Hi gang,

Hope all is well with you. I wanted to show some of the new ghost hunting equipment I got for an upcoming ghost hunt in British Columbia. I’ll meet up with Mike and Anthony from the 108 Mile Ranch documentary. Let’s take a look at each gadget …

BooBuddy Interactive v2

BooBuddy V2 Description

The BooBuddy is essentially a high-tech trigger object. It can detect environmental changes and react. Those reactions include voicing an anomaly like “It’s getting chilly” for a temperature drop. In other cases, it can run an EVP session with questions like “Would you like to be my friend?” Now, it can’t record these anomalies, so someone needs to watch or record Boo at work.

Version 2 has some interesting upgrades. Its tummy light changes colors based on EMF, temperature or vibration/movement. This version uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery, and it can support multiple languages. All fantastic upgrades.

Concerns About BooBuddy v2

My main concern deals with no detailed measurement. You can’t really tell how big an EMF spike is: You can just see its tummy light turn red. The same goes with temperature change and motion. It’s a true/false type response. If Ghost Stop could make something like a data logger with it, I’d be in heaven.

The price is still hefty. It sells for about $400. Luckily, I had some Boo Bucks available as a reward for earlier purchases, so I redeemed those to lower the cost.

Long-time readers know how much I love Boo as a ghost hunting gadget. Adding a data logger to it would make for the ultimate ghost hunting version.

Solus Graphing Data Logger

Solus Graphing Data Logger Description

The Solus is a multi-sensor environmental logger that measures and records EMF, temperature, vibration, and displays it in real-time. It also records the data to an SD card. The main thing is that you can see anomalies in these environmental factors as they happen.

To be frank, it’s an EDI+ with a screen. However, Solus doesn’t track as many metrics, like humidity and air pressure, as the EDI+. But I gotta say that I’ve never met anyone ghost hunting that cared about humidity. Air pressure on the other hand … I’d want to know if it dips or increases when ghostly activity occurs.

Anyway, I like how it has visual and audio alerts to indicate a spike has happened.

Concerns About Solus

Dang! That price point is hefty! It sells for about $459. Like with Boo, I used some Boo Bucks to reduce the cost, but still. That’s airfare and a night at hotel for a ghost hunting trip.

My biggest concern deals with vibration measurement. You know people will hold this in their hands, which means the vibration measurement will be all over the place. You can’t turn off the sensors, but you can adjust their sensitivity. That may help reduce some false positives.

Tracer 2 Light Wire

Tracer 2 Light Wire Description

The Tracer 2 Light Wire (also called Tracerwire) visually maps motion (and temperature changes) across a light strip. Instead of just seeing light or hearing noise, the device uses a line of LED lights plus motion and temperature sensors to show where something moved along that wire-path. The light strip glows white and red to indicate movement. For cold, it turns blue. For heat, it turns purple. It also stays lit for about 15 seconds, then returns to sensing the area.

Concerns About Tracer 2 Light Wire

Well, my first one was craptastic. That means it was cheaply made, one side broke on first use, and the wire had bends that always set off the IR beam.

v2 has a completely different design. The casing is much studier, and the wire itself is wider and seems to be higher quality. We’ll see how this goes in the field. It sells for about $200, which stings, but it’s not as bad as that Solus price point.

Epoch Box

Epoch Box Description

Well, this gadget seems simple enough. Turn it on and wait for the Yes/No (or other closed questions) to start coming in. With Dave Schrader’s voice (you know, from The Holzer Files and other ghosty shows) to boot.

According to the maker, it uses environmental energy and a sophisticated algorithm to match a Yes/No response to your questions. It flashes green for Yes, and red for No. The Epoch Box also comes with a rechargeable battery, and … that’s about it.

Concerns About Epoch Box

So, I just dropped $240 on a gadget that’s pretty murky. You don’t really know what the environmental energies are. I’m thinking EMF, static electricity, heat, cold …??? Is it all just random responses?

That price is steep for Yes/No. Maybe I’m paying for Schrader’s voice?

Anyway, the Epoch Box will be put to use in British Columbia a little bit later this month.

As you can tell, I have an unhealthy relationship with Ghost Stop, but they tend to come out with new gear more often. And I just can’t wait to get my hands on gadgets. In fact, I get 2 more gadgets this weekend. I won’t spoil that here.

Anyway, I’ll review these gadgets while using them on the ghost hunt in BC later this month.

Disclaimer: Jake bought these gadgets with his own money, so there’s no expectation of a good review for the manufacturers.

Do you have any of these gadgets, or have you bought other gear? If so, let me know about it in the comments.

Thanks for reading Ghostly Activities. Much appreciated and take care!
