| Having the
right equipment is one of the most important factors
in doing a good, evidence backed, investigation.
There are many theories concerning the supernatural
and electromagnetic disturbances as well as rapid
temperature changes and other measurable effects.
Solid proof of the paranormal can only be achieved
with scientific precision and detailed measurements
to compare and contrast with normal readings. There
are many theories as to the interaction of spirits
with various pieces of equipment and for the most
part they are still just theories. New technology
is always being tested and hopefully someday we
will find a reasonably sure fire way to detect the
paranormal. |

A tape
recorder is used to record noises, voices,
and any other sounds it could pick up. Make
sure there is a blank tape in the recorder
and set the speed you will be recording at.
We feel that it is best to record at fast
speed because you can pick up more sounds.
Some of the things you want to do when you
use a tape recorder is document what time
it is and where you are. You should also ask
questions in the supposed haunted area. After
you're finished using the recorder you need
to analyze the tape for EVPs (electronic voice
phenomenon). Using similar techniques as a
normal audio recorder, the digital recorder
provides more clarity. It is also easier to
import to a computer. |

Temperature devises
are used in measuring hot and cold. We use
temperature gauges to look for "cold
spots". "When a ghost tries to materialize,
it draws from the environment, heat as a form
of energy". Cold spots may be caused
by spirits who take in the heat energy around
that area. The first thing you want to do
is to take a temperature reading at your home
base to get a reading that is normal. When
your out in the field you want to have everyone
around you hold there position and take readings
of the supposed haunted area. With a digital
thermometer the probe's range is 3 feet. When
you are out in the field you want to unravel
the probe and let the wire go and drag it
around. In terms of the infrared thermometer,
the range in feet of the CEM thermometer is
1 foot to 1 mile, and the radioshack thermometer
ranges from 1 to 3 feet. |

Thermo
imaging provides the viewer with vision through
objects. The thermo imaging will pick up any
heat within the field of vision. This proves
very useful for expeditions into haunted or
supposed haunted sites. Any living object,
in our case humans and animals, will give
off some form of heat source. If a human or
animal is seen but shows no heat source, it
can be assumed that it is an apparition. If
you see a ghost or apparition through thermo
imaging you will see colder colors like blues
and greens, because ghosts and apparitions
are considered to be cold objects. |
