Paranormal
investigators make use of over a dozen different tools and electronic devices
to help track down and locate possible evidence of paranormal activity.
Paranormal
investigators use specific tools and devices to track down evidence of
paranormal activity. This guide lists both standard tools and newer, more
controversial tools used in the paranormal field today.
Standard
Ghost Hunting Equipments


Batteries: Since battery-operated
equipment might stop working during an investigation, it's best to bring plenty
of extras.
Digital
Camera/35 mm Camera: Paranormal investigators like to shoot photographs with
cameras when they think a spirit might be trying to manifest. There are several
famous photographs of alleged ghosts that were caught on camera film. Digital
cameras are used more often today because you can take a very large number of
photographs in a short period of time.

EMF Detector: The electromagnetic field
is a fundamental force of nature. An EMF detector measures this field as well
as the energy emitted by stationary charged objects. According to paranormal
investigators, paranormal activity might cause disruptions in the
electromagnetic field, resulting in readings on an EMF detector. Investigators
might find higher EMF readings emitted in homes where paranormal activity
allegedly occurs. High EMF readings in a home caused by electrical problems are
often associated with fatigue, nausea, stress, chest pain, headaches and
hallucinations. Therefore, investigators can use EMF detectors to rule out paranormal
activity.
Infrared Thermal Scanner: This is a
temperature measuring tool that sends out a thermal beam that measures
fluctuations in temperature. Paranormal investigators can monitor temperature
as well as find cold and hot spots that might be caused by paranormal activity.
Walkie-Talkies: These are good tools to
have in order to keep in touch with other members of a investigative group. If
group members separate into teams to investigate a location, walkie-talkies
become vital in order to keep track of everyone, even more so in case of an
emergency.
Night Vision: Night Vision goggles or
night vision adaptors (that attach to video recorders) will help investigators
see in the dark. These are especially useful for locations that are extremely
dark.
Video Recorder: While video evidence is
pretty rare, it does happen. Video evidence is the most sought after evidence
of paranormal activity. After all, seeing is believing.
Compass:
Obviously, compasses are good for navigation purposes but this tool will also
react if there is a disturbance in the electromagnetic field.
Dowsing
Rods: An ancient tool used to find water, dowsing rods are now used to locate
sources of paranormal activity. When the rods cross, the source of energy has
been found.

Ghost Hunting Equipment
K-2 Meter: Another form of an EMF
detector, the K-2 Meter uses lights to indicate changes in the electromagnetic
field. The K-2 Meter can be seen in action on Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters.

Frank's Box: According to Frank Sumption, creator of Frank's Box, the device is "based on using voltage tunable radio modules from older digital car stereos, and tuning them with a random voltage derived from white noise". This device captures allegedly disembodied voices in response to questions asked by paranormal investigators. Frank's Box has been featured on A&E Network's
