I bought a night vision binocular (20X50). It is one of those ordinary binoculars that doesn't require batteries. I tested it out last night, and it quite didn't rise to my expectations. So how can I improve my night vision and the binoculars?

I sort of have trouble seeing in the dark espeacially at night. I want to find some way to improve my night vision so I can see better in the dark. Like when I walk in the dark I don't see anything much but black. Please help me in anyways please. Thanks. *Without lights.

I have recently started a hobby of ghost vigils in haunted houses. I have a digital stills camera and a normal non digital video camera. How can i use either to get good night time shots? Do i have to spend out on a ready made night vision camera or can i convert either by use of lights or special lenses etc?

Ok, so I know that mirrors need light to work correct? I have never tried night vision goggles but I guess they dont put out any light. So, if you were in a room that is completely dark, put on night vision goggles, and staired into a mirror would you see anything? Educated guesses are welcome!
