Shop for Geophone Vibration Meters at SpiritShack! Geophone Vibration Meters are very effective tools for ghost hunting. Vibration meters are very sensitive and easy for ghosts to trigger. You will find they will be triggered much more often than the typical EMF meter or static sensor. We have simple geophone vibration sensors such as the flashing balls, tripwire and the white bear, which just have flashing lights when triggered. As well as more advanced pieces of equipment like the EDI+ and the Spirit Vibes which show vibration strength.
Pick Up On Vibrations
You can get three types of geophones/vibration meters: vertical geophones, horizontal geophones, and multi-component geophones. These devices all detect vibration within the earth.
Vibration meters for the paranormal realm work slightly differently. They are made to pick up small vibrations and movements. These show a spiritual presence or energy changes.
These devices are a crucial part of a paranormal investigator's toolkit. They're used when exploring haunted locations and communicating with the other side. Let's take a look at why these devices are so important for a ghost hunt.
How Do Geophone/Vibration Meters Work?
Geophone meters are used to measure vibration, or peak particle velocity, far beyond the scope of human perception. Entities are believed to release energy or cause disturbances in the atmosphere. These meters can detect vibrations from the paranormal world by monitoring them. The meters often have sensors that convert tiny movements into big signals, making them super useful.
Some important features of geophone vibration meters include:
Sensitivity dial for paranormal detection: These devices often have a sensitivity dial, so ghost hunters can finely tune the sensitivity to suit their environment. They can detect even the subtlest of vibrations linked to paranormal activity.
LED light bar: Many paranormal geophones have a built-in LED light bar. This bar changes colours to represent the strength of detected vibrations, offering a very quick vibration measurement.
Digital display: Some paranormal geophones feature a digital display that shows immediate readings or the total number of paranormal events detected. The display is often lit up for easy visibility while conducting investigations.
Audible alerts for activity: An audible speaker provides alerts when paranormal vibrations are detected. This feature ensures investigators are notified even if they aren't actively monitoring the displays.
USB-C port for charging equipment: With these devices, there’s no need to be concerned about your device's battery life. Paranormal geophones are equipped with a rechargeable battery and may include a USB-C port for charging. So, don't forget to bring along your power bank!
Paranormal geophone sensor: The geophone sensor is designed to have high sensitivity to paranormal vibrations and movements. It's inside the device to capture subtle energy changes associated with paranormal phenomena.
Compact and portable design: Paranormal geophones are designed to be compact and portable, this allows them to be placed easily during a ghost hunt. The design of different geophones prioritises how easy it is to use, and its adaptability to different environments.
Types Of Paranormal Readings
Deciphering the data from your geophone meter involves monitoring signals, vibrations, electronic noise, and the frequency range.
Ghost hunters should look at variations in the readings to link certain patterns to spirits or paranormal events. It's almost like translating a different language through a remote monitoring.
Geophone/vibration meters can be used in different ways during paranormal investigations, such as:
Single point reading: This is when you can direct the meter towards a specific location to see if there's any localised paranormal activity.
Movement patterns: You can study the patterns of vibrations over time to understand if there's a purposeful movement. This could potentially show intelligent paranormal interaction within the area.
Energy hotspots: This is where areas with heightened vibrations are considered potential energy hotspots and where paranormal entities might be concentrated.
Spirit communication: Some ghost hunters use the vibration monitor in conjunction with other equipment for spirit communication. It is believed that certain entities can manipulate the readings to respond to questions. For example, they could trigger the device to answer “yes” or move away from the device for “no”.
Taking Care Of Your Paranormal Geophone/Vibration Meters
Maintaining your paranormal toolkit is very important. Here are a few simple ways to always keep your geophone vibration meters in the best shape:
Protective storage: When not in use, store the geophone/vibration meter in a designated space that is considered to have neutral energy. Some ghost hunters also use protective cases, such as sacred cloths or pouches, to cover or wrap the equipment during storage.
Regular calibration: Check your device regularly and ensure that its sensitivity is working as it should. Remember, it should be able to detect the dominant frequency of vibrations.
Types Of Geophone Meters
There are quite a lot of vibration monitoring devices in the market, but it is up to you to choose the one that will suit you and your investigations the best. We've compiled a list of a few that we think might be up your alley.
EDI+ Meter and Data Logger
The EDI+ Meter is so much more than just a vibration monitor. It has been specifically designed to measure and track EMF, temperature, humidity, vibration, and air pressure around you, all while data logging.
It's the ideal solution for paranormal investigators. This device is good for picking up the frequency range in the environment. You can also see the information it collects displayed on graphs and logs. This makes it really easy to analyse your data once you have completed your investigation.
Footstep Tracker 2: Geophone Vibration Meter
The Footstep Tracker comes with a super-sensitive geophone. It can pick up footsteps, movements, loud sounds, and vibrations, even from a distance.
There's a dial to adjust the sensitivity of the vibration levels, so you can decide how much movement is needed to set off the vibration sensor. It's compact and sleek, so you can place it on the floor, stairs, or a table. The light bar around it is visible from all sides, making it easy to see when it detects vibrations.
This geophone uses the same advanced parts that are often found in earthquake and underground activity detection equipment. It can also pick up on people moving nearby, so make sure your ghost hunting partners aren't accidentally setting it off!
Para4ce Quad
Instead of lugging around four different meters, the Para4ce Quad has merged multiple tools into one convenient gadget. With this device, you're able to capture multiple paranormal events at the same time.
Each sensor operates independently, allowing you to toggle them on and off individually. You can use all the sensors together or just pick one or two. Mix and match them based on where you are and what you need. This grants you the capability to track things like EMF and temperature concurrently.
Other Paranormal Devices
If you're looking for something simpler to use, or you wish to dabble in the art of divination, here are a few other paranormal devices you can explore. We suggest using multiple devices and tools to enhance your overall investigation. This could mean using the likes of:
Final Thoughts
Geophone/vibration meters open doors to a world where vibrations become messages and energies speak volumes. Add these handy devices to your ghost hunting toolkit to ensure that no vibration goes undetected.
Every vibration carries a message, whether it's an important one or not, is for you to interpret and decode.
What is a geophone?
A geophone is a device which converts ground movement into voltage, so the level of vibration can be measured. Traditional geophones have a spike which you stick into the ground and have an analogue display. Modern geophones have a digital display and don’t have the spike and can just be placed on the ground.
How does a geophone work?
A geophone contains a coil of wire, wrapped, and suspended above a magnet. As the mass of wire moves, it sends voltage through the coil of wire to a voltage meter. So vibrations can be detected and displayed as a voltage.
How to make a geophone
To create a geophone, you need to suspend a coil of wire above a magnet. The ends of the wire should be connected to a voltmeter. When vibrations occur, the coiled wire will move over the magnet, generating voltage along the wires that can be measured using the voltmeter.
What is a geophone used for?
A geophone is used to measure vibration. Most commonly, it is used to measure seismic activity from the earth. And the spike probe is stuck into the ground. There are geophones for other purposes such as ghost hunting, which again, detect vibrations in the environment.
How much does a geophone cost?
Geophones start at around £80 in the UK. You can pay hundreds for more advanced models with a digital display.
