trigger sounds

hi all
many people leave trigger objects on investigations with varying degrees of succsess, also sounds can be used to encourage activity,
has anyone used trigger sounds and if so what was your results?

cheers

Hi Laura,
Sound Triggers are something that I am really getting into lately.
Because I don't pick up on the psychic goings on at locations, I tend to concentrate on experiments and the like: Trigger objects, sounds etc. After a bit of research into a location's history I compile a group of sounds including music, speeches and general noises related to the site.
It may be just coincidence, but recently at Woodchester Mansion I played some (genuine) 1940's Big Band music and, although nothing extraordinary happened that night, it was reported that subsequent nights had increased activity in that particular area of the Mansion.
I say, try it and see. You never know what may happen.
We're also keen to explore different types of lighting to capture evidence: UV, strobe, red lights etc.
I've got a few things lined up for Coalhouse Fort this weekend so I'll keep you posted on what happens....
Cheers,
Ian

Hi Im a big fan of using trigger sounds, at Maes we use 1940's music and this has given us a few good results.

Let us know how you get on Ian at coal house.
