There are dozens of types of Thermometers on the market. However, if you are into Ghost Hunting, or are just beginning ghost hunting, then make sure you spend your money on the right type of equipment.
1. Buy an Infrared Thermometer – One of the most useful tools for a ghost hunter is a hand-held infrared thermometer. These thermometers provide an instant temperature of a particular spot by measuring the heat signature. These thermometers provide a more reliable reading because the thermometer doesn’t take a lengthy time for a reading. These thermometers are relatively inexpensive ranging from $40 – $100+.
2. Standard Thermometers – Anytime you decide to buy any type of thermometer for Ghost Hunting or Paranormal Research use a Digital Display, and the ideal unit will be back-lit. In addition, try and buy a large display with a “picture-frame” stand. The scenario here is if you want to get a static camera shot of a room then you can place the thermometer in the frame. This will allow you to get any long term temperature changes in the location.
3. Indoor/Outdoor Models – It is always ideal to buy an Outdoor rated model. Ghost Hunting is not always performed inside a comfortable house. Battlefields, plantations, and cemeteries provide ample locations where an outdoor rated unit may be needed.
4. Cold Spots – Cold Spots are a common paranormal experience in a possible haunting. The belief is that when a entity is attempting to manifest it draws energy and heat from the immediate area. However, cold spots can be caused from a multitude of culprits including ventilation, cracks around windows, and humidity.
5. I/R Thermometer in Debunking – Here is the ideal time to break out your I/R thermometer when someone reports a cold spot. Test the immediate area and write down the temperature. Then check 5 to 10 spots around the room taking random measurements. In addition, check for leaky windows and doors.
