Paranormal Investigation/Ghost Hunting Gear: How to Use It Right and Avoid False Alarms

Image
As previously discussed, the instrumentalist-engineer approach is one way to find the truth about the paranormal. Instruments can help reveal the unseen, providing data to support paranormal research.  However, commonly used tools are not 100% reliable. This guide shows how these tools are used, what can cause “false positives,” and practical tips to keep your investigations accurate and credible.  It’s designed to help you avoid being misled and to strengthen your position against skeptics and debunkers . I will continuously update this chart whenever I find new information or equipment. Paranormal Equipment Guide (currently 33  items) Equipment How It's Used False Positives Tips Air Quality Monitoring Equipment Detects changes in air composition (CO₂, particulates, humidity, and other gases like CO, NO₂, O₃) that may coincide with reported paranormal activity.

If you're interested in the paranormal, you've probably realized that finding the truth isn't easy. That’s why we need to make the most of every resource available to us.

ANALYZE: What are the key factors/components involved? 3. REASON: What logical connections can I make? 4. SYNTHESIZE: How do these elements combine? 5.

Q: How do we differentiate seeing spirits from mental illness?

Image
I’m currently writing a blog post that explores the difference between mental illness and paranormal phenomena. But I want to make sure it’s well-researched and includes all the essential information before I share it here. For now, I just want to share this insightful analysis by ChatGPT, because I found it quite informative and thought-provoking. I found this discussion on Reddit, more specifically, in r/Paranormal : One of the replies was bothersome for me, so I asked ChatGPT to analyze it. My Prompt: "please analyze this statement thoroughly" then I copy-pasted it ChatGPT's reply: ๐Ÿง  Full Analysis of the Statement: Original Statement Summary (by CountyFamous1475): There is no scientific evidence for spirits or psychic abilities. There is a lot of scientific evidence for mental illness causing hallucinations. There’s scientific evidence people lie or seek attention. People also misinterpret reality, especially under stress or social suggestion. ๐Ÿ” Brea...

Ghost Hunting vs Paranormal Investigation

Image
Q: Is Ghost Hunting the same as Paranormal Investigation? Ghost Hunting usually refers to: A recreational or semi-professional activity Focused only on  finding or documenting ghosts or hauntings Often reliant on TV-inspired methods like using EMF detectors, EVP recorders, spirit boxes, infrared cams, etc. More focused on experiential evidence (what you hear, feel, or record) Commonly conducted by hobbyists or enthusiasts May lack a deep investigation framework or skepticism. It  technically  fits under the umbrella of "paranormal investigation"—which simply means  looking into unexplained or anomalous phenomena. However, many ghost hunts: Don't test alternate hypotheses Lack research design Don’t always document rigorously So while ghost hunting  is  a form of paranormal investigation  in spirit  (pun intended ๐Ÿ˜), it’s often a  very narrow and informal version  of it. Paranormal Investigation , especially as pr...
