Investigating Paranormal Activity
A request was made for the more technical side of our work.
I will add that most of our work is purely sensory and my wife does not agree with the equipment side of things, but she goes along with it to keep the rest of the team happy, (boys with their toys) she calls it.
We have four wired night vision cctv cameras with phantom microphones of which are highly sensitive to the slightest sound which are connected to a 500GB DVR.
We were tempted to go wireless but after much discussion and advice we were advised not to because of the interference from many sources.
Other various equipment is several older tape decks; the older the better as digital has filters which are no good in our line of work.
Two Fuji cameras which are very good in low light conditions. Various trip meters, several computers and a night vision camcorder.
We are set up for live streaming on our website and have tested this last year, which was fairly successful.
As we have Nick on the team now we will be looking at improving our network feed.
Our main problem is that the DVR is security protected and is very difficult to transfer filming in large quantity so we are looking into direct feed into the computer as well as the DVR.
Our main result in filming is EVP (electronic voice phenomenon ). We have had so much that is very clear and we will eventually put it on our site for you to listen to.
We have not really advertised methods and how we work in depth because our main objective is to work with spirit and client. This always comes first and our filming and recording second.
Yes, we thought you would frown at that! But it is true, you see we are not searching for proof because we know it is there in the first place. If and when it does show on film,(a full apparition that is), we would be very surprised as we feel it will never happen.
“Why bother filming”, I can hear you say. Well, mainly for our own benefit, to see how we are working together but also the microphones are far better on this system.
By streaming the filming live on the website it also shows how we work and hopefully individuals will follow the same professional way we work. Not the screaming headless actors that we see today that play at spirit rescue. Mind you I don’t think you can call ghost hunting spirit rescue, it is in a different league. The entertainment value is good but the work they show you is very poor and mis-guided.
Getting back to the cctv side, we have filmed many unusual figures like shadows and light sources but to this day have never filmed a full apparition, as I have mentioned I don’t think we will as it is for your own eyes only and not from a recording. You never know we might be proved wrong on this in the future, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
As we progress this year we will endeavour to show sections of our filming as and when we get it and there will be a post for it on the website soon.
As you can understand we can only show this with the clients approval.
