Mastering the Spirit Portal: A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective EVP Sessions

1. Introduction: Beyond the Static

You’ve invested in one of the most advanced pieces of paranormal investigation gear available: the clean sweep Spirit Portal. Congratulations! Unlike traditional spirit boxes that often leave investigators guessing through noisy radio sweeps, the Spirit Portal is engineered to create a clearer, more consistent energetic channel. This guide will walk you through the precise steps to prepare your device, conduct a focused EVP session, and maximize your chances of receiving intelligent, compelling communication.

2. Preparation: Setting the Scene for Clear Communication

Step 1: Optimize Your Environment

Before powering up, the environment is key.

  • Minimize Interference: Turn off all non-essential electronics, mobile phones (or put them on airplane mode), and other devices that might generate extraneous EMF, which can interfere with the Portal’s delicate workings.
  • Establish Quiet: Choose a time and location where external noise (traffic, heating systems) is minimized. The Spirit Portal excels at clear audio, and external noise will degrade the quality of any responses.
  • Get Ready to Record: The Spirit Portal’s best feature is real-time communication, but evidence must be logged. Use a dedicated digital audio recorder or a voice memo app on a separate device to record the entire session. This allows for later review and validation of potential EVP hits.

Power and Familiarization

Ensure your Spirit Portal is fully charged or has fresh batteries. Take a moment to understand the controls—specifically, the volume, sweep rate, and any adjustable filter controls. For beginners, start with the recommended factory settings, adjusting only the volume to a comfortable, medium level.


The Session: Asking the Right Questions

The Introduction and Intent Setting

Don’t just turn it on and wait. Begin every session by clearly addressing the energy in the room. This shows respect and structure.

  • State Your Purpose: “Hello. We are here respectfully to conduct a communication experiment. We mean you no harm.”
  • Confirm the Device: Clearly state that you are using a Spirit Portal and that you are inviting intelligent response through the device. This educates the entity on the medium you are using.
  • Be Patient: Give the energy a few moments to understand your intent and gather the necessary energy to communicate.

Structuring Your Questions

The quality of your questions dictates the quality of your evidence. Avoid yes/no questions at first, and focus on those that require more complex, intelligent responses.

  • Good Starter Questions: “What is your name?” “What year did you live here?” “Can you tell us what we are holding?” (This prompts interaction with the device itself.)
  • Wait Time: After each question, allow a full 10 to 15 seconds of silence for a response to form through the Portal before moving on. Do not interrupt a potential communication attempt.
  • Persistence: If you receive a clear response, follow up immediately. If the voice says “Help,” ask, “How can we help you?” Intelligent follow-ups are the hallmark of a successful session.

Post-Session and Review

Logging and Reviewing Evidence

Once the session is complete, thank the energy present and formally end the communication experiment. This is crucial for investigator safety and maintaining control.

  • Log Immediately: Note the time, location, any environmental factors (was a door slammed?), and any responses you heard in real-time.
  • Detailed Review: The real work begins now. Listen to your recorded audio on headphones. Often, faint voices or responses you missed in the moment will become clear upon review.
  • Cross-Reference: Did the Spirit Portal give a name while your Spirit Bridge detected a sharp EMF spike? This cross-referencing of equipment data (as detailed in our Beginner’s Guide (link to Pillar)) dramatically strengthens your evidence.

Conclusion: Your Gateway to Intelligent EVP

The Spirit Portal is the clear choice for investigators in the UK serious about intelligent spirit communication. By following this structured approach, you move away from random noise and toward direct, verifiable contact.

The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Ghost Hunting Equipment in the UK | Infraready – Ghost Hunting Equipment by Infraready



Ready to take your first steps into the world of paranormal investigation? Choosing the right ghost hunting equipment in the UK is the most crucial part of any successful investigation. Forget shaky handheld cameras and vague feelings; modern paranormal gear allows us to gather clear, repeatable data and present credible evidence to the paranormal community whether that be within your own group or to your followers on social media platforms. This comprehensive guide from Infraready breaks down the essential tools, explains how they work, and helps you select the best paranormal investigation gear to start capturing your own evidence.



Capturing the Unseen Voice (EVP & Communication)

The Art of Conversation: EVP and Spirit Communication Devices

The most common sign of a spirit is a voice—often called an Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). Simple digital recorders are the basic starting point, but experienced investigators in the UK know that direct communication tools can yield immediate, intelligent responses. These devices often use radio frequencies or complex algorithms to give spirits the energy and means to communicate.

Lets take a closer look at some of these devices.

  1. The Spirit Portal: The Gold Standard for Real-Time Communication For the beginner looking for serious results, the Spirit Portal is revolutionary. It moves beyond simple radio sweeps by blending frequencies and providing a constant, energetic stream that spirits can manipulate for clear, real-time responses. If you want to move past simple static and hear full words or phrases, this is the device you need.

  1. The Alice Box: Advanced Algorithmic Communication The Alice Box is a sophisticated piece of ghost hunting equipment that uses complex algorithms and word-banks, allowing you to ask questions and receive relevant answers through synthesized speech. This removes the ambiguity of static and helps filter out false positives, offering some of the clearest communication available for paranormal investigators.

Detecting Energy and Presence (EMF & Sensors)

Understanding the Energy: EMF Meters and Environment Sensors

Fluctuations in the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) are a classic indication of a paranormal presence. A simple handheld EMF meter is a non-negotiable item in any ghost hunting kit. It’s used to detect unexplained spikes in magnetic energy, which many theories suggest spirits use to manifest or move. However, the best equipment goes further, tracking not just EMF, but temperature, light, and motion.

Capturing Visual Proof (SLS and Cameras)

The Proof is in the Picture: Advanced Visual Documentation

While audio evidence can be compelling, visual proof is the gold standard and is the easiest way to present evidence to others for consideration. In the darkness of a haunted location, a standard camera is useless. You need devices that can see beyond the human eye—specifically, infrared and full-spectrum technology. The traditional choice is a basic infrared (IR) camera, which only captures a flat, 2D image.

The Game Changer: The V2 SLS Camera
For groundbreaking, compelling visual evidence, the V2 SLS (Structured Light Sensor) Camera is unmatched. Unlike a flat IR camera, the SLS system projects a grid of infrared light into the environment. Its sensor then tracks any distortions in that grid, reconstructing it into a 3D skeletal figure in real-time.

3D Mapping: Captures the shape of an entity, proving the anomaly is not just dust, shadow, or lens flare.

Real-Time Evidence: See potential non-human figures moving and interacting with the environment as it happens.

Our V2 is a trusted piece of paranormal investigation gear designed for high-performance and durability.

By combining the V2 SLS with an EMF meter, you can visually confirm a figure right as an energy spike occurs.

Essential Core Gear

The Essentials: Gear You Must Always Carry

Before you invest in advanced communication gear, every investigator needs to cover the basics. These are the items that ensure safety, reliable documentation, and logistical success:

Lighting: A durable, reliable flashlight (torch) and a headlamp (to keep hands free). Always carry spare batteries!

Recording: A high-quality digital audio recorder for traditional EVP sessions.

Safety: A first aid kit and a portable power bank (you don’t want your gear dying mid-investigation).

Documentation: A pen and notebook for logging environmental data, personal experiences, and timestamping events.
