THE PARANORMIC FIELD GUIDE
A little guidance. A lot to explore.
Get to know your gear, follow along with a video, and head into your next session with a plan. Start with your Spirit Box or jump to Dowsing Rods.
Get to know your Spirit Box.
New out of the box? Start with the walkthrough. Keep your device nearby and pause as you go.
Your Spirit Box, step by step
Kyle Hart from Hauntings of Ohio walks through the controls, shows a sweep, and takes the Spirit Box into the field.

Get your device ready
Remove the protective battery strip if fitted. Fully charge your Spirit Box using the supplied charging cable before your first session.
Listen to your first sweep
Slide the power switch on and press SCAN. Start with the volume low, then adjust it to a comfortable level. The changing radio sounds are part of the sweep.
Make space to listen
Choose a quiet spot. Ask one clear question at a time and leave a pause. If you plan to record, check that your microSD card is fitted first.
A few things you might be wondering
Why am I hearing static and bits of radio?
The Spirit Box sweeps through radio frequencies. Static and short pieces of broadcasts are expected. A sound on its own does not tell you where it came from.
Do I need the microSD card to use it?
You can use the radio sweep without a card. A microSD card is needed to save recordings and listen to them later.
The video looks different from my kit. Is that normal?
The walkthrough shows an earlier 32GB kit with four sweep speeds. Card capacity and available modes can vary by version. UK units do not have Bluetooth. Use the details supplied with your own order, and contact us if you need help identifying your version.
My recordings are missing or stop too soon.
First check that a microSD card is fitted and has free space. Switch the device off before reseating it, then restart and try a short test recording. If the problem continues, contact us with your card capacity and what the screen shows. Back up any files before formatting a card.
Find your feel for the rods.
Start with a relaxed grip and a little room to move. The guide covers your rods, pendulum and answer board.

How should I hold the rods?
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold one rod lightly in each hand, keep your arms relaxed, and leave room for the rods to move freely.
How do I use the pendulum and answer board?
Hold the pendulum above the wooden board with a steady hand. Ask one clear, specific question and observe the direction of the swing. The manual explains the markings. Treat this as an exploration practice; do not rely on dowsing alone for critical decisions.
How do I care for my kit?
Wipe the copper rods with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Put your kit back in its protective storage when you are done.
