Great EMF Detector, December 12, 2007
Every paranormal investigator or ghost hunter relies heavily on their equipment to conduct thorough and credible investigation. The very best that any investigator could hope for is finding an inexpensive piece of equipment that's a reliable indicator of paranormal activity. The Ghost meter by the makers of CellSensor may not be the only or the most important tool an investigator needs, but after using it in the field for several months, I'm convinced that it comes close.
This meter has quickly become a favorite investigation tool of Ghost hunters all over the country. This is due to its low cost, simplicity of use, low or no light capabilities, compact size, sensitivity, durability, and reliability for measuring fluctuations and intensities of electromagnetic energy fields.
So why are paranormal investigators interested in detecting the fluctuations and relative strengths of these fields? All matter is composed of electrical particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons), and all electrical charges are surrounded by a magnetic field. Together, these electrical charges and magnetic fields create measurable electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy fields are commonly called EMFs. Even the human body is surrounded by a weak electromagnetic field. Normally, higher EMF emissions are created whenever man-made electrical power flows through a wire, conductor, or appliance. These electromagnetic fields cannot be seen, felt, or heard, but they are present in and around all electric lines and devices. EMF meters easily detect and identify the higher energy fields surrounding electrical equipment because man-made fields remain constant. However, electromagnetic fields at haunted locations tend to be erratic and fluctuate in strength rather than remain constant like man-made EMFs. They also occur where there is no obvious man made source of EMF such as a house with the electricity turned off. My experience using the Ghost Meter in residences where my team disconnected all man-made power sources confirms my belief that unexplained paranormal electromagnetic energy fields are detected and measured by this meter. One caveat; the exact nature of the connection between erratic, fluctuating EMFs and paranormal activity is still not well understood and borders on speculation. Hopefully as more people and groups seriously investigate hauntings and the paranormal this connection will become better understood and scientifically repeatable.
Two of the most interesting and useful applications of this product are:
1. Using the meter in conjunction with cameras, audio and video recorders. This very often yields successful results. For instance, when anomalous EMFs are detected the investigator should take photos, record audio, or shoot video in hopes of documenting an anomaly.
2. Using the detector as a spiritual communication device. Many ghost hunting clubs are using this detector as a communication device. I have personally seen this meter repeatedly spike into the high 50+ milligauss range and then drop back to the normal range in response to questions asked at investigation sites.
This device uses a single 9 volt battery and draws minimal battery power during operation. The meter is activated by pressing a button on the top of the case and will stay operational until the button is pressed again.
From tests conducted by my team The Ghost Meter and the K-II EMF Meter are calibrated almost identically. We use both to "sweep" a location in search of fluctuating EMFs and then employ a pair of them as a "check and balance system" after the epicenter of the energy field has been located.
My ultimate opinion after extensive use of this meter is that it is practical and affordable and is about the only game in town when it comes to investigating in low light conditions especially with accuracy and the use of only hand. One or two of these EMF meters should definitely be included in your essential ghost hunting equipment!
PROS:
Inexpensive. Lightweight. Compact size. Ergonomic design. Silent mode. Three indicators of EMF field strength. Bright LEDS visible day or night. Simple to use. Durable construction. Long lasting battery. Possible spirit communication device.
CONS:
Will pick up cell phone tower communications so cell phones must be turned off and left elsewhere during investigations. The plastic body will not survive intact when dropped from a high distance onto a hard surface such as concrete (speaking from experience).

Great, January 30, 2008
This is a grat EMF detector. It has everything that I was looking for and nothing fancy. It has the needle, lights up when it detects something and volume control that is easily workable in one hand.

Not Very Effective, April 10, 2009
I bought this model last month after I found some blood dripping down the wall of my sitting room and an eerie moaning that seemed to be emanating from the floorboards.
I liked the simplicity of the EMF Detector and the easy-to-clean casing, which got a little vomit on it at one point (the bile was dripping from a ceiling vent and was of unknown origin). Also, the sensitivity tuning was handy. Two stars for overall design.
However, I'm afraid that's all I can give it in terms of positive attributes. After four hours of crawling around my house with the detector, it didn't find a single ghost.
To be fair, at one point I DID follow the EMF readouts into a secret corridor I discovered behind the stairs, at the end of which was a translucent girl in Victorian garb who was silently weeping and pointing at me. HOWEVER, after she disappeared in an explosion of flames, the EMF detector continued to indicate a presence. That's when I realized that it was actually detecting the electricity coming from the wall sconces! It turns out, pretty much everything emits an electromagnetic field: lamps, toasters, microwaves, cell phones, ghosts, whatever.
In summary, this thing is totally useless, unless you want to find power lines or something. Ghost power lines.
