Other Basic Equipment

Notepads / Sketch paper / Pens, pencils etc
For recording as much information as possible.

Chalk
For marking anything that may need identifying. Also for marking around furniture in the same way as trigger objects.

Compass
To determine positions, locating magnetic forces, etc or if venturing outside (e.g. onto a moor) for use with a map for directions.

Flour
If you place a light coating of flour on surfaces (do not make a mess in other people's property!) where paranormal activity has apparently occurred the flour may get disturbed.

String, cotton, tape
To secure areas; and for identifying if people have been entering areas.

Tape measure
To measure places and record distances for a plan and to maybe pinpoint exact spots here activity may occur.

Watch
A reliable one - as time keeping is essential both for recording the time of activity but also to synchronise with other investigators to see if multiple witnesses are aware of the same activity at the same time.

Torch
Essential for safety (in the dark).

Comfortable shoes and warm clothing
Self explanatory - you are often in cold and uneven areas.

Refreshments
To keep you going during the investigation.

Medicines / First Aid kit
Essential!
