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.
- 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.

- 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.
Starting Your Journey as a UK Paranormal Investigator
The goal of ghost hunting isn’t just to buy equipment—it’s to gather credible evidence. By starting with foundational gear and strategically investing in advanced, high-performance tools like the Spirit Portal, V2 SLS, and Spirit Bridge, you are giving yourself the best chance to capture ground-breaking evidence in the UK’s most haunted locations.
