As you sit watching your favorite ghost hunting or paranormal investigations program on TV you see them using a variety of expensive and advanced high tech equipment.
These shows creates the illusion that the only way you can capture any kind of paranormal activity would be to own all sorts of these advanced techno tools.
Just because you don't have high dollar ghost hunting equipment doesn't mean you can't do an effective paranormal investigation. A lot of people make that assumption when they first think of going on a ghost hunt.
This is a myth and simply not true, don't let the lack of the high tech toys be the one reason that holds you back from trying something you may enjoy.
On the flip side, what if you invested 100's or 1000's into ghost hunting equipment and found out it wasn't your cup of tea.
Here's my point...
95% of all successful ghost hunts boil down to one main factor, " Being in the right place at the right time".
In order to capture that "Great" photo or record that fantastic EVP you have to find yourself in a specific location at an exact moment, as we all know Ghost don't appear on command.
There are no magical paranormal investigations tools or electronic ghost hunting equipment that can "make things happen" during an investigation. The only way to get the great photo or EVP is to be persistent in your quest and "hunt things down".
So let's get to the basics and discuss what you really need verses what you have been lead to believe you have to have. The following list is very short and I think you'll be very surprised how easy it is to get started.
- (1) A disposable Camera with flash - around $10 bucks or less
(2) A Digital recorder or mini cassette - $25 to $48 bucks
(3) A flashlight - with batteries - under $5 bucks
(4) EMF detector. Not needed right away but runs about $40 up.
Cameras:
If you own a “Film Camera" use it, if all you have is a digital camera and you doing it for fun...use it, but do it with integrity and don't add, subtract or manipulate the actual photo in anyway.
Recorders:
Cassettes, digital recorders and even MP3 players….Yes, I have even used an MP3 player to record with and had very good luck. If you own one of these…use it!
Flash lights:
More than likely you already own one but later down the road you may want to upgrade to a GOOD L.E.D. hand held version.
I wear a L.E.D. headset has 3 white L.E.D. lights and with the flick of a switch can go to red for night vision. You can snag one for yourself in the sporting goods dept. at Wal-Mart for around $15 bucks.
EMF detectors:
Helps detect any electromagnetic fluctuations or disturbances in a given area. The disturbances don't necessarily have to be paranormal. EMF or Electromagnetic Fields can be found anywhere that has electric wiring or requires electricity to operate.
High EMF can cause a variety of effects, things like nausea, headaches, skin irritations and rashes. Often when placed in confined areas people report mood swings, feelings of being watched and overall uneasiness.
Using a good EMF detector can help to find "probable causes" of many paranormal events and could enable you to give an alternative scientific explanation other than something paranormal.
On the other hand should something paranormal try to manifest itself the EMF detector will tell you if an areas magnetic field is, or has changed thus making you aware of the possibility of paranormal activity.
One of the "Best" ghost hunting tools I HIGHLY RECOMMEND is also the cheapest… It’s a computer software program that is made just for Ghost Hunting and Paranormal Investigations.
It’s called ‘The P.L.A.N.” The software is for anyone who explores a location where any type of paranormal activity is occurring.
The P.L.A.N Ghost Hunting software was created for paranormal researchers. Researchers can easily keep track of vital data gathered at the haunted locations.
The software saves you hours in creating a final report as well as creates highly professional reports of your entire paranormal investigation from start to finish. Anyone can use it and best of all it has video tutorials.
With that said I hope the lack of expensive unnecessary ghost hunting equipment isn’t what hold you back from pursuing this fun and exciting hobby.
