Reading a Gravestone in darkness or poor light?

[Gareth]

Most people who are serious about the Paranormal should know or may not be aware of one of the easiest methods to view a gravestone in either poor or non existant light.

Sometimes reading it can be a nightmare!

I had a member of the public ask me the question on howto read one and i'd like to share this little trade secret!

Instead of holding a torch at it direct which proves to show little or no results, try holding the light from the side of the stone shinning sideways across the stone. Not many people seem to know this little trick.


It is not secret as such but proves very invaluable for investigations if you are trying to read an awkward gravestone.

Hope this helps anyone else. I'd thought i would share it as it I find it a useful tip.

Some people don't realise and some do more than others. You have to appreciate we all had to start from somewhere. Not everyone who is on this forum or site has much experience. Some more than others.

but on your site one person states they have 12 years of expereince? so please think about your comments

That is a very valid comment tjsprt. I can understand where your comming from. What i am trying to do is put my point accross that we have some 'newbies' ask us alot of questions.

I made this post in regards to a very nice gentleman who asked me the question whilst i was out shopping strangley enough. This gentleman didn't have much experience as he was just starting out in this field.

I though that i would be a good idea to share it due to the fact some people just don't have as much as experience as yourself or our founding member Paul of 12 years.

All though it is pretty much common sense it comes with experience which some people just don't have.

True that not everyone is experienced but everyone has common snese though. Please try not to assume we are all inexperienced and that others ideas could be very interesting to each team. We at sprt have spent 2 years planning our team and are now reaping the rewards.
