Want to be a ghost hunter this Halloween<\/a>? Let Amy Bruni from the SyFy series Ghost Hunters<\/em><\/a> show you how to detect paranormal activity in your home or whether those spooky chills and poltergeist-like malfunctions can be addressed through simple household maintenance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ghost Hunting Equipment Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ghost hunting is hardly a newfangled pursuit, but it can be cumbersome if you don’t know what ghost hunting equipment to use. The macabre hobby has been around since the late-seventeenth century when sightings started popping up all over the British Isles. And it’s been popularized here in the U.S. by the hit television show Ghost Hunters.<\/p>\n

Back in the 17th century, the application of leeches was one “cure” for seeing apparitions. Sleuths wrote tons on exploits and revelations. A hundred years later, a center for paranormal studies was formed and still exists to this day, laying the groundwork for a seemingly everlasting preoccupation with the occult.<\/p>\n

Modern-day ghost hunters have come a long way since leeches. They now employ hoards of cool ghost-hunting tools<\/a> to help decipher what the other side is trying to tell us and whether it’s speaking at all. We spoke with paranormal investigator, Amy Bruni from SyFy’s Ghost Hunters to help us determine whether that static in the attic requires the eagle eyes of a ghost hunting pro or a local electrician. “In almost every case there’s a logical explanation for what’s happening in your home,” says Bruni. Makes sense since only 20 percent of the Ghost Hunters’ cases can’t be attributed to real causes.<\/p>\n

How to get rid of ghosts if your house is haunted?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here’s how to be a real ghost hunter and how to self-diagnose a bunch of household headaches that are likely leaving you scratching your head while they bump in the night.<\/p>\n

UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENON #1: Frequent and extreme temperature fluctuations concentrated in one area (a.k.a. hot and cold spots).<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Working Theory:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

While cold spots are supposedly caused by a spirit’s need for copious amounts of warm air to reveal itself, hot spots are tip-offs that one has just shown up (or, at least, is gearing up to) in said area. “It’s a very old theory, albeit not a very scientific one,” says Bruni.<\/p>\n

What Would a Ghost Hunter Do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cold and hot spots are some of the most common household irregularities for which ghost hunters are summoned. They also seem to be one of the real trademarks of paranormal activity. But just because you’ve got cold feet or an er…unusually hot seat, don’t expect Bruni and her team to declare your house The Amityville Horror<\/a>; you can be too quick with those haunting conclusions. “We’ve found many hot and cold spots that couldn’t be traced to specific causes. But while they’re strange, they alone aren’t what Ghost Hunters classify as paranormal,” she says.<\/p>\n
