Many ask what the terms paranormal
investigators throw around including terminology about their work and
their equipment. We hope to answer most of your questions here. If you
have a question that isn’t answered here please e-mail

| A Thermal Imaging
Camera is a type of camera first used in firefighting. By rendering
heat as visible light, such cameras would allow firefighters to see areas
of heat through smoke, darkness, or heat-permeable barriers. Thermal
imaging cameras are typically handheld, Today paranormal investigators
have adapted these expensive cameras into tools to see hot and cold spots
on investigations. These cameras have turned some fantastic evidence as
well as helped debunk cold spots by showing leaks in air ducts. |

| An orb is a ball
of energy that can be seen of film. This does not mean it's a ghost or
that the place is haunted but it can show energy that is drawn to help a
ghost manifest. Orbs are completely round, usually change direction, are completely
solid, emit their own light and are not usually found after something in
the room moves. As said before we do not consider orbs proof of paranormal
activity. |

| Infrared (IR) is
electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible
light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The name means "below
red. We use cameras equipped with IR LED's and camcorders with night shot
that can see at that level. It allows us to basically see in the dark.
These tools are wonderful in out line of work. |

| A full spectrum
video instruments can see not only infrared but also ultraviolet
wavelengths which are also outside of the visible range of sight.
Ultraviolet wavelengths are on the opposite end of infrared making them a
shorter wavelength. By combining both UV and IR you can see even more
detail. |
 |
| Electronic voice
phenomenon is a term used to refer to sounds or voices that are
captured on recorded media or other electronic devices that are not heard
at the time of recording. Sometimes these can answer questions that are
asked. This is an intelligent type of interaction. Most EVP's are
residual. There is nothing intelligent about them and will happen if you
are there or not. |
