The Paranormal Blog

Yesterday's entry entitled Sunday Night Smackdown - Using Scientific Devices, Without Scientific Protocol received the following question from Jax.

Is there an entry on this blog that describes real equipment to use then?

Thank you for your question Jax. We appreciate it!

For those who might be interested in equipment to use and it's application towards this study please have a look at our online guide book and course, which is free to download by clicking here. It is also registered with the The National Library Of Canada who have copies.

This is the course that all PSICAN and GHRS investigators use. It is based on our methodology only, which we are constantly working towards improving upon. There are certainly other ways of doing things, but we believe that it is good start and useful for those who wish to investigate ghosts and hauntings from a neutral and objective standpoint.

We also offer a limited series of how-to classes in the Toronto, Canada area in which we give hands-on demonstrations.

Please remember that when deciding which equipment to purchase or use within your own investigations you do not need to spend large sums of money. One online shop I surfed through a couple of years back was selling "ghost detectors" with their logo emblazoned on it for $1500 bux US. The same piece of equipment sold at our local science shop for $35.00 US! I'm not kidding!

Another quick note on equipment .... Ghost Club President Peter Underwood (oldest established 1862 UK based group) often does not use any equipment other then pen, paper, and a good supply of common sense. If you have those three you can often accomplish just as much if not far more as a person with thousands of dollars worth of equipment particularly if they are not aware of it's proper usage or how to correctly collect data.

We believe this study is worthy of serious sceintific inquiry. This is something we are very passionate about and we feel we owe to all of those people who have had the courage over the years to come forward and relate their own sometimes highly personal experiences. It is our determination to remove the "giggle factor" from these topics.

We want to thank all of those at BlogMad who have voted us Blog of the Day! With so many terrific blogs out there we consider this an honour!

Thank you!!!
