Brian Topp Posted October 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Most moms' groups meet in someone's living room, maybe at a restaurant. Even the library. But this night, Christie Chaidez, Liz Mason and Theresa Ban are sitting in a dark hallway of an abandoned building. Peeling paint hangs from the ceiling like it's melting off a hot surface, and a musty smell hangs in the cement corridor. read more: http://www.chicagoparent.com/magazines/chicago-parent/2013-october/feature/ghosthunters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted October 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Whats with the "moms" group thing? I am sure some of the men ghost hunters out there also have children....they do not advertise themselves as " paranormal fathers". If they want to go on a girly night out hunting ghosts, fine, but the gimmicks are silly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do a all hamster ghost hunters but they ran away while i was showing them how to use the ghost radar app. Edited October 24, 2013 by Brian Topp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinewave Posted October 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) The meter moved! Priceless. I'd be more surprised if it didn't. Edited October 24, 2013 by sinewave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinewave Posted October 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) What are "variations in electric energy" that their device detects? What aren't they is more like it. Any kind of radio signals RADAR Live wiring Transformers Electrical storms Cosmic radiation Magnetosphere Microwave ovens Solar activity Generators Ignition systems Computers People Anything that has electrical flow or a magnetic field will make the meter move. There are quite literally thousands more sources. Any of which could do it. Edited October 24, 2013 by sinewave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted October 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Except, I suppose, ghosts? I don't see ghosts going around causing electrical discharges. If so that's a new one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get claims and stories being posted here from time to time about ghost hunting expeditions that couldn't get any photos or video of ghosts because ghosts electromagnetic fields drain the batteries from electronic devices.

I normally class as forgetfulness or buy faultly batteries. I got customers who don't realize that batteries wear down and dont hold a charge for long.

Frank Merton Posted October 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Last time a ghost hovered over my bedside my hair may have stood on end but it wasn't static electricity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, first you have to control out all of those other sources which is difficult. The average EMF meter wielding, fumbling around in the dark, clod is not going to have the necessary tools much less the knowledge of how to use them. Ghost believers in the same breath will tell you that science is not advanced enough to quantify ghosts but then insist their cheap EMF meters can detect them.

Frank Merton Posted October 24, 2013 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We live in an electrical world; how on earth could one ever be sure of a pure signal? I guess that is what you are saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine question! The answer is they absolutely cannot. They ask questions then look at the meter and wait for the tiniest flicker and call it a response. They lead themselves to believe they are in touch with an entity from the other side when it is more likely the guy down the street just opened his garage door. Random magnetic flux happens everywhere on earth every day. Assigning meaning to any of it is silly without doing a crap-load of work to isolate, quantify, and qualify the fields. The sweaty dude with the $20 EMF meter crawling around in your attic will accomplish nothing beyond pushing himself closer to the intellectual dark ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
