Hi hodie,
It's nice to meet you, welcome to Spiritkeep!
I sure hope you can find someone willing to go ghost hunting with you as it can be dangerous to go it alone. If you ever get hurt there is noone there to help you, and sadly there is always a chance of running into individuals who do not fit the description of upstanding citizens. Plus should you experience something unusual you want others there with you. Another may note something you don't that can attribute a natural cause to what was seen/heard etc, and of course two or more ppl witnessing the same thing where a natural cause could not be found can be validating for all involved.
Good luck and I hope you are able to obtain some of the equipment you would like in the near future. Feel free to share your experineces in the appropriate forums, would love to hear more about them. =)
Enjoy, Cat
