The Tools of the Ghost Hunting Trade

Mel Meters

Mel Meters are versatile devices specifically designed for ghost hunting. These meters measure electromagnetic fields (EMF), which are believed to indicate the presence of ghosts, and temperature, as it is thought that paranormal activity can cause sudden drops in temperature. Combining both functions in one device, the Mel Meter allows investigators to detect and document potential paranormal occurrences.

REM Pods

REM (Radiating Electromagnetism) Pods are another valuable tool in a ghost hunter's arsenal. These devices create a bubble of electromagnetic energy around themselves, which can be easily disrupted by the presence of a spirit. When the energy field is broken, the REM Pod emits an audible alarm and lights up, alerting investigators to potential paranormal activity in the area.

K2 Meters

K2 Meters, also known as EMF detectors, are devices used to measure electromagnetic fields. Like the Mel Meter, these tools are designed to detect fluctuations in EMF levels, which could suggest the presence of a spirit. K2 Meters are popular among ghost hunters for their ease of use and quick response time.

SLS Camera

The SLS (Structured Light Sensor) Camera is a unique piece of equipment that captures real-time, three-dimensional images of the environment. It works by projecting a pattern of infrared light onto surfaces and analyzing the reflected light to map out the space. When the camera detects a figure or shape that doesn't align with the physical environment, it can potentially indicate the presence of a ghost.

Flir Thermal Camera

Thermal cameras, such as the Flir Thermal Camera detect infrared radiation to create a visual representation of temperature variations. Ghost hunters use these cameras to identify cold spots or unexplained heat signatures, which might indicate the presence of a spirit.

Paranormal Trip Wire

Paranormal trip wires are essentially motion sensors that detect movement in a specific area. When a spirit or any other entity crosses the trip wire, it triggers an alarm, alerting investigators to potential paranormal activity. You can create your own paranormal trip wire system using simple motion sensors a bit of ingenuity.
