Equipment reviews are never easy. Depending on the requirements of the individual user, an item needs to suit the needs, experience, knowledge and in this case, the necessary basic essentials of environmental monitoring.

The Ghost meter is probably the cheapest EMF meter available in the UK market. But remember, just cos its cheap, doesn’t make it a worthwhile commodity. If you are serious about the subject I’d look at the higher priced meters available at the site.

This aside, for anybody with a basic knowledge of electromagnetic fields, which most people in the subject don’t, then the ‘ Ghost Meter ‘ is a useful tool.

An easy to read scale offers a decent none digital readout, along with a lighted area which, when measuring fluctuations in the field, offers a constant red flashing. A volume control gives a sound level for a warble, again activated by EMF fluctuations. Mostly this, I set to off, as it annoyed me. Still for the hard of hearing, or if situated in a sealed area, this can give notification to the user.

The meter itself is useful. I was able to tell if my kettle was on, and other obvious, noticeable EM fields. This is a good thing, to the opposite, unobvious EMF’s are virtually undetectable.

Don’t be deceived by the Ghost meter name, if ghosts exist, they do not emit EMF, nor are they likely to disrupt a known EM field. The EMF is however, likely to affect an individual directly, causing possible paranormal like effects to be reported. ‘The Ghost Meter’ offers a first step into recognising high localised EMF, and at its cheap price is a user friendly way of monitoring the environment, if on a strict budget, or before acquiring a superior meter to achieve enhanced results.

The ghost meter may be just what the hobbying paranormal enthusiast who is on a budget has been waiting for. If they want to look foolish and chase around after their mobile phone signal. If you are serious, save up lots of money and buy a Tri-field meter, Then ask somebody who actually knows what they are doing, to teach you how to use it.
