Rules Of Investigation

Florida Ghost Team is a Not-For-Profit organization and therefore, we do NOT charge a fee. Our investigations are to help our clients understand the supernatural and how to deal with any supernatural energy that may be present in their homestead or establishment.

We do not endorse the utilization of Ouija Boards, tarot cards, or any device used to conjure the non-living.

FGT does not do expositions for friends and/or family. What we do is strictly for our research and the morality of the client. Within this statement, it is recognized that only the client and immediate family or roommates residing within the home will be acknowledged in attending the investigation. This is also to ensure protection of FGT team members.

FGT management will determine if a homestead, establishment, or surrounding property is deemed competent to conduct an investigation. If a location is believed to be unfit or hazardous for our investigators, the client will be notified and an attempt to rectify the situation with the client will be formed. If there can be no agreement between the client and FGT management, all scheduled investigation/s will be terminated or suspended until further notice.

Reasons for termination or suspension of an investigation:

• Frail flooring and/or unstable stairs or steps
• Vicious or unruly animals (Dogs, snakes, etc.)
• Exposed firearms or weapons
• Unsafe area or neighborhood (Gang activity or insignia, suspicious activity with vagrants or questionable persons in the vicinity
• Drug trading or drug usage
• Aggressive or offensive behavior from client
• Signs of false information from client
• Obvious signs or evidence of mental instability in which client should consult with psychiatric personnel and/or clergy

Although our objective is to support the client in their circumstances, FGT will not place any of its members in harm's way. Alternate avenues or methods will be examined in order to support the client. Such actions may involve the assistance of a clergyman.

FGT will not enter a client's homestead or establishment unless the client in writing has granted full authorization and the client accompanies FGT into the homestead establishment. No member of FGT will enter a client's bedroom area unless accompanied by another member and the client has signed a written agreement.

It is a requirement of our Client Care Representative to ask specific questions before, during, and after any investigation. It is anticipated that the client answer all questions honestly and to the best of their ability without aggressive, dishonest or discreditable behavior. FGT has the right to refuse any investigation request and shall exercise that right to secure the safety and reputation of our organization and its members.

Although FGT is a TAPS Family Member and has been for five years, we are NOT TAPS and a client should not expect for us to come in with media and such for an investigation.

Standard procedure includes:

• An initial phone interview
• Preliminary interview at client’s home or business
• After the “prelim” FGT will meet to discuss if an investigation is warranted. Upon our decision to accept the case, the client will be notified and we will schedule a full investigation into the location.

If at anytime, we feel that there is a conflict of interest or that we cannot fulfill our duties in the case,  FGT will discontinue the investigation and notify the client via email of the decision and reasons.
