What Kinds of Ghost Equipment Do I Need?

Well, there are so many different types of ghost equipment out there that anyone could have a heart attack just picking. That is why we took the guess work out of what you need. And to be honest, you don't need much. When we started out all we had was a digital camera and digital voice recorder. That was it!!!! And we managed to get some really good pictures and EVP's from only those two items. I have made a list of the things you will need based on money:

Little to no Money but want to get evidence

1.  Digital Camera- most cameras work but to really get good evidence,  we suggest the
Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).   

This camera has always captured evidence from all kinds of places we have been. We 

were able to capture orbs, spirit apparitions, and many more interesting anomalies.

2.  Digital Voice Recorder - we highly suggest you get one of these recorders --The voice recorders can pick up sounds from ghosts that the human ear cannot- this is where you will get your EVP's. I have been so surprised to hear evidence of a ghost hunt because sometimes you don't hear anything when you are there, but when you get home and listen to the recorder and put it in computer software- you will be amazed. We recommend the Olympus VN-6200PC Digital Voice Recorder. We have gotten alot of evidence with this little piece of machinery.

We have some money to blow

1. Buy the two items above

2. Buy an EMF reader- an EMF reader will let you know if there is any paranormal activity around you or in the place you are in-- we have not had much luck with EMF readers, but we know alot of people who do and that is why we put it on the list. We recommend the K-II EMF Meter. This type of EMF meter is very popular. You take the meter and you scan the place, if there is any paranormal activity, the EMF meter will read it and it will spike. Then you can use your camera to take a picture or use your digital recorder to talk to the spirit in the area where the meter had shown the spike.

We are filthy rich and are living on Daddy's inheritance

Okay, then you are really lucky and I envy you.

1. Buy all the items above

2.  Buy the IR Infrared Thermometer Gun - this is a fascinating tool because you can use it to gauge the temperature in a place. Usually there will be extreme cold or hot pockets that will let you know that a spirit is there. You can use the gun and point to the area where you are feeling this temperature shift and it will give you a temperature reading. If the temperature all of sudden spikes high or then it spikes low- you have a spirit!!!!!


3. Buy the Cakewalk Music Creator 6  software- Why? Do ghosts like to boogie? No, this is for you to use to gather your EVP's from the digital voice recorder. This is a computer software that you can use for music projects, but it can also be used to listen to your EVP's on tracks. The software is great because you can listen and if you hear something you can enhance it so others can hear it too. You can cut and paste your most important evp's and then make a youtube video- that is for another post.


4. A good set of headphones- you will need these if you are listening to the EVP's on the computer. You will be able to hear alot of evidence just from using the headphones.


In any case, the things we use all the time are the digital camera, digital voice recorder, emf reader, cakewalk software and our computer with headphones. Yes, a computer is really handy- you may want to make a website of all of your evidence and share it with us...


We also have some of the products we mentioned located on our blog- Amazon has a great collection of ghost equipment and we featured everything we listed on this page.


Happy Haunting!!!
