Our Equipment

L.O.G.S. equipment and why we use it:

EMF Detectors:

 It is believed that ghosts (and the living for that matter) have an electrical or magnetic field.  We use the EMF detectors to let us know when we are in the presence of these electrical or magnetic fields and to track these fields to more possible evidence of their existence.  An EMF detector will also go off when there is exposed wiring, faulty electrical equipment, and a host of other reasons which is why an EMF detector can not be the only equipment used on an investigation.

Digital Audio Recorders:

 Thomas Edison first reported that one can hear disembodied voices in recordings. Now with the technology of digital recording devices and computer programs designed to amplify and clean up, we are able to hear what ghosts are saying to us.  Often they will answer the questions the investigators are verbally asking throughout the investigations only we most often do not hear them with our own ears.  This is what is known as an EVP (or electronic voice phenomonon).

Video Recorders:

 The Holy Grail of Paranormal Investigations is the actual visual proof of a ghost.  We use video recorders that can work in low light to try and capture visual evidence.

Digital Thermometers:

 There is theory that when a ghost tries to manifest itself it needs to draw energy out of the environment.  Sometimes this occurs through strange cold or hot spots recorded by digital thermometers.  There may be a variance of 20-30 degrees from this specific spot to the rest of the environment. 

Digital Cameras:

Digital cameras offer us the ability to take a flash picture and possibly record evidence of ghosts.  They are nice because you don't have to get the photos developed and you can delete them if you have nothing.  On the other hand by not having actual negatives there is no proof that the photo has not been tampered with.   

IR Cameras & DVR: 

 IR (Infa Red) cameras are of great use to Paranormal Investigators because these cameras can record in little to no light at all and can pick up things that our regular cameras can not.  We often will hook up the IR camera to our DVR and record multiple hours in a reported hotspot. 

Motion Detectors:

 These little pieces of equipment will let us know if anything is near or has broken the line of the motion detectors.  Usually an alarm will sound when these are triggered and could tell us that a presence is near by or that someone is trying to either tamper with or steal our equipment. 

These are some but not all of the equipment that goes into an investigation.  The most amazing part of an investigation is that after an investigation wraps up the team has many, many, did I say many hours of evidence to review before we can accertain what if anything is going on.
