Paranormal Investigation Equipment Information |
|
EMF Meter
EMF meters detect electro-magnetic fields that sometimes can be
associated with paranormal activity. Remember to always take
into account all possible causes, natural or otherwise, before
coming to any conclusions. Follow the links for additional
information:

Analog/Digital Voice recorder
A digital voice recorder is recommended. If using an analog
recorder make sure to use and external mic. |

Infrared Thermometer and Infrared Thermometer with external
Probe
An Infrared
Thermometer without a probe measures the temperature of a
surface though it can be influenced some, by for example, cold
air that the laser beam may pass through. Try this experiment.
Take the temperature of a wall near your freezer. Now open the
freezer door and take the temperature on the exact same wall.
You should see a difference in the temperature because the
ambient air temperature does have some influence. An Infrared
Thermometer with a probe is more accurate when measuring ambient
air cold spots because you can actually put the probe into the
cold spot which you cannot do with an Infrared Thermometer
without a probe. What you can do with an Infrared Thermometer
without a probe that does work to some degree is find something
that does not hold heat well so it won't be influenced by
the warmth of your hand holding it and put it into the cold
spot. Now take the Infrared Thermometer without a probe and
point the laser onto the object in the cold spot. This will work
in a pinch to take a fairly accurate reading of the ambient air
temperature.

DVR/CCTV System
These can be
standalone units or PC based systems. Some important
considerations are ir camera features, cable type, video
compression ratio and FPS (frames per second) per channel.
|
Infra Red Motion
Sensor
Used to detected movement in an area where activity has been
known to occur. Make sure to let everyone know where the
motion sensors are placed to reduce the chance of false alarms.
These are also good to use around your base of operations where
all your equipment is so your equipment is less likely to get
tampered with without your knowledge (if you can't spare someone
to sit and watch the equipment). |
Digital camcorders
with Night Vision
Digital camcorders are a good tool for recording possible
paranormal activities. You will want to look for a camcorder
that has nightvision.
Additional info coming
soon. |
Note Pad
Trying to remember what might have occurred at what time
during an investigation is always easier when it is written
down. This can also be used to confirm times and occurrences
captured during a audio or video recording session.
|
Flashlights
Often during an investigation you will be in the dark in a
unfamiliar place and thus the need for a flashlight.
Remember to bring extra batteries.
|
Two Way Radios
Two Way Radios are useful for investigations when splitting
in to teams. This way you are in contact with the other teams if
something paranormal is happening or if someone is in need of
medical attention. Two way Radios are also useful when
setting up DVR remote camera angles. |
Trigger Objects
Try using trigger objects in areas where there have been
reports of things being moved. Place the object in a location
and make note of where it is placed (use paper to draw around it
or tape to outline it). You could also take photographs of where
you left the objects as well which will further help to validate
any movement. Leave the area and when you return you should be
able to tell whether the object has been moved. Make sure to
tell everyone attending the investigation where you have placed
trigger objects so that nobody accidentally moves or disturbs
them. |
