Equipment and Glossary
| Ghost Hunting Equipment | |
| For new ghost researchers and experienced ghost hunters alike the equipment and tools needed for scientific paranormal research can be somewhat of an enigma. Equipment can be not only difficult to obtain but also difficult to use effectively. | |
| About Electromagnetic Field Meters You can use a compass to detect significant fluctuations in the magnetic fields, but it is a very difficult process. To detect them accurately and quickly you absolutely need a quality EMF detector. EMF Meters come in a wide variety prices, features, and sensitivities. You can get away with skimping on ghost research equipment but you really can't skimp with an EMF detector. Invest in a good one! | |
| About Temperature Measurement Equipment It is believed that ghosts absorb energy from the environment around them in order to manifest. These energies come in many forms for example batteries which are known to drain quickly in very active locations. The most common form of energy that ghosts seem to use is heat. It has been proposed that ghosts absorb heat from their environment as energy which helps them to manifest which would explain why people often feel “cold spots”. Advancements in thermometer technology make checking for cold spots simple and cheap. Infrared devices can read temperatures nearly instantaneously. Temperature monitoring and measurement devices are absolutely necessary for paranormal research. Thermometer are by far, this one of the most useful and affordable tools for serious investigations. | |
| About EVP Audio Recorders Voice recorders are small and easy to carry with you on an investigation. Some of the most compelling evidence that researchers can capture is electronic voice phenomena. Today's audio recorders are extremely technologically advanced pieces of equipment and the prices are continually becoming more reasonable. There are also wireless microphones which allow you to record directly to a computer with little or no background noise. However you choose to capture audio it is an essential part of every ghost investigation. | |
OUR EQUIPMENT
We do have equipment. We use a non-contact, digital display infrared thermometer. It reads both air and infrared. It can even note the time of the temp change by a built in clock.
We have an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder. It is capable of recording high-audio quality from up to six meters away and has a capacity of 90 minutes.
The EMF detector we use is excellent. It is by CellSensor. It often yields wonderful results when using the meter in conjunction with cameras, audio and video recorders. For instance, when anomalous EMFs are detected we take photos, record audio, or shoot video in hopes of documenting an anomaly.
The digital camera we use is by FujiFilm and is 8.3MP. It is an incredible camera that has produced great pictures. It also has video capability.
