I dont take any props with me when I work as a ghostbuster. Most
people who contact me for help quite frequently assume that I will turn up with a busload of ghostbusting equipment. They think I will be dressed in combat gear, carrying a high-powered wonder gun that sucks up unwanted ghosts and spirits, and that I will have electronic boxes and funny gizmos securely strapped to my back to seek out and combat ghosts. Dont you believe it! That is just stuff you see in the movies. The only thing I use and ever will use, is my sixth sense. Not everything I investigate turns out to belong to the world of the supernatural. A lot of noises, dark shadows and smells can be explained quite easily. I have been called into places where I discovered that footsteps were caused by waterpipes and age-old floorboards which creaked as they were slowly expanding and contracting. Mysterious and interesting voices turned out to be neighbours talking in the corridor. Funny noises in the loft were birds busily nesting in the rafters, and, most commonly of all, ghosts were the lively products of overactive imaginations.
