EMF Detection:

Cellsensor EMF Detector

A commonly held theory is that spirits draw energy from the surrounding environment in order to be able to manifest themselves. Theoretically, an EMF detector should be able to detect these fluctuations and alert a nearby person of their presence.

Additionally, we can use these devices to find "problem areas" of high EMF fields that could possibly have a negative effect on a person who has a high EMF sensitivity. For example, on one investigation, a homeowner claimed to have been woken from her sleep by a presence in her room. Upon examination of the room, we found a clock radio that was right next to the bed that gave a reading of almost 90 mG. That high of a reading is almost like sleeping with your head next to an active breaker box.

KII Meter

 One of our specialized EMF detectors is a KII Meter. This is an EMF detector specially calibrated for paranormal investigation. While not as accurate as our digital meters, this meter acts as the perfect tool to use to ask for spirit responses on. We can ask a spirit to move close to the meter to make the lights illuminate as an answer to our questions. We have modified our meter to include an on/off switch to make it easier to use.

 

Temperature Monitoring Devices:

Craftsman Digital Mini Multimeter Model 82345

Extech EX410 Manual Ranging Digital Multimeter with Type K Remote Probe Thermometer

 These thermometers have temperature probes which allow us to take an accurate ambient air temperature reading. Use of these allow us to document anomalous temperature changes which might be indications of paranormal activity.

Mastercool 52224 Infrared Thermometer

 An infrared thermometer is useful for locating drafts and the sources of temperature fluctuations. Because non-contact thermometers only read surface temperatures, they are not that useful for finding and measuring cold spots that may be a result of paranormal activity. A thermometer like this used in conjunction with our probe thermometer lets us keep pretty good handle on an area's temperature.

 

Other Equipment:

Brunton ADC Ridge (Atmospheric Data Center)

 This is a handheld device we can use to measure barometric pressure. Barometric pressure is one more condition that we can keep an eye on and monitor during an investigation. Additionally, we are interested to do some experimentation to see if we can't find a correlation between anomalous temperature changes and pressure fluctuations. In nature, temperature and atmospheric pressure go hand-in-hand, so it will be interesting to try and see if we get results on a small scale as well.

 

Lensatic Compass

 We thought we would experiment with using a compass during investigations. Described by others as a "poor man's" EMF meter, a compass - when used stationary - might be able to detect subtle changes in the local magnetic field thus alerting a nearby observer to the possibility of a paranormal presence.

 

Black & Decker
Bullseye Auto Leveling Laser

We use laser levels to help us monitor the environment around us. A laser level, as opposed to a laser pointer, will shoot a laser line out instead of a point (this is illustrated in the image below on the left). This means that one beam can be focused to cover an entire wall instead of a single point.

Some recent theories suggest that some types of entities might actually have some mass to them, thereby breaking the beam of a laser if one should cross its path.

Flashlights:

We have a plethora of flashlights that we carry around with us to investigations. We carry everything from one million candle power spot lights, standard Mag-Lites and Mini Mag-Lites, smaller red-filtered flashlights to preserve night vision, single LED lights for slight illumination for reading instrumentation in the dark, and even hand-crank powered lights in the event that all of our batteries should fail on us.

In addition to standard visible light flashlights, we also have several LED flashlights modified to have infrared lighting or ultraviolet lighting.
