GREETINGS SPECTRAL SIGHTSEERS!

A lot of you have been asking about a typical day in the life of Specs & Tucker. Let me tell you, in this line of work, there is no such thing as a typical day. To achieve our level of ghost-hunting greatness, you need a perfectly honed set of skills and careful preparation.

While we won’t give away ALL of our secrets - this will be a journey into our latest spectral stakeout (location is still classified pending legal issues surrounding “trespassing” and “breaking and entering” allegations .. don’t worry, we’ll win).

1200 Hours - Wake up early to get a jumpstart on the day.

There’s nothing I hate more than waking up at the crack of noon, but when duty calls, we must act with the swiftness and agility of a gazelle. You can see Tucker is awakening with the swiftness and agility of a tranquilized grizzly bear. Don’t let the grogginess fool you, when he has had his Grande ÜberMocha Crack-a-Chino, he is a force to be reckoned with.

1400 Hours - Prepare the Spectral Utility Van

Every master craftsman has a toolbox - ours is on four wheels and is ready to chase down any paranormal activity at a staggering 13 MPGs.

I know this might look like your standard VHS / DVD combo, but this section of the van has been tricked out to automatically record anything captured by our cameras or microphones throughout the entire stakeout. It’s almost like we don’t even need to be there. We could be out getting more supplies. Strawberry frosted supplies .. with sprinkles..

2100 Hours - The Stakeout Commences

Our client had told us that she had been hearing strange noises coming from her bedroom (which apparently had been the location of a brutal murder-suicide generations ago). It was time to gear up and exercise some demons.

You can see Tucker preparing to wield the Sound-Capturer-Audio-Reader-Extravaganza (SCARE for short). Once all of our gear is in place, we begin the arduous process of waiting for the activity to occur. This is why we keep stocked with top notch brain-food to keep our wits quick and our trigger fingers quicker.

2338 Hours - First Signs of Activity

The SCARE started going berserk at exactly 11:38 - the same time that the murder-suicide was said to occur. Coincidence? Yeah, I think you know the answer to that question.

Obviously Tucker is no where to be found, so I go to investigate. I’ve got the Ghoul Detector 5000 in one hand and this camera with night vision attachment in the other. Tucker had the Yasiya 2.0 so here I am with the wrong capturing equipment. Oh well, I made due.

0145 Hours - Day 2 - Proof of Paranormal? You decide.

Even though I didn’t have my Yasiya 2.0, I still found a way snap this shot. I was turning the corner through the dungeon door leading down into the basement. As soon as I entered the room I felt the presence of another. As my hair stood up on the back of my neck, I heard a series of cacophonous screams so petrifying that I almost passed out. Luckily my spectral training taught me to focus on my breathing and trudge onward.

It was at that moment that I felt a hand on my shoulder, I whip around and snap this shot with my camera as the Ghoul Detector needles skyrocket into the danger zone. Unfortunately, Tucker flipped the lights on right after the entity managed to slip through a crack in the wall.

I asked him where he was, he said he was “getting readings in the van” - he was probably catching some Z’s. Maybe we shouldn’t take jobs that force us to wake up so early.
