Ok everyone...here is the striaight poop direct from my contacts at Kodak...

If anyone out there is interested in attempting to photograpgh paranormal activities or spirits, here is how to do it right!!

  1. You need to purchase 35mm Kodak HIE-135/36 film. This is B&W Infrared film used for this and other more scientific purposes. You can either purchase the film at a local professional photo shop or order it direct from Kodak at 1-800-242-2424 in Rochester, NY. The roll costs around $10.00 each including shipping.
  2. Once you have the film in your hot little hand, you need to ask your friendly photo-pro at the shop for an 87 filter to use with it. (if he/she doesn't know what this is, have them call the 800# above and get Kodak to tell him/her. ** the reason for the 87 filter is to eliminate all existing light during photography and only to have the IR on the film. (even though it may be dark in a room, there is still existing light that will effect your exposure so use the 87 filter!!).
  3. ONce you have captured you entity on film, either send the film back to Kodak or get it processed at the best quality ;ab ooops...lab in your area. It needs to be processed under three types...hc110, d19, or d76. The best for supernatural purposes is d76 as this gives the most normal overall exposure. You can also have it processed HC110 but this is a much higher contrast index and used mainly for special scientific projects.
I hope that this answers everyones questions regarding the photography of paranormal stuff.

Any questions or need further info, send e-mail to DAVIDFLUKER@delphi.com and I will respond asap.

Regards

Dave
