Personal Protection
Everyone
has their own religious or spiritual beliefs. Many investigators feel
the need to say a prayer before dealing with the supernatural. Others
carry around crystals, or other amulets that they believe give them
protection from the unknown. Honestly, it doesn't much matter what you
use as long as you believe, and feel protected. To believers, not
feeling protected can bring about negative feelings in the form of
fear. Fear on an investigation can be a very unproductive thing.

Psychic Abilities
In
the paranormal field, psychic abilities are quite possibly the most
plentiful of all commodities. I'd estimate that about 90 percent of
people involved or interested in the field will tell you how sensitive
or psychic they are...And THAT is awesome. Because, for those that use
these abilities in the field, they can come to other understandings
about an alleged paranormal situation, unable to be revealed by mere
gadgets or scientific methodology. |

Holy Water
A
lot of times, when you get finished with an investigation, you may be
put into a situation where you either have to walk away knowing a place
is haunted, OR you an make it a point to bless the house with holy
water and do a prayer or something to make the spirit go away. You
can't do that without having holy water. Can you? I honestly don't
know, but if you need holy water, you need to go to a church and get
some. You better learn the proper rituals in blessing something
otherwise you might make matters worse.

Smudging Herbs
For
those of you that don't know, 'smudging' is a Native American method
for cleansing the body of negative energy. It is said that before you
can be healed or heal someone else, you have to be purified yourself.
There are many different herbs used in smudging, each with their own
reasons and effects. Look them up if you're interested. A few of them
are sage, sweetgrass, and cedar. These mediums can be bought online
pretty cheap, but I've even seen them in Native American stores in the
mall.

Dowsing Rods
By
many, 'dowsing' is considered the oldest method for ghost and spirit
detection. They're kinda like a questionable EMF meter. In theory,
brass 'L Rods' can detect magnetic fields without getting confused by
the Earths electromagnetic field. If that's true, and the theory that
ghosts effect and/or produce electromagnetic fields is also true, then
the 'L Rod' would lead you directly to the ghost. They can be bought
online or in Occult stores for 15 bucks, and up.

Ouija Board
If
you don't know what a Ouija Board is then go to our Ouija Pages that have been
written specifically to dissect the theories behind it as well as many
people's hatred for it. Let's forget the controversy for a minute. They
used to be sold any place that toys are sold. I haven't seen one in a
store in a LONG time. You MAY be able to find one in the board games
section for around 20 bucks. Otherwise, you can look online for nicer,
and more expensive models. On our Homemade Boards
page you can learn how to make your own!

Pendulum
If
we're gonna bash Ouija boards for their dangerousness, we should
probably include pendulums in that witch hunt... EVP too. And any other
communication for that matter. Regardless, pendulums are used to
communicate with spirits by holding their cord, and asking a question.
The pendulum will swing in specific directions for specific answers.
It's a very simple concept. There are SO many different types of
pendulums and I cannot give you an accurate price. Hell, you can even
use the necklace around your neck.

K-II E.M.F. Meter
The
K-II EMF Meter was already Discussed on our Meters Page, but
there is another side to this gadget that needs to be mentioned. When
it was used on "Ghost Hunters", It was used in a NON scientific way.
Allegedly this thing can be used to actually communicate with spirits.
To use it in this way makes it no different from a Ouija Board or a
pendulum. This is not a bad thing necessarily, but to use it this way
can no longer be considered scientific, because its effectiveness
cannot be quantified.

Granted, aside from my own personal spiritual pursuits, this isn't my
area of knowledge really, and I NEVER use this stuff on an
investigation, so I'm kinda out of my element. If I've missed
something, please let me know, and I'll put it up onto the page. Get me
on our message
board, beyonderbill@yahoo.com, or even on
yahoo messenger under the name BeyonderBill. OR... You can come to my
Myspace page! Heres the
