This was in response to a e-mail from Mike who was discussing the lack of specificity in reporting by many paranormal investigators: Mike, You are right, there is little documentation among paranormal investigators about cold spots and anomalous electromagnetic fields. A lot of what is on websites is intended for entertainment rather than research, as is the case with a lot of books. Even in my own website, I've not included detail about the strength of an EM field or the temperature I found within it. I have included that information on the website for a recent investigation. There is a lot of this kind of detail in the book I have coming out this fall. For anyone who would like to see information about this investigation of paranormal activity in a rural cemetery in Illinois, please visit: http://www.smalltownghosts.com/STG1/Knox1x.html As for finding cold spots associated with paranormal EM fields, I have observed the following: 1. The fields are difficult to locate outdoors because of the open area. I have used thermal scanners to locate cold spots outdoors, but determining exactly where they are is difficult because there can be a whole lot of open space out there. In the case of the example cited above, we did find a cold spot with high EMF readings in a cemetery. 2. I have had greater success in locating anomalous EM fields indoors. I have found them both by using a TriField meter or other EMF detector and by using a thermal scanner followed up with an EMF detector. 3. I have found cold spots associated with anomalous EM fields. The temperature difference can be anywhere between 5 and 20 degrees below the surrounding area. I have confirmed temperature differences using both thermal scanners and standard digital thermometers. the limitation of a the digital thermometer is the fields move and often do not stay in one place long enough to capture the full temperature difference. This means I need better equipment. Maybe after the book comes out, I'll be able to afford it(LOL). 4. I have a theory about why these fields are colder than the surrounding air. I have reviewed it with a Ph.D. level physicist and he said it was plausible (high praise from an academician). When the electromagnetic field is in the air, it causes negative ions to discharge. This causes the temperature to drop. The stronger the field, the greater the temperature drop. The cooler air causes the moisture within the air in the field to condense. This gives the reflective surface that can be detected by the thermal scanner. It also gives a reflective surface that allows the flash of light from a camera to reflect back into the lense when a photo is taken. This is why we ghost hunters capture things on film that we do not see at the time. The flash and reflection happens too fast for the human eye to perceive it as a discreet event. 5. The paranormal investigator has to know what he is doing with the equipment to have valid research. Many folks out there are amateurs having fun. I welcome feedback on these theories. The more we debate, the more we inspire new thought. If I don't have it right, maybe somebody else will figure it out and give us the breakthrough we are looking for.
