- An amateur ghost-busting kit for householders who suspect
their home might be haunted is being tested prior to possible full-scale
production, it emerged today.
-
- The kit includes various instruments designed to help
catch the paranormal presence.
-
- It can also be linked to the internet, allowing homeowners
to keep an eye out for ghostly goings-on while away from home.
-
- Cable company Telewest Broadband has worked with a group
of specialists in paranormal investigations to put together the kit, which
is currently undergoing tests.
-
- It includes motion and humidity detectors, a temperature
monitor and electromagnetic meter to spot subtle changes in the room which
could show a ghost is present.
-
- A webcam connected to a computer automatically starts
filming the room if any of the detectors are triggered.
-
- Absent homeowners can check whether any abnormal activity
has been reordered by connecting via a broadband internet connection.
-
- Telewest Broadband said the kit would cost in the region
of £150, including the monthly internet connection, if it went into
production.
-
- Chad Raube, director of internet services at Telewest
Broadband, said: "The meeting of ghost hunting and modern technology
is a fascinating combination."
-
- "We are always looking at ways to bring the possibilities
of broadband to life, and this fairly inexpensive kit could allow paranormal
enthusiasts to join in at home."
