Objective documentary equipment, such ascameras, audio recorders, surveillance systems,etc. are used to validate claims of paranormal
activity.

Some paranormal investigators set up infraredcameras available with most surveillance
systems in areas known as "hot spots", or areaswhere paranormal activity frequently occur.

Some hypothesize that discarnate consciousnessesare made up of, or manipulate electromagneticradiation to "manifest". This can occasionally be
accompanied by a cold spot, or an area that is 10°cooler, in a localized area, that has no discerniblecause. So, some paranormal investigators invest in
expensive thermal imaging infrared cameras.

Electronic voice phenomenon (EVPs) aresounds and/or voices purported to be
communication from deceased individuals.

Common Tips & Considerations While Attempting To Elicit EVPs:
1) Never whisper.2) Document any naturally-occurring noises in
consideration of the analyst.3) Speak approximately 5-feet away from the recorder.
4) Wait at least 30 seconds between questions.

Electromagnetic and Temperature Anomalies
![Page 14: Ghost Hunting Equipment](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051114/62774041e0a1bb1ae96c7b26/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Monitoring equipment, such as gaussmetersand thermometers are used to located
experience-inducing fields (EIFs). These areareas where electromagnetic and geomagnetic
radiation can cause paranormal-likephenomena.

Gaussmeters detect these fields, but alsoelectromagnetic radiation from electrical
appliances, water flowing through pipes, airrunning through vents, moving air fromelectrical fans, and even smart phones.

Some health risks for prolonged exposure toparticularly high electromagnetic radiation
include: sleep disturbances, headaches,depression, fatigue, dizziness, restlessness,anxiety, nausea, and redness on the skin.

Neuroscientist Michael A.Persinger (1945 - 2018) theorized
that high levels ofelectromagnetic radiation
reduces levels of endogenousmelatonin in the brain, leading to
visual and auditoryhallucinations, that could beinterpreted as paranormal
activity. Sources:

To test the hypothesis that discarnateconsciousnesses need electromagnetic
radiation to "manifest", a Van de Graaffgenerator can be placed in a "hot spot", toflood the area with this type of radiation.

Some paranormal investigators even use anegative ion generator, as some hypothesizethat negative ions allow spirits to "manifest".

Electromagnetic radiation can bedocumented by way of Kirlian photography.This is accomplished by placing an object ona photographic plate, and then running highvoltage over the plate. The result is a coronal
discharge.

As shown by "thephantom leaf effect",
there is a coronaldischarge even in areas
of biologicalorganisms that have
been severed.Source:

This form of photography would only be aconsideration with a particularly
communicative discarnate consciousness thathas shown the capacity to cause objects to
move.

ParapsychologistWilliam G. Roll (1926 -

radiation can be createdby groundwater runningover limestone bedrock.

Seismic tension in these areas also explainball of light phenomena, which, Michael
Persinger explains, are mysterious,wandering balls of light, called
triboluminescence.

Geological considers can be made byresearching the geological surveys of a
particular area, looking for this content, aswell as researching possibley nearby fault

Infrasound Theory
![Page 29: Ghost Hunting Equipment](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051114/62774041e0a1bb1ae96c7b26/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Skeptic Vic Tandy (1955 - 2005)found a link between infrasound,or sounds that aren't in the range
of human hearing, and placesthat people consider "creepy". Hediscovered that if the resonancereaches 18Hz, that of the humaneyeball, people will report seeing
apparitions.

Tandy came to this realization afterdiscovering that an extractor fan at a medical
manufacturing warehouse company wasresonating at 19Hz, causing employees to
shiver, as well as see apparitions. When the fanwas replaced, the "haunting" stopped entirely.

Infrasound can be created by severe weatherconditions, but also by man-made sources, suchas wind turbines, fans, diesel engines, and some
loud speaker designs.
Infrasound microphones are available, but areexpensive.

Temperature Variations

Michael A. Persinger theorizedthat cold spots can be explainedby the "thermoelectric effect",when two opposing chargedsilicate-containing layers ofbedrock are under seismic
stress, or activated bythunderstorms, or geomagnetic
storms.

Temperature variations will most often occuraround windows, doorways, air vents, and
fans. Also, once a person sits down andrelaxes, they will start to feel cooler, as their
thyroid slows.

Geomagnetic radiation is a disturbance in themagnetosphere in response to solar flares. The
are more so associated with occurrences ofpoltergeist activity, known today as recurrent
spontaneous psychokinesis (RSPK).
