Honestly, start with a good audio recorder and thermal imaging, skip the full-spectrum camera for now - it's more about spectacle than data. Your phone can document location and basic audio.

Posting this now because I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I'd appreciate some perspective from actual paranormal people rather than just my mates who think I'm mad.August 2019, my...

I've found the most useful approach is correlation between multiple data sources. EMF readings plus thermal anomalies plus audio recordings plus witness testimony.

The Underground has hundreds of stories like this. Victorian dress makes sense given how much of the network was built during that period.
Nobody else seemed to notice her. I mean, properly didn't notice.Have you considered you might've dozed off?

Classic shadow person encounter, mate. You saw something residual - probably an echo of the past rather than an active haunting.

For £800-1000, I'd allocate roughly: £200 voice recorder (Zoom H1n or similar), £400 thermal camera (used FLIR, as discussed elsewhere), £200 misc (good torch, thermometer, spare batteries,...

If you're serious about investigations, the thermal camera is worth having in your arsenal. But budget 60% of your time learning to read the data and 40% on the equipment itself.
Multiple witnesses, multiple nights, consistent descriptions of impossible flight characteristics.Right, but "impossible" by 1980s physics, not by 2024 physics.
is this actually useful for ghost hunting, or am I wasting money on kit that won't tell me anything?Honestly? You're falling into the gear rabbit hole.
You can submit targeted FOIA requests for specific incidents - Rendlesham, Shoeburyness, the 1967 incidents. Sometimes you get partial releases.
One of the best haunted house accounts we have in Britain, and everyone wants to debunk it now. Classic.

That's not investigation, that's just noise collection.This. So many ghost hunters are basically doing performance art rather than actual research.

I'd say go for it. Used FLIR cameras are solid pieces of kit and the E4 will do everything you need.

The Reading bloke was hilarious. "It had a consciousness," he says, without a shred of evidence. Meanwhile the chap from the UFO sceptics society was drowned out by dramatic music.
Right, I'm looking to kit out my mobile paranormal investigation setup and I keep seeing thermal imaging cameras recommended everywhere.
I've been looking at setting up a proper recording setup for investigations and I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the options.
The problem with EMF meters is that everyone treats them like ghost detectors when they're actually just measuring electromagnetic fields.

The Halt memo is the smoking gun for me. A senior USAF officer wouldn't risk his career documenting something he wasn't absolutely certain about.
