  • Dress in warm, layered clothing, as the building can become very cold at night, and avoid head torches which can blind others.
  • Bring your own torch, but be aware that filming or going live on social media is strictly prohibited within the hospital.
  • If you become scared or struggle physically, inform a team member immediately; they can guide you to a safe area or accommodate your pace.
  • While ghost hunting equipment is provided, you are welcome to bring your own, but it must not interfere with the vigil.
