I’m A Cozy Ghost Hunter ... And That’s Fine By Me
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
Cozy ghost hunting treats an investigation like a mystery to solve. You follow a haunted lead, find clues, present evidence, and try to solve the case. There's more emphasis on having a small team and on experiments that prove the ghost's identity and motivation.
On a side note, I'll make more podcasts like this informative one or tutorials for ghost-hunting techniques, evidence analysis, and ghost-hunt reports. There will be ghost stories but not as often as before.
