| Here
is a list of the more popular tools utilized by professional ghost
hunters and paranormal professionals. |

Camera:
Still motion photography is the means in which most evidence of
ghostly activity is obtained. In all honestly, any camera will do.
The one most frequently used are Digital cameras.
Electro-Magnetic Field Detectors:
EMF detectors are a must have among Ghost Hunting. Their purpose
is to detect the presence of electro-magnetic fields. EMF fields
can be generated by ghosts and has been related to haunting activity.
HOWEVER, all electronic devices, live wires, uderground wires, and
solar activity (sun flares/solar storms) also generate EMF's. As
a note, a Compass does the same thing as the EMF detector.
Thermal Scanner:
A more expensive alternative to the digital thermometer, the thermal
scanner uses infrared technology to instantly detect temperature
differences at a distance. You can expect to spend about $200 for
a good one. This too is an awesome tool.
Video Camera
Obvious reasons!!!!
Thermal Imaging Scopes:
detects a temperature anomaly directly in front of your team. Thermal
Imaging Scopes will allow you the luxury of actually seeing what
your thermal scanner sees. Using infrared technology, you can actually
see the shape and size of that cold spot. The fire departments use
this to see "hot spots" in house fires that they have
extinguished. These are awesome tools, but very, very expensive.
Audio Recorder:
Ghost hunters have come to know that ghosts are able to leave little
tidbits of their existence called EVP's on audio tape. Otherwise
known as electronic voice phenomena or EVP. We personally use a
digital voice recorder. It takes the same kind of memory card that
our digital cameras have. And when we want to render the audio on
to our computer, it's just plug and play. Software such as
GoldWave can then be used to filter out the noise and render our
EVP's audible to the human ear. As a side note, an external
microphone is recomended. Reason being, the gears inside the
tapeing device can be heard during EVP capture. This just
adds to the other noises that need to be filtered out. It's
best to just avoid that by using an external mic.
Motion Detectors:
Motion detectors can alert you to movement in an area where there
should be none. Easily, an entire room or hallway can be monitored
with just one device. This is a great indoor tool that doesnt need
monitoring. Usually you can set these up and go about your business.
If somthing sets the alarm off you can them come back to that area
and investigate further. |
