In the SPRG series, our Student Paranormal Research Group uses EMF Meters to help them with their research and documentation of paranormal phenomena.
EMF stands for "electromagnetic field," and they affect paranormal investigations in 2 ways:
- Research has found that locations with high levels of EMF (like buildings near cell sites for mobile phones, or locations that use electromagnetic generators for power) increases the incidence of hallucinations in people in the area. This includes visions of "ghosts."
This is why it's important to find out first if a location has a normally high EMF reading.
Besides the fact that it makes people see things, it can't be good for their brains.
- Meanwhile, in locations where the EMF levels are normal, it's been found that EMF "spikes" (sudden high readings on the EMF detector) often indicate the presence of a paranormal entity.
This is based on the theory that spirits / ghosts are made up of energy (since they no longer have bodies), and one form of energy they use is electromagnetic energy.
In Voices In the Theater, you encountered Migs and Aris using an EMF detector, which they actually put together themselves using these 2 videos:
This detector uses lights to let you "see" the amount of EMF.
This detector translates EMF levels as sound, and allows you to record them.
