K-II EMF Meter for Ghost Hunting

by K-II Enterprises

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, are emitted by electrical devices of all types. EMFs are everywhere, originating from appliances, cell phones, electrical wiring, and even the human body. The K-II EMF Meter helps measure these fields to identify appliances that produce high-level emissions, allowing users to make informed decisions about limiting exposure. EMF fluctuations have also been associated with locations where unexplained phenomena have been reported, including alleged hauntings. The K-II operates on a single 9V battery, and reports EMF measurements in five milliGauss ranges.

Please note: this product is intended to measure electric fields, and does not detect nuclear radiation.

5.0 out of 5 stars This K2 is a Must Have Tool for the Job!, December 22, 2009

While trying to choose a proper EMF meter for my intended purpose, I came across the K2 in use on the latest "Paranormal/Ghost Hunting" (and increasingly more scientific) T.V. shows. It was clear to me that the advantage of having bright LED lights indicate an EMF spike while constantly monitoring in a dark environment would make the job much easier. My K2 arrived very quickly and I immediately unboxed the unit and tested the sensitivity around walls and home appliances (as suggested in the included literature) to get a "feel" for real world use. I was absolutely stunned at how quick and responsive my K2 is and feel that it is indeed the best choice I could have made. Let's just say that I plan to stand at least 3 feet away from my microwave oven when it is in use AND have already moved my clock radio away from my head when I sleep! The good news is that the unit will indicate an EMF spike almost instantly as I proved by powering up the microwave oven and and watching the K2 while pushing the power button on our cordless phone.

I am simply elated with the quality and functionality of the K2! I CAN'T WAIT to use this in the field. I consider the graphic display of an EMF spike via the K2's unmistakably bright LED's along with the simultaneous capture of an EVP or visual anomaly as a much stronger support of evidence.

In final, this product has exceeded my expectations in every way. This latest version of the K2 has an improved switch that keeps it powered on until you physically turn it off. This is a huge improvement as the original unit required the user to hold the power button down while monitoring, hence constant monitoring in a allegedly haunted or active location was challenging. Additionally, the cost vs. benefit of this device is more than reasonable. It is thankfully made in the USA and solidly built. In final I want to rave about ghost_augustine, the seller I chose as they shipped the unit to me at light speed and the unit arrived with a well-written custom instruction sheet AND even included a brand new battery to get started right out of the box!

4.0 out of 5 stars K-II meter, October 2, 2010

I run a paranormal investigation group in Portland, OR and received the K-II meter yesterday. Although we have not tried it in the field yet, I ran tests in my house to see if I could get any false readings. I tested multiple devices that were not on and received no readings at all. It wasn't until I tested an external hard drive, USB hub and an MP3 player that was charging that I received any readings. The external hard drive read in the 1.5 - 2.5 mG range (yellow). The MP3 player showed a 1.5 mG reading (green) and the USB hub also received a 1.5 hit. I was unable to achieve any false readings with the electronic equipment in my house nor any readings at all in locations with no visible electronic equipment.

As far as I can tell so far, it works exactly as advertised and feel confident that any readings I receive in the field will be accurate. The item is extremely light weight and runs off a 9 volt battery which was included. It powered on and worked right out of the box. It doesn't come with any instructions but does have a pamphlet explaining what EMF is.

If you plan on using the K-II for paranormal investigations, I highly recommend testing it around your house first so you are confident the readings are true and accurate. So far I highly recommend this item despite it's somewhat inflated price which is to be expected since this device, although designed for home readings, is so widely used on shows like Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters.

The other great thing about this model is the on/off switch. Since you don't have to hold the switch down in order for it to work, you can set it down, back away, and ask questions while ensuring that there are no external sources such as a video camcorder, cell phone or radio near the item which could cause false readings.

If you are a paranormal investigator, feel free to check out our website where we will post a review of this item in the future after using it in the field. We can be found at [...]

The only reason I have not given it a 5-star rating is because we have not used it yet on an actual investigation. If it performs as it does during home testing or we get actual responses during a Q&A session, I would give it a 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars The K-2 Meter Should Be Standard Equipment, March 22, 2010

Unlike other paranormal equipment, the K-2 is a meter with common everyday uses. Electricians use them to test electromagnetic fields. It's used in the normal AND paranormal world.
My team has used the K-2 Meter with very much success. The beautiful colored lights tell how strong an EMF field is in any certain spot. In theory, emf raditaion is related to the presence of spirits. I have used it to actually trace out a human form on two occasions! You can use it for EMF sweeps as well as contact sessions. This is where you turn the K-2 on and lay the device down. You then ask questions and wait a few seconds for a response to each. In theory, whenever a spirit comes closer to the device, more lights will light up. You can use this for "yes" and "no" answers.We have found if you snap a picture where the K-2 spikes, you will get some form of energy in the pic. In my opinion, all paranormal groups should have at least one K-2 as standard equipment. Not only are they very helpful but are just plain fun to use!
