Click here to go to the Article Castle Ghost Hunt—Read the Full Article and see some ghosts! We have multiple articles on this location. It’s a Milky Way photography spot and a ghost hunting spot. It’s a shame they now have so much security, including patrols and cameras. We no longer suggest going here. They even blocked the paths on the extremely steep incline.
WHEN TO GO TO DUNDAS CASTLE:
Any time is sufficient, but traditionally, the best results have been documented after 9 p.m. But again, we don’t advise going here. Also, there are many holes in the ground around the outside of the castle where you can easily get hurt in the dark. It’s extremely haunted but dangerous, let alone the cameras and security. Instead, we suggest you do Milky Way photography in Roscoe, New York.
CAMERAS:
A basic DSLR Can be used for night photography but cannot see in absolute darkness. You must bring a light source of some kind for focusing and lighting.
FULL SPECTRUM DIGITAL CAMERA:
This camera takes quality Full-Spectrum photos and video. It has been professionally modified to accept deeper Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) light, allowing pictures to penetrate the usually unseen light spectrum. It features an easy-to-use interface with plenty of features to make your job easier and capture evidence more effectively.
As with all cameras, this is best used with an external light source such as UV, IR, or Full-Spectrum (white) light.
INFRA RED (IR) DIGITAL CAMERA:
Takes quality IR photos and video with the convenience and ease of a compact digital camera
CAMERA SETTINGS:
For basic DSLR photography, our goal is capturing activity, not high-quality images so that we will do a few things a little out of the ordinary. You cannot shoot a DSLR in total darkness. You will need light sources like a flashlight, church lights, or a full moon. You can go much higher on your ISO when ghost hunting, but the higher you go, the more grain you will get. Again, it’s not always about avoiding grain or digital noise here since it differs from regular photography, where grain is not our friend. See below for specifics on how to set up your camera.
EMF METERS:
Measure fluctuations in electromagnet fields (or EM fields). These fields are a direct result of electrical appliances in a home, cell phones, power lines outside, and even solar activity and weather fluctuations. Beyond that, a primary theory in the paranormal world is that entities can manipulate these fields to manifest themselves or interact with our world. When your meter goes off, do a long exposure on your tripod.
A DSLR CAMERA:
It can be used for Ghost Hunting Photography but cannot completely see in the dark. You can use a red light to illuminate the area or bring a flashlight for focusing, and you can quickly obtain apparitions in your photos if you can stand the insidious invasion of the paranormal.
DSLR CAMERA LENS:
This is a wide-angle lens event, but you ideally need a lens with an open aperture, such as 2.8 or below. The higher-end cameras will allow you to go to a very high ISO with less noise, so they are ideal. If you don’t have a high camera, any camera will do. After all, we are not going for super high-quality images here. We are going for a lot of paranormal activity that we can document. As long as we get evidence, it doesn’t always have to look pretty. Some of our lower-end camera images above are grain-filled, but we got what we were after.
GHOST HUNTING CAMERA SETTINGS
For basic DSLR Photography, our goal is to capture activity, which is not necessarily consistently super high quality so that we will do a few things a little out of the ordinary.
FOCUSING IN THE DARK:
Now you are set. If you do not have enough light or your camera will not focus, take a flashlight and light up a single subject in the picture. (Don’t blast light all over; you will disturb who you are there to find.) Put the focus point where the camera will focus on the area you have lit up. When you see the camera has obtained focus and the two-second timer starts, turn your flashlight off quickly before the exposure begins. The camera will now take the shot. Set your camera to manual focus without touching the focus ring. Take several pictures without moving your camera. You must refocus the same way every time you do different shots.
Another way to focus on darker areas is to turn on the live view. Hit your zoom button and zoom in on something lit. Expose your image. When you zoom in, the camera can see it better to grab focus. This only works if you have enough light.
HERE ARE A FEW BASIC GHOST HUNTING TERMS:
Entrance Fees: There aren’t any entrance fees. But there are off-duty patrols and security cameras. They have taken steps to stop people from going into the castle. Don’t worry—we know the gatekeeper, and someday we will buy the castle so we can offer ghost hunting weekends in our bed and breakfast. IF ONLY!! Let’s manifest it.
