Paranustyökalut

Paranustyökalut, a Finnish term, translates to "paranormal tools" or "paranormal equipment" in English. This refers to a range of devices and implements that individuals or groups use in their investigations of alleged paranormal phenomena. The purpose of these tools is typically to detect, record, or analyze unexplained occurrences that are not readily explained by conventional scientific understanding.

The types of paranustyökalut can vary widely. Some are adapted from scientific equipment, such as electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, which are used to detect fluctuations in electromagnetic radiation, believed by some to be associated with paranormal activity. Audio recording devices, like digital voice recorders, are employed to capture potential disembodied voices or unexplained sounds, often referred to as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). Video cameras, including infrared and night vision cameras, are used to document visual anomalies or figures in low-light conditions.

Other tools are more specialized and sometimes controversial. These might include devices designed to detect changes in temperature, such as thermal cameras, or equipment that attempts to measure atmospheric pressure or other environmental variables. Some investigators also use dowsing rods or pendulums, although these are often considered pseudoscientific. The interpretation and validity of data obtained from these tools are subjects of ongoing debate, with skeptics often attributing the readings to natural phenomena or psychological factors. Paranustyökalut are central to many popular depictions of ghost hunting and paranormal investigation.
