Best Father's Day Gifts for a Paranormal Lover

Updated: May 22

May celebrates mom and June celebrates the dads. But what do you get that father who is more likely to stand in a cemetery in the middle of the night rather than standing in the middle of BBQ smoke from the grill? Great question! Glad you asked.

So, the pressure is on! What are the best Father's Day gifts for a paranormal lover who is also a dad?

Here are my favorites for the fathers and dads out there who love spooky ghost stories, ghost hunting, and chasing after Cryptids. Enjoy and happy shopping! ~Dez

Below are the Best Father's Day Gifts for the Paranormal Lover Dad

For the Ghost Hunting Dad

EMF Readers

EMF Readers detect fields of electromagnetic energy and we associate this field of energy with paranormal anomalies. Yes, there is a bit more to that but check out my other blogs on how to ghost hunt to learn more. For now, just know that every ghost hunter uses an EMF reader to hunt the ghosts.

Not all EMF Readers have the same sensitivity and performance. Here are two picks that I use based on the price range.

$ Handheld Black EMF Reader[aff]. This reader will read from 50 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This is the standard reader that I provide my guests on my ghost tours. I like it because it is easy to interpret the size and reading of the EMF field. As the color changes from left to right, this indicates a higher EMF field detected.

$$ EMF Rechargeable Reader[aff].

This is a nice-mid market 'ol, reliable reader. The digital screen makes for easy reading of very precise measurements in the dark. A nice alert that goes off when it exceeds a value makes this a great device to leave and walk away from as well.

$$$ EMF Smart Reader[aff].

The perfect range and sensitivity for that serious ghost hunter who may lean toward the more scientific examinations of the environment and determining if an event is truly paranormal. This ghost-hunting device can detect three different types of EMF including magnetic, electric, and radio/microwave fields.

Divining Rods

This easy-to-use equipment is perfect for an intuitive ghost investigation. Ask simple yes and no questions and let the rods cross or uncross to indicate the answer. Also, perfect to guide investigators to areas where paranormal activity might be more profound.

$ Copper Dowsing Rod [aff].

These will get the job done without breaking the bank. Simple in design and comes with a nice bag for transport.

$$$ Copper Dowsing Rods, Pendulum Board and Quartz Crystal [aff].

These rods go one step beyond just ghost hunting and include some metaphysical elements. Perfect for the spiritual ghost hunter.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

This easy-to-use equipment is perfect for seeing the thermal temperatures collected with this device. Ghost Hunters are looking for masses of air that take on a human form. The more sensitive the thermal imaging camera, the better the imagery on the screen presents. This is one item, where going higher in price is a better idea.

$ Hand Held Basis Thermal Imager[aff].

Thermal Imagers are pricey but worth it for an more extensive paranormal investigation. This is the one I started out with.

$$ Klein Tools Thermal Imaging Camera[aff].

This display is 10,000 pixels so reads well in translating temperature into something you can see a mass of on the screen.

$$$ FLIR C3-X Thermal Imaging Camera [aff].

All the bells and whistles and the best screen of any thermal imager I have found online. I love how compact it is and its range in temperature is over 300 degrees. Easy to upload images as well.

SWAG and Graphic Tees

Maybe Dad has all the gadgets so get him some cool paranormal-themed swag instead. Here are my top pics!

For the Dads that love Cryptids

Cryptids are any being that exists outside the natural order of the animal kingdom. These creatures include beings such as Big Foot/Sasquatch/Yeti, Aliens, Mothman, and more! Here are some of my favorite pics for gifts for Dad based on the type of cryptid.
