Coleman Lensatic Compass
Not only will it tell you what direction you're going, but a compass is also able to detect high EMF readings.  The compass will start to spin if there are high readings in an area.  Some investigators believe that using a compass is actually more reliable since it takes a higher EMF reading to make the compass spin.

Parabolic Microphone
The parabolic microphone is a hand-held sonic listening device.  It is super-sensitive and can pick up voices and sounds up to 300 feet away.  We utilize this to pick up E.V.P.'s and the sounds will be captured by a recorder.

The colored filters are great for night time to keep from impairing your vision with harsh white light.

Sakar 1 Hour LCD AA/AAA Battery Charger + Car Charger
This is one of two battery chargers we have on hand.  This one comes in handy when batteries are needing to be recharged but there is no electrical power.  We can just plug in the car charger adapter and charge on the go.

The equipment listed above is just some of the items that we utilize.
We are currently looking into getting IR cameras to add to our list.  If your investigation requires IR cameras and monitoring equipment, until we have our own, we can refer you to another local area paranormal group that is better suited for those needs.

Some groups have more equipment, some have less.  It's not only a matter of how much money you want to spend on equipment but it is also about what works best for you.  We have the equipment that we have because we wanted to use them or test them out.  You don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get equipment when you get involved in this field.  In fact, here is a list of simple and inexpensive items that you may already have sitting around your home:

  • Any type of recorder whether it is large or small, tape or digital.

  • A compass can be used as a E.M.F. detector.  The compass will spin when there are high E.M.F. spikes.  The only setback to this is that you have to be mindful of which direction is actually north.   I have heard some investigators say that they believe the compass to be more reliable than the E.M.F. detectors when it comes to ghost hunting.

  • A flashlight.

  • A camera.  It can be 35mm, digital or even the disposable ones that you can pick up at the gas station.

  • Extra batteries.

  • A pen and some paper to keep a log of your investigation.

And remember, if you do want to get more equipment, Ebay and the many online stores are your friends!  In fact, that's where we got some of our tools that you see listed above.  You can also check with local paranormal groups that may be willing to part with some of their equipment for a reasonable price.

More to come...
