Did the GHOST Die in a Natural Disaster?
Did the GHOST Die in a Natural Disaster?In my upcoming book: GHOST HUNTERS RESEARCH GUIDE
TO FREE INTERNET SOURCES I devote Chapter 6 to researching deaths that occurred from shipwrecks and natural disasters. In this week's blog I address just one of numerous resources that are in the book pertaining to deaths that are the result of natural disasters.
When investigating a circumstance/haunting that may involve a person who died in a natural disaster it is critical to keep in mind:
1. Unless a person is known to have died or was listed as missing, as a casualty in a natural disaster it is extremely difficult to verify the person's involvement and subsequent injury, death or disappearance.
2. Not all persons who died as the result of a disaster did so at the time of the disaster. Deaths have occurred in the days and weeks following the disaster as a result of injury or illness that occurred due to the disaster.
3. Clues from death certificates, funeral notices and family letters can help determine if the person died by means of a disaster. A few red flags to watch for include deaths by drowning, burns, crushed limbs, and long-term illness.
