Equipment we use.
Below is a small selection of the equipment we use on our Paranormal Investigations
- Trigger Objects
- These are a very basic bit of kit, and any object can in fact be used.
- The principle here is to mark the initial position and see if there has been any change. This can be done with pencil, or perhaps talcum powder.
- Digital Cameras
- Used for all the investigations to record events as the teams go.
- Simple to transfer data from camera to PC, but some skeptics believe any images caught are too easy to fake digitally.
- Microphones
- Usually set up in a known "hotspot" to record areas when teams are not about and analysed post investigation.
- Ideal for recording Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVPs)when used in conjunction with the dictaphones.
- 2way Radio Systems
- Whenever we are on an investigation we split into teams. 2ways are an essential way of keeping in touch should any problems arise.
- Also very useful when an area becomes very active so kit can be brought from the hub.
- Digital Camcorders
- These can be used on investigations to record events as the team goes, but can also be used to record areas when teams are not about.
- Additionally they can be mounted on a tripod and put in a "locked off" area to record any activity.
- Digital Dictaphones
- These are another basic bit of kit which many investigators start with, they start around £20 for something reasonable and can go into the £100s.
- Easily portable can record whole investigations and often pick up EVPs not heard by the human ear.
- Laptop/PC
- This is usually set up in the main hub and has the infra-red cameras feeding directly into it.
- Great for real-time analysis, but also records the full investigation for more detailed post-investigation analysis.
- Infra-Red Cameras
- Used for all the investigations to record events as the teams go - also are used to record areas when teams are not about
- These can obviously see things the human eye cannot so are invaluable to any team!
