"There has been a huge increase in the amount of people interested in researching the paranormal--specifically 'ghosts' or 'spirits'. Paranormal research is nothing new, but with today's technology it makes it more accessible than ever before. Unfortunately most technology doesn't come with separate instructions on how to use it to find or disprove evidence of the paranormal! Modern technology and paranormal research is a guide written to help those interested learn about all of the equipment we use, how we use it, what its purpose is, and what to look out for when purchasing it for this reason. As the tech manager of a paranormal research team based out of Western New York for several years, I've worked with countless pieces of equipment and have learned what works and what doesn't. I will go into detail about EMF meters, digital voice recorders, camcorders, full spectrum equipment, 'spirit boxes', new inventions, and many more. This book will also detail many stories of real investigation I've been on to use as examples of how well the equipment has or hasn't worked in certain situations. I also look at how personal experiences on these investigations compare to physical evidence. Locations talked about include Waverly Hills Sanatorium, the Buffalo Central Library, the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society, The Knickerbocker Hotel, and more." -- P. [4] of cover.
