Ghost Hunting Equipment

Our paranormal investigations rely on high-quality, carefully maintained equipment to capture every sound, image, and energy change during an investigation. Each tool plays a vital role in documenting evidence, ensuring accuracy, and helping us better understand the unexplained. Below, you’ll find an overview of the gear we use, so you can see exactly how we work behind the scenes to capture proof of the paranormal.

  • Digital Voice Recorder

    We use digital voice recorders to capture high-quality audio during investigations. These devices are essential for detecting Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs), unexplained voices, whispers, or sounds that aren’t heard at the time but are later discovered during audio review. Their sensitivity and ability to store long recordings make them one of our most important tools in the field.

  • Spirit Box

    A spirit box rapidly scans AM and FM radio frequencies, creating a stream of white noise and audio fragments. Investigators believe spirits can use this energy and sound to form words or phrases in real time. We use the spirit box during live sessions to ask direct questions and listen for immediate, relevant responses from the other side.

  • Full-Spectrum Camera

    Full-spectrum cameras are modified to capture the entire light spectrum, including ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light—ranges normally invisible to the human eye. This allows us to document visual anomalies, unusual light patterns, and potential apparitions that standard cameras might miss. They’re a vital tool for uncovering hidden details during our investigations.

  • Nightshot Handycam

    Night vision handy cams allow us to record clear video in complete darkness, using infrared (IR) technology to illuminate the scene without visible light. This makes them ideal for documenting investigations in low-light or no-light environments, capturing movement, shadows, and visual anomalies the naked eye might miss.

  • Infrared DVR system

    Our infrared (IR) DVR system uses multiple stationary cameras to monitor different areas of a location at the same time, all in night vision. The system records continuously, allowing us to review hours of footage for movement, shadows, or unexplained light anomalies. This setup is essential for covering large spaces and spotting activity we might miss in person.

  • Thermal Camera

    Thermal cameras detect heat signatures and display them as color-coded images, making temperature differences visible to the naked eye. We use them to identify unexplained cold spots, track movement in the dark, and spot heat patterns that could indicate the presence of a person—or something else—when no one is visibly there.

  • EMF Meter

    An EMF (Electromagnetic Field) meter measures fluctuations in electromagnetic energy. During investigations, sudden or unexplained EMF spikes can indicate potential paranormal activity, as some believe spirits can manipulate electromagnetic fields. We use EMF meters to detect and document these changes, while also ruling out natural sources like electrical wiring.

  • REM Pod

    The REM Pod creates its own electromagnetic field and alerts us when something disturbs it. Equipped with lights and sound indicators, it can detect movement or changes in proximity without physical contact. We place REM Pods in key locations to monitor for potential spirit interaction, often using them as a trigger device during communication sessions.

  • Walkie-Talkie

    Walkie-talkies keep our team connected across large or multi-level locations where cell service may be unreliable. Clear, instant communication ensures safety, coordination, and quick responses when activity is detected in different areas. They’re an essential tool for staying organized during investigations.

  • Red-light Flashlights

    Red light flashlights provide low-level illumination that preserves night vision and minimizes disturbance of the environment. We use them during investigations to move quietly and observe without startling potential spirits or compromising sensitive equipment.

  • Trip Wire/ Rope Light

    Trip wires paired with rope lights are set up to alert us when someone—or something—crosses a specific area. The lights illuminate or trigger sounds upon disturbance, helping us detect movement and capture real-time evidence during investigations.

  • Cat Balls

    Cat balls are small, sensitive devices designed to detect subtle environmental changes such as vibrations, temperature shifts, or electromagnetic fluctuations. They’re often placed around a location to pick up unusual activity and help pinpoint areas of interest during an investigation.

  • SLS Camera

    SLS (Structured Light Sensor) cameras use infrared light to create detailed 3D maps of a space, detecting subtle movements and shapes invisible to the naked eye. This technology helps us identify unexplained figures, shadows, or anomalies by capturing their precise location and movement in real time.
