25 Years of Ghost Hunting Equipment
Celebrating a Quarter Century of the Paranormal with Ghost Hunters Equipment
For 25 years, Ghost Hunters Equipment by GHOST AUGUSTINE has been helping paranormal investigators, curious beginners, and lifelong believers explore the unknown with trusted ghost hunting equipment. What started in 2001 as a small paranormal shop in historic St. Augustine, Florida has grown into one of the most recognized names in the paranormal community.
As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported us through the years-from first-time ghost tour guests to experienced investigators who have trusted our equipment on countless paranormal investigations.
A Paranormal Store Built by Paranormal Investigators
Back in 2001, paranormal investigation was very different than it is today. There were no endless online ghost hunting stores, no viral paranormal videos, and very little mainstream attention focused on ghost hunting equipment.
That’s where we came in.
Founded in the haunted city of St. Augustine, Florida, Ghost Hunters Equipment became the earliest dedicated paranormal equipment stores in the country, possibly the world. Alongside our ghost tours and investigations, we focused on bringing reliable ghost hunting equipment directly to investigators who were serious about exploring the paranormal.
Over the years, we’ve had the honor of helping thousands of investigators build their paranormal kits with equipment ranging from EMF meters and spirit boxes to thermal cameras, motion sensors, and specialty paranormal devices featured on major television shows.
The Story of the Authentic K2 Meter
When people think about ghost hunting equipment, one device almost always comes to mind first: the K2 meter.
What many paranormal investigators may not realize is that Ghost Hunters Equipment helped pioneer the use of the Authentic K2 Meter in paranormal research long before it became famous on television.
In the early 2000s, the K-II EMF Meter was originally designed as a general EMF safety meter, not a paranormal investigation tool. Founder Jonas Brihammar recognized its unique responsiveness and potential for paranormal research and began introducing it to investigators and paranormal tours in St. Augustine.
As paranormal investigations continued, investigators noticed frequent correlations between unexplained experiences and sudden EMF spikes detected by the K2. The meter quickly gained popularity among investigators because it was:
Easy to use in dark environments
Extremely responsive to sudden EMF changes
Durable and reliable
Affordable for beginners and professionals alike
Eventually, the K2 meter caught the attention of the paranormal television world. In 2007, it appeared on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters during the famous Sharon Tate house investigation, where the device appeared to intelligently respond to questions asked by investigators Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. After that episode aired, the K2 meter exploded in popularity and became one of the most iconic tools in paranormal research history.
Today, the K2 remains one of the most recognized pieces of ghost hunting equipment in the world.
The Next Evolution of the K2: Meet the X5
As much as the paranormal community loves the Authentic K2 Meter, many investigators were disappointed to learn that the original manufacturer of the K2 eventually went out of business. For years, the K2 had become one of the most trusted and recognizable pieces of ghost hunting equipment in the world, and investigators everywhere wondered what could possibly replace it.
That’s where the X5 comes in.
The X5 was designed as the true next evolution of the K2 -built specifically for paranormal investigators who wanted the same fast response, trusted performance, and familiar feel that made the original K2 legendary in ghost hunting.
What makes the X5 especially exciting is that it was developed using the same exact trusted core components and response characteristics that investigators loved about the Authentic K2 Meter. This wasn’t about reinventing paranormal investigation tools just for the sake of change. It was about preserving what worked while improving the experience for modern ghost hunters.
The result is a device that feels instantly familiar to longtime investigators while delivering the reliability and consistency today’s paranormal teams expect from professional ghost hunting equipment.
For investigators who spent years relying on the K2 during haunted explorations, the X5 carries on that legacy while pushing it forward into the future.
The paranormal field continues to evolve, and so does the equipment we use. The X5 represents the continuation of one of the most important tools in paranormal investigation history -not as a replacement for the K2’s legacy, but as its successor.
For many investigators, the X5 is more than just another EMF meter. It’s the next chapter in the story of paranormal research.
Why Authentic Equipment Matters
Over the years, we’ve also seen the rise of counterfeit paranormal equipment online-especially fake K2 meters that imitate the real product but deliver unreliable readings and poor build quality.
That’s why we’ve always remained committed to offering authentic ghost hunting equipment that investigators can trust.
For us, paranormal investigation has never been about gimmicks. It’s about using dependable tools, asking questions, exploring haunted locations, and having meaningful experiences with fellow investigators.
Whether you’re using a K2 meter, spirit box, thermal camera, or motion detection device, reliable equipment makes a difference during an investigation.
25 Years Later-The Adventure Continues
It’s incredible to look back on how much the paranormal field has grown over the past 25 years.
We’ve watched ghost hunting evolve from a niche hobby into a worldwide community filled with investigators, researchers, content creators, paranormal teams, and curious newcomers eager to explore haunted places and unexplained phenomena.
Through it all, Ghost Hunters Equipment has remained committed to providing quality ghost hunting equipment while staying true to the spirit of exploration that started it all back in 2001.
