Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Ghost Meter has been calibrated to ignore the extremely subtle EMF emissions surrounding the human body, yet is still sensitive enough to detect the small, distinct, erratic EMF energy fluctuations frequently found at reputed haunted locations. The Ghost Meter provides three corroborating indicators of EMF emission strength. A needle based display, LED lights, and an adjustable audio signal. The response time of this meter is excellent, easily outperforming more expensive EMF meters. It can also be operated in silent mode so it doesn't interfere with EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recordings or distract other investigators during an investigation. Compare the value this meter offers compared to other brands. There is no other offer that comes close to providing these levels of features and performance for the price. You've seen television ghost hunters use similar detectors. Now you can get your own and start investigating the unknown.
Please note: this product is intended to measure electric fields, and does not detect nuclear radiation.

PROS: (1) The case is made of clear plastic which allows me to see any developing corrosion or battery leaks, and it appears to be quite durable with a solid feel to it. (2) It is equiped with a constant Push On/Push Off button. (3) It is equiped with a dial meter with a sweep hand and scale that measures from 0-5 milligaus: 0-1 milligaus (Green), 1-2 milliguas (Yellow), 2-5 milligaus (Red). (4) There is an alarm feature with twin flashing red lights and audible "beeps" when readings are in the 2-5 milligaus Red range. These signals go faster as the readings go higher. (5) There is a recessed thumb-wheel volume control to lower or turn off the audio "beep" alert.
CONS: (1) My unit did not come with user's instructions. So, it took me trial and error before I finally figured out that the thumb wheel was used for volume control of the alert signal. (2) I am not into Ghost hunting; therefore, a brief explanation about the significance of the milligaus readings in the Red range (danger) would have lent more validation to the unit. (3) The meter scale is not illuminated so an additional light source is needed if exact milligaus readings from the meter's scale is required in the dark.
USAGE: I found EMF hot spots at my computer station (5 milligaus at 12 inches away, 1 milligaus at 3ft. away) and at my flourescent worklight with magnifying glass (5+ milligaus at 3 inches away. That's how close I've had my face to it while peering through the magnifier for hours at a time! Yikes!) The usual EMF reading in my home is 0-1 milligaus; however, during peak usage hours (5-10PM) the readings go up to 3-4 milligaus! This is due to the high voltage power lines that run past my home about 100 ft. away--that was definitely a surprise and something that requires some research. THE NEXT TEST: My precious grandchildren's cell phones--Oh my goodness! I am glad to have this meter.
Pros:
The Cost
Ease of Use
The red indicator
False Positives
The On/Off Switch
First and foremost, the cost of this device at roughly $20 is nothing compared to the $100 average of most EMF detectors. For someone interested in the paranormal but doesn't have the financial backing of a professional team, this device is perfect for you. The ease of use also is a contributing factor when it comes to new investigators to the paranormal. There are no advanced settings, complicated numbers, or button combinations necessary to get this device working. Press On and it starts working right away. The red indicator on the top of the device is handy for a few different things, but the best use of this light is for a stationary EMF meter with a camera fixed on it. Simply place the meter in a room or hallway with a camera pointing at it and anything spiritual that passed by it will illuminate the meter which is easily seen on your video playback. False positives are actually extremely easy to produce with some of these meter, but the Ghost Meter doesn't seem to have that problem. Like most digital number driven meters, simply shaking the device will cause the digital meter to show elevated EMFs and potentially fake evidence. Why would you shake an EMF meter you ask? What do you think happens to it while you're walking around? Multiple different meters found to be marketed to paranormal teams have this fault where walking with the device can trigger an elevated reading. The Ghost Meter's needle may bounce while walking with it, but the red light doesn't flash even if the needle goes beyond the green. Only an EMF will cause the red indicator to go off, something that sets this device apart from the others. Lastly, the on/off switch is one of the better switches when it comes to EMF meters. Unlike the K2 with a loose switch, the Ghost Meter's switch cannot be manipulated to produce false positives and requests you to intentionally press it to turn it on/off.
Cons:
The battery
The needle
The battery used in this device is a 9v, and while a lot of people don't consider that a bad thing there are a large number that do. 75% of equipment used by paranormal investigators used AA batteries and a very small amount use AAA. While a 9v battery does last longer than the average AA battery (or like most equipment x2 AA batteries), the cost of purchasing multiple 9v batteries over buying AA batteries in bulk can inconvenience new paranormal investigators. Lastly, the needle on the Ghost Meter isn't the greatest as detecting small changes in the surrounding EMF. While digital devices can tell you when a 0.5 increase occurs, the Ghost Meter will only tell you when the EMFs reach 1 through the red indicator. Anything under 1 and precisely over 1 is up to the investigator and their flashlight to determine. The reason a flashlight is needed is because the needle and numbers on the display lack the necessary lighting to be able to read them. You can slightly make out the position of the needle through the light emitted from the On/Off button but that is only because the housing is a clear plastic and it isn't very reliable.
All in all, I rated this device a 4 because for the money it can't be beat. Is there better you there? Of course, but if you want the best equipment you're going to pay for the best equipment. This device has a long history of successfully capturing evidence with it and continues to be the official EMF meter of most teams.
