River Cities Paranormal Society | Wisconsin Ghost Hunters

Equipment and Technology

RCPS utilizes the latest in modern technology and gear. Our members learn about each piece of technology through research, logic, and training. We carefully select and test our equipment by putting it through a battery of rigorous testing

Below is a small example of the type of equipment we use to investigate paranormal activity:

This technology is set up in the locations we investigate and cameras are attached to light weight tri-pod stands. We never tape down our cameras to furniture or walls. These cameras can see in total darkness and do so with ample clarity. We review the footage later for unexpected anomalies

Photography and Video
A vast selection of different types of photography devices are used. From standard digital to full spectrum, deep infrared, and HD technologies from ModiTronic. We also incorporate video technologies from Sony including Nightshot.

World class industry standard audio recording is employed during the investigation in attempt of capturing high end Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). We can also capture disembodied sounds and voices that can be played back during evidence review for analization to determine what might be creating these sounds naturally. We may also be able to determine exatcly by pinpoint accuracy, where in the location, that sounds are coming from.

Other types of handheld voice recorders are used by RCPS for question and answer EVP sessions where paranormal activity has been reported. Different types of recorders are used by various members of the team.

Team members use a variety of EMF meters to detect stray voltages. Many times, high amounts of unsafe fields will be present in locations resulting in undesirable effects to those present. There is also a theory which claims that ghosts will cause these types of meters to fluctuate.

Negative Ion Generators
There is discussions in paranormal research of hauntings, that negative ions may increase the chances of paranormal activity. Some documentation states that before and during a thunderstorm, ions in the local atmosphere elevate, which might allow for the witnessing of manifistated paranormal activity.

Flashlight Communication
Although we use flashlights for navigating ourselves in the dark. another use as of late is taking the paranormal community by storm. We have been asking questions and having some very interesting responses from the non manipulated flashlights in the form of responses. This has not proven the actual existence of ghosts or spirits. View our video of this experiment in progress.

In The Press
RCPS has been featured on television, radio, and print publications throughout Wisconsin, United States, and the world.

Paranormal Evidence
Upon request, we do keep locations confidential. We do however, present any evidence captured to the public. Here are a few examples of what we consider "paranormal activity".

� May 28, 2006 - Wisconsin Rapids - Bar and Grill A canned blacklight used for illuminating our video cameras is physically manipulated while simultaneously taking a photograph with a digital camera. The blacklight was clamped into place and was inspected before the investigation began.

Video evidence is highly rare.
