Welcome to the forums, Marcus! You've got the right attitude - healthy scepticism is exactly what we need more of round here. Too many people believe anything they read on the internet.

Are you planning to account for false positives from household wiring? Because if you're investigating in a normal house, you'll get massive readings just from the electrics.
So I've been doing some amateur investigations around the Yorkshire moors for about two years now, mostly with standard cameras and a good torch.
Right, so I've been lurking for about a month now and I reckon it's time I properly introduced myself. I'm Marcus, 34, from Manchester.
I've tested it against a commercial meter and the readings are within about 10% of each otherWhich commercial meter though? Because a lot of them are rubbish anyway.

I'm not technical enough to build this myself, but I'm impressed you got it working for that price. The commercial stuff is a massive markup. Would you consider selling kits?

This is brilliant, mate. I've been wanting to build something for ages but didn't know where to start.
The reason paranormal investigators use SLS specifically is the firmware is supposedly tuned for detecting humanoid shapes, not just heat signatures.

The Yorkshire Post article was decent actually - they mentioned the historical context without being too sensational. Better than the tabloids at least.

I used a borrowed SLS once and it was impressive to use, but I couldn't tell you if it found anything paranormal that a regular thermal camera wouldn't have found.
Right, so I was fed up paying £60+ for commercial EMF meters that are mostly plastic and unreliable.
how many of these haunted house stories are actually connected?This is actually a really good question and not asked enough.

Rendlesham is genuinely haunted by history if nothing else. The whole incident is properly documented now (thanks to FOIA requests), so it's not like we're speculating into nothing.

I think the Patterson-Gimlin footage is fascinating precisely because it's unresolved. Doesn't have to be alien or supernatural - could be a genuine undiscovered animal species, could be the best...

one of the biomechanists noted that the arm swing is genuinely unusual for a human in a costumeThis is the compelling bit for me.

The frustrating thing about the Channel 4 show is that it's presented as definitive proof that all mediumship is fake, which is unfair.

For me, Bigfoot existence would require: a skeletal remain, a genetic sample, or multiple clear video/photo documentation from independent sources in the same region. We have none of those things.

One old bloke...said his father used to talk about 'something' on those moors back in the 1960s.This is the important bit. If there's a long-standing pattern, it's not a one-off misidentification.

think it's rebranded from a military unitYeah, it's a FLIR unit rebranded and marked up massively. FLIR cameras are excellent but they're expensive.

The story about the old bloke's father is the most compelling part of your post. Military witnesses to something they won't talk about is more credible than your phone losing signal.
