Question: was there any sound at all? Sometimes people report low-frequency humming that's not quite audible but you feel it. Just checking because that's pretty common with these formation sightings.

This is quality guidance. For anyone on an even tighter budget, your mobile phone actually has a decent light sensor built in - there are free apps that'll measure lux levels and can help detect...

I'd add to this: definitely calibrate your meters beforehand. Even cheap ones can drift, and if you're comparing readings across multiple investigations you want consistency.
Brilliant post. The solstice connection is important - there's definitely something about the astronomical alignment.
I'd add: get comfortable shoes. Seriously. More investigations get ruined by people's feet hurting after two hours than by actual lack of equipment. Get decent trainers, wear proper socks.

EVP investigations (recording for electronic voice phenomena) are contentious but they're worth documenting They're contentious because most of them are pareidolia - your brain finding patterns in...

I'm going to sound absolutely mental, but I need to tell someone who might actually understand what's going on here.Back in September, I was hiking in the Scottish Highlands near Braemar.
This happened on June 21st at about 3:47am, and I'm only posting about it now because my mate finally convinced me I wasn't going mad.My girlfriend and I had driven out to the Plain to watch the...

Brilliant sighting. The triangle formation is significant - it's one of the most commonly reported patterns in UK UFO literature.

Cheers for this. I've been thinking about investing in proper kit for winter and was about to drop three grand on a proper FLIR.
Honestly? Save a bit more and get the K-II meter instead (around £60-70 when they're in stock). It's specifically designed for paranormal work, has better sensitivity calibration, and less false...

Too many people see a spike and assume it's paranormal when it's just someone's iPhone This is the entire paranormal investigation community in one sentence.

Just don't spend a fortune on equipment right away. So many beginners buy the fancy stuff before they understand what they're actually looking for.

£150 is genuinely doable for anyone interested in giving this a proper go. Better than spending £200 on gimmicky stuff that doesn't work. Cheers for breaking this down logically.
Dead phone at the time? Convenient. Could be electromagnetic interference, or could be coincidence. Did the phone come back on properly afterwards, or was it just flat?

This is a solid report - good level of detail. The formation flight is interesting, especially if they maintained perfect synchronisation. That rules out conventional aircraft pretty thoroughly.

None of these will give you 'proof' of ghosts if that's what you're hoping for. EMF meters detect electromagnetic fields, which are everywhere in modern environments.

The call-out method works if you're looking for entertainment. If you're looking for actual evidence? It muddies your data too much.
Right lads, winter's coming and if you're going to be doing proper outdoor investigations, thermal imaging is genuinely worth considering.
My dad and I witnessed something strange on the Yorkshire moors near Haworth last Tuesday (November 8th) around 6:15pm.
