Plenty of ghost hunting gear is ordinary electronics with a spooky label and a higher price. These guides help you work out what is worth buying: cameras for low light, the real differences between night vision, infrared and thermal, 360-degree rigs, and what you can do with the phone you already own. App comparisons are here too. Where a recommendation is based on published specifications rather than hands-on testing, the guide says so.
