Getting Started
These are some "must haves" in equipment for every investigator.
Check out the link to my Amazon Storefront for direct links to some of my favorite pieces of equipment!
Hot Tip: Set your budget for your equipment and make sure you STICK TO IT. There is a LOT out there and it's very easy to get a little overly excited when stocking your arsenal. Focus on the essentials, and then make a wish list for the future. This isn't worth draining your savings on. Investigating is all about the senses and personal experiences. The more "fancy toys" that are involved, the more volatile your credibility can become.
The Essentials

Digital Recorder - Important for gathering audio evidence such as EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), as well as aiding in either reinforcing or debunking possible evidence on other devices.
The EVISTR 16GB Digital Voice Recorder is an affordable and compact option that is great for any investigator.
EMF or Mel Meter - I use the ERICKHILL EMF Meter mostly for debunking and safety. In high doses, EMF from electric appliances or lines can cause a plethora of health issues and symptoms that could be mistaken for paranormal activity. It is theorized that entities also give off EMF, but the evidence around this theory doesn't provide enough confidence for me personally to rely on it as stand alone proof of paranormal.

The Canon XA11 Compact Full HD Camcorder has a higher end price tag but is worth the money if you are interested in investigation for the long term. Visual evidence can sometimes be the deciding factor on whether or not your proof will be "seen" as credible..pun intended.

Experimental Equipment
There have been leaps and bounds made in the paranormal communities when it comes to investigative equipment. Everything from cat toys, to modified video game consoles and beyond. When it comes to these more "experimental" approaches, tread lightly. All paranormal evidence will be disputable in some way. The more we involve things like technology, theoretical practices, gimmicks, and theatre, the more we invite bias scrutiny and dismissive speculation. However, I list these items as experimental very intentionally, because at the end of the day, there is a level of discovery, learning, and critical observation that could make these very tools indisputable in the future.
Paranormal at it's core means, Beyond Normal, and what we do is definitely that.
The SB7 Spirit Box - A VERY popular piece of equipment. It's theorized that entities or spirits can communicate with us within the rolling noise of the radio waves. This is a simple and sometimes effective way to use the electromagnetic spectrum in your investigation. See what works for you, and try different methods of using it!


Mini Mag Flashlight - This simple piece of equipment is a favorite of mine. Not only is it important to have a flashlight, especially if you're investigating a location without electricity, but it can double as a possible communication device... with some conditions. Theoretically, if you twist the flashlight so that it is barely off, spirits/entities can use their energy to complete the connection when touching it and manipulate the power, thus using the light to communicate. Although this can be a very exciting concept, it has it's margin for error. I highly recommend working with multiple flashlights when gathering evidence with this experiment. If you're finding manipulation is happening on command with three or four different lights, you're more likely to be able to convince others of your contact!
REM Pod (Radiating ElectroMagnetic Pod) - Another Fan Favorite. REM Pods emit a small EM(electromagnetic) field and will alert you to any changed in it's surrounding field. This seems like a full proof way to detect activity in areas where you can't be present. However, there has been a lot of research around the validity of these devices and the findings have shows the pods being triggered by things such as; high humidity, florescent lights, and walkie talkies.
