It is believed by paranormal investigators that ghosts or spirits can be detected through fluctuations in the earth’s electromagnetic field using an EMF detector. I personally do not believe this is a reliable method for doing so. I believe EMF fluctuations can happen normally at certain places even without paranormal intervention. Without knowing whether spirits are just energy or something else, do they have mass or not, it is difficult to tell if they give off their own magnetic field or simply disrupt the earth’s magnetic field as they move. Given the fact that the earth is one big magnet with a molten metal core that is moving around and covered with an immense ocean that is also moving, it is natural to assume that these magnetic fields do not remain static. I do believe that EMF may one day be the key to uncovering a lot of what is happening around us. Until we can see the Electromagnetic spectrum in three dimensions like we do with Infrared imaging, any data collected from EMF detectors will be purely speculation. PKEI has researched EMI (electromagnetic imaging) but this technology is in early development and still a ways off. I also believe when this technology becomes as useable and portable as thermal imaging, it will be much more expensive to own. This would put the technology out of the reach of most paranormal investigators such as it has with thermal imaging. EMF has been used in some new and interesting ways lately to rule out natural phenomena. Investigators have been using techniques such as trying to get spirits to manipulate an EMF detector repeatedly by asking questions and monitoring the response to rule out the random and increase the validity of their results. I am glad to see this being done because it shows that there or those out there that realize that an EM spike alone is not enough to prove paranormal activity.

EMF and the Paranormal Connection
Thursday, January 7th, 2010The Ghost of the PFI
Sunday, March 29th, 2009
This image was shot by Ken Rathburn in 2000 as the two of us were investigating the Patapsco Female Institute in Ellicott City, MD. It is one of the most intriguing mist photos I have ever seen. Everywhere you look there seems to be faces in the image. It wasn’t until we were done picking out all the details within the image that we noticed the “big picture”. The whole image appears to be that of a woman with long hair and a flowing gown holding a baby in her out stretched arms. Some believe this to be the image of Annie Van Derlot, a young girl that died from pneumonia during the years the PFI was a school for girls. This doesn’t explain what appears to be a baby in the picture. I have never seen any mention of Annie having a baby or even a miscarriage. Whoever or whatever this is, it is still quite an amazing picture.
Are Premonitions Real?
Saturday, March 21st, 2009It is March 21, 2009 three o’clock in the morning and I find myself unable to sleep. I have just had a dream or vision and I feel compelled to right it down. I saw a television screen and an American solder was being escorted across the screen from left to right in handcuffs. He appeared to be either army or marines wearing kaki pants and a t-shirt. He was a young black man with a muscular build looking to be around 21 years old. I remember hearing that he was being held by Hamas, possibly for killing or trying to kill some Hamas official. There were also some flashes about a rescue attempt by the US and that the solder had later been shot by Hamas.
I hope this was just a dream, but what was it really? I thought that perhaps this may be a topic I would also like to discuss on Solar Mass. Maybe I should add a category for things such as premonitions and ESP.
So what did I see? As far as I know, I have been awake all night. So how could it have been a dream? Was it a half-wake dream, a vision or maybe a premonition? To my knowledge, I don’t believe I have ever had what I would categorize as a premonition. I know that the human mind is capable of amazing things. Things such as perception at a higher level then we realize. Have you ever been singing a song to yourself and then somewhere you hear a radio and it is the exact song that you are playing in your head? Perhaps even at the exact same spot in the song. This has happened to me many times in my life. Maybe it’s possible that my mind was actually detecting that song being transmitted through the air and surrounding my body. How many other things is my brain capable or perceiving that I thought could not be seen, heard or felt? It is interesting how this ties into other areas such as paranormal events. Is it possible that some things people think they saw were just perceived at some other level but still just as real? I have been on paranormal investigations with people that claim to be sensitive to spirits and claim they are seeing something that I cannot. I often wondered to myself if they are really seeing something or are they just crazy. Perhaps their mind is just playing tricks on them. There’s an interesting phrase, “mind playing tricks”. How many times have we said this? Is it a trick or just the brain, intermittently working at a higher level than thought possible?
Who are Shadow People?
Friday, March 13th, 2009There is a little known area of paranormal phenomena called, “Shadow People”. These are dark silhouettes generally having a humanoid shape often seen in areas with known paranormal activity. Some people do claim to see these phantoms in areas not associated with paranormal phenomena and even in broad daylight. Most believe these are just another form of spirits of dead people or perhaps demons or inhuman entities. I have another theory. Since I don’t believe in god, I can rule out demons. If they are spirits of dead people, why do they hide from us? Almost every occurrence of these phenomena portrays it trying to stay out of our direct line of sight or when seen, move away as quickly as possible. This does not make sense to me for the theory that they are just spirits of the dead. This looks more like something that is actively and stealthily watching us and does not want to be detected. I believe, whatever is behind the dark cloak of these phantoms, will turn the paranormal world upside down when and if it is ever determined. I have a couple theories about what these might be. I believe they could be aliens observing us using some kind of stealth technology similar to what has lately been detected with UFOs in the sky that no longer show up in the visible light spectrum. For a good example of this, go to YouTube and watch the video taken by the Mexican drug enforcement plane of the UFOs filmed on infrared cameras that were not visible with the naked eye. Another theory I have is that these are entities from a parallel dimension or possibly even time travelers that are covertly observing our society. The world has reached a point where evolution is taking place right before our eyes as our technology advances by leaps and bounds every year. I believe this makes this point in our history THE time to observe us as a people for anyone interested in doing so.
