What are Astral Critters? Is a ghost good or evil?
Many times, as paranormal investigators our team gets asked questions if something can follow us home. After several days of researching this PD LLC says yes. From time to time there are situations that a spirit can follow a person home from a haunted location. But the good news is that many times it is not bad as it seems. As paranormal investigators Phantom Detectives LLC believes the astral world stays with us.
Phantom Detectives LLC Methodoloy
Phantom Detectives gives all prospective clients a questionnaire over the phone before we visit our client’s location. Our questionnaire that we have developed normally takes 15-20 to
administer. It serves as a dual-purpose questionnaire. Once we have our clients tell us the claims of activity, it allows us to gather information about the paranormal activity/history of the location. Based upon the information that the client gives us over the phone, we can determine if this location is worth investigating. Most importantly we need to ensure that a member of PD is entering each of our client’s environments along with respect.

There are four types of hauntings that Phantom Detectives LLC investigate while on paranormal investigations. These are residual, intelligent, poltergeist, and inhuman. We deal each of these in different ways through our training. Here are the definitions of each and what kind of activity is triggered from them.
