Many people are curious about what type of equipment we use while doing a paranormal investigation. We actually use many different things.
We have a few different EMF Meters that read the electromagnetic energy. We take base readings at all locations to see what is normal so when we start the investigation we know what isn't normal. We have K2, 822 Digital, Mel Meter (which also does temperature readings), and a Gauss Master. It is great to use different meters to get the most accurate reading.
We have different temperature meters and as with the EMF, we do a base reading to see what the normal temperature is so we know when there is something possibly manifesting.
The PS7 and other types of "spirit boxes" give the spirits a chance to communicate. The PS7 works off radio waves where you use straight white noise. We have actually captured many EMFs this way. Other spirit boxes have words programmed and you let it run during the investigation and see what it says. I don't put a lot of stock in this unless it is actually coming up with words that fit in with the specific location.
As always, we use our senses. What do you see, smell, hear, taste, feel, etc? You always have to pay attention to all of these. If you focus only on the equipment you could miss something very important.
There are several ways to capture or attempted to capture EVPs. You can use an old style tape recorder (we do have one), digital records, and real time recorders where you can actually hear while you are recording.
We also use trigger objects. If you know there spirit is a child, we put toys out to try and communicate with the child. One time we knew the spirit was obsessed with makeup so I put out a tub of lipstick and eye shadow for her. We've also used candy, playing cards, cigarettes, etc. It just depends on where you are and what spirits you are dealing with.
Last but not least, we have several; types of cameras from still cameras, digital cameras, infrared, full spectrum, and thermal cameras.
We also try to incorporate some Victorian era methods as well. We try to be very thorough in all our investigations.
