The K2 meter is a popular, easy-to-use tool to detect spikes in electromagnetic energy. These spikes are indicated by the multicolor lights at the top of the meter, which may signify activity or communication from spirits from the other side. It’s widely used by professional ghost hunters.Barbara Leolini
Ghost hunting enthusiasts invest large sums of money on equipment designed to detect potential hoaxing devices, read changes in air flow or energy fields, and even record electronic voice phenomena. A complete basic kit costs about $5,000 —more, of course, if you want the very best. Photographer Barbara Leolini has met Italy’s ghost hunters.
The Natural EM Meter detects radio/microwaves and changes in extremely weak static (DC or “Natural”) electric and magnetic fields. It is so highly sensitive that it will detect the presence of body parts. What makes this unit so useful for paranormal work is the audio tone which alerts the user to activity in the vicinity of the meter. Several meters can be placed throughout a location unattended to track the movement of activity.Barbara LeoliniThe K2 meter is a popular, easy-to-use tool to detect spikes in electromagnetic energy.

Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum which includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, gamma, and X-rays. Any object warmer than absolute zero emits energy somewhere within that range. If something invisible to the naked eye gets in between the IR heat signature you will get a colder temperature reading.Barbara LeoliniBlack light, also known as UV light, is used to aid in the detection of hoaxing devices sometimes found in a suspected haunted area. When used properly, this light is capable of revealing thin laser lights, fishing lines, holograms, transparencies, and other devices sometimes used in ghost hoaxes.Barbara LeoliniWithin ghost hunting and parapsychology, Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are sounds found on electronic recordings that are interpreted as spirit voices that have been either unintentionally recorded or intentionally requested and recorded. They are sounds found on electronic and analog recordings ranging from knocking sounds, footsteps, and garbled noises or growls to distinct voices. They are usually only perceivable once a recording is played backwards.Barbara LeoliniAn infrared video light enables you to film in near and absolute darkness. It produces enough visible light to helps most cameras without night vision capability to get a picture while maintaining low light.Barbara LeoliniA full-spectrum camera is important to paranormal research due to the fact that it will capture images that are invisible to the human eye. This camcorder has been modified to see the full light spectrum from IR and UV, as well as visible light.Barbara LeoliniWalkie talkies allow communication with your ghost-hunting partners. If you are investigating a house and you have people scattered all over, they are essential.Barbara LeoliniAn anomometer, also called an airflow meter or wind speed meter, is a meteorological tool that tracks currents through a room for documentation and mapping of your ghost hunting location. The natural movement of air in a room can be calculated.Barbara Leolini
