Below is a list of various equipment that is used in the field of paranormal investigation. Most of the equipment listed here is used by Long Island Society for Paranormal Research. Although LISPR uses most of this equipment, it is not necessary for the average person who is interested in the paranormal to use all of it. All you really need is a camera, and audio recorder and and alot of patience.

35MM Camera- The traditional film camera. Analog cameras capture a still image on 35mm film

Audio Recorder (Digital)- A device that records sound and then stores it electronically.

Audio Recorder (Analog)- Like it's counterpart, this device records sound on an analog tape as opposed to electronically.

Digital Camera- An electronic device used to capture and store photographs electronically instead of using photographic film like conventional cameras. Modern compact digital cameras are typically multifunctional, with some devices capable of recording sound and/or video as well as photographs.

DVR - A device that records video without videotape to a hard drive-based digital storage medium.

EMF Meter- EMF stands for Electro Magnetic Field. This is a device that originally was designed for electricians to detect leakage of electricity around electrical outlets and/or electrical panels. It is believed that ghosts give off an electromagnetic field and can be detected with this meter.

Flashlight- Self explanatory, any flashlight will do to help prevent any accidents.

IR Camera- A device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light.

Infrared (IR) Thermometer (w/probe)- Measure temperature using blackbody radiation (generally infrared) emitted from objects. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers to describe the device’s ability to measure temperature from a distance. By knowing the amount of infrared energy emitted by the object and its emissivity, the object's temperature can be determined. This device only detects temperature on solid objects. To get an air reading, you must have a thermometer with a probe.

Thermal Imager- Sometimes called a FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed), or an infrared camera less specifically, is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light.

Tri-Field Meter-a meter which combines magnetic, electric and radio/microwave detectors in one handheld, compact, portable, time saving, easy to use instrument, allowing fast & accurate coverage of the entire nonionizing electromagnetic spectrum.
