Ghost Hunting introduction

Ghost hunters use a variety or analog and electronic equipment to detect or record ghostly haunting, sounds or other paranormal happenings. A digital recorder or a cassette type recorder is becoming very popular for ghost hunting.

These are uses for trying to capture EVP's or Electronic Voice Phenomenon. With ghost hunting groups getting large and more professional in nature it is not uncommon for those investigating a haunting to have night vision goggles. More elaborate equipment could be thermal imaging cameras and these are often used by fire departments and can sometimes be found as surplus equipment when looking around online.
