A Creepy Ghost Detector
A paranormal music box (PMB) is the motion detector you didn't know you needed, but now can't ghost-hunt without. SpiritShack offers ghost hunting equipment in the form of a classic vintage musical box.
Not sure if it was just the breeze that blew the door shut or an angry spirit slamming it? With this advanced piece of technology, you'll be able to figure out the source of movement in no time.
A PMB is what you get when high-tech meets haunted jukebox. These devices produce remarkable results while simultaneously jazzing up your investigation into the paranormal world.
For example, the sleek, handcrafted wooden coffin design of the Para4ce PMB will make it the most alluring-looking tool to take with you on ghost adventures. This musical box doesn't just look ominous, but also plays creepy music when triggered.
Different Ways A Music Box Detects Motion
Various types of motion detection devices are available at various prices. To interpret the results accurately, you need to understand the science behind the spookiness of the trigger object.
Let's delve into each type of motion detector, what movement it can detect and what exactly its sensor will be triggered by.
1. PIR (passive infrared) detection
The most affordable paranormal music box on SpiritShack makes use of infrared technology to alert ghost hunters of nearby spirits by playing a creepy tune. Some models, like the Ghostly Music Box, even combine PIR detection with standard motion detection. When you see the red light and hear the paranormal music, you know movement has been detected.
How it works:
You know when you feel the heat radiating from a warm cup of coffee? Well, infrared technology can "see" that heat. When something warm (like people or spirits) moves, it will disrupt the infrared pattern. Once the musical box is triggered, it will alert the ghost hunter by playing creepy music or activating a light.
Remember: These sensors are sensitive. Anything warm can set off the haunting tune, even a bird flying past the PIR sensor. Be aware of all the possibilities before jumping to the conclusion of paranormal activity.
2. Ultrasound motion detection
These ghostly high-tech gadgets won't break the bank, but they certainly don't come cheap either. The Para4ce PMB POLTERTUNE is praised for its lightweight design and portability, making it a favourite among SpiritShack customers.
Ultrasound technology is used to detect movements that could be from the paranormal world. This motion detector is a more compact version of its older, big brother, the Para4ce PMB Paranormal Music Box.
If there's something to be found in the shadows, paranormal music will alert you.
How it works:
Some animals like bats and whales are known to communicate by sending out "sounds" that humans can't hear. That's how an ultrasound motion detector works. Your musical box will send out high-pitched sound frequencies. The spirit world can then interact with these sound ripples, triggering the musical box and alerting the ghost hunters.
How To Ghost Hunt With A Paranormal Music Box
Despite what you might think when you see a musical box categorised as ghost hunting equipment, you won't be serenading the spirits.
The paranormal music these devices play serves as an alert that means the motion detector on the box has been triggered by possible ghosts. What makes it an especially nifty piece of hunting equipment is the potential for communication.
How to use a PMB effectively
Mastering your music box is a great place to start. Once you've practised using it and understand all the features, you're ready for the next step.
Decide on a new location and assemble an eager ghost-hunting squad to embark on this investigation.
Set up your musical box in an area that has been reported to have unknown signs of movement, this could be an indication of spirits.
You want to remove any possible environmental interferences to get the most accurate reading possible. The sensors are sensitive to light, draughts, or temperature changes. Even moving background objects can trigger a false alarm.
Pay attention to the small details and listen to the tempo of the paranormal music. If the songs play at a faster or slower pace, the spirits are possibly trying to communicate through the musical box.
Harmonise your PMB with other ghost hunting equipment. The best equipment to use along with your musical box includes:
K2 Meter: In case your musical box misses anything, this classic tool detects electromagnetic field (EMF) fluctuations, potentially indicating paranormal activity.
Thermal imaging camera: This tool detects temperature changes, potentially revealing cold spots or ghostly apparitions that might not trigger the music box. It can also offer visual evidence of the ghost.
EVP recorder: Catch even the faintest whisper that you can re-play and cross-reference with other evidence your PMB collected.
Document everything that's happening, so you can analyse the results afterwards.
Benefits Of Using A Classic Vintage Music Box
Unique tools for communication: A musical box offers an enchanting new way to interact with spirits beyond the usual yes/no questions. The variety of melodies and tones can provide different responses, adding another layer of eeriness to the ghost-hunting adventure.
Introduces a symphony of mystery: The music itself can create a mysterious and captivating atmosphere, enhancing the thrill of the chase.
Documents the details: Some music boxes record responses or offer visual cues. You need to document them to analyse later on.
What spooky spirits will it attract?
The more musically inclined spirits might be more drawn to a music box. Additionally, the playful aspect of the music can even appeal to younger ghosts.
Communicating through paranormal music adds an element of fun to the process.
How to communicate with spirits
An important part of communicating using music boxes is by paying attention to the music. Do specific melodies trigger more often in certain locations or during questions? Some see repeated melodies as potential spirit communication.
You can also use a PMB as a trigger object for yes and no questions.
For example: Ask the ghosts to trigger the device for a "yes" response.
Final Thoughts On Melodies From Beyond
A paranormal music box can add an eerie twist to any investigation by turning distant whispers into creepy tunes. This motion detector that can alert ghost hunters of spirits that might be lurking around the corner is a game changer.
Of course, a musical motion detector won't completely unravel all the spooky stories, but it's an important piece of the puzzle. Along with other pieces of ghost hunting equipment, you're closer to pinpointing the source of paranormal activity.
Spice up your collection of spooky hunting equipment, and ghost hunt to the beat of catchy paranormal music.
What is a paranormal music box?
It's a mechanical musical box which is triggered by motion. It's known as the PMB for short and is a tool for ghost hunters. It comes with a PIR motion sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. Its purpose is to detect the movement of humans, animals, objects and ghosts. Once triggered, a tune will play from the music box. The creepy song is accompanied by a light which triggers.
How does the paranormal music box work?
The musical box is triggered by motion. The motions are detected using a PIR motion or ultrasonic sensor. The basic models use a PIR sensor, while the high-end models use ultrasound.
Can using a PMB be dangerous?
Using it to detect spirits is as unsafe as using an Ouija board. Using the music box, you reach out to the spirit world. By reaching out, you are opening a door, in other words. Once opened, anything can come through, including negative spirits.
Where can I buy the PMB?
We sell paranormal music boxes right here at SpiritShack. We have basic models which use PIR sensors to detect motion. And we have higher-end models with ultrasound sensors.
How can I communicate with spirits through a PMB?
The purpose of the musical box is not to talk with spirits. Its purpose it to help you to detect them. You may be better off with a spirit box if you want to communicate. Or the EVP recorder will make for a good choice.
