History is Missing with Today’s Ghost Hunters

ghost-investigator-harry-price-20145 Over the past ten years, I’ve observed the rise of ghost hunting on television and the paranormal craze it has stirred up. There’s been a lot of good come out of this. Recent advances in experimental “ghost hunting” technology could help us better detect ghosts or even communicate with them.

Not All Is Lost
But, there has been some not-so-good stuff appear on the scene, too, such as people wanting to become famous on TV, the faking of evidence (at least by some producers), and an ignorance toward the past. I, myself, am guilty of the latter and desire to chase down prior work done by early ghost investigators.

One such story I stumbled upon is worthy of researching: the ghost of Nelly Butler. Making her appearance over 200 years ago, the depths at which she went to confirm the existence of the human spirit after the body perishes is astounding. I say astounding because this ghost was confirmed, validated by those who investigated and tried to denounce the haunting at the time. (Read, The First Documented Ghost in the United States.)

History Is Something Ghost Investigators Need to Embrace
What I have come to realize is that we have numerous cases of studies and sightings that are important but seem forgotten because they are not modern day. I wonder if we look at some of the older witnesses and explorers of haunting as antiquated or even “loony.” If so, it is a shame, and I think we are remiss not to uncover what they wrote, what they explored. It was written for us, today. We are their future generations who they wished to communicate their stories to. It’s up to us whether or not to take their word as credible; but to do so, we need to at least consider them to be fellow researchers of the paranormal.

By studying the ideas and findings of our predecessors, I suspect we just may find that some of our beliefs are not new; and I think we will enhance our understanding of ghosts and spirits. Might we become inspired by their journeys, as well? I know I am.

New Angels & Ghosts Store!

We are excited to announce that our former Fringe Technology Store has been moved and renamed the Angels & Ghosts Store!

We still have the same selection of ghost hunting equipment such as EMF meters, full spectrum cameras, ghost box spirit communicators, laser grid lights and more! Once we complete the upgrade (we are working on a mobile version, next), the Angels & Ghosts website will be updated with a brand new homepage. Until then, pays us a visit at https://AngelsGhosts.com/store.

False Ghost Pictures: Taking Pictures Through Glass

When reviewing ghost pictures, we often receive images that have been taken through glass such as a window panes, door glass, etc. This can make it more difficult to see if there is actually a ghostly apparition within the photo. Many times, people visit museums and take photos of exhibits encased in glass and are surprise to see “ghosts” appearing in the frame.

The most common type of non-ghost we see when shooting pictures through glass is usually a human form of someone who was in the room with the photographer – a mere reflection of either their body or shadow. Often, the photographer’s own reflection of a body part will be mistaken for an entity. It’s also important to know that smudges, dirt and fingerprints on glass will illuminate with light of the camera’s flash and look ethereal and see through. The issue with glass reflections, of course, is that the everything reflected is transparent – see through.

If at all possible, try not to take photographs through glass while ghost investigating. If you have to do so, then work to explain anomalies by first considering natural reflection effects. Try and account for everyone who was in the room (and especially where they were at when the photo was recorded), and do not be afraid to attempt to duplicate the effect to either validate or disprove it.

Where To Buy A Ghost Box & Infrared Camera

The following is the latest updates about some of the items we currently have available at the Fringe Technology Ghost Hunting Store.

Flip Screen IR-Converted Ghost Hunting Camera

The above model is our latest available Infrared conversion of a 10.1 megapixel digital camera for ghost investigation. What’s cool is that with IR lighting, you can actually use the “flip screen” to either shoot video or photos of what’s happening behind you! Ever have a ghost follow you? Now you can monitor and possibly capture images of it!

Why a Ghost Hunting Camera?

All of our ghost hunting cameras have an expanded range, being able to see into the Near Infrared and are considered to be “Full Spectrum.” By our definition, this means the eye of the camera has a potential range of 330nm (UV) up to 1200nm (IR). The visible spectrum of human eyesight ranges from about 380nm – 750nm. So you can see how these cameras can have a better chance of capturing paranormal phenomena when compared to typical stock cameras (which are filtered to see only the visible spectrum). In addition, the cameras can see in darkness when you cannot (if Infrared lighting is used: IR flashlight, IR illuminator, or an incandescent blacklight bulb). This means the annoying flash unit can be disengaged, virtually eliminating false anomalies such as dust orbs, flash reflection, etc. We have available camera conversions that fit in everyone’s price range from 5.1 to 10.1 megapixel models!

We’ll allow you to decide that for yourself. Below are three examples of different anomalies captured with our cameras: A shadow ghost, an apparition, and an energy anomaly.

Shadow figure in human form is captured in a theater booth by Dayna Hodgson of the UK with a 5.1 mp model that was converted to see in the dark.

An apparition of a human face is seen when lightened. Ghost captured by Dayna Hodgson of the UK with an UV-Vis-IR converted 5.1 mp camera.

Dale Lute of SIGHT of Ohio captured this energy on the steps inside of Mansfield Reformatory using our 8.1 mp UV-Vis-IR conversion model.

Ghost boxes range in price dependent upon availability and conversion time.

Ghost Box Radios

We try and keep a couple ghost box sweeping radios in stock for people who wish to experiment with ghost communication. The devices sweep either the AM or FM bands, producing white noise and radio snippets. The mish mash of noise helps bring the voices of ghosts and spirits through audibly or on a recorder. It is truly a way to increase the frequency of EVP capture!

At left is a hard-to-find original “Radio Shack Hack” model we currently have available.

Have a great month!

Ghost Hunting Cameras!

People who want to ghost investigate are often wondering what camera is best to purchase. Ghost investigators typically have a camera that they have been using for awhile but may be interested in using something adapted for night time investigation.

Infrared converted ghost hunting cameras can often be expensive, but now there is a new alternative. The Fringe Tech Ghost Hunting Store is offering IR-converted compact digital cameras that are not filtered (making them able to see an expanded field) and very affordable. Check this article: ghost hunting cameras.
