For you DYI ghost hunters, there’s much available today to get you started. Although
there is no substitute for professional (Ahhh, are there really any
professional ghost hunters?) advice, going through some great websites
can give you a jump start.
My all time favorite and the site I went to first is Chuck’s Paranormal Adventures (http://www.chucksghosts.com/). He talks about equipment, evidence, offers a glossary of terms. He actually comes at it from both the scientific method, as well as the metaphysical, offering protection advice such as using holy water and sage, something I recommend. I met Chuck at a recent NJ Paraunity Expo. He is down to earth and offers good advice.

For
those of you who don’t want to sit in spooky places alone or seek the
camaraderie of like-minded people, there are lots of paranormal
investigation groups in New Jersey. Look them up on http://www.paranormalsocieties.com/state_list.cfm?state=nj. Perhaps there’s one near you.
Either way, there’s lots of expensive equipment out there that you can buy. The list is a long one: K2 EMF Detector, Laser Grid, P-SB7 Spirit Box, MelMeter 8407, Ovilus X, Rem-Pod, but a good video camera with night vision capabilities, a digital recorder and a still camera capable of taking a quick series of flash pictures will start you off quite nicely. If you have an old fashioned compass you have an inexpensive alternative to an EMF Detector. When it starts spinning there is a disturbance to take note of. They have even come out with an attachment for the iPhone 5 that will turn the camera into a Thermal Camera which, if purchased, can cost a couple thousand dollars. Cost of the attachment is a couple hundred dollars.

What is that you say? Don’t have even those kinds of funds. Explore the possibilities of iPhone and Android Apps. For
a few dollars you can arm your I phone or Android device with Apps that
accomplish some of the above for a fraction of the cost. Ghost
Radar is a hoot. Billed as “for entertainment purposes only," I have
gotten some pretty interesting results, like words pertinent to the
situation you are in or in response to a direct question. Here are a few
Apps but more come out each month:
- 1.) Align yourself with a group if possible.
- 2.) Protect yourself spiritually.
- 3.) Get the basic equipment.
- 4.) Acquaint yourself with the ethics of ghost hunting. There is a short article on line about this by Keith Norton of Michigan Institute of Life After Death Studies at : http://knorton13.tripod.com/id24.html
- 5.) Get started.
- 6.) Don’t get in over your head
