Our Equipment and Recommendations

At Deamons and Ghosts Inc, we use several pieces of standardized ghost hunting equipment. Let's take a look at our main pieces below:

Spirit Box

Our spirit box is a more sophisticated version of a radio that connects to a blue tooth speaker. We only use this when Alexei isn't present because it can conflict with his psychic abilities. If you want to create one at home, you can do a little DIY on a standard radio by disabling the part that stops between station or you can get a cheap one on Amazon to get started! We have found that this is the best way to communicate with spirits when our medium isn't around.

Make sure you always record everything when using a spirit box. Video and audio are important, you never know if you'll catch a flicker of a spirit in the background right when they say something.

We use the below spirit box from Amazon:

You can find the same one here.

Cameras

At every haunt we investigate, we set up stationary cameras in every room that are constantly recording, as well as motion activated cameras that take photos and videos every time something moves across our light fields. Any high quality recording device will work for the stationary cameras. We personally use go pros for continuous recording and streaming directly back to our home computers.

For our motion activated cameras, we use doorbell cameras for smaller rooms and motion sensor security cameras in bigger rooms. We use Halloween and Christmas light projectors for the light fields.

Most of these can be bought cheaply and easily online or second hand, just make sure that you test them before bringing them to a haunt! We learned that the hard way when a ghost walked through our light field in front of us, and not a single one of our cameras was actually recording! That's lost evidence and a lot of people not believing you afterwards.

EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) Recorder

One of the most important things to have in your kit is an EVP recorder. These machines are crazy, they can catch sounds and noises that you didn't hear while you were on location. We recommend listening to all recordings from these devices multiple times and running them through an audio processor such as Audacity to view the noise waves and potentially locate any changes or especially different sounds.

We started with one, but saved up overtime to get about 4, so we can keep them in the most haunted rooms even when we aren't around. We love our EVP Recorders from Olympus, but there are several options. You'll just have to look into what works best for you!

EMF or Gaussmeters

EMF or Electromagnetic Field Readers are used to detect the subtle changes in the air around us and potentially reveal a spirit. Gaussmeters are more sensitive versions of the same device. Personally, we only use EMFs in our investigations, as ours have always worked perfectly fine. We use one from Amazon, but you can typically get one from a hardware store as well, as many people are concerned about the electromagnetic waves in their houses. Even a cheap one can act fairly accurately, it's just important to research and check reviews online. We use the one from Erickhill on Amazon.

And of course, you will always need a good video editing program and audio editing program. There are tons of free programs available for both, so choose one within your budget!

As always, be careful while ghost hunting, don't trespass, and if you think it might be a daemon, tread carefully! Daemons are much more dangerous than ghosts!

The Science Behind Ghost Hunting: Exploring Paranormal Phenomena

Ghost hunting, often shrouded in mystery and folklore, has captivated the curious for centuries. But beyond the spooky tales and eerie encounters, there lies a fascinating world of scientific inquiry. The science behind ghost hunting seeks to understand and explain paranormal phenomena through objective observation and empirical evidence. Understanding the Paranormal Before we delve into the…

GHOST HUNTING!

The ultimate in paranormal filming: The Zoom Q8n!

150 degree wide angle lens ensuring as much of any area can be covered as possible, and with NO focusing!

4K resolution

96kHz sound, instead of the 48kHz found in most cameras, even high end equipment!

Invented for musicians, there's no greater (or more reasonably priced) camera for ghost hunters! Intended to be set up (or clamped on) & forgotten about, the Zoom Q8n is virtually fool proof.

$399

Got a professional microphone and an XLR cable? Great! Plug it into the Zoom's side. It has two XLR inputs and Phantom Power to keep your microphones going..though that will take from the battery.

The biggest complaint is going to be the 150 degree wide angle lens. That's going to give you some fisheye, no doubt, but Zoom needed that to make the camera fool proof. Remember, it was designed for musicians. These are people busy performing. With the wide angle lens they capture everything and don't have to worry about it being in focus. Luckily, the camera has a built-in fisheye reduction feature with a number of settings. Your resolution will drop a little with every step down, as will your field of view, but if you hate the fisheye you can get rid of it.

There's multiple built-in light levels, giving you plenty to play with.

The camera records to a microSD card. This is my biggest complaint. I prefer using full sized SD cards myself, as do most people I know...

The camera has a microHDMI output, which means with the right cable you can watch your video (and listen to the video) on a widescreen TV!

I owned the old version, the Zoom Q8, and it was still my favorite toy some 8 years later! It got more use as an audio recorder than a camera but I did use it as a camera.

Intelligent Interaction at Victorian View

 Laynee & Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal were just setting up to conduct a Private Paranormal Investigation at The Victorian View in Washington Iowa USA when they encountered a lot of device interactions on the first floor of the Victorian View in Washington Iowa.

 Laynee & Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal even captured what they believe was a disembodied voice in The Victorian View Venue Banquet.

Super Dead Soulmates

In this universe, any injury or scar you sustain appears on your soulmate. However, for as long as he could remember, Danny never gained an injury that wasn’t his own. When he was very young, his parents would always say that he was just a late bloomer and perhaps his soulmate was a few years younger than he was and thus, just wasn’t born yet. As Danny grew older, they got more absorbed in their work and just seemed to forget about the whole ordeal. Danny never asked them about it again, afraid they might think a ghost had ‘cursed’ him or something. It was hard enough to hide the lack of additional scars at school. Luckily, most people don’t get injured very often so it was easy enough to play off some of his injuries as that from a soulmate. The only ones who knew the truth were his sister and his best friends. Danny was just convinced that he didn’t have a soulmate and had accepted that fact, even if it hurt. Then the accident happened and for once, he was thankful his soulmate wouldn’t have to feel his pain. And even more so when he started to fight the other ghosts daily. Danny was content to live like this, but with more ghost fights, his injuries started piling up. Danny excused them saying that they were from his soulmate. It didn’t completely get rid of the scrutiny but most people bought it. Afterall, how else would puny Fenton get those kinds of bruises? So for a while, that excuse worked…until someone realized that Danny and Phantom’s injuries linked up (I vote Wes). Now normally, the natural conclusion would be that Danny and Phantom were the same person. But due to the fact that one of them was dead and the other clearly alive, everyone gained a new theory…that Phantom was Danny’s soulmate. It would explain the recent injuries as Phantom was often seen fighting other ghosts. And to be honest, this was the perfect cover. It’s not like Danny had an actual soulmate who might show up and this added another layer of protection against people thinking he and Phantom were the same person. So Danny remained silent and let the rumors grow. Sure people now thought he and Phantom were dating but that was fiiiiiinnnneee. (But BOY was that an awkward conversation with his parents). 

And then Kon was born.

As a clone, all he knew from the outside was implanted into his mind. He knew the color of the sky, the sound of music, academic equations and a lot of common knowledge such as soulmates. He knew that injuries were shared between a bonded pair and that everyone had a soulmate. But he was different. He wasn't born a baby and grew up alongside another person. He wasn’t even real according to some people. Yet one day, he noticed bruises lining his arms, he was confused. He should have had impenetrable skin like Superman. As far as he could remember, his skin had never been pierced before. And it’s not like he fought a godlike being that day. He shouldn’t have any injuries. Kon decided to ignore them but the injuries kept showing up. It got so bad that his team started to notice and sat him down asking if everything was alright with his powers or if he was exposed to kryptonite somehow. So, very confused, Kon had explained that the injuries just kept showing up. It was only after his team gave him a curious look and explained the concepts of soulmates did everything click with him. Sure, Kon knew about soulmates but surely that couldn't be what this was! He was a clone! He shouldn’t have a soulmate. It was impossible! But after a few more days of observation and a bit of testing, everyone determined that this was, in fact, a soulmate bond. 

To say Kon was ecstatic was an understatement. Actually, it was a mix of excitement, nervousness, worry, and joy all rolled into one. He was elated at the idea that he had someone meant for him. Someone who would accept all of him. Kon had looked at the others and there had always been a slight jealousy when he saw a paper cut bloom on their fingers or see them rub a bruised knee fondly. 

But more than anything. He was happy because this was proof that he was real. Afterall, a soulmate wouldn’t match with him unless his soul was equal to theirs. His body almost melted with relief at that realization. A weight off his shoulders he never fully grasped was still there. 

Of course there was the worry of why exactly his soulmate had so many injuries. For a hero, it was obvious they would get injured (although they tried to have as much protective padding as possible to limit that possibility. But some injuries still got through.) Yet the amount of injuries Kon’s soulmate sustained were far more than that (because Danny lacked proper padding  and didn’t think he had to worry about a soulmate. Most injuries looked worse than they were anyways due to his fast healing). And on the contrary, Kon’s skin was perfectly clear. With his kryptonian biology, even if he got hurt, it never left a mark. So all the injuries and bruises sustained on him were purely from his soulmate. And there was enough for two people. On the bright side, it helped with his cover, on the downside, Kon started to worry about his soulmate. (Meanwhile, Danny didn’t notice a difference. Sure, sometimes he would feel a temporary ache or sharp pain but no mark was left so he just assumed the pain was sore muscles from a previous battle or that one of his rogues were hitting harder than he thought.) 

As for Kon, he and his team used every resource at their disposal to try and track down Kon’s soulmate. They did this for every member of the team as hero soulmates were in more danger than most but they paid special attention to Kon’s soulmate due to the rapid accumulation of injuries. 

Kon would fantasize on what his soulmate would be like. Would they be tall? Short? They would probably be able to fight. Boy or girl? It doesn't really matter. Kon knew opposite gender soulmates were more common but he wouldn’t mind a guy either. His days were filled with dreams of a mystery person. Someone he could hold in his arms and protect. Who would comfort him after patrols and who he could introduce to his friends. 

After a while, Tim finally found a lead. Some doctor records of a boy in a small town called Amity. Apparently he was prescribed pain medicine to help with ‘soulmate injuries’. The lost of injuries were extensive and after looking at some pictures, they realized that his scars and Kon’s scars lined up. A perfect match. So it wasn’t long before they made a quick road trip to Amity. 

This place was already on the Justice League radar. It was a town that appears to have a permanent portal to the afterlife and was attacked often. (Which might explain why Kon’s soulmate was so injured). The Justice League had not interfered yet because the town had a local hero as well. Someone who seemed good at his job and who Tim was even thinking of recruiting. So this was a good opportunity to hit two birds with one stone. Afterall, not much was known about this mysterious Phantom other than he dedicated his afterlife to protecting this one town. Once they got to Amity they would probably need to check in with Phantom before anything. And despite his impatience with finding the person who might be his soulmate, even Kon was excited to meet this hero. Apparently Phantom had vast experience but also a major power set. He might gain another flying buddy or someone he could wrestle with without worrying about his strength. Afterall, Phantom also supposedly had super strength and even if he didn’t, it’s not like you can kill a ghost. Yet no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find him. It was only by coincidence that they stumbled upon Danny instead and his group of friends. 

The first time Kon saw Danny, it was like coming home. He wanted to do nothing more than rush to his soulmate and hug him and vow to always keep him safe. He wanted to prove that he would be the best soulmate ever and he wanted to know everything there was to know about him. He was practically vibrating where he stood in his civilian disguise and it was only his friends that held him back from flying over and surprising the poor boy.

But before he could do anything, a ghost attacked. Kon barely had enough time to grab his friends and dodge when some kind of glowing creature crashed into a building. And while normally he would immediately find somewhere to change, Kon’s first instinct was to check on his soulmate, only to see the two people he assumed to be the boy’s friends but no sign of Danny. Frantically looking around, he didn’t notice the glowing creature behind him (was that a dragon?) but before it could reach him, another glowing figure intercepted the attack. They looked almost ethereal with white hair softly floating in the air and a suit that hugged his muscled form tightly. The figure turned around and gave a sheepish smile towards Kon. “You ok?”

And it felt like for the second time that day, Kon was rendered breathless. 

Someone was protecting him.

Someone was protecting him?

Yet it felt…nice. Warm.

Before Kon could gather his thoughts though the battle picked up in earnest. He and his team found cover and changed into their suits. When they came to help, the person Kon assumed to be Phantom looked surprised at their sudden appearance but it wasn’t long before he and everyone else started working together. Unfortunately, actually fighting the ghost seemed to be impossible. Whenever they got close, their hits just passed right through so Phantom quickly regulated them on defense and citizen protection duty. Occasionally getting a hit in when the creature was tangible. Watching Phantom fight was something. Kon could understand why he was elected to join their team. He had this sort of grace and power that couldn’t be explained in words but was clearly from the experience of many battles.

Despite not being able to do much, fighting with Phantom was fun. They seemed to be completely in sync and it wasn’t long before Kon started to enjoy his loud commentary and puns as the two ghosts fought.

However, one particularly hard hit made it so that the dragon’s claws grazed his chest. Leaving three shallow gashes, but Phantom took the close proximity that attack gave him and sucked the creature into…a soup thermos?

But Kon wasn’t focused on that. He was wholly focused on the stinging pain suddenly coming from his chest, underneath his untouched uniform that clearly had not been hit. Kon didn’t know how to process what was happening. Everything suddenly became louder and he vaguely tried to move but it was like his mind became mush as he tried to process what that meant. He managed to get away for a bit and undid his shit, looking down to see three shallow scratches along his chest. Scratches that perfectly mirrored Phantom. In the corner of his eye, Kon saw a head of black hair and witnessed as Danny reunited with his two friends he had been separated from in the chaos. And as Danny twisted to hug them, his shirt flipped up enough to see another identical 3 scratches along the boy's stomach. Perfectly mirroring Phantoms. 

It was only later that Kon and his team did some more research on the town and it’s ghosts and learned the unofficial secret that Phantom and Danny were dating. That Phantom had Likely come back from the afterlife to protect the town his soulmate lived in. On the bright side, at least now he could confirm Danny really was his soulmate. And he knew where all those injuries were coming from.

Kon had found his soulmate.

Correction, he found his soumates

And they were already bonded to each other.

…

….so where did that leave him?

There are now two options. 

1: Kon decided that he just needs to woo both his soulmates and starts doing so both as Superboy and as Conner. Danny is very confused who these people are (because as far as he knows, he doesn’t have a soulmate, and since Kon doesn’t visibly show injury, there is no sign (unless Danny somehow injures himself in a place that is visible but he’s been trying to avoid that to make everyone worry less.)). Kon goes all out. He gets flowers, chocolates, writes poetry (whether good or not doesn’t matter) starts wooing Phantom in hero form, showing off his strength and skill whenever possible. (And unfortunately, also his dork side when he isn’t paying attention while flying) Asking to hang out, insist on paying for everything. Danny sees this tall Hunk who is paying attention to him and he doesn’t know what to do. And there are TWO OF THEM! (Also, in this version it might be funny if people suspect Danny and Phantom are dating but don’t know for sure and since they are never around each other, people might assume they just don’t know. So Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are all for Danny possibly starting a relationship with Kon along with Kon’s team who are cheering them on and trying to help the poor clone boy who has no experience with romance. Meanwhile literally everyone else in the town who likes Phantom is trying to run interference and get Danny and their hero together. 

2: The angst option. Kon decides that the fact that he has two soulmates who are together is likely a result of him being a clone. It’s not that he had someone waiting for him (how could he think someone was waiting their whole life just for him? How stupid was he?!) Kon had just hijacked a different bond. So he tries to stay away. Unfortunately, Tim had talked with Phantom while Kon was out of it so now they have started to team up. This makes avoiding him very difficult as he keeps running into Phantom. Moreover, he runs into Danny because they need him for the ghost hunting equipment. And slowly but surely, Kon falls in love with ‘both’ his soulmates but doesn’t want to get ‘between’ them. And Danny wants to know why one of his new teammates is avoiding him.
