If you plan to investigate a haunted house or other spooky place always obtain permission from the owner. Be sure that anyone there is aware of your visit so there are no misunderstandings. Also, make sure that you have people with you and exercise common sense and caution. It is possible to injure yourself in an old run down building so always place safety first.
