Well, now that you have picked a good place to conduct your first ghost hunting trip you need to make sure you have the right equipment. A flashlight. Most ghost hunting is done at night so you will probably want to bring a good working flashlight or two with you. A camera. If you have a video camera, that would be great. However a 35 mm camera or a digital camera would be just fine. Whatever camera you use, try to avoid using any non natural light like a flash or a camera light. That way if you do catch a picture of a ghost the skeptics can't use the flash to explain away your picture so easily. A tape(audio)recorder. If you are lucky, you might catch the actual voice of a ghost. Make sure you are using a brand new tape and only use one side of it so that you don't pick up any sounds from the other side of the tape. Also, use a recorder with an outside microphone, otherwise you might pick up sounds from the inside of the recorder. What would be even better than a cassette tape recorder is a digital audio recorder. When you are about to purchase one, make sure that it comes with a usb cord so you can save and edit your evp recordings. A thermometer. Ghosts have been known to create cold spots and you can use a thermometer to record and confirm these occurrences. Also, you might try to snap a picture around the cold spot in hopes of capturing a good ghost pic. A compass. Some say that ghosts can effect electromagnetic fields and when the compass starts to go out of whack you might have a ghost in your presence.
