Answer 4

to see hte spirts move in the house

Answer 5

They don't want the electrical interference.

They think it makes things spookier.

It gives them a chance to use that cool night vision stuff.

Answer 6

You would not be able to see spirits with all the lights on, if you turned a light on during the day, it would not make much as a difference just as ghost would not be easily visbal during the day. The same reason applys to why they always search at night and not during the day. Spirits are also thought to be most active at night. Spirits also need energy to make things move or make noises so it is thought to be easier for them to comunicate when there is no electrical interference. I hope that helps to answer your question lol.

Answer 7

I think part of it is, the lights are always off at that time of night. But, also, the lights themselves can cause reflections and "orbs", so they wouldn't want anything like that happening. They'd be chasing "orbs" all night.  Another possible reason is the energy given off by appliances and lamps while they are on can cause the instruments to go off - you notice sometimes there are strong electrical fields that are found. The lamps and other lights would just create more "false" fields.  (Most of the time the electrical fields are found at a breaker box. Imagine them chasing down every lamp that way!!  Not very efficient.)

Answer 8

To try to hide the fakery as much as possible. Anything can look weird in the dark.

Answer 9

Investigators tend to believe that turning out the lights make it easier to catch paranormal phenomena and think by doing so it will also help sharpen their other senses, such as sounds and the all around atmosphere around them in general.

Answer 10

well it looks scarier with the lights off makes you feel spooky. and captures your attention more.

Answer 11

I think because it makes the show "creepier" for the viewers and gives spirits a chance to come about in a sneaky way.
