1.  Private Property cannot be aproached or entered without written permission.  If you are caught tresspassing and get into trouble, you will be removed from the team indefinitely.

2.  The Property owner will always be offered the change to attend the investigation, or have a representative along.  They will also be given a copy of any evidence found on site.

3.  Property owners will govern how the investigation will be conducted.  They may be allowed to set any rules they wish, and can end the investigation at any time they wish.  What they say is final.

4.  Any member who helps to find a site for investigation will be able to attend the investigation, no questions asked.  This also goes for Non-Team members as well.  The Number of Investigators allowed on any given case may be different, so I will do my best to cycle through available investigators.  Ben and Myself being founders for the group will gain priority, so please be patient with us, thanks.

5.  Disagreements happen, but there will be no arguing in front of clients.  If the fighting continues, you may be asked to leave the site.  We do not need clients to see the group in dissaray.

6.  Keep details about personal experiences to yourself while in front of the client until we can confirm, or debunk them.  This will help keep from having false encounters relayed to the client.  Extreme encounters may happen, and well...at that point what are you going to do.  Also, no jumping to conclusions right off the bat.  Give the rest of the team time to evaluate the situation before imaginations go haywire.

7.  Please do not whisper.  It is hard enough to determine EVP's as it is.  If you find that you've whispered, make a verbal note on your recorder.  Also, do not speak too loud, or yell.  Other investigators may pick up your voice from a distance, and create a false EVP. 

8.  If you think you hear something unusual, make a verbal note on your recorder.  This can help validate something was heard. 

9.  If you find yourself having trouble keeping calm or composed, remove yourself from the area, and try not to show how shaken you are to the client.  We don't want to panic them. 

10.  If there are children around or involved, find out from the parents what is appropriate to talk about around them.  If possible, make it a fun learning experience for them.  This may help to keep them calm, and happy.  If you are unsure, simply do not discuss the matters in front of them.

11.  Keep the goofing off to an extreme minimum.  Joking or kidding around in small amounts is ok, but we are conducting a serious investigation, and Goofing can get out of control.  This includes trying to scare one another, or making funny sounds or voices.

12.  If we are at a location as guests to another group, their team leader is in full command of our team.  We will conduct ourselves the way their team leader wishes, or leave the site.

13.  When Ben or Myself are on location, we are in charge.  I am not trying to be on a power trip, but someone has to take up the leadership position.  What we say goes.  If niether of us are around, I may opt to put someone in charge.  Please respect this decision.  I do promise to take into consideration everyone's idea's and opinions.

14.  If a personal experience occurs, tell only one other, and see if anyone else has a similar experience to help validate this.
