Ok..
First, thank you for even reading this post, as I know I am not a regular (infact I don't recall posting here ever before, though I might have). That being said.. onto the details.
A local message forum of car ethusiasts were chatting about local "ghost/haunted sightings"... and long story short, have decided to visit a particular "haunted" place at a particular time on a particular day to "hunt some ghosts.."
I'm looking for relatively inexpensive ways to achieve operation, "make ghost hunters crap themselves..." Who's with me?
I was thinking simple things such as yellow LED's (not the superbright clear type) glowing when fishing line is "tripped" (removing a piece of plastic between two metal poles, thus completing the circuit type of thing) to give the appearance of eyes (but would be nice to throw on a sound circuitry as well which would give a "shhhhhhewwww" type of sound or something else half believable)... but staying on continuously is definitely NOT a good thing.. so a timed circuit in which the "shhhheww" sound (or whatever) would play, end and the eyes would be lit for a total of maybe 10 seconds...
I'm no electrical engineer at all.. however, I have made my own PCB's and following circuits from Electronics Handbook (when it was around and if it still is then no one carries it around here) and I solder/desolder quite often. In other words, I'm not intimidated at all by following a schematic and building the circuit.
I have three wireless 9v driven camera's (spy cams) already, which I plan to utilize as well in hopes to get videos of these "ghost hunters" hopefully getting the crap scared out of them... which of course would expeditiously made into a MPG or AVI for all of you to view.. :) My way of saying, "thank you for your help"...
Also, any ideas are welcome as well... I would LOVE for this to be a "success" (for US that is..)
TIA!!!
