How Particle Detectors Are Useful in Ghost Hunting

Image
What Is a Particle Detector? In simple terms, a particle detector measures the number of airborne particles in a given space. Originally designed for clean room environments and air quality monitoring, these devices are incredibly sensitive—able to detect even the smallest changes in particulate matter like dust, pollen, smoke, and other fine particles. So why would ghost hunters care about air particles? Because paranormal investigators have long reported unexplained drops or spikes in air quality and particle activity during hauntings. Think about those classic reports: cold spots, sudden stillness, or strange misty apparitions. A particle counter gives you real-time, measurable data that may correlate with those exact moments. Particle Counters and Orbs: Separating Dust from the Mysterious One of the most debated topics in the paranormal world? Orbs . We’ve all seen those glowing circles that show up in photos or video footage during investigations. The million-dollar question is: a...

Unlocking the Unknown: A Look at The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook

Image
The Complete Paranormal Handbook If you’ve ever felt curious about hauntings, ghosts, and how to start hunting them, The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook might just become your new favorite read. Written by Richard Palmisano and Peter J. Roe (of Canada’s Searcher Group), this guide aims to guide serious paranormal research. Why This Book Matters There are plenty of ghost-hunting how-tos out there - some full of theatrics, some others skeptical. What sets this book apart is its blend of seriousness and accessibility. Palmisano and Roe draw on over four decades of hands-on experience, trial and error, and field work. Their goal? To help individuals and teams take investigations beyond the cookie-cutter toolkit and start asking better questions, with better structure. Rather than focusing only on whether ghosts “exist” (they assume you already believe they do), the authors focus on how to do investigations that are organized, repeatable, and honest. That makes it useful whether...

From Xbox to the Paranormal: How the Kinect SLS Became a Ghost Hunting Essential

Image
What started as a piece of gaming tech has taken on a spooky second life. The Kinect SLS system-originally designed for Xbox-has now become one of the most exciting pieces of ghost hunting equipment available today. Thanks to its ability to map out “figures” in three dimensions, investigators use it to capture possible spirits on camera and add a visual element to their investigations. How the Kinect SLS Works The SLS camera (Structured Light Sensor) projects a grid of invisible infrared dots to create a 3D map of the room. In gaming, it tracked body movements to control characters on-screen. In paranormal investigations, though, it has an eerie twist: sometimes it detects stick-figure shapes where no person is visible. This makes the Kinect SLS one of the most intriguing pieces of modern ghost hunting equipment. Imagine setting it up in a haunted location and suddenly seeing a stick figure waving or crouching in thin air-that’s the kind of evidence investigators are after. Why Paranor...

EMFs and Ghost Hunting: Why Investigators Use Them

Image
EMFs in Ghost Hunting Equipment When it comes to the paranormal, one of the most used tools in an investigator’s kit are EMF meters . EMF stands for electromagnetic field, and many ghost hunters believe that sudden changes in these fields can signal paranormal activity. Whether you’re new to investigating or a seasoned explorer of the unknown, understanding EMFs can make your ghost hunts a lot more exciting. What Are EMFs, Anyway? Electromagnetic fields are all around us-produced by everything from your phone charger to power lines. Normally, these readings are steady and predictable. But when an EMF meter spikes in a spot where there shouldn’t be electrical activity, it can raise some interesting questions. Ghost hunters have long suggested that spirits might interact with or manipulate these fields, which is why EMF meters are a staple in paranormal research. EMFs in Paranormal Investigations During an investigation, ghost hunters often use EMF meters to establish a baseline reading ...
