Here's what you need to hunt ghosts...because they are real ...right?? Whatever, I stole some of this from the South Jersey Ghost Research Organization.

CAMERAS -.35mm cameras are mostly recomended with 800 speed black and white film. You can use color film too, but b&w picks up everything better. Basically take pictures where and when you feel like you should. Night time is best because it reduces glare, use a flash stupid. Setup a video camera with night vision too, make sure there's no one in the house, including cats!

THERMAL SCANNERS are hand held devices that you can point at an area/object and get a temperature reading. This device gives you an instant reading and can help you help in tracking down cold spots that are common in a paranormal presence. (This is because ghosts use energy, heat, electricity or whatever to materialize)

HAND HELD VOICE RECORDER this is used to pick up sounds or voices that you might not hear known as Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). There are two basic types or recorders the regular cassette or digital. Any type of recorder will do but keep in mind the quality of sound it will record or pick up..It maybe more practical to find one that can hold a long length of audio then one where you would have to keep changing the tapes. (Ask questions then see if they get answered)

COMPASS is a good tool for two reasons. One it can help you mark direction in a location in a home/place where ghostly behavior is alleged and, Two it is said that when you come in contact with a ghostly entity that it will spin. If your standing still it will follow a ghost around. Its a good tool and it has been used for allot of years in ghost hunting. (Whatever...fuck the compass)

HYDRO/THERMOMETER is good for a few things.Humidity can be detected in any environment outdoors or indoors.This can help rule out possibilities of moisture that might be captured on camera. Temperature readings are also helpful in determining ghostly presences and/or helping in determining authentic photographs. (This is good because humidity on film does look rather ghostly)

EMF DETECTOR(ELECTROMAGNETIC FEILD DECTECTORS) Helps in finding electric fields that can be caused from ghosts. You have to learn what the readings mean on this piece of equipment because you wouldnt want to pick up something like a power line, transformer,etc outside or when inside an outlet,electrical wires that are in walls or anything of that sort. (How do you know it's not a powerline or transformer??)

GAUSSMETERS, sometimes called Teslameters or Flux Density Meters use a sensor to measure magnetic flux density . Magnetic Field Strength in air can also be measured. This tool helps you in determining the strength of the magnetic field that something of paranormal sort may give off. (Teslameter named for my favorite scientist Nicola Tesla. He invented the death ray and he believed that Hitler was hiding in a vulcano in South America.....and he sang that song...SIGNS SIGNS EVERYWHERE SIGNS BLOCKING UP THE SCENERY...you remember the rest)

GEIGER COUNTER is another device that has been used for along time in ghost hunting. It is said that this device picks up any type of radiation.This device measures Alpha, Beta, Gamma and X-ray radiation. Supposedly ghosts can produce anomalies in radiation that a geiger counter can pick up. But the instrument's original purpose was to search primarily for nuclear radiation. (So basically you either have a ghost OR have radiation cancer)

Here's a real EVP recorded by the South Jersey Ghost Research Organization. It says 'Mommy'.
