Part three is here! We’ve explored spectral analysis on a vigil using a dedicated piece of portable kit; set up a Raspberry Pi; now we’re going to explore using a spectrum analyser on that Pi. Why? Well you were going to get a Pi anyway because you’ve been excited to learn more programming skills and continue your electronics engineering hobby. While not doing any soldering or programming today, you’ll be installing software and exploring it. Besides, if you already had the Pi, this can be cheaper than buying the Seesii spectrum analyzer [sic] that I bought (and that was the cheapest one they made).

I’m not going to bother picking a side in the debate as to what the ‘REM’ in ‘REM pod’ actually stands for. ‘Remote Electronic Monitoring’? ‘Radiating Electro-Magneticity’? Either way, it has something to do with electromagnetic fields. As ghost hunters claim that spirits will utilise and disturb electromagnetic fields (EMF) in order to ‘communicate’, you can see how this links up. If a ghost approaches the device, it will light up and make a sound. We’ve talked about this when we discussed the EMF meter.

Structured Light Scanners, or ‘SLS’ are something you may have seen ghost hunters use when looking for the ‘physical embodiment of spirits’. While they command a high price on the internet, the chances are, you can pick up the important pieces from eBay or a local charity shop for not much outlay. You just need to know what to look for, and how to hook up them up with the right software. You’ll be surprised just how easy this is. Firstly, what do we mean by ‘structured light’?
