Copper Dowsing Rod with Instructions & Pendulum

The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor

This EMF sensor is an outstanding tool for the novice ghost hunter. It's compact and simple to operate but still sensitive enough to detect the small and distinct electromagnetic energy fluctuations that are frequently sought out at haunted locations. Honestly, when it comes down to price, this little sensor is the one to start with.

Lutron 822-1 Fully Digital EMF Meter

The world of EMF meters is vast, indeed, but this fully digital option is a common go-to for many ghost hunters. A bit more in-depth (and definitely a lot more digital) than the Ghost Meter featured above but still just as simple to use.  If you're a little skeptical and prefer a more analog option, this K2 KII EMF Meter is just as reliable.

REM POD ATDD Radiating EM Antenna Ghost Hunting Tool

Kind of along the same lines as a handheld EMF meter, this REM Pod is different in that you can set it down and it will alert you to spirit activity around it via LED lights and an audible tone thanks to its telescopic antenna, freeing your hands up for other ghost hunting equipment and activities.

P-SB7 Spirit Box & Orbital Bluetooth Universal Speaker Kit

The creme de la creme of spirit communication detection! By setting the device to an AM or FM band at a rapid rate of speed, spirits are encouraged to manipulate the energy of the audio fragments to form words to answer questions posed by the investigators. So spooky! This exact configuration has been used by Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures so if it's good enough for a popular spooky show it's definitely good enough for your ghost hunt.

Zoom H4N PRO Digital Multitrack Recorder

When you're trying to capture audio recordings of a disembodied spirit (lovingly called an EVP which stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena) this multitrack recorder is the one for the job. Thanks to advanced microphones, a super-low noise floor you and powerful playback, you're sure to pick up plenty of sounds otherwise undetected by the human ear. It is pricey, however, so feel free to start with a more run-of-the-mill digital voice recorder paired with some reliable headphones to further research your findings.

This little powerhouse piece of equipment is well worth the investment even if it never actually goes on a ghost hunt.
