Real talk: EMF readings on their own are basically meaningless for ghost hunting. You need to combine them with other data - temperature drops, EVP recordings, multiple witnesses experiencing...

Genuinely curious about your methodology here. How are you determining angular size without knowing the focal length of the phone camera? And how are you ruling out atmospheric effects?
I'm genuinely interested in the methodology here. Would you be recording video, doing spectral analysis, just naked eye notes?
Right, proper technical question: I've been ghost hunting for years, but I'm wondering how winter weather affects paranormal investigation techniques.
Solstice folklore is interesting but I'd be cautious about expecting actual activity increase. Confirmation bias is powerful - if you're specifically looking for UAP anomalies on solstice night,...

Good guide. Fair point about false positives - you need to understand thermal signatures before you interpret them. Also, ambient temperature matters massively.

Not helicopters, not drones, genuinely no sound whatsoever. Mate, I hate to be that person but... lanterns? Chinese lanterns are absolutely rife in Yorkshire and they're silent.

Use a regular notebook and pen on site rather than relying on your phone. Battery drain during investigation is real and your phone's light will skew your light readings.

"The Twilight Zone" has some brilliant British-set episodes if you count sci-fi as paranormal content. Not documentary but genuinely unsettling. Richard Matheson's writing is excellent.
I'm planning to do some recordings at Borley Rectory You'll need permission from the owners first - can't just rock up and record.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I'm getting frustrated so I'm posting anyway. For the past two months, kitchen appliances in my flat keep breaking in ways that don't make sense.
I'm game for coordinated observations in June. If we get observers from Scotland, Midlands, South Coast, and Wales, we could build a decent observational network.

Has anyone seen the new Netflix paranormal series? I watched a few episodes and it felt like American sensationalism transplanted to British locations. Gave me the ick.

The cheap ones are generally rubbish, but not because they don't work - more because they're incredibly sensitive to basically everything. Your mobile phone, your watch, the lights in the ceiling.

You want a FLIR or Seek thermal camera mate. I've got the Seek Compact Pro and it's brilliant for the money - around £350 last time I looked, does video and stills.
I've used the Underground for fifteen years and never seen anything like it Could also be a maintenance light, a torch from a workman in the tunnel, or someone's light-up phone case reflecting...

I keep seeing people recommend the TriField 200A but it's about £180 which seems mental for what is basically a fancy radiation detector.
Good instinct on the baseline idea. You need: temperature (at least 5 locations spread around), EMF (same as temperature), humidity, light levels, and honestly that's enough to start.

I've been reading about how important it is to establish a baseline before you start an investigation, and I want to do this properly.
Right, so me and my mate Dave were out near Haworth last Saturday about 11pm, bit of a clear night after all that rain.
