New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2017 -- NYC is chuck full of famous locations. From the Empire State Building to Rockefeller Center and even the world famous Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York has something for everybody including...ghosts. And now New York's own Ghost Doctors are sharing some ghost hunting pointers on the cheap when uncovering those ghostly spirits that call the Big Apple their home.

The Ghost Doctors (aka Dr. Pete and Dr. Stew) paranormal investigators and licensed NYC tour guides are now leading adventure seekers through some of the most iconic landmarks in the Big Apple in search of unusual paranormal goings-on. After a crash course in the basics of ghost hunting including the use of a variety of high tech ghost hunting equipment -- their groups of newly trained brave ghost hunters are ready to accompany the Ghost Doctors on their paranormal quests. But what about those weekend amateur ghost hunters who would like to find something strange going on in their neighborhood but don't feel like shelling out some big bucks on expensive ghost hunting equipment?

"Quite a few people ask us after we've taken them ghost hunting -- are there any ghost hunting tools that we can use where we don't have to spend a bundle?" says Dr. Stew. "And they're surprised to learn that with just a little time and ingenuity anybody can turn some simple household items into some pretty cool ghost hunting tools."

In fact, the Ghost Doctors have created a list of some inexpensive ghost hunting tools and techniques that even the Ghostbusters' Dr. Venkman would like to get his hands on:

1- A camping compass or any old compass one has lying around can act as a ghost hunter's EMF (electromagnetic field) meter to help pick up those electromagnetic fields associated with ghostly spirits. And best of all -- no batteries required.

2- Bring Spot along for the ghost hunt. Take the family dog along when going ghost hunting. Dogs have very acute senses, especially their sense of hearing and smell which can be a big plus when sniffing out the paranormal.

3- Dig the old baking thermometer out of your kitchen draw. Ghostly spirits have been associated with changes in temperature, but make sure to bring it back before thanksgiving rolls around.

4- Pull out those old hanging wind chimes that's stashed in the closet. Hang them in those areas suspected of having possible paranormal activity. If they start chiming and there's no detectable draft or breeze -- check it out.

5- Always trust your gut! If one senses, feels, hears, smells or sees something that's out of the ordinary check it out. Remember the nose knows!
