Does anyone have a paranormal  investigation policy that you can share? We 
have been inundated with requests  for paranormal researchers to “study” 
our historic properties. Before we  proceed further we would like to be as 
informed as possible so if anyone has  any experience with this and any 
policies or guidelines in place that you  could share would be much appreciated. 
Also, how do you deal with insurance  for researchers?  What do you charge?  
Do you make them sign a  waiver? How much control do you have of the 
distribution of information  gathered during the investigation? What kind of 
controls do you put in place?  How do you screen these groups? Is it worth it? Does 
it affect site  visitation? Has income and visibility increased? 
Thanks so much for the  help!
