Blog 27 OMG, What is that smell?

I was posed with a question yesterday on a different blog and I tried to give her my opinion and would like to expand this abit. I quote


"Have you ever hunted ghosts with somebody that stinks? LOL We went on an investigation with a guy that stunk to hi heaven. How do you tell this guy to clean up before going with you? He's going with us again for Halloween? He's really a nice guy so I don't want to hurt his feelings. "


My reply,


“That's a double edge sword; I’ve been with people who wore fragrant stuff, which would have made it hard to pick up a smell of cigar that wasn't there. Well, maybe not a cigar, lol, but a cigarette or faint perfume of a dearly departed.


You must tell him to "clean up his act", due to the overwhelming body smell that you would not be able to pick up evidence of a clairessence of a spirit manifestation. Soap, it doesn't have to have a fragrance. If he does that and still smells, it's his diet. Unfortunately, it will have to be him or the group, and because you will lose evidence all the time if his smells continue.”

At SEFGR, we must be careful of both situations and thankfully it was not due to bad body odors. There have been occasions of those who use to much body spray, cologne and or perfume. This can be remedied by a quick wash off. Girls tend to fall victims to this, wanting to smell good. I would rather have you smell neutral, which is good, but is fine with a light fragrance that cannot be smelled unless sniffed off the skin.


Remember, ghost can give us clues by sense of smell. A familiar perfume of a favorite aunt or the cigar smoke of a killer, we log those in our experiences, so if there is historical documentation of this, we can classify the ghost of family or from other sources.

I also want to mention about bodily functions. If someone does pass “wind”, it’s best to let those around you know it was you. The smell of sulfur is common on some haunts and don’t want to confuse a spicy meal. LOL
