Are Ghosts Real? We Took A ‘Ghost Meter’ To Some Famously Haunted Locations To Find Out


If you’ve ever watched one of television’s many ghost hunting-themed reality shows, you’ve probably seen a cast member whip out his or her trusty EMF detector, a staple of the paranormal investigator’s toolbox.

EMF stands for electromagnetic field, and EMF meters are typically used todiagnose wiring issues and other electrical anomalies. The (shaky) rationale behind the use of these devices among paranormal enthusiasts is that the presence of a ghost is said to produce unusual spikes in their readings. Fancier models can retail forclose to $300—on the other end of the spectrum, you can download a free EMF-detecting app for your phone—but when we found the Ghost Meter EMF Sensoravailable for only $19.95 on Amazon, we couldn’t resist.

We took the ghost meter out for a test drive on 13 of New York City’s most infamously haunted locations, just in time for Halloween.
