Thinking about going ghost hunting?

Question

I'd like to know more about ghost hunting, it sounds fun and interesting and I would like to start into it. I'm thinking about buying a digital/tape recorder, but that's the only thing I can afford right now, and I'm not even sure about that. As a unemployed 16 year old, I don't exactly have loads of money that I can freely spend. Can someone fill me out on the details of ghost hunting and other equipment I need for it?

Answer 1

I understand what you're saying but you'd better be careful and talk to your parents. Some entities that you might think is a ghost could be a bad spirit so be careful.

Answer 2

Well if you have a digital camera, video or photographic and the voice recorder you are pretty much set.That is pretty much how every ghost hunting team starts.

Use the voice recorder for an EVP session, snap pictures with the camera.Ghost Hunting isn't as complicated as it sounds, which really isn't to complicated,but you don't need fancy equipment.All you really need is an open mind and good debunking skills.

Answer 3

Google Ghost hunters I know my daughter brings up a site on them.  They're real and they try to prove or disprove hauntings.  They talk about their cool stuff all the time.  I'm afraid your recorder is way low on the technology list.

Answer 4

The only thing I've ever heard from recorders is static.  I use a relatively inexpensive digital camera to take photos.  Its best if you can stay in the area for quite awhile and be sure to record the occurance of any identifiable noises or lights - people in another room, car lights, etc - so later on you don't confuse them.  If someone so much as burps during the recording, say into the recorder "Jeff burped" right after it happens.

Answer 5

Ouija board

good hunting

Answer 6

Umm digital thermometer, night vision cameras or handheld video cameras. Well you need a thermometer to detect changes in the environment, such as "cold spots", which some believe accompany paranormal activity. You also need a camera of course to capture evidence of possible visual manifestations, like orbs, mist, and apparitions I think. Good luck!
