How many of you researched the history of Halloween? Did you ever interrogate the presence of the unknown? Does the thought of it attract you enough to visit a haunted house?
While watching a horror movie, we often suggest the group must have taken along with some essential gadgets on their visit to the forest. Being in a very situation might be too late to get such advice from the fellow dreaded mates. Who are we even kidding! The minute you step into the phantom’s den, you’ll probably be a corpse. Camping in far-off areas where the nights are silent and every noise can scare you dead, going unprepared will not end well, my friends.
For some, haunted houses scream terror, but for others, they’re fun and joyous. Whether you’re getting forced to enter a haunted house by your buddies or gladly leading the tribe, we have a few kick-starter tips that’ll help you survive the moment. Who knows, you may come out as history’s bravest ghost slayer, or maybe just a survivor. Regardless, we can prevent you from wetting your pants – yes, there’s no shame in that.
Other than being brave, the key to surviving a dark and creepy house is with the help of a few devices – either traditional or modern. Don’t worry; you won’t have to shop around the supermarket searching for survival-items because our suggested devices are abundantly available anywhere.
So without further ado, let’s walk you through the eleven must-have items for survival before checking into a haunted house. Here we go!
- PORTABLE LED FLASHLIGHT
The most essential that your bag of survival items must-have in a haunted house is a torch. After all, you can’t dodge the creepy stalkers without a flashlight, or can you? Don’t forget to grab extra batteries if you know the haunted house will be a never-ending maze.
- PHONE
We should’ve put this on top, but flashlights are more critical, especially when you have to walk among the nightcrawlers.
But, in every terror-situation, we mostly turn to our phones. Even if you are a ghostbuster, your ghost hunting equipment must contain a phone so that you can call for a backup. So when the horrendous sense of foreboding and heavy breathing occurs, it’s time you put 911 on speed dial. Or you can just call SpiritShack for help.
- NIGHT VISION GLASSES
A haunted house venture is incomplete without polarized night vision glasses! Sure, having a flashlight is a genius idea, but why not make use of technology and wear night-vision goggles?
They’re perfect for seeing the horror that is approaching you, plus they make you look cool even when you get scared to the bone.
- A STURDY RECORDING DEVICE
No one will believe your epic haunted house survival story unless you catch the action on film. Therefore, you will need a helmet camera to get footage of everything that happened during your visit.
Go for the GoPro HERO4 Camera! It features fantastic video frame speed rates and superior processing power – all of which should do the trick.
- A SLEEVELIGHTER
A water-proof sleeve protects the lighter from being ruined and offers flame-throwing without thumb pressure. It’s significant to use because you can light a fire without passing your finger directly over the flame. The fire may not scare the creatures but can be an excellent distracting tool – you can wave it in front of the opponent, and who knows, he might be afraid of fire.
- EARPLUGS
Usually, it’s better to use all of your senses to identify approaching danger. However, a nice pair of earplugs may be a decent addition to your survival kit to protect your areas from the blood-sucking screams of your companion.
- A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER
Let’s face it, students, ghost hunters, and journalists might be the only people who still use a digital voice recorder. But if you’re willing to listen, we can tell you this much: a haunted house venture needs to get recorded to reminisce and analyze later.
It’s fun to record ghostly groans (fake ones, of course) and other sounds with a voice recorder because who knows, you might discover something unusual.
- TEMPERATURE RECORDER
Don’t panic; you’re not going to burn up!
While surveying the haunted house, you might come across a wave of spine-tingling chill – do you know what that means? It means the funny business is over!
Use a thermometer to measure the chills. It will help you check the air temperature of the area and discover pockets of freezing-cold air.
Here’s a secret: a drop of 10+ degrees in one spot is known to be the sweet spot for the ghostly – yikes.
- MOTION DETECTOR
Ghost hunters live for motion detectors! These devices provide alerts for the existence of paranormal bodies. So it goes without saying, you wouldn’t want to walk in a haunted house without knowing there’s a ghost walking behind you, would you? For such detection, we have motion detectors!
- AN EMF METER
Now that an EMF meter has come up, it means that things are about to get real spooky!
EMF meters tend to measure electromagnetic signals for safety reasons. However, ghost hunters have a different theory for its use. Whenever they witness fluctuations outside the normal range, it means there’s a spirit in the room.
Conclusion
Finally, the nightmare is over.
A haunted house aims to shock the living hell out of you; however, the root of this is to filter out ghosts. You may be worried and frightened the whole time, but when you think about it later, you and your partner will look back at it and laugh.
So enjoy getting your adrenaline pumping while feeling the scare. Be proud of yourself that you are taking full advantage of the season of frights.
Furthermore, if none of those mentioned above items help you subsist this ordeal, revert to the traditional techniques for fighting demons – screaming and running away – which is a wrong move!
Just trust us, will you? Pack your haunted house survival gear with all the items mentioned above, and you will get through it all successfully. Good luck!
