Equipment Guide

Learn how to effectively use every piece of ghost hunting equipment to gather evidence and survive investigations.

Thermometer

1The thermometer reads the ambient temperature of the room you are pointing it at, updating every few seconds.
2Temperatures below 0C (32F) indicate Freezing Temperatures evidence -- sweep the ghost room thoroughly.
3The thermometer is your best tool for quickly narrowing down the ghost room at the start of an investigation.
4Rooms adjacent to the ghost room may also show lower temperatures, so check multiple rooms to confirm.
5Higher-tier thermometers provide faster and more accurate readings, making ghost room identification quicker.

1The EMF Reader detects electromagnetic disturbances on a scale of 1-5, with Level 5 being a unique evidence type.
2Place it near objects the ghost frequently interacts with for passive monitoring during investigations.
3EMF Level 2 indicates a recent ghost interaction, Level 3 means a thrown object, and Level 4 is a ghost event.
4The reader has a limited detection range, so position it centrally in the ghost room for best coverage.
5Carry it while roaming to detect ghost presence in real-time during the early location-finding phase.

1UV Lights reveal Ultraviolet fingerprints left on doors, light switches, and windows after ghost interactions.
2Glowsticks serve the same purpose but can be placed on the ground to provide continuous UV coverage.
3Check door handles on both sides -- fingerprints can appear on either side of a door the ghost has touched.
4Fingerprints expire after approximately 60 seconds, so re-check after each ghost interaction you hear.
5UV evidence is one of the easiest to confirm or rule out early in an investigation -- check it first.

1Hold the Spirit Box and ask questions aloud (or type them) to receive potential ghost responses.
2Common effective questions include: "Where are you?", "How old are you?", "What do you want?", and "Are you here?".
3Some ghosts only respond when you are alone in the room -- ask teammates to step outside.
4The Spirit Box has a limited range and works best when you are in or near the ghost room.
5If you get an "X" response with no voice, the ghost is nearby but does not have Spirit Box evidence.

1Place the Ghost Writing Book on a flat surface in the ghost room and wait for the ghost to write in it.
2The ghost must be in the same room as the book to interact with it -- room identification is critical.
3Writing can take time to appear -- leave the book and check back periodically rather than watching continuously.
4Multiple books can be placed in different suspected rooms to cover more ground during uncertain investigations.
5Once writing appears, it confirms Ghost Writing as evidence -- the content of the writing is purely cosmetic.
