Understanding the Complex World Of Ghost Hunting Equipment!

For someone beginning their journey into the paranormal, the sheer variety of ghost hunting equipment available can be overwhelming. Cameras, 3D mapping systems, spirit communication devices, environmental meters, motion detectors, night-vision equipment, and specialized devices can all serve very different purposes.

Understanding what each device actually does and, just as importantly, how to use them is one of the most important steps a new paranormal investigator can take.

The folks at Relatively Paranormal Equipment are paranormal investigators just like you. Rather than simply purchasing equipment and reselling it, their team designs, builds, programs, tests, and uses the equipment during their own investigations. The company's goal is to make sophisticated paranormal investigation technology understandable and affordable while giving investigators tools capable of documenting multiple types of possible activity.

Why Using Multiple Technologies Can Make The Evidence Evidence You Capture More Compelling

One of the biggest mistakes a beginning investigator can make is treating a single unusual equipment reading as proof of paranormal activity. A more professional approach is to document an event from several different technological perspectives. For example, an investigator might have an SLS or XLS camera documenting an unusual figure while a separate device records an environmental change and a spirit communication device produces an apparent response. If the events occur at the same location and at approximately the same time, the investigator has created a much more detailed record of what happened. That does not automatically prove that a spirit caused the activity. Instead, it creates correlated evidence that deserves further investigation. This distinction is important. A good investigator documents first and interprets later. The best investigatiors attempt to establish normal environmental conditions, document equipment readings, record audio and video continuously, and then compare the information collected by different technologies.

Relatively Paranormal Equipment's own Beginner's Guide To Paranormal Investigation emphasizes this same philosophy: unusual readings should be investigated rather than automatically labeled paranormal, and multiple technologies detecting something at the same time can provide compelling paranormal evidence!

Paranormal Equipment Categories

1. SLS & XLS CAMS

SLS CAMERA

SLS Camera uses 3D mapping technology to identify and display human-shaped figures within its mapped environment. Relatively Paranormal Equipment's SLS Camera incorporates its exclusive True-View imaging correction and built-in video and audio recording. It also includes a programmed 10-inch tablet, rechargeable power, and field-ready mounting hardware.

How an investigator uses it:

An investigator uses SLS Camera to map an area where activity has been reported and allow the system to continuously monitor the environment. When the mapping system displays a human-shaped figure, the investigator should document: Whether an actual person or object could be producing the mapping. Whether the figure moves independently. Whether the figure remains stationary or changes position. Whether other equipment is detecting something at the same time. The exact time the event occurred. The built-in recording capability is particularly useful because the investigator can preserve the visual event rather than relying on memory.

How to interpret SLS evidence:

A mapped figure should not automatically be identified as a spirit.

Objects that look like the human form like a tall lamp can potentially create unexpected results. In these cases the figure will be on top of the object, won't move, or interact with you. The investigator should therefore examine the physical surroundings and look for ordinary explanations before considering the event possible paranormal evidence. If an unexplained figure appears while another independently operating device simultaneously documents an unusual event, the combined information becomes considerably more interesting.

XLS Camera

The XLS Camera represents a more advanced approach to 3D mapping. Relatively Paranormal Equipment describes it as using next-generation 3D mapping, lidar-style scanning technology and a four-microphone spatial array for ultrasonic distance measuring. The only system provides multiple simultaneous viewing modes, including 3D color, 3D black-and-white, 2D infrared night vision, 3D infrared night vision, 2D color and textured 3D modes. The XLS is designed to provide investigators with substantially more information about the environment surrounding a potential anomaly.

How an investigator uses it:

XLS can be positioned toward an investigation area while the investigator monitors its different viewing modes. If an unusual figure, object or anomaly appears, the investigator can review the event across the available views and preserve the recording. This becomes especially useful when the investigator wants to determine whether an unusual event appears consistently across different representations of the mapped environment. The hi-tech hardware and software used by XLS elimates the chance of a false positive.

How to interpret XLS evidence:

The XLS provides more information, but more information does not automatically mean proof. An investigator should compare the mapped event with the physical environment, investigate possible causes and review the recording afterward. When an unexplained event appears simultaneously with evidence from another independent technology, the investigator has a stronger collection of information to analyze.

SPIRIT BOXES & PORTALS

Spirit communication equipment is used for a very different purpose from cameras and environmental meters. Instead of primarily documenting visual or environmental changes, these devices are used during controlled communication sessions in which investigators attempt to obtain possible responses. Relatively Paranormal Equipment currently offers the Ghost Hunting Spirit Box Deluxe, The Real Mini Portal, The Real Portal and Empath Spirit Communicator in this category.

Ghost Hunting Spirit Box Deluxe

Designed around automatically sweeping radio frequencies and includes adjustable sweep-rate control. The device also incorporates additional investigation features including REM functionality, temperature measurement and a flashlight.

How to use it:

Investigators can establish a quiet communication session, ask short open-ended questions and allow time for possible responses. Questions should be documented along with the exact time they were asked. If a word or phrase appears to answer a question, the investigator should record the event rather than immediately declaring it a communication.

How to interpret results:

Spirit-box sessions can produce a great deal of audio information. The investigator should look for responses that are: Relevant to the question. Clearly audible. Repeatable or independently supported. Unlikely to have been produced by an ordinary broadcast. Correlated with other evidence. The goal is not simply to hear a word. The goal is to determine whether there is a meaningful and unexplained pattern.

The Real Mini Portal

Real Mini Portal provides a more compact approach to spirit communication. Relatively Paranormal Equipment's store describes it as a portable communication device capable of producing clear spirit voices during communication sessions with a spirit box or spirit box app.

How to use it:

The Mini Portal can be incorporated into a controlled communication session while another investigator records video and audio. This is where combining technologies becomes particularly valuable. Rather than simply hearing a possible voice, investigators can document the entire session on camera while independently monitoring the environment. The device allows you to hear clear spirit voices without all the static and background noise. The digital reverb programmed by Relatively Paranormal Equipment significantly helps the spirits communicate.

Interpreting evidence:

A possible response should be documented with its exact time and context. Investigators should then review the recording and determine whether the response could have originated from a broadcast, environmental sound, investigator movement or another ordinary source.

The Real Portal

Real Portal is the larger spirit communication system in the company's portal lineup. Its features include multiple reverb modes, headphone connectivity for communication methods such as the Estes Method. It has a loud and ethereal sound, taking out all of the static, radio snippets, and background noise from spirit boxes/apps! The digital reverb has been preprogrammed by Relatively Paranormal Equipment through years of testing during their own investigations.

How investigators use it:

The Real Portal can become the center of a structured communication session. A useful approach is to combine the Portal with: An SLS or XLS Camera. A full-spectrum camera. Environmental meters. A separate audio recording source. This allows investigators to document what happens visually, environmentally and audibly at approximately the same time. Real Portal is made with the authentic parts of the original Portal but with a few improvements like Fender audio cables and a better rechargeable battery setup. Relatively Paranormal Equipment never uses cheap replacement parts in their builds!

GHOST HUNTING METERS & DEVICES

Environmental meters and trigger devices serve an important role in paranormal investigation because they allow investigators to document changes that may not be visible to the human eye. Relatively Paranormal Equipment currently lists products including the EnviroBell Ghost Hunting Device, Power Plant Spirit Energy Device, Ghost Hunting Static Meter, Ghost Hunting Vibration Detector, Ghost Hunting EMF Meter, K2 EMF Meter and Ghost Hunting Motion Balls.

Empath: Spirit Communicator

Empath Spirit Communicator is another specialized communication device offered by Relatively Paranormal Equipment. The company's product-video library includes demonstrations, comparisons and investigation footage involving the Empath. For a new investigator, the best way to learn a device such as the Empath is to understand its controls first and then use it during a controlled investigation session. Potential responses should be documented rather than interpreted in isolation. Empath differs from similar devices like Ovilus because it allows you to direct the conversation to get much better responses. When not using it to communicate it can also be used as a 4 in 1 ghost hunting meter. This allows you to monitor for evironmental changes due to possible paranormal activity while carrying less around your investigations.

EnviroBell Ghost Hunting Device

EnviroBell is designed as a specialized ghost-hunting device and trigger object. Investigators can place it in a location where possible activity is being investigated and monitor the surrounding area. The important part of using a trigger device is documentation. Spirits manipulate the environment arount EviroBell in order to make the mechanical bell ring. It's colored LED ring also lets you know what environmental change triggered the event and how. Example: drop in temp = blue LED ring.

If the device activates, investigators should record:

The time. The location. Who was present. What was happening immediately before activation. Whether anyone could physically have triggered it. Whether cameras or other meters recorded anything simultaneously. An activation becomes more interesting when it occurs without an obvious physical explanation and is supported by independent documentation.

The Power Plant Spirit Energy Device

The Power Plant is designed as a spirit-energy device used during paranormal experiments. Relatively Paranormal Equipment has documented significant paranormal activity events during their own investigations while using The Power Plant. Spirits can't create their own energy and no bodies to hold the energy they take from our electronic devices. The Power Plant gives spirits a constant energy source to return to again and again so they can interact with you all night long!

How to use it:

The Power Plant should be turned on as soon as you arrive at your location. Call out to the spirits letting them know what is and where you putting it. The energy field is localized so keep you equipment 2 to 3 feet away from the device to avoid false positives.

Ghost Hunting Static Meter

Ghost Hunting Static Meter is intended to monitor static-related environmental changes during investigations. As with all environmental equipment, investigators should establish a baseline before interpreting unusual readings. It can pick up both positive and negative static fields. I has buttons to reset the device for both fields after turning it on. This is a scientific way to document the feeling of static electricity feeling that makes are hair stand on end when a spirit is present!

Ghost Hunting Vibration Detector

Ghost Hunting Vibration Detector is designed to identify vibrations that may otherwise go unnoticed. This can be particularly useful when investigating claims involving unexplained movement, knocks, footsteps or physical disturbances. The device calibrates itself to any ambient vibrations in the area you are investigating in to avoid false positives. New communition mode allows for yes and no questions, the devices sensativity in this mode can be adjusted to make any responses more compelling. A strong investigation records the detector while simultaneously recording video and audio. That way, an activation can be reviewed alongside what was happening in the surrounding environment.

Ghost Hunting EMF Meter & K2 EMF Meter

EMF meters measure electromagnetic fields. Relatively Paranormal Equipment offers both a rechargeable Ghost Hunting EMF Meter and a K2 EMF Meter.

How investigators should use EMF meters:

Before investigating, an investigator should walk through the location and establish normal electromagnetic readings. Electrical panels, wiring, appliances,

phones, radios and other electronic equipment can produce electromagnetic fields. Therefore, an unexplained spike becomes more interesting when: It occurs away from obvious electrical sources. The baseline was previously documented. The change is sudden or unusual. Another device records activity at the same time. The event can be reproduced or independently observed. An EMF reading by itself should not be called proof of a ghost. It is a piece of environmental information.

Ghost Hunting Motion Balls

Ghost hunting Motion Balls provide investigators with a simple way to monitor possible movement in a controlled area. They can be placed in a room while cameras record the surrounding environment. If a Motion Ball activates while nobody is near it, the investigator can review the video, examine the floor and surrounding environment, and determine whether vibration, air movement, accidental contact or another explanation could account for the activation. When a trigger-object activation is captured simultaneously by another technology, it becomes a more complete piece of investigative documentation.

FULL SPECTRUM CAMERAS & NIGHT VISION LIGHTS

Visual documentation is one of the most important components of a paranormal investigation. Relatively Paranormal Equipment offers both a Ghost Hunting 4K Full Spectrum Camera and a Ghost Hunting Full Spectrum 4K Dual Screen Camera, along with multiple rechargeable night-vision lighting options.

Ghost Hunting 4K Full Spectrum Camera

Ghost Hunting 4K Full Spectrum Camera is converted to capture ultraviolet and infrared light and provides 4K video recording, an ultra-wide lens, image stabilization and motion-detection capabilities. The camera is designed to be used with an appropriate infrared or full-spectrum light when recording in darkness.

How investigators use it:

A full-spectrum camera can be positioned for continuous monitoring of a room, hallway or investigation area. Investigators can then review the footage afterward for unusual objects, shadows, movement or other unexplained visual phenomena. It is also very lightweight so is very easily carried around any location to capture all of the action. The camera is particularly valuable because it creates a permanent visual record that can be reviewed frame-by-frame.

Ghost Hunting Full Spectrum 4K Dual Screen Camera

This camera provides investigators with both front and rear viewing screens, allowing them to film themselves while also monitoring the environment behind them. The first for the ghost hunting community!

The camera captures ultraviolet and infrared light and provides 4K recording, image stabilization and an ultra-wide lens. This design can be especially useful when an investigator is walking through a location and wants to maintain awareness of both the investigator and the surrounding environment.

Night Vision Lights

Relatively Paranormal Equipment offers several rechargeable night-vision lighting options, including the Ghost Hunting Night Vision Light, Ultra Ghost Hunting Night Vision Light and Ultimate Ghost Hunting Night Vision Light. These lights are particularly

important when using full-spectrum cameras in darkness. A camera cannot document what it cannot see. By providing appropriate illumination outside the visible range used by normal human vision, investigators can create usable video while maintaining the dark environment required for the investigation.

Why Combining Equipment Can Strengthen an Investigation:

Imagine an investigator conducting a session in a dark room. An XLS Camera records an unexplained mapped figure. At nearly the same moment, an EMF meter records an unusual change. A vibration detector activates. A communication device produces a possible response. A full-spectrum camera records the entire event. None of these individual events automatically proves paranormal activity. But together, they provide something far more valuable: multiple independent forms of documentation occurring within the same investigative window. This is the fundamental advantage of using different technologies together.

The SLS/XLS documents potential visual or mapped anomalies. Full-spectrum cameras captures footage of the entire investigation. Spirit communication devices document Spirit responses live and on the spot for you to directly respond to. Meters document the environmental changes environmental changes that can be caused by paranormal activity. When these systems are used together, an investigator can compare the information afterward and determine whether several pieces of evidence appear connected. That is a much more professional approach than simply saying, "A ghost appeared."

Built by Paranormal Investigators, for Paranormal Investigators:

Relatively Paranormal Equipment is different from a conventional electronics retailer because the company was created by people who actually participate in paranormal investigations. The company's investigators use the equipment themselves, allowing them to identify problems that may not be obvious to someone who has never taken a device into a dark, unfamiliar location. The company states that its SLS and XLS systems are built using carefully selected components and that considerable attention is given to making the hardware, software and programming work together effectively. This investigator-first approach also influences pricing. Rather than focusing exclusively on maximizing profit margins, Relatively Paranormal Equipment says its goal is to keep equipment affordable while maintaining high-quality components and construction. In the paranormal-equipment marketplace, investigators may encounter competing products built with less expensive components or replacement parts. A lower initial price can sometimes appear attractive, but equipment that fails prematurely can ultimately cost an investigator more because it must be repaired or replaced.

Relatively Paranormal Equipment's philosophy is to provide dependable equipment while keeping everyday pricing accessible to the paranormal community. The company's online store currently promotes its equipment as being offered at everyday low prices, with a focus on making advanced investigation technology accessible rather than reserving it exclusively for investigators with large equipment budgets.

More Than a Store: A Resource for Investigators

B. One of the most useful features of the Relatively Paranormal Equipment website is its extensive collection of product information.

The Product Videos page contains a large library of videos covering product demonstrations, features features, comparisons, tutorials and examples of possible paranormal evidence captured using the company's equipment. The current library includes videos covering the SLS Camera, XLS Camera, Real Portal, Real Mini Portal, Empath, vibration detector, full-spectrum cameras and other equipment. For a beginner, this can be extremely valuable. Rather than purchasing a device and trying to figure everything out alone, an investigator can study how the equipment works before taking it into the field. The website also features paranormal investigation content showing the Relatively Paranormal Equipment team using its equipment during actual investigations. This gives customers an opportunity to see not only what the equipment looks like but also how it can be incorporated into an investigation.

Customer Reviews: Research Before Buying

Visit Relatively Paranormal Equipment's Customer Reviews page

Another important resource is the company's customer-review section.

The store provides a dedicated page where customers can review feedback from its online stores, including its Etsy and eBay operations.

For anyone considering a substantial equipment purchase, customer reviews can provide useful information about the real-world buying experience—including equipment, shipping and customer service.

Reading reviews before purchasing is a simple way for a new investigator to become more comfortable with a company before investing in new equipment.

Affordable Equipment for the Paranormal Community

Relatively Paranormal Equipment was created with a straightforward objective: give paranormal investigators access to high-quality ghost-hunting technology without requiring them to spend the kind of money often associated with professional electronics. The company promotes a "Get More, Pay Less" philosophy and strives to keep everyday pricing significantly below comparable competing equipment. The store's current lineup ranges from inexpensive investigation tools to advanced SLS and XLS 3D-mapping systems. For example, the current catalog includes budget-oriented products such as the K2 EMF Meter, Ghost Hunting EMF Meter, Motion Balls and Ghost Hunting Spirit Box Deluxe alongside advanced equipment such as the SLS and XLS Cameras. This allows an investigator to build an equipment kit gradually instead of feeling pressured to purchase everything at once.

Payment and Financing Options

Relatively Paranormal Equipment has also worked to make purchasing equipment easier to budget. The online store supports multiple payment methods, including options such as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Cash App and traditional debit or credit-card payments.

Financing and installment options can also be available through providers such as Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay and PayPal Pay Later, depending on eligibility and the options presented at checkout. Some payment plans may allow purchases to be divided into shorter installment schedules, while longer financing terms may be available depending on the provider and the customer's eligibility. Interest rates and promotional terms can vary, so customers should review the exact terms displayed at checkout before accepting financing. These options are intended to allow investigators to obtain equipment they need while spreading the cost over time rather than paying the entire amount immediately.

Fast Shipping With Protection Against Loss or Damage

Relatively Paranormal Equipment also emphasizes getting equipment into investigators' hands quickly. The company's product pages explain that shipping prices include shipping insurance covering orders against loss and damage. Customers should follow the company's specific instructions for documenting shipping damage and retaining the original packaging if a claim is necessary. For investigators who have spent weeks planning an investigation, receiving damaged equipment can be extremely frustrating. Shipping protection provides an additional level of security during the delivery process.

Choosing the Right Equipment: A Simple Strategy for Beginners

A new investigator does not necessarily need every device available.

Instead, the best approach is to decide what type of evidence the investigator wants to document.

For possible visual anomalies:

Consider the SLS Camera, XLS Camera or Full Spectrum Cameras.

For possible spirit communication:

Consider the Ghost Hunting Spirit Box Deluxe, The Real Mini Portal, The Real Portal or Empath Spirit Communicator.

For environmental changes:

Consider the EMF Meters, Static Meter and other Ghost Hunting Meters & Devices.

For possible physical interaction:

Consider the EnviroBell, Ghost Hunting Vibration Detector and Motion Balls.

For documenting investigations in darkness:

Consider the Full Spectrum Cameras and Night Vision Lights.

As experience grows, these technologies can be combined into a more comprehensive investigation system. The Most Important Piece of Paranormal Equipment Is Still the Investigator Even the most advanced technology cannot replace good investigative practices. Equipment collects information. The investigator determines how that information should be documented, analyzed and interpreted.

A professional investigator should:

Establish environmental baselines. Record continuously whenever possible. Document exact times of unusual events. Avoid leading questions. Look for ordinary explanations. Review evidence after the investigation. Compare multiple technologies. Avoid making conclusions before examining all available information. Keep an open mind while remaining skeptical. The objective is not to prove that every strange occurrence is paranormal. The objective is to determine whether something unusual happened, document it accurately and investigate possible explanations. That philosophy produces evidence that is far more interesting—and far more credible.

Final Thoughts

The world of paranormal equipment can appear extremely complex when viewed from the outside. Once the technology is broken down into categories, however, the purpose of each device becomes much easier to understand. SLS and XLS Cameras provide advanced 3D mapping and visual documentation. Spirit Boxes and Portals provide tools for controlled communication experiments. Meters and Devices document environmental changes, movement, vibration and other measurable events. Full Spectrum Cameras and Night Vision Lights provide visual documentation in conditions where ordinary cameras may not provide the information investigators are looking for. The real power comes from using these technologies together. When an investigator can document an unexplained event simultaneously through different forms of technology, the resulting evidence becomes more comprehensive and provides more information to analyze. Relatively Paranormal Equipment was created to make that process more accessible to the paranormal community. With investigator-designed equipment, affordable pricing, extensive instructional videos, investigation footage, customer reviews, multiple payment and financing options and shipping protection, the company has built its online store around a simple idea: Paranormal investigators should be able to purchase high-quality equipment without having to spend a fortune. For investigators ready to begin building their equipment collection, the complete selection can be explored through the Relatively Paranormal Equipment online store.
