Tools of the Trade
Aggieland Ghost Hunters uses a variety of tools and equipment to conduct their investigations. Standard equipment includes Digital Video Recorders with night vision, as well as digital cameras. To further increase our chances of finding evidence, we also use the following tools:
Digital Voice Recorder- Can be used to pick up voices/sounds that are otherwise inaudible to the human ear. Some groups have had great success in picking up spirit communication.
"EVP's (Electronic Voice Phenomena) come in a wide range of styles. Some EVPs are load and clear, while others are much softer and need headphones or amplification to hear. And still others are either low, garbled or otherwise unclear. While there could be many reasons why EVPs come in such a wide variety of styles, to better help describe the characteristics of an EVP paranormal investigators and researchers often use a classification system to rate the quality of an EVP recording. The follow is the classifications of EVPs that are generally accepted and used by paranormal researchers and investigators: Class A - This type of EVP is loud, clear and of very high quality. The voice is easily understandable and does not need enhancement or amplification. Class A EVPs are also often (but not always) in direct response to a question being asked. Class B - This is the most common type of EVP. This type of EVP is of somewhat lower quality and clarity than a Class A EVP but still very audible. Class B EVPs often do need some amount of enhancement or amplification to be heard clearer. The voice may not be clear enough to be totally understood or there may be disagreement as to what it is saying. Class B EVPs are often not in direct response to a question. Class C - This is the lowest quality EVP. With a Class C EVP even the best enhancement and amplification may not be sufficient to make the voice audible or clear. There may even be debate whether or not an EVP is actually present." (via liparanormalinvestigators.com)
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Detector- The theory behind using this device is that spirits can emit a electro magnetic force that can be picked up on this device.
Digital Thermometer- Used to measure “cold spots.” The theory is that presence of ghost will cause a sudden drop in temperature in a certain area. This device uses a infrared pointer to target these cold spots.
