hey im still around, just work alot, i live in augusta, ga, and yes this was my first ghost hunt, in any capacity. i have to say that i wasnt totally crazy about having app. 13 folks per group, altho the group i was in seemed full of first time "investigators" also...so for the most it was a quiet setting. my mother and i had made up our mind we were goin all out, altho shy for the most, and asked lots of questions, trying to break the ice some and encourage others to participate also. our group leader is in a paranormal research group and was totally cool, helpful, and had great equipment. now that i have been to an investigation, i know better how things go and what to expect, and ways to do things next time. we are already checking out places online to see if we can visit in the near future. i loved every minute and experience i had, just wanted more time, and a tad less people =)
