What Are Ghosts or
Spirits?
That is the million
dollar question we get asked over and over again...
We don't know.
Nobody Does...
But what we DO know is this:
We are documenting consistent patterns in which we are able to paint a
picture.
Science and Facts don't lie. They are unbiased. They give us the
truth.
What YOU do with that information is up to YOU... but I will tell you
this...
Some things Exist Whether you believe them or Not.
Obviously we are on to something otherwise we wouldn't be doing this
for over 3 years.
It's hard to explain things you witness with your own eyes,
or things you hear that would stand your hairs on end.
But it makes you hunger for more.
When you rule out ALL possible and natural explanations, what you are
left with is what we call Paranormal.
Now, getting back to your question... What is a Ghost/Spirit ?
A Ghost or a Spirit is Residual Energy from a Human body.
It is consistent with the Electro-magnetic fields in your skull.
The human conscience (what makes you "you") is not stored anywhere in
your brain.
We know this as a scientific FACT because people have parts of their
brains removed all the time.
They still are who they are.
We know "Information" or "Data" can exist in an energy field. Look at
how most electronics work around you. They transmit information back
and forth through electrical impulses and frequencies.
What we have found is this:
When we investigate an alleged haunted area, we usually find a "ball of
energy" that is consistent in size with majority of the photos we have.
That size is approx. the size of a human head. Coincidence?
That ball of energy is made up of electro-magnetic energy that
registers between 2 and 7 Milliguass. Coincidence Again? On video and
in person, ghost hunters have witnessed these balls of energy react to
people entering a room or talking to them. Some of them even obey
simple commands which shows comprehension and intelligence. Again
Coincidence?
We have found in Digital or Cassette Recordings of EVP that these
spirits/ghosts have emotions in their tone of voice. Again Coincidence?
We have recorded patterns of behavior that are identical to a person
who was once alive. Humans being creatures of habit sometimes don't
differentiate between life and death. Again Coincidence?
We only add up the information we are given and come up with hypothesis
on what these "ghosts" are. Some of them interact with us. Some of them
avoid us, while others are happy to see us.
But no matter where we investigate, no matter who goes on the hunt...
The information and patterns remain the same...
Consistency.
There have been many answers and theories, but over time,
we've narrowed down what we (ghost hunters & paranormal
investigators) believe
ghosts are. Based on a collection of data & reports we share from
all over the
world.
A Ghost, sometimes
referred to as a Spirit, is a residual
collection of bio-energy that once occupied a human body. This energy,
governed
by the (1) laws of thermo-dynamics
still remains intact, but without a shell to contain the energy in.
(i.e. The
human body). An example of this energy is most often experienced on a
dry winter
day, when you walk across a carpet and reach for a door knob... ~ZAP!~
You've
just exchanged energy with the door.
The human mind, uses
bio-energy to fire electrical pulses
to the heart and to other body parts to make them function. Computers
use energy
to store data, believed to be very similar to how our brain stores
memory and
experiences. This energy that contains our "personality", i.e. our
thought processes, intelligence, who we are, & our "soul", is
still intact after our bodies seize to function. We don't phase into
nothingness.
We believe that our
personality continues on because of
countless records of ghost behavior that was reported for hundreds of
years. We
have evidence on tape that some spirits are interactive, responsive,
and some
seek to communicate with others alive and dead. Behavior patterns
identical to
someone who was once alive is still being observed and reported all
over the
world. This leads us to believe, as of 2001, that spirits/ghosts are
people who
once existed on this planet.
This "Energy" is
measured on a Milli-Gauss scale
from 2 to 7 MG using a piece of equipment called an Electro Magnetic
Field
Detector. Some spirits have be documented spiking as high as 16 MG, but
on
average they can be found between 2 and 7 MG. Because spirits/ghosts
are energy,
they have a direct affect on the environment. When an energy molecule
is
excited, it heats up the space around it until it burns up all of the
fuel it
has.
The result is a most
common reported event, attributed to
ghosts... Cold Spots. Temperature drops from 20 F to 60 F degrees
has been
recorded using a non-contact infrared thermometer. This instrument
helps to
identify in what area a spirit may be. We have lots of pictures with
members
holding their non contact thermometers, directly in line with a spirit.
Usually,
the next item we use to capture and document evidence is a regular
camera.
Digital or 35mm
cameras are able to capture these energies,
because in all respect, they have mass, (weight) and a camera flash
will reflect
off of them, casting a shadow behind the spirit. Sony Handi-cams with
night
vision, uses infra-red light which also picks up spirits moving about
in a room.
So adding the math, we believe that all these combined, make up what we
call a
GHOST/Spirit.
