Recently in this past spring college semester, I have been very interested in different kind of "ghost hunting" television shows. I've seen a couple on the Discovery Channel and a few different ones on the Travel Channel. Each show has the same goal as they throw themselves into the most haunted houses and buildings throughout the world for the night; this goal is to see if in fact there are actual findings of supernatural beings that "haunt" the house. In my opinion, ghosts are real. I don't believe in the ghosts that you see on regular kids movies of that sort, but I believe that spirits of different types of historical people have been left behind on this earth. The only way to see if this is true or not, these ghost hunters use different types of very advanced instruments to try and detect and communicate with these so called spirits.
Some of the different instruments they use are a classic video camera with night vision, digital audio recorders, electromagnetic frequency detector, and/or thermal scanner. All of these different types of technology aid in finding out if the actual building you are searching is haunted or not. The video camera with night vision obviously is used for video logging your experiences as well as aiding you get around the pitch black house since you don't want to ghost hunt with any types of light. Ghost hunters use the digital audio recorders to provoke the spirits and see if they can get a response back from the spirit. Usually the sound that will come back from the recording is a very muffled noise that has to be enhanced, and usually is still a little sketchy. The electromagnetic frequency detector is an instrument that is used to detect any type of electricity running through the air (also known as energy). So, when you search the haunted building, you don't want to have any electricity running through the building. When the EMF detector spikes, that usually means there is some unsuspected energy floating around the air, and it is thought that when ghosts want to communicate, they use the energy of the atmosphere which causes the spike of that EMF detector. As for the thermal scanner or thermal camera, ghost hunters can detect any type of change in temperature that could signify heat or energy given off by a ghost.
Even if you do not believe in ghosts whatsoever, I definitely encourage watching the show "Ghost Hunters" on the Travel Channel. If anything, it will be some good, chilling entertainment, and after watching that show, I'll leave it up to you to see if you believe in these types of ghosts or not.

I personally do not believe in ghosts, I believe in demons but not ghosts. The only ghost I believe in is the Holy ghost, if those are not your beliefs its cool thats just how i believe. However, I have been ghost hunting before and it is super fun. I started watching ghost hunters a few years ago and they have to enhance their findings of course to make the show interesting so people will continue to watch. Every time i watched it though I could not help but want to go out on a ghost hunt for myself, it is blood rushing, and so much fun just to get scared of something that may or may not be in a haunted place. I would definately recommend ghost hunting if your bored and want to have a good time.
