The gadgets and devices used to detect, record, or communicate with paranormal entities, ranging from the classic EMF meter (measures electromagnetic fields, also measures microwaves, also measures nothing when ghosts aren't cooperating) to the more elaborate "spirit boxes" that scan radio frequencies (catching everything and nothing simultaneously). Paranormal technologies are beloved by ghost hunters because they beep and flash, creating the illusion of activity even when nothing's there. The most advanced paranormal technology remains the human imagination, which can see ghosts in any shadow and hear them in any creak.
Paranormal Technologies Example: "He invested $500 in paranormal technologies—a full spectrum camera, a digital voice recorder, and a laser grid that was supposed to reveal shadow figures. On his first investigation, the camera battery died, the recorder picked up only his own nervous breathing, and the laser grid revealed... a wall. He concluded the ghosts were technologically sophisticated and had jammed his equipment."
