Why Reducing White Noise is Essential for Capturing Clear EVPs

Image
And How the SB11 ANC and ANC Mini Are Game-Changers for Paranormal Investigators If you've ever reviewed an entire investigation’s worth of ghost hunting recordings only to be left guessing at whether a faint sound was a possible EVP or just background static, you're not alone. White noise has long been a double-edged sword in EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) sessions-used as a spirit communication aid but often interfering with audio clarity. That’s why serious investigators are focused on white noise reduction as the key to unlocking more convincing and intelligible EVPs. What Is White Noise and Why Does It Matter? White noise is the static, hissing background sound generated by spirit boxes and similar devices. While it’s thought to help spirits communicate by offering a soundbed to manipulate, too much white noise can drown out the very voices you’re trying to capture . This can make evidence harder to review and even lead to false positives or misinterpretation. The goal ...

What to Look for When Ghost Hunting: A Guide from the Field

Image
Whether you're heading into your first ghost hunt or you're an experienced hunter, it’s important to know what to look for during a paranormal investigation. Paranormal activity isn’t what television or movies show with full bodied visible ghosts and items flying off of shelves.Often, it's the subtle shifts in environment-temperature drops, static spikes, unusual EMF readings-that signal something beyond the veil is near. We’ve spent years testing tools in the field and working with our investigators. Here’s a guide to th signs of possible paranormal activity-and the best gear to help you detect them. 1. EMF Spikes Unexplained electromagnetic field (EMF) fluctuations are one of the most common indicators of a potential haunting. Spirits are thought to manipulate energy, which can show up as unusual spikes. What to look for: Sudden spikes in EMF levels without a natural cause (no electrical panels, appliances, or wiring nearby) EMF readings that coincide with personal experi...

Minimizing False Positives in Paranormal Investigations

Image
When you're deep into a paranormal investigation, there's nothing more exciting than seeing your equipment react-or hearing that possible EVP through your spirit box. But experienced ghost hunters know that not every blip, beep, or voice is paranormal. Sometimes, it’s just a false positive. False positives can come from all sorts of sources-electrical interference, human error, environmental factors, stray radio stations, or even the equipment itself. Minimizing false positives is key to gathering credible evidence. Here’s how to cut down on false positives and sharpen the accuracy of your paranormal investigations. 1. Use High-Quality Equipment Designed for Investigators Cheap or poorly made equipment can be overly sensitive-or not sensitive enough-causing it to react to mundane stimuli. At Ghost Hunters Equipment, we carry high quality tools specifically made for paranormal research. From EMF Meters to Spirit Boxes , we’ve got you covered. 2. Test Your Equipment One of the m...

Paranormal Activity Escalates at Dixie House

Image
Did you know that in addition to top rated equipment, we also offer the best ghost hunting experiences in one of the most haunted cities in America? The following was relayed to us by one of our paranormal investigators. A Chilling Encounter at Dixie House One early evening, our guide Lew arrived at the notoriously haunted Dixie House with two guests from the Everdark Express tour. As part of our regular investigation setup, he switched on the REM Pod, one of the most trusted tools in our paranormal gear lineup. Immediately, the device lit up yellow-completely silent at first. Then, the green light began flashing rapidly, and it let out its signature tone, signaling possible spirit interaction. Equipment Interference: A Familiar Pattern Lew then attempted to use the SLS camera, another key piece of ghost hunting tech designed to detect human-like shapes that aren't visible to the naked eye. Even though its battery was fully charged, the camera kept shutting off. This immediately ma...
