All you have to do is leave the camera on until you see something drift around. To add to this: the easiest way is with a double exposure. Place your camera (one capable of making double exposures) on a secure tripod and place a friend in a chair. Take a meter reading, then stop down one stop below the correct exposure. Take the photo. Have your friend leave. Re-shoot the empty chair at the same exposure. (You can take these in either order; it doesn't matter). The resulting ghost-like image of your friend will be a fake, but so are all photographs of ghosts, by definition. It is impossible to take a verifiably genuine photograph of a ghost because it is too easy to take ungenuine ghosts.

Most investigators use a variety of cameras for investigations so that a wide range of optical spectrums are captured. Digital, as well as film cameras, are used as well since digital cameras interpolate incoming data differently than film cameras do and also are more prone to optical artifacts due to their high resolution capability.

Cameras that are used should typically be of low Lux (low lighting) ability, and most investigators (my own team included) use 0 Lux cameras, which essentially see in zero light (total darkness). Many modern digital cameras have low-light/Lux capability, but not all have 0 Lux capability. Surveillance cameras are the most common 0 Lux camera types. We also use regular and HD cameras, as well as film cameras, with flash capability.

One problem with digital cameras is that they filter out a good portion of the light spectrum so that pictures taken are within the optimum visual spectrum that we see. The problem with this of course is that any spectrum filtration can also filter out a potential capture of an entity, as we often don't visually see what a camera might. Experiments with bypassing this has led to some interesting results, and they've come to be termed "full spectrum" cameras.

If you can afford it, Thermal cameras also increase your investigative capability, helping to not only find evidence but also to aid in debunking as well. They're not cheap though.

Whatever cameras you use, be it digital or film, SD or HD, you should always have a variety on hand and not rely on just one type.
