K2 KII EMF Meter
This is the EMF meter frequently used on the Ghost Hunters show. I own one and I used it on my last ghost hunt at Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky and loved it. It worked great and seems to have great battery life. I will be using it again on my next ghost hunting trip to Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia coming up next week.

Fluke 62 Mini Infrared Thermometer
I don’t currently own this infrared thermometer but I’ve met several people who do and they highly recommend it. I’m planning to purchase one soon and promise to do a more in depth review once I’ve tried it out for myself.

Olympus WS-500 Digital Voice Recorder
This is the digital voice recorder that I take with me on my ghost hunts and it has some great features. One very important feature is the ability to use the earphones while recording. This allows you to hear those EVPs live as well as recording them as evidence, a definite plus for ghost hunters.

Samsung SL30 10MP Digital Camera
Having a good quality digital camera is another important piece of equipment for ghost hunting. This camera is small, light weight and easy to carry in a pocket but still has some great features. One of the features I find very important while ghost hunting is the rapid shoot feature. This allows me to point the camera, hold down the button and take up to 30 rapid fire shots in a matter of seconds. Perfect for capturing those elusive spirits.

The Spirit Box SB7 – (Deluxe Package)
And finally, for the serious ghost hunter, there is the Spirit Box. I haven’t used one before but I’ve seen them demonstrated at a ghost hunting seminar and seen one used in action by Chris Fleming and they seem like an interesting piece of equipment to try. This is another item I plan to add to my ghost hunters tool kit soon.
