Some Thoughts On Ghost Hunters And Trespassing

To put to rest one of the stupidest arguments I've heard from Ghost Hunters that break into seemingly abandoned places... "Well, there were no signs saying No Trespassing so it must have been okay to go there!"... this is POPPYCOCK! Does your home have a "No Trespassing" sign in the front window or lawn? Does your office or workplace? Do most suburban homes? Does your doctor's office? Are there signs that say "No Murdering" and if those signs are not around, is killing okay then? In the eyes of the law, ignorance is no excuse. All property is OWNED by someone (public land is "owned" by the crown in Canada). Chances are, those owners do not want you wandering about their space or, even with public spaces that can be visited, they want you to adhere to scheduled hours and rules. To not do that and/or to not get permission is against the law and is a criminal act.

You should also keep in mind that if a building is abandoned it could be that way for a very good reason that has zero to do with the supernatural. Older buildings potentially are filled with Asbestos, and your ghost hunting activities could eventually lead to mesothelioma a very real and scary health issue.

I agree, silly people. Get permission. The only people who don't want permission are those who don't know what they are doing anyway.
