D.A.P.R.S.

Equipment is a very important aspect if one wishes to capture documented proof of an encounter with the paranormal. Below is a short list followed by a more detailed list for the beginning investigator. This first list entails every item I make a requirement to our group. Every person or team MUST have these items on them at all times. The secondary list is full of great equipment for ghost hunting, though not required by Dayton Area Paranormal Research Society (DAPRS), we do ask that you pick one or two to invest in for your own personal benefit (Birthdays/Holidays come in real handy here). And finally list three is chock full of extras you can bring to help in our investigations. We will already have most of these items, but a few more can’t hurt.

LIST ONE: (must haves)

Notebook & Pen/Pencil

Flashlight

Batteries

Watch/Clock

Compass (DAPRS provides one to each team)
