slam the shutter release. Not taking one image has saved me a lot of grief more then once; show respect to your subjects and LEOs.
