Ghost Hunting Equipment Guides

For Infra Red and Thermal Cameras, just as a thought, these cost a LOT of money.... So, if you want one of these things, the easiest way to get one, is to go to your Fire Department, and see if they have an old one laying around that they aren't using anymore after they get upgrades. My Cousin is a Firefighter, and he goes to places too that are supposed to be Haunted because we've been interested in this stuff since we were little kids, and a Fire Department will normally have all these thermal tools because they use them in fire calls. Well, when they get upgrades, they may be willing to sell them off to you for a cheaper price than the 5 - 10,000 dollars the ENTRY level ones cost. They go up to like 100,000 dollars, and the entry ones are still like 5 grand, so getting them cheaper can help.

One thing you missed on this list is PERMISSION IN WRITING from the owner of a location you want to investigate so that when someone sees flashlights shining in there at 3 AM and call the cops on you, you won't get arrested. Very rarely is a cop going to think you're only there to record stuff and not steal anything.

My Uncle gets paid to do readings on places and usually, it's better to find out who actually owns a building. Someone working there saying "It should be fine" isn't going to hold up in court.

Find out who owns the building you want to look at, and get their permission in writing. Keep it with you, and have copies too, because, hey, if the place you're in is actually Haunted, you could lose the paper EASY.

Oh, and of course, Safety should be an issue. I'm not going to go into detail but not all Ghosts want you there. And even though attacks are rare, they have happened.

Also, if you bring people with you who like to act tough and say they aren't scared of anything, a change of clothes might be useful.

When they walk around saying they aren't scared and something touches them that doesn't seem to be there, and they shit their pants, you don't want to smell that all night.

Also, extra Batteries are good! A lot of times, when a place has activity, Batteries that were full when you walked in, can drain pretty fast.

Also, NEVER allow ANYONE, to go ANYWHERE... ANYWHERE, alone. It doesn't matter how tough you or they are, the buildings most people want to be in for this type of thing are generally REALLY old, and you can be in danger just from a floor collapsing. Also, in a very active location, being ALONE in there, is NOT an alright thing.

This doesn't make you a pussy because you have someone else there. It does however, help not only document something you can't get on camera, but also, when you're alone, you're more likely to misinterpret sounds, get paranoid and start hearing things that may not actually be happening, and of course, having someone to hold another camera if your camera is knocked out of your hands, can help too.

If you're in a place alone and something turns your camera off, or drains the batteries, or makes you drop it, or pulls it out of your hands, you have no way to prove it, and you're probably going to piss yourself. I know I would. And having someone else there with a camera, will help document what happened, or at the very least, back up your story.

No to mention that having everyone together helps to rule out "Oh that walking is probably Frank"....Well, maybe it's better if Frank is with you so you know it is!
