I remember the tech guy that went missing and one of the meters he introduced. It appears to be the Ramsay / Moditronic meter that detects electrostatic charges as well as AC EM fields. Like a combination of the Alpha labs trifield and trifield natural, which would make it a very capable meter. Yet Stevo went back to a Sperry which only detects a very limited AC spectrum from 30-300 Hertz. Maybe the Ramsay was too complex for him to use. EMF for dummies. Tongue out

As a parting shot to G, in the EMF sweeps with the K2 he appears not to know where the inductor sensor is. He uses it if it's near the Leds when the sensor is actually back near the switch. 

Granted (pun), G doesn't appear to be bright enough to do an electronics mod either. But I think we need to keep in mind with any new electronic gadgets they or some other ghost show introduce, there's always the possibility of electronic tampering.

There's a theory out there (and this one has some merit LOL) that crappy audio recorders produce better EVPs so, by extrapolation, maybe crappy EMF detectors produce/detect better signatures, conversations, and general all-around significant activity.

Well, they either have a guy or had a guy for the electronics.  Can't remember what his name was.  He did come along with them once went they returned to Eastern State Penitentiary.


Ah yes.  Is he the one who showed up with a ton of new gadgets they were going to keep trying each week, then was never seen again?


The TAPS version of "Q"  was Ron, the guy who worked in the basement. http://www.nightsearch.net/biographies/ronmilione.htm

I think the last on screen invention of his was a KII on steroids, a bulky black box with two curved rows of LEDS and an antenna that stuck out about 18"

I would say crappy audio recorders and crappy EMF detectors produce MORE hits and so called voices yes that's true. More but not better. More because patterns can be heard in the artifacts IMO.

Doc, that's the Ramsey, or a variant thereof minus the big antenna out the front.

Looks a lot like the Moditronic one. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/247/123812.jpg

Apparently they are available in kit form also.

Well, one thing for sure: crappy ghost hunters don't produce better results.

But they DO get _more_ results :)

I'm going to nominate the Camera switch going on and off at the Pensacola Lighthouse for inclusion or at least discussion about being included on the list.

It's a list item. He was holding it. Do we have anything more than his word that the switch was moving by itself?
