Equipment Inventory
Home  Info & Events Equipment
 ARPAST proudly maintains one of the largest and most comprehensive technical equipment inventories of any paranormal research
organization in the country. We believe that the proper utilization of technology provides the most scientifically valid data in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of anomalous phenomena.
While having such a wide range of equipment is important to cover any possible research need, the proper utilization is even more vital. To this end we conduct monthly training and refresher courses on the proper usage and interpretation of all equipment.
