A brief overview of the way we rank places and what each rank really means

  Note* We rank places of potential haunting for our official group opinion on several different levels. Please understand that we do only visit most of these places once, twice, or a handful of times so these opinions strictly reflect only our own investigations and empirical evidence that we've found.


-The first level is No/Little Activity, if this is true of a case, then we have basically no evidence, or any personal experiences to back up any type of paranormal activity. This status can include one or two controversial evidence clips or experiences.


-The second level is Suspicious activity, if this is true of a case, then we as a group believe that the place has potential for paranormal activity. Though we most definitely can't say it is haunted at this level, we can say there could be activity but an additional investigation may be needed in this case. This level of  activity usually includes a few personal experiences and some controversial evidence.


-The third level is Paranormally Active, a case that possesses this status, has many personal experiences and some reasonable evidence. Though we do not consider this to be a haunting either,mostly because it is missing that one piece of evidence or experience in our mind that would lead us to believe without a doubt that it is haunted. But  it still will be checked out for a second investigation and most definitely has the potential to be a haunted location.


-The fourth and final level is Haunted, obviously if a case receives this status is taken very seriously and is backed up by great evidence and proportional personal experiences, it can also be characterized by clear intelligent interaction. This level is incredibly rare and not reported very often by the ODGH.
