Ghost Hunting Tools

Psychic ghost hunter Fiona Broome discusses ghost hunting tools.

Using the K-II meter as an example, she comments on the benefits and liabilities of highly sensitive, high-tech ghost hunting equipment.

The more sensitive the equipment, the more it will detect normal -- but often unnoticed -- phenomena, in addition to the paranormal.  For this reason, researchers must do far more extensive baseline studies before relying on sensitive equipment to document ghosts.

The more complex the ghost hunting equipment, the more it can hold the attention of the researcher.  This is a liability as well. 

Fiona suggests that EMF surges, orbs, cold spots, etc. aren't the ghosts; they could be signs of ghosts, or an indication that the door between the worlds has just opened.  If you're busy watching the flashing lights on the meter, you might miss seeing an actual apparition or other spectacular paranormal display.

Fiona also notes that the absence of EMF could be as important as EMF spikes in haunted settings.

Fiona recommends relying primarily on your five (or six) senses.  Ghost hunting tools can support and document paranormal experiences, but they shouldn't be the only way we connect with the ghosts around us.
