This "ghost hunting equipment" section was
created just to show prospective clients as
well as future investigators just a bit of
equipment that we use while investigating.

For any paranormal
investigator, a camera is a
must have.  PROOF members
use infrared, digital, as well as
standard photography, in an
attempt to detect paranormal
activity.  Any camera can work,
but digital technology offers its
obvious advantages economically.
Audio recording devices come in
handy when investigating.  
These are used for capturing
EVPs.  People often argue about
using either analog or digital
audio recorders.  PROOF
utilizes both of these devices,
and both seem to work just
fine.  Digital makes things a bit
more simple though.
EMF detectors detect
fluctuations in the
electromagnetic field.  
Disturbances in the field may
indicate possible spirit activity,
but the user must be careful,
as many electronic items can
produce waves that will set an
EMF detector off.
A thermal imaging camera allows us
to see heat and/or cold in an area.
 This can be an excellent tool for
identifying cold spots, and their
EXACT shape.
A camcorder is another luxury type
item that can be done without, yet
is great to have around.  PROOF
uses digital technology, but a
regular camcorder can be a great
tool.  Note: Any Sony line of digital
camcorders with NightShot Plus
technology is recommended.
Infrared cameras are a great
thing to have around, although
not a necessity at all.  These
allow PROOF members to see in
the complete darkness, and
allow us to record this as well.  
Infrared picks up things that
the human eye could never see,
even in total daylight, making
this an interesting tool.
Our digital video recording system
allows us to run our infrared
cameras directly into its hard
drive where hours and hours of
video can be recorded.  It can also
be viewed, or played back later,
from a quad-split view.
If a PROOF member feels the
needs to go flashlight-free for a
bit, then no problem.  Our night
vision goggles can take care of
this.  They feature a sonic super
ear as well, for help with hearing
the smallest little noises clearly.
Digital thermometers come in
handy for detecting cold spots,
which are thought to be brought
about by spirit activity.  
Infrared thermometers, as
shown in one example here, are
available, but not necessary.  A
slightly less luxurious
thermocouple based digital
indoor/outdoor thermometer
(seen above on the right) can do
the trick.
Infrared Illuminators help our
infrared cameras to see even
more clearly in the dark, by
emitting waves of light that
only our IR cams and night
goggles can see; giving us crisp,
clean, night vision.
A computer as well as an audio
editing program such as shown,
are also very handy for storing
results, as well as cleaning up
possible EVP files on your
recorder.  These are also not
exactly necessities, but becoming
them very quickly these days.
Remember, your best tools are always open eyes, ears, and mind.  
Have fun and be safe if you are planning on investigating on your own!!  
Always remember that PROOF is here to do it for you, and FOR FREE!
