K2 Meter:

The new “hotness” in the paranormal community. This handheld device is a special type of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detector. An EMF detector locates and tracks energy sources, and picks up on fluctuations in electromagnetic fields in the surrounding environment. A K2 meter picks up on the energy fields that spirits disturb when they are present in the environment. So the idea is that ghosts can actually communicate with the living by disturbing the electromagnetic fields that surround the K2 device.

 

Full Spectrum Camera:

This video camera offers 1080p HD quality needed to capture clear evidence. This camcorder has been professionally modified with UV and IR sensitivity to view the full spectrum of light including light not seen with the human eye. Theory says that ghosts can sometimes be seen in IR or in UV which is usually not seen by the human eye. This Camcorder records what we hunters can’t even see! Pretty sweet right!?
 

 

Digital Audio Recorder:

In theory a spirit/ghost may communicate with you through electronic voice phenomenon  EVP is picked up through an audio recording device. You cannot hear EVPs while they are happening. When you play the audio recording back, you will be able to hear them.

Digital Thermometer:

In theory when a spirit/ghost starts to manifest, it will draw in heat energy around the area, causing either a cold spot or a hot spot. A cold spot would form because the heat energy is being sucked out of the air, causing the air around the entity to be cold. A hot spot would form because the heat energy is being sucked out of the air and confined to a specific area causing a hot spot.

Digital EMF Meter (Electro Magnetic Field):

EMF meters detect electromagnetic fields.

Theory #1: When a spirit/ghost manifests, it gives off an electromagnetic field, which may be picked up by an EMF meter. When a spirit/ghost manifests, it needs energy to do so. In an area where there is a high EMF field, the spirit/ghost may draw in that high EMF and manifest

 

LED FlashLights:

Flashlights are important to have on any ghost hunt. Ghost hunting is often done at night or in dark places. As one may expect at least some investigations will be taking place during the darker hours of the day. Not having a light source is potentially dangerous for the fact that one could put themselves in an unsafe situation without knowing (stepping in a hole twisting an ankle, or touching broken glass while feeling for your way etc.).

 

Gauss Meters:

This little meter measures the level of ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field radiation from power lines, computers, kitchen appliances, and more! The easy to read scale, unique built-in audio signal and auto shut-off make it simple to use and a great way to find hidden sources of ELF frequency magnetic fields.

Most experts agree that chronic exposure to more than 2.5 milli-Gauss is inadvisable. This meter will show which areas are above or below 2.5 milli-Gauss in the 50 - 60 Hz frequency range.

 

 

 

 

Motion Sensor with Wireless remote Sensors:

A motion sensor will pick up any kind of movement that passes in front of the sensor. In theory, after a spirit/ghost has manifested and is moving around, it may pass in front of a motion sensor causing the unit to sound. The wireless remotes allow for quick deployment and ease of use.

Tri-Field Meters:

These devices are used to measure AC Magnetic Field, AC Electric Field, and Radio/microwaves. A spirit/ghost may give off a magnetic field, an electric field, and/or a radio/microwave field that can be picked up by a Tri Field Meter. They may also try to use these fields to manifest.  Manifestations need energy to occur so by searching for areas where there is a high EMF field, we are looking for areas where the spirit/ghost may be drawn to manifest. Paranormal activity may cause erratic movement through the needle in any given setting.

 

 

 

 

 

Digital Video Camera:

One of the basic function tools of every investigation is a camera. When analyzing video footage we look for any unusual anomalies or movement as well as EVPs. We also note the time recorded on the camera for any skips in time in the recording.

 

 

DVR System:

DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. Our DVR system has a 500-gigabyte hard drive, with 8 Infrared (IR) Cameras. These cameras allow us to record/document from all 8 cameras simultaneously in lighted conditions or darkness. Live-time we can view one camera at a time or in a 8-way split screen. We also are able to either speed up or slow down the recording for better analysis and in the event it is necassary we are able to burn a segment of the footage that has been recorded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IR Thermometer:

IR Thermometer detects surface temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius. IR stands for Infrared. The thermometer shoots out an infrared beam hitting a surface and relaying the temperature of the surface back to you. When a spirit/ghost starts to manifest, it will draw in heat energy around the area, causing either a cold spot or a hot spot. A cold spot would form because the heat energy is being sucked out of the air, causing the air around the entity to be cold. A hot spot would form because the heat energy is being sucked out of the air and confined to a specific area, causing a hot spot.
