Infra-Red Night Vision Camcorder for Paranormal Investigation

Does even thinking about anything related to the paranormal send you running in the opposite direction? Or are you like the millions of people who can’t get enough of everything relation to the paranormal? People claim to have seen ghosts in just about every country in the world. If you’re one of the many who want to record not only what you’ve seen but also what you’ve heard, then you’ll need an infra-red night vision camcorder.  

Most people interested in filming the paranormal relied on Sony brands to fill their needs; however Sony (as of this writing) has decided to discontinue their infra-red night vision camcorders. Other manufacturers are currently trying to fill the void so some research will have to be done to find the best brand. Also some manufacturers have developed an infra-red filter that can be used on almost all night vision camcorders so this is a great alternative; you can purchase a night vision camcorder that isn’t equipped with infra-red and then also purchase an infra-red filter. There are a lot of used infra-red night vision camcorders that can be bought on auction sites like eBay and they will probably be in high demand for quite some time.  

Infra-red light is invisible to the human eye so it will not affect your night vision in any way. Infra-red light works so well when searching out the paranormal because colors seen in IR can be vastly different from visible light. For example, if something appears black in visible light, it will be bright white in infra-red. There are a few draw backs to using a night vision camcorder equipped with infra-red or an infra-red filter. It is very hard to illuminate a large area and they are sensitive to small particles like dust and pollen. However, the good news is that if you’re searching for the paranormal, nothing will work better than an infra-red night vision camcorder, even with its few flaws. Investigators feel that ghosts move quickly and whatever ghosts are composed of, it is more sensitive to reflecting infra-red light.
