Controversial Practices - IR Themometers
Controversial Practices - IR Themometers?
Its another piece of kit in every Ghost Hunters tool case. An essential piece of equipment on most investigations. Something we have all had the priveledge of using. The IR Themometer.
Do they do what we want them to do? The purpose of this type of Themometer is of course to provide an instant temperature reading in the direction we point it. Indicating a cold spot in a room where something paranormal happens. A question sprung to mind..How effective are they?. Apparently IR Themometers cannot detect something without a visible surface for them to 'read'. Basically they work like eyes, they see temperatures on a surface whilst eyes see colours on a surface. If the Themometer can see something, it can measure it. So on that basis you probably stand more chance of seeing the hazy apparition in the middle of the room with your own eyes than see a temp drop through the IR Themometer? (will be firing off the wall instead!)
Therefore perhaps its always advisable to take a standard Themometer along too!
