The scariest thing most of you will ever see!

This is the equation which defines how an entity effects the electrical circuits of our equipment (e.g. battery drain, flickering lights and all that jazz).

Damn you, Frank! Trying to take all the credit for my mathmatical hypothesis again! I'll let you go ahead and explain it though, since i'm a nice guy.... Very Happy

Actually you are right...it is not my work. The equation that is! It's application of this equation to the phenomenon is mine though. Very Happy

Interesting Frank. And I imagine your formula is indeed scarier than the Exorcist to the average viewer. Nice work!!

It'd be interesting to track what percentage of paranormal investigator teams' time is spent at the allegedly haunted locations relative to the total time spent handling the electronic equipment.

Otherwise it would seem difficult to know whether or not the battery drainage and other issues were due to excessive handling of electronic equipment for long stretches of time.

It just seems there will be a certain level of battery drainage and malfunction, etc. with any group using electronics frequently, for paranormal purposes or not.

Seems there needs to be very strict (global) documented studies about when and where these problems occur during various expeditions and from various paranormal groups over time, to boost theories based on this alleged effect.

This monitoring would include baseline readings of charge status(?) of each electronic device prior to every field outing. Also, all batteries would need to be removed from equipment when in a state of nonuse.

If you or someone else has done global, strict/formal research on battery power flux on and off the alleged field of a haunting, I'd think that'd be good in supporting your theory ... assuming of course that the results reflect a strong correlation btwn. these battery problems and their occurence on fields of investigation.

... Not doubting you may be on to something important, just being devil's advocate in support of your cause!

Honestly, no one in our group has ever noted any unexplainable battery drainage in all of our investigations. In my opinion, I think ya can just get a batch of bad batteries sometimes. We've found that rechargable batteries do all kinds of funny stuff too and they're very unreliable. Some cameras totally suck the life right out of batteries while others don't too. My old Toshiba camera was absolutely horrible on batteries! It would go through 4 brand new AA's about every 30 or 40 pics or so!

As far as equipment failure/malfunction goes, the only really wierd thing that ever happened was during our first investigation at Tinker's Creek Cemetery and it scared the shit out of Matt and I.... lol

Matt had just approached me to tell me that he just captured an ecto photo. I asked him where he got it and before Matt could even answer me, I took a picture in the general vacinity that matt had just came from. As I snapped the picture, it sounded as though someone set off a firecracker (kinda like a really loud POP) and a REALLY bright flash of light. Matt and I about shit our pants and started to take off running like a couple of little girls.... LOL! The picture didn't seem seem to show anything out of the ordinary though unfortunately.

Here is the audio clip from when that happened for your enjoyment:

"The Camera Scare Incident"

Thanks for the response everyone. I had taken into account the occasional malfunctioning battery or bad camera from the beginning. The relatively short study performed by me was over the course of several investigations with time tested reliable equipment (no new batteries were introduced unless I was testing them).

OMS, I know your experience is limited on the investigation front but the battery drain is not really a drain. The circuit is interrupted! When the battery on mine and others cameras seemed to be drained, we could remove the camera and battery from that location and it would show fully charged. This paper being merely a hypothetical statement does not include the documentation collected over these paranormal jaunts.

The ELF/VLF emissions from an electrostatic field have been shown in countless studies in classical, stochastic and quantum electrodynamics. These fields have been measured in proximity to these "ghost" anomalies from very weak fields of less than one mG to strong fields of over 200mG. The static pop and flash that Aedryan describes has been caught (indirectly) on film by me in one of our investigations over 4 years ago. I have also heard the pop and flash preceded by a cellophane-type crackle before the pop. Obviously this anomaly is a discharge of built-up energy but I have not studied that particular anomaly to give you an intelligent answer as to how it is created.

As soon as I put my collection of recorded evidence on one tape, I will convert it to digital and make it available to ya'll for review.

Sounds like you're hooking up w some great people.

It's a little surprising to me that there aren't more scientists (the hard sciences) actively interested in the paranormal and churning out interesting data about it.

Guess my surprise comes from the fact that I come from a family full of traditionally "left-brained" people (scientists/surgeons/doc.s, etc.), almost all of whom believe in the existence of paranormal activity regardless of clinical training. Obviously we aren't the only open-minded science-minded types. But still there seems to be a paucity of us out there ...

My hunch is there are many would-be paran. scientists and researchers that are just interested enough to entertain conversations about these matters, but not interested enough to pursue the study of it.

And as you alluded to, preserving reputation has a lot to do w it. But you'd think there'd be a few more mavericks out there willing to become pioneers and potentially contribute to groundbreaking discoveries about human consciousness, other forms of intelligence, etc.(?)

Especially since quite a few scientists claim paranormal experiences.

But to be fair: If it weren't for my experiences w EVP/ASSP, I doubt there'd be such a strong sense of passion around these matters right now. Now it's like something needs to be brought to light about the whole phenomenon and there's this obsessive drive to try and contribute to the cause. Phew, inflicted you w another tangent. Anyway I respect all the effort you're putting into your experiments!
