Ghost detector

Ghost detector wand on its stand with the crystal glowing purple, a pressure gauge on top and a wooden canister behind it

A ghost detector for paranormal LARP. Point it around a room and it glows and ticks like a Geiger counter.

The wand has a copper tube, a pressure gauge and a tip of real selenite. A hose runs to a wooden canister with a brass top and a leather strap, and the three knobs on the canister set the colour of the light: red, green and blue.

The small wooden remote switches the detector on and off and turns the ticking up or down, from barely there to frantic. Whoever holds the remote decides how haunted the room is.
