Ghost hunter.....(Bangin)

....I've always wondered how it is exactly you guys go about 'hunting' for ghosts. And why on earth you guys just don't find someone like myself and have them tell you exactly where they are, what they are there for ect.
I have another question to if I may...why? Honestly. I now it's a curious thing and I'm very interested. But I figured I was interested more than most.
Oh - and also, let's say there was some kind of gadget that could tell you if there was a ghost in the room with you. Chances are the thing would be going off all the time. Well, I guess maybe they are around me more than others, but I really always had the idea that they were pretty much everywhere.
(forgive if this isn't worded well - nothing but tequilla sunrise for lunch/dinner then started in on the beer (had to have something to drink on my walk - LOL - have to keep fit.)
Hmmm.....re-reading this I sound a bit sarcastic and testy - I assure you I really am not....I really would like to know about what you do and why. But ya know - some times trying to fix the "foot in the mouth" thing only makes it worse - so do forgive ahead of time?

Isn't there some type of electromagnetic thing you can get, that senses the energy of a ghost, i've seen them for sale on other paranormal web sites.

well im not a ghost hunter but the idea interests me id like to go into a so called haunted house and do some tests...

If you feel a cold chill in the room and all of your electrical equipment goes haywire probably a good chance that there is a ghost present.

I would LOVE to spend some time in a haunted house!
Oh - that cold room and all --- there are maybe 1 out of 50 non-physical friends or even less that I can actualy physicaly feel in one way or another. And even 90% of those can 'not' (as in not touch or call to you - or what ever it is they do to make you feel them.)

As far as the ghosts hunters go...do you guys distinguish between entitie and ghost ect. What kind of catigories do you put the ghosts in?

AngelaLadyS,
I'm not concerned with you possibly sounding sarcastic or testy. To be quite honest, I don't know anyone 'like yourself' nor am I 100% convinced of your/others capabilities. I'm sure that's because I don't have a relationship that offers direct knowledge.

Ghost hunting is a hobby for me. I do have, what some of you have referred to, an EMF (electro magnetic field) meter. This device is supposed to detect changes in that field. These changes can be attributed to ghosts (depending on measurements). The changes can also be caused by other electronic devices, power lines etc. I equip myself with two cameras, a 35mm and a digital. I am in the process of purchasing a video camcorder with infrared capability. So called ghosts have been caught with infrared technology and the results are spectacular! I always take my microcassette recorder with me to catch EVP's (electronic voice phenomena). I have four EVP's of my own. Rich has posted some of his EVP's in this section before. Please remember that not all people believe in ghosts and they dismiss others findings with GREAT ease. I, on the other hand, find it very difficult to dismiss my recordings of alleged ghost voices because they've actually answered my questions as I asked them. Anyhow, I frequently visit cemeteries, older abandoned buildings/houses and even ghost towns. If any of you have an interest, as The Blade Runner mentioned, then I'd recommend trying some of this out for yourself. The results may surprise you.

Well - if your anywhere near St. Louis Mo any time soon do give a hollar....I have a heck of a house for you to check out!
I would love to see those electronical gadgets work. At one time I didn't believe such a thing could work - but thinking on it - non-pysical does have energy, and energy can be detected.
Oh - I was told one time to turn on my tape recorder. I did - I didn't hear a thing when played back. Is there some special tape or recording process you have to use?

i use long play minidisc for recording evp..digital camcorders are another good one... aswell as digital cameras...

where did you get the EMF (electro magnetic field) meter
i wouldnt mind seeing what freqencey it is.. if it radiowave freq be cool to put that into a scanner and wait for noise as it were ...

have you ever tryed lights like ultra violet infrared ect ect...

or used animals ...

digital themometers with censors all around the place...


this is exacally the kind of thing i want to do but with some mad people in the middle playing with a oujia board..

asking questions like show us something or show yourself....

evp is usually, like if you were recording a 2 way conversation not meaning to pick up a ghost sometimes you hear other voices on the tape, disc, even though nobody else was in the room and there was no background noise....

its very freaky when it happens..

ussually the unknown voice/s say one word such as a name...

AngelaLadyS,
I'm in Texas, but I'll keep you in mind the next time I'm in St. Louis. Your house sounds very interesting. To answer your question about recording, I don't think it makes much difference which recorder you use. You must use an extended mic to avoid recording noise from the motor. I use a $25 GE microcassette recorder which came with an extended mic. It works great for me.

The Blade Runner,
You've mentioned a few handy items for ghost hunting. I've only been hunting for a couple of months, so I lack equipment. I do not have any infrared equipment, but that's next on my list! (infrared=$) BTW, I use a cellsensor guassmeter.."Gaussmeter feature is calibrated around 50/60 Hz" Hope this helps.

EVP's are the most exciting for me. It's amazing hearing yourself (time of playback) ask a question and then getting a response!

thermal imaging and night vision is allso another interesting possibility, now ive never tryed anything other than cameras and sound recording but, i was wondering could ghosts be under a different specutrum ect ect...

i would like to try it out...

i dont think infra red and ultra violet tubes would do much, but its worth a try...

well ive never actucally done any serious ghost hunting/spirit stuff, if i had money id love to do it...

by the way if your interested in infra red buy some pir (passive infra red) alarm censors and wire them up to an led circuit, with zones on them for each room. maybe they will work maybe they wont. but there is allways a possibility..

i have allways wondered if spirits ghosts could set house alarm sensors off...

as for ultra violet , get some backlight tubes ect see if anything glows, maybe walk about with a backlight on a hat and spay uv ink in the air, who knows...

i know to some people this sounds silly. but if you dont try it, how you going to know it works....

i need to try this stuff, i have so many ideas about spirit and ghost hunting...

i was suppost to be booking a few nights in a haunted house, but unfortunatly that isnt a possibility anymore, so i am going to have to make parranormal activity come to me...

this is why i am curious about the oujia board..

if its spirits cool.. maybe i can get some concreate evidence of activity and proove something...

if its subconscience, maybe i can proove humans can move objects ie smashing glasses against walls without touching by thought...

imagine it got into mainstream media...

you can garrentie if i ever come accross anything weird ill give ats exclusive rights to it!!!

I don't know about the 'tubes', but I've seen some good infrared footage. The most common form are orbs...they aren't as impressive on a photograph, but they look really cool on video camera. Here's a link to a few clips that were recorded with infrared:

***I'm digging through my drawers now hoping to find "evp" written on the recorder somewhere. I am completely ignorent about most of that kind of thing. I use it only, don't know a thing about it otherwise. (HANG TIGHT - STILL LOOKING...)
Well crap! I can't find the darned thing anywhere. But if you'll help me get the right one (tell me what to look for) I'll go out and get another and we can do a bit of experimenting. It should be easy enough - I can simply ask to speak with someone who can let their words be picked up on the tape. (Hang on while I ask - Maque is anxious to try...she wants to make a kissing noise. LOL!) Ok - Mine has vanished, just look for a tape recorder (voice only) that says something about evp on the box then? (what does that mean?)

***Where ever I am I take my friends with, LOL. But the house in question - or that needs a big can of lighter fluid and a match (very active house, very strong there) - that is a freind of mines house - there's been a few threads on that one. If your anywhere near Chorpus Christy I'll let you know when I go out to see my gram. Great - anything with an extended mic. I can do that.

BladeRunner: this is exacally the kind of thing i want to do but with some mad people in the middle playing with a oujia board..

You know, I'd like to see what would happen if you taped one person doing different things in one session, not stopping in between - continuos tape.
Say I was just relaxed and speaking with you, then speaking with one of my trusted non-physical friends, then when speaking with one of the 'not so good' non-physical beings, and (get goosebumps) also, to see what would appear or change when communicationg with one of those who are strong and (hate to say it, but bad), the ones who try to push you around ect and threaten to punish you if you don't co-opperate. Those don't come about often - but when they do... I'm not sure what kind of tape or film I'm talking about, I guess the kind that show heat or energy - they have different colors instead of an 'image' like a person ect.

evp = electronic voice phenomenom (spelling)

i prefer digital media instead of tape media, because if you film and something wierd happens it could be a glitch or a mark on the tape, previous recording, double exposure, ect ect, with digital media, digital cameras camcorders and minidiscs/cd ect ect, there is much less chance of that happening because the recording is digital and hard to corrupt...without writting on the media..

tapes ect can be dammaged with magnets and stuff...

i think digital is better for quality and reliablity

AngelaLadyS so you think that different things might happen with different temprement spirits...

I don't know much about the kinds of meters and gadgets they have, what exactly they measure or record....but I do know that there is a definate diference in the way I feel and there are some (thankfully not often) that - I don't know, if it was measureable, it would have to be off the scale.
I guess I was thinking of those aura pictures. I wonder if that would change. I've also often wondered why they have't put someone in a mri or catscan (whichever it is that makes those colard areas as to which part of the brain is functioning when different things are used) and see what happens when a connection is made.
I would love to see something - something that is measured and compare the two. There definately is a difference in something, I don't know what "something" we are talking about though. (Oh how I hate being so ignorent of these things!)
