Ghost Hunting Etiquette 102
A ghost, spirit or specter is a compilation of many different elements. First and foremost,
it is the essence and energy of a previously living human being lacking all of it’s physical
senses, sight, sound, touch, etc. Second, it is a mass of feelings and pure thought that
must use alternate forms of communication. They can easily sense a human’s feelings,
whether it be fear, malevolence or kindness. Thirdly, a ghost is a elemental being sustained
by an energetically charged environment.
Many elements are required to establish the formation of this elusive entity. Energy, first
and foremost is essential for it’s existence and manifestation. Upon entering an environment
where a suspected spirit resides, it is essential to allow the spirit the opportunity to
manifest. If the researchers and ghost hunters charge in with lights out and cameras
blazing, the spirit may be intimidated by the aggressive nature and become reclusive. There
needs to be a common courtesy from both parties for a successful investigation to be
fruitful. Poking and provoking the spirit, while occasionally effective, may result in
unwanted physical attacks or no results at all.
Let’s review what our basic understanding of ghosts from a scientific standpoint for a
moment. All theories and assumed facts based on our experiences, technology and
experiments. First, ghosts vibrate at a higher frequency in their realm than our own due to
their lack of physical substance. Our realm having a heavier density and a substantially
lower frequency of vibration, causes us to lack the ability to communicate properly with
these entities. This assumed fact has been established by the use of electromagnetic field
detectors, electronic voice phenomena and various other technology based methods.
Second, ghosts need a substantial amount of energy to manifest in our realm. It is alleged
that when an entity is trying to manifest, many amazing environmental changes begin to take
place. The area of
manifestation becomes increasingly cooler, much colder than it’s surroundings and previous
readings of the area. The air becomes more dense and significantly charged with
electromagnetic energy, hence the
common observation of eye witnesses stating that the hairs on the back of their neck stood
up. Batteries and sources of energy are occasionally drained or manipulated. Lights
flickering or electronic equipment
turning on and off may be an example of energy manipulation upon a spirit’s attempt to
complete formation. This, in theory, is the entity attempting to draw as much energy out
the area as possible to visibly
manifest. A ghost’s energetic temperature signature has been recorded with the help of a
thermal camera.
There are many forms that an entity can assume, based on the amount of energy it can
consume at that present moment. There is the ominous floating orb of light, the lightweight
mist, the dark and sinister
looking shadow, various invisible and physically assertive forms and ultimately the fully
formed torso apparition. Their abilities to manifest seem to be dependent on the use and
availability of some forms of energy. In a home, they utilize lights, batteries and other
man-made technologies to enhance their abilities. Outside, where it seems there would be
little source of extracting energy, there are ley lines, air charged by naturally occurring
friction and electricity as well as various sources of certain rock and minerals.
So, based on this basic information that we living folks have gathered over the years
pertaining to the existence of the other side, we can finally put it to good use. My first
proposal is that when performing a ghost hunting expedition is to provide an energy source
for the entities to utilize. As ghost hunters, much of our technological equipment relies on
the premise of being in complete darkness. That is all well and good, but it can deprive the
entity of any form of energy to use for manifestation.
In one television episode, our beloved TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) ghost hunters
were working on a case concerning a light house. The entities were heard and seen from
the very peak of the lighthouse,
but throughout the episode and the general stories from eye witnesses, the spirits rarely
ventured far from that area. This episode contained some amazing and clear footage of the
entities peering over the railing
and coming down the lighthouse stairs. It would seem that this was their chosen home due
to, in my opinion, the immense power that the giant light emits or the powerful motor
turning the light. I found it
interesting how in the event of complete darkness, the entities maintained their visible
forms for lengthy periods of time, possibly due using the strongest potential and residual
energy light source within the area. Like a moth to a flame, they seemed to cling to the
beacon of light.
One must remember how much work and effort it takes for them to transform themselves
to our level. They are barely aware of our presence in general, as well as the fact that
they cannot perform efficiently in
our realm’s particular density. Where they exist, it is confusing and foggy at best. For us
living people, we could not function in an environment with very little oxygen, we would be
disorientated and would have extreme difficulty performing even the most simple of
actions. This is how it is for those trying to lower their vibrations from a higher vibration
realm, except energy is their oxygen.
A couple of theories that substantiates the need for more energy in the air is that of the
noticeable paranormal activity increases during electrical storms and barometric pressure
changes. With lightening charging all the particles in the air, the air itself becomes a
conduit of pure energy for the spirits to utilize.
There are many examples of communication barriers in our own existence. An example is
that of a hearing person and a deaf person. We acknowledge the fact that some people are
incapable of understanding what we are trying to say with our voice. We then adapt
ourselves to their needs. By using sign language we’ve established a bridge for crossing the
communication gap. In this compassionate and dignified manner, we are
respecting the hearing impaired. A ghost isn’t any different in that respect. We simply
need to adapt ourselves and our perceptions to find a way to communicate.
Psychics in general, if they are truly such and honest, emit a particularly high vibration
when attempting to communicate with a ghost. A psychic can actually raises the particle
acceleration of their own vibration within their aura and general surroundings allowing a
spirit the opportunity to potentially communicate. Everyone though can alter their aura or
energy field to communicate with the other side, it simply requires practice and trust in
your own abilities. The adapted energy field that a psychic emits is like a virtual beacon to
the paranormal. That is why people who are considered sensitives or empathic are more able
to potentially attract and communicate with the desired entities. But seeing that nowadays
we desperately want undeniable and factual proof that the ghosts exist, we must utilize
human technology as much as possible. The perfect end result being an actual videotaped
interview with a spirit exchanging information.
We are called ghost ‘hunters’ right? Let’s break down the implication of a hunter. A hunter
travels to the potential prey’s location, their natural environment. The hunter sets up
various traps, baits and strategies as to best capture his opponent, correct?
There are certain rules and common senses that the hunter uses to entice his prey, based
on observation and research. Should we apply the term hunter’ to ourselves as paranormal
investigators, we see that we are
attempting to ‘capture’ a certain unpredictable prey. The problem is, we are not complying
with the prey’s rules. If it’s energy the prey desires, we must comply to the rules. Yes?
If ghosts are drawing energy to themselves to create electromagnetic fields, it must be
necessary for them to do this in order to manifest and communicate. We must recreate an
energy source from with they can
draw so that they can charge their existing density in order to allow more efficient
permeability of free space. Essentially luring them in as they are enticed by the energy.
If you become a ghost ‘observer’ as well as a hunter, you’re more likely to understand the
nature of the prey. When zoos keep animals in captivity, they observe and then recreate
the natural environment of the animal to the best of their abilities, to better understand,
appreciate and welcome the animal to it’s new habitat. Shouldn’t we then abide by the
natural and unnatural environmental requests of the paranormal? We have been attempting
to infiltrate this
unnatural environment with our own natural understanding of our own laws of physics. We
must adapt our thinking to accommodate the experimental environment and habitat of our
chosen test subject. How can we possibly understand a paranormal idea if we do not
entertain the idea of altering our own perceptions of normal?
So, in combining the theories that ghosts need energy to manifest and communicate on our
realm, we should then attempt to find a source of energy that can be safely placed within
the desired area of effect. I think we may have to play with many forms of energy to find
a satisfactory suitor, but with patience and trial and error, we will find it. Recreating high
emissions of electromagnetic energy in itself is very dangerous. Studies show that high
levels can cause a human very unpleasant symptoms. Nausea, paranoia and dizziness are
among the common symptoms, not to mention hallucinations. Many hauntings have been
debunked due to high levels of electromagnetic energy found in a home. Poor wiring and
older technology are just a few items that can produce these emissions.
There are many safe forms of creating usable energy. I would suggest trying static
electricity. Remember back in science class when the teacher brought out the static ball
machine. It’s called a Van DeGraff Generator. It can safely produce between 200,000 and
250,000 volts, creating enough charge to make the average person’s hair stand completely
on end. It can literally create a miniature lightning effect within a controlled
circumference, therefore charging the atmosphere, possibly enough to help enable a spirit
to manifest.
One woman that contacted me about a potential haunting in her home said she often heard
the sound of static electricity popping before a strange and unexplained paranormal event
would occur in her home. Similar to the
sound preceding and following an EVP recording. These are just examples in how to expand
your perception, and help you understand that there are ideas out there yet to be
discovered. Don’t limit yourselves and your experiments to only what you have learned from
others, explore and trust your instincts. You may just be the one to discover the true
secrets hiding behind the paranormal veil.
With all ghost hunting expeditions, safety is number one. Getting the evidence you want is
a definite plus, but we must remember to treat both the homeowner and unseen house
guest with both respect and dignity.
