Built around the method

The forms are not designed to prove a haunting. They are designed to preserve what was claimed, what was done, what was observed, what was ruled out, and what remains after ordinary explanations are considered.

Chain of custody

Evidence survives handling

Track evidence IDs, original files, transfers, working copies, review status, and storage decisions.

Metadata integrity

Records keep their context

Preserve timestamps, device IDs, area/zone context, baseline values, and equipment conditions.

Contamination control

False positives get named

Log HVAC, traffic, animals, team movement, cross-talk, device failures, and other ordinary explanations.

Because "something happened" is not a record.

The haunting is a claim. The investigation is the record. These forms help teams document quiet nights as honestly as unusual ones, preserve evidence before interpretation, and keep witness accounts separate from assumptions.
