I have gotten very interested spirits and ghost even more lately, quick background info- always open minded to the possibility of an existence beyond this when we pass on. While we were out in the pine barrens in NJ we found an old house that looked like it might have been on fire at some point but the building was still able to be explored which is one of our hobbies. We found an old ass doll in a high chair with a rattle and a goblet looking thing. Took her home because she was cool looking and a perfect Halloween prop. Since she has been in our house we see all kinds of things, shadows or what looks like someone walking out of the corner of our eyes. We were watching tv one random night and around 3am or so I asked my partner if he just saw that? He was like "what the black dot"? We both saw what appeared to be a round black dot just floating to the right of our fireplace. It was only there a few seconds but when he said the "black dot" without me saying anything about it it was really crazy! We moved in here about 7 years ago and have had lots of small "experiences" since we moved in. We live in denial right now, but when we put the doll in the attic after Halloween one year we left her rattle down by mistake and we heard footsteps in the attic constantly. Went up to look for animals or droppings or something and didn't see anything that looked like mice, raccoons or squirrels up there, we noticed the her rattle from Halloween was left down and put it back up with the rest of the stuff and swear to whatever you believe the footsteps up stairs in the attic stopped. Just like that. Don't know if it was the doll, but putting the rattle upstairs made to footsteps stop. So we are extremely interested in ghost hunting or investigating the paranormal and really want to go about it the right way, we have done research online and watched tons of videos on YouTube and other places. Nothing beats real experience so we want to know: What is the basic equipment to start? We use iPhone apps for EMF and EVP but they could be tainted because they are apps. Are there any reputable apps for iPhone? We don't have a huge budget but have lots of interest and know of a bunch of locations in NJ we want to check out. Recommendations for basic starting equipment would be great, we have a FLIR camera and emf app and use an app for evp stuff. We want to do it right so any advice or help you can offer would be great, if you have extra or old gear you wanna get rid of to help us out cheap or free lol we'd pay shipping and all, or simply list some gear we should get for sure and maybe a good place to buy it from like eBay, Amazon or a more dedicated site. We are both very interested and eager to start seeing for ourselves what else might be out there and want to open our minds to new experiences and enlightenment. We both have had paranormal type experiences or so we think and want to explore it more.

Thanks for the time to read all this and very interested in seeing what you all have to say, we are both ready to learn from all of you.

P.S. I added a picture of the doll.
