I have this in my arsenal of tech toys as well as a K-II. I tend to use this EMF meter more. Reasons why are for the simple fact that any fluctuation detected on the high scale will light up the top of the device like a Christmas tree. This is handy for doing an investigation in the dark. Something else that I really love is the fact that it has a speaker output with a volume control. As far as it's sensitivity, it's just as sensitive as a K-II meter yet you can buy this for half the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great EMF Detector, December 12, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Who ya gonna call... Alterntive Tech International, August 25, 2009
This review is from: The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
The Ghost Meter is awesome. Its easy to use, comes with complete instructions and features the most bang for your buck. They may sell more expensive meters but more expensive doesn't always mean better. The Ghost Meter is compact, easy to carry and the power LED is bright enough that you can read the meter in the dark. I'll buy another one when this one finally wears out, and I'll recommend it to anyone joining my team of ghost hunters.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Scientific Instrument for trying to prove something Scientifically, October 29, 2010
This review is from: The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
First off to all the "Ghost Hobby Hunters" let me state my qualification for this review. I run a business which custom develops and manufactures various electronics for federal agencies that require tolerances so precise most large companies don't want to deal with it.

I have a family member who has also been swept up in the whole ghost hunting thing and purchased this meter. After showing me a few videos of "possible" activity based on strange readings from this meter I asked to borrow it for a few days. At first it seemed decent (for the price) as far as accuracy. When swapped out the battery for one aprox. 15% drained (which is about what you would have with a few hours of use) the accuracy range dropped to 8%-30%. WOW! I also found several spots on the board where the voltages became erratic with used batteries. At this point I decided to put it up against a few AlphaLab Gauss Meters (ranging in price from $400-over $1500) and in my opinion this meter only gets aprox. 40% to 70% accuracy.

Now before the fanatics start getting mad let me make a point. I don't consider myself a "Paranormal" type but it has caught my attention especially after my father died from ALS. I have been asked by a friend of mine to join their group on a few cases in which I was shocked to find some of the other members included a retired Bechtel physicist, DSS agent, and a few other scholars. For me it seems intriguing to think about and it does need more research from the scientific community. Having said that it also seems obvious you would want any evidence acquired accurate and UNDENIABLE. This meter in my opinion this meter is far from accurate and should not be used for scientific proof.

If this is just a hobby kind of thing and you are into paranormal stuff for excitement than it is probably good. If you are taking this kind of research seriously than you should consider a Gauss Meter similar to the one below.

For the money,this is an excellent product. It does everything I wanted, it is sensitve to EMF fields and lets me know how much of a "field" an appliance has to it. Compared to another gauss meter (paid more for it, too), this one wins, hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MUST HAVE item for any paranormal investigator, June 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
LITTLE EGYPT GHOST SOCIETY - Southern Illinois paranormal investigators have field tested several EMF meters including the K2 EMF meter, Mel-8704 meter, Ramesy Tri-field meter and the Ghost Meter. We have come to the conclusion that the best very best EMF meter for the price is the Ghost Meter. Unlike all the other EMF meters on the market, the Ghost Meter indicates EMF using 3 different modalities; analog meter, flashing LED light and sound. The sound can be turned off so that it will not interfere with EVP experiments. The meter gives very rapid readings and the flashing LED light can be seen from a distance. We at the LITTLE EGYPT GHOST SOCIETY - Southern Illinois recommend the Ghost Meter to ghost hunters and paranormal investigators from beginners to the most experienced.
