Often we see folks on TV or otherwise sit down for an EVP (electronic voice phenomena) session only to ask for a knock response or to move something. While it is “like WHOA!” when something flies across the room, even if it’s caught on camera, there are too many ways to debunk it. (This comes from a discussion I’m having via e-mail with my friend and avid ghost hunter, Greg Murr of Secret City Paranormal).
The truth is spirits only have so much energy to manifest physical sounds, apparitions or movement of objects. If we use it all up on one shift of a trigger object, we might just miss out on valuable communication that can prove who might be haunting and relay some historical facts that can be verified later.
There is value in coming into an investigation prepared with a list of EVP questions that relate to the property and it’s history. If possible, once evidence it obtained, to return with more refined questions and ANSWERS to any queries the ghosts may have. Conversation is two-way, correct?!
I encourage you to weigh in on this one. Also, if you have any really interesting EVP questions you would like to use, jot those down as well. I’m attempting to compile a list of intriguing things to ask an astral.

While I’m not the typical celebrity, it would be a humorous moniker to stick next to my usual titles of fruitloop, ripsnorter and silly-heart.

Ghost Hunting in the Dark…
Today’s comic and a few other ones I’ve done recently deal with darkness and ghost hunting. It’s also a great way to avoid heavy drawing. HA!
Why do we search for ghosts in the dark. I really don’t know for sure. Perhaps it’s the only time we notice them? Or is it that they seem to find more energy to make things happen when the sun goes down?
My personal experiences living in a few haunted houses have shown me that it doesn’t matter one HOOT whether it’s night or day to them. Most of my experiences have been daytime events. (Of course I may have slept through all the astral wild parties at night.)
It seems to me we could save a ton of money on night-vision equipment and go daytime solar and still catch evidence. Alas, we’d be giving up the scare factor… Ultimately, we all want to get freaked out.
Adrenalin rushes are good exercise.

As a rune fan, I highly recommend it!
I just finished a really cool book… Spook – Science Tackles the Afterlife by Mary Roach. It should find its way onto everyone’s nightstand reading pile.
Mary Roach takes a hard look at the paranormal from all aspects, exploring the science (or non-science) of ghost hunting, psychic, quantum, ectoplasmic and even near death experience. Her sense of humor pointedly illuminates the shortfalls of what we come to believe as “proof” of ghosts or hauntings.
In no way does she completely tear down the field of paranormal research, however she forces us to really take a hard look at what we consider evidence. Our methods perhaps need more meat behind them to be considered accurate ways to detecting spirit activity, etc.
Personally, the field needs refinement. We head out on a wing and a prayer that electromagnetic energy is an indication of spirit activity, when we really don’t know that for sure. Are the electronic voice phenomena we pick up from disembodied spirits or some radio show in Outer Mongolia?
It doesn’t hurt to hard line a bit. I tend to be open-minded about most things… perhaps too accepting at times. However, one doesn’t want to close the doors to the unknown to the point where we do not recognize it. There is a balance that needs to be established.
Can we prove the spiritual through the physical? So far, I have my doubts. The spiritual is whatever the physical is not from what we have gathered. To bring physical science into a position of proof, may prove impossible. Yet, we may be on the cusp of a new level of understanding that goes beyond science.
Either way, this is an amazing point to be at this time. We are on the verge of discovery. It’s part of the journey, so let’s enjoy it!
