Lets Talk Tech…
An introduction to some of the better known Ghost Hunting tools of the trade
By, Paul Bradford SPI & GHI
Ok so as a ghost hunter you know that if you want to produce evidence then you’re going to need something to capture that evidence. Yes it’s a general rule of thumb that all you really need is a pen and paper and an open mind, but lets face it if it was that easy to prove the existence of ghosts most of us would go back to collecting stamps or soda caps, For me capturing, or at least attempting to capture evidence is the best part of the hunt. But how do we go about doing that? Being that there is only a handful of tools specifically designed for the use of Ghost Hunting how are you going to know what’s the best tool to use?
So should you take out that second mortgage for the latest thermal imaging camera or can you just spend $30 on a cheap digital camera. Let face it with so many different people telling you need this or you need that it can be somewhat overwhelming as to know what you really need. So heres a good rule for the person starting out:
Mel-8704 Pro Nav – Review

We recently acquired a Pro-Nav version of the Mel meter from Rusty of Haunted Downunder, the sole Australian distributor, and thought we’d see what this new meter can do.
The meter was designed with paranormal research in mind by Gary J. Galka of DAS Distribution and marketed through Pro Measure. The meter is named after Gary’s eldest daughter Melissa who passed away in 2004.
Gary’s intuitive approach to designing the meter shows heavily in its range of features and it’s also great to see that development is ongoing as new ideas are incorporated into updated models.
Although technically NOT the only instrument on the market able to simultaneously monitor EMF and temperature (many data loggers can do so with a range of sensors), it is without doubt the first to do so at such a low cost. But as far as dedicated EMF meters go, this is a first! The cost together with the fact the meter satisfies many of the paranormal investigator’s “wants” in a EMF meter, assures this will become one of the most popular units on the market.
