Ghost Hunting Equipment Checklist

Hello to all of my readers. This week I would like to touch on the topic of the equipment that you will need in order to pursue a successful ghost hunt.  I will list some of the equipment as well as what it exactly does when your in the Field. While some of it can be expensive, some is also your basic stuff which isn't that expensive.

Flashlight- This is one of the most important things that you will need. This is a necessity when you are going to be working at night. It's just an important tool when you are trying to get around in the dark. It can also be useful in another way. For example there is a YouTube video that was filmed at the Tillie Peirce House in Gettysburg, PA. The investigator asked the entity to turn the light off and on and it did. That leads me to the next item on our list.
Video Recorder- This tool is helpful in getting visual evidence. They also have DVD recorders that came out not too long ago. If you get any type of visual recorder make sure it has a night vision setting.
White tape- This is good to have when you need to mark a area that is potentially active.
Tape Recorder- This tool is so important to have in your kit. This will pickup ghost or spirit voices.  These are known as EVP's Which stands for electronic voice phenomena. They now even have recorders that you don't have to get audio tape for. These are much better for the simple fact that you can upload the file into your computer and can eliminate some of the white noise so it will be clear.
Infrared Digital Thermometer- This simple tool can detect cold spots as well as temperature changes in the room.
Electro Magnetic Field Reader- These are to detect if there is electro magnetic fields in the area. Please be aware  that when using this piece of equipment stay away from plugs and light switches. It will give a false reading. If you are not near these things and it peaks up and the sensor light goes on that means that you have some sort of activity going on. Also please keep the volume setting down to where you can't hear it. You don't want to be in the middle of working and hear beep beep beep that is very distracting to the ghosts and other members of the team.
Investigation log- Just get a standerd notebook and keep all things written down. For instance if your EMF meter goes off in a certain spot. Jot down where it happened and what time it happened. Anything that is evidence write it down.
Wrist watch- So you have the correct time of an event.
First aide kit- It is good to have one on hand in case you or another part of your team gets hurt.
Batteries- Always have a ton of extra batteries on hand. Spirits and ghost are made up of energy so they will get any kind of extra energy that they can and if it means draining your batteries that are in some of your machines they will do so.
Thank you all for spending time reading my blog. I'm glad that you enjoy it. I was recently asked by a good friend of mine to do a guest writers spot on her blog.She wants me to do a piece on werewolves. I will have the link to her blog here on my blog when it is finished. But next week in the spirit of werewolves I will be writing all about the field of Cryptozoology. It should be fascinating for me as well as you guys. In closing have a great week everyone.
