Taking photos and videos are a good way to try and capture paranormal evidence. When you do this there are a couple of things you need to be aware of.

When you take pictures and video there will be no doubt that there will be dust in the room (not necessarily visible to the eye or camera in normal light conditions). Cameras struggle to focus on such small things and it tries its best to make out what it detects, but it blurs it and makes it look larger than it is. When you have a light source illuminating the area the dust reflects the light accentuating it making it look like it is glowing. These are what people sometimes mistake as orbs.

Can anyone do a paranormal investigation?

Yes… Anyone can do an investigation with very little equipment

If you want to take up paranormal investigation up as a hobby or further, it can prove to be expensive. Camcorders, CCTV, full spectrum cameras, thermocouple / thermometers, audio recorders, SLS Cameras, Thermal Imaging, Rem Pods and EMF detectors are just some of the devices we use and can cost 1000’s of pounds.

Do you really need all this to gain evidence of activity?

The answer is no.

There are a lot of paranormal shows on the television, making paranormal investigations and groups very popular to the general public. I have personally worked within my own team and joined in with other investigating groups. Throughout this time, I have came across a wide range of people, some have been level headed and have a professional attitude, then others have been quite the opposite. Some who get into it, obviously have watched too much TV and act in a immature way and totally miss the point of what paranormal investigations are about.
