Paranormal Investigationis
"Inquisitio paranormalis" facta prioribus verbis praefertur, ut "inquisitio spiritus," "vestigatio spiritus" et "venatio spiritus." Investigatio paranormalis latior est quam spectra et Hauntings et extenditur ad visiones arcanarum creaturarum, actionis daemonum, secretorum locorum, etiam visionum UFO.
Historical Overview
Investigationes paranormales tam scientificas quam psychicae aditus comprehendunt.
Indagatores aestimant maiorem omnium relationum phaenomenorum frequentandi explicationes naturales habere, sicut praestigias lucis et umbrae, condiciones atmosphaericas peculiares, influxus geomagneticae vel electromagneticae vel crepitus animalis. Aliquot casus exponuntur sicut fraus. Ceteri casus in agentibus humanis versari videntur, praesertim casus poltergeistae, in quibus phaenomena Psychokinesis inscii causantur (PK).
Investigationes scientificae de paranormalibus exeunte saeculo XIX exeunte bene constitutae sunt propter phaenomenorum Spiritualismi. Investigatio psychica praesertim in phaenomena physicae Mediationis tendit. Investigatio gravis testimonio testium innitebatur; phisici sessores apud Seances facti sunt. Maximi argumenti etiam imagines includuntur, quod spiritus consequat.
Parapsychologia, quae ex inquisitione psychica evoluta est, in protocolla scientifica observata sub condicione laboratorium moderata studiorum PSI, somniorum, et psychokinesis et regionum affinium incubuit. Phaenomena psychica difficile sunt in demanda replicare.
Tam docti quam laici versantur in investigationibus larvarum, apparitionum, poltergeistarum et deverticula. Usque ad saeculum exeunte saeculo XX, artificia adhuc gravia erant in observatione et testificatione personalium colloquiorum, consequat et mensurarum simplicium physicarum proprietatum, sicut caliditas, humiditas, et alia huiusmodi. Societas Psychical Investigatio (SPR), London, normas investigationum instituit, cum effectibus in quinque classificationes diviso: 1) motus obiectorum inexplicabilis; 2) inexplicabiles voces (including voces et musicam) et odores; 3) apparitiones, lumina arcana, et umbrae; 4) inexplicabilem tactum, impulsum, et affectiones caloris et frigoris; et 5) timoris, horroris, taedii et invisibilis praesentiae affectus.
In 1990, natura investigationis paranormalis dramatically mutatur. Latius amplitudo GENERALIS, summus technicae instrumenti plures homines ad investigationes urbanas suscipiendas permiserunt. Et favore larvarum et lustra laicorum indagatores agmina increbuerunt. Multi investigatores in coetus ordinantur et suas rationes explicaverunt.
Characteres inquisitionis
Indagator bonus debet esse obscurus in promptu et inspicere primum causas naturales omnium possibilium. Haec in duas classes, mechanicam et personalem cadunt. Causae mechanicae includunt machinis vibrationes et lumina, strepitus viarum, fontes electromagneticos et electricas, et similia. Causae personales sunt homines. Puta posset aliquis nesciens crepitum facere floorboards et phantasmata ascribere strepitum. Quidam industria phaenomena dolos creant.
Causae potentiales circumscriptis diligentem situs inquisitionem requirit. Optime indagatores tam die quam nocte visitare plures debent ad lumina naturalia, umbras et strepitus determinare. Tabulae consulendae sunt ut culpae linearum, potentiarum linearum, fluminum subterranei, cuniculorum, cuniculorum, etc., ut respondeant.
Investigatores etiam debent investigationem facere historicam, sicut circa res in diariis, periodicis, documentis regiminis conscripta; conditiones geologicae; et constructio actionis.
Tres artes fundamentales inquisitivae adhibentur: descriptio, experimenta, detectio.
Descriptio
involvit personalem observationem et oculatus testis rationes. Testes separatim adierunt ad vitandum rationes alterius influentes. Praeter singulares experientiae, testes rogantur ut informationes de eorum adiunctis, de salute, deque animi statibus cognoscant; praevia scientia, si qua similia sunt; et quascunque experientias seu operationes occultas paranormales praevie. Indagatores prae oculis habere debent in experientiae refectione, omnes testes eandem experientiam longe aliter videre.
Experimentum
involvit psychicam vel Medium ad videndum an eius impressiones talliam cum oculatorum testium spectet et tabulatum domus notare vel aedificium ostendere maculas ubi frequentationes acciderunt, secundum eorum sensus "frigidos macularum" (solent areolas frigidas. ) et impressiones clarorum. Opiniones circa mediorum usum variant. Nonnulli indagatores leves eas putant et malunt turpia investigationes unice in instrumento data. Sed psychici et medii possunt singula et informationes praebere quae in monumentis investigari possunt.
Deprehensio
ars implicat tales processuum ut conclavia et obiecta ad eorum perturbationem experiendam; instauratio instrumentorum electronicarum custodiae (cameras et camcorders, commentariis, sensoriis temperatus, calculis Geiger, metris campi electromagneticis, scelestis scannariis, lasers, etc.). Simpliciores deprehendendi modi sunt diffusio farinae, salis, vel pulveris in superficiebus ad videndum si turbentur. Lectiones instructae adiuvare possunt ad relationes anecdotas convalidandas. Exempli causa, locus frigidissimus in conclavi vacari dicitur, cum notitia documentorum esse potest. Photography and Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) magni momenti sunt. Sed nimia fiducia in machinis potest factores ambitus naturales ostendere et factores non paranormales.
Usus summus Technology Tools
Scientistae qui phaenomena mediaturae studuerunt variis instrumentis technologicis adhibitis praeter cameras. Anno 1870, Sir William Crookes speciali artificio usus est ad temptandum effectus physices effectus a DD Home et aliis mediis metiendis. Anno 1930, Eugenius Osty usus est instrumentis ultrarubri et ultraviolet specialiter designatis in sedibus cum Rudi Schneider (vide Schneider Brothers).
Inquisitionis summus technicus initium in Anglia obtinuit. Harrius Price inter prima fuit ut modernis technicis in investigationibus larvalibus uteretur, quarum celeberrima erat Borley Rectoria in Anglia. Pretium rectoriam dimisit et laboratorium creavit. Perduxit probationes cum 48 voluntariis, adhibitis modernis technologicis temporis: sensit overshoes, taenia ferrea, chordas, campanas electricas (ad motus deprehensio), cameram pelliculam, cameram pellicularum remotam, mercurialem (deprehensionem vibrationum) , apparatum fingere, telescopium, telephonium portatile, creta et alia. Pretium adhuc manes existentiam probare non potui. Scripsit de investigatione in The Most Haunted House in England (1940). Aliquot annis post mortem eius critici contenderunt se data et facta tractasse.
Aliquae investigationum fundamentalium notabiliter mutatae sunt per annos: libello et calamo, lampadio et extra batteries, instrumentum parvum, ornamentum, taenia mensura, tape colorata ad loca notanda, cinematographica vel digitalis camera, camcorder, digitale vel taenia, et circino circumdo. . Calces aliae sunt duae radios ad communicandum cum aliis sodalibus iunctis, virgas dorsationes vel pendulas. Quantitas substantialis notitiarum simplicibus calces obtineri potest.
Gravissimi inquisitores laici etiam quidam utuntur, sed non necessario omnes, qui sequuntur;
• campus electromagneticus (EMF) detector, machina quae agros magneticos mensurat (sunt diversa genera metrorum EMF, quorum pros et cons ab exploratoribus disputantur)
• Thermometrum Digitalis pro ieiunium et sensitivum temperatura
• Field vi metrica, quae radiorum exemplaria antennis observat
• noctem visio scopes et goggles
• humiditas relativa METIOR, pro mensurae mutationes in aere
• Negative ion generans, quod quidam inquisitores credunt, attrahit umbras
• Negative ion detector, ad inveniendas areas in negativas, vel liberas, iones inveniendas et explicabiles fontes patefacit
• Geiger calculus , qui radialem detegit ac etiam phaenomena quaedam anomala
• Tremolo metrum, vox accentus analystor utilis ad testes conuentos, qui possibilia fraudes detegere possunt
• Scelerisque imago camera
• motus detector
• Oscilloscope ad mensurandum electrica voltage
• velit ut computatrum imperium centrum
• Video monitores pro remotis viewing
Sicut antea inquisitores, aliqui moderni inquisitores speciale instrumentum suum designant. GRS multiplicem apparatum habeat curriculum a computatro nomine GEIST, vocabulum germanicum pro phasmate. GEIST pro Geophysice instructus Instrumenti Scientific Testis. Computatorium laptop et capsula saepimentum ad varias machinas aduncum sunt: metrum geiger, EMF metrum, negatio detector, ultraviolaceum et detectores ultrarubrum, temperatura sensorem et cameram. Quandocumque machinatio reducitur, camera picturam frangit. Omnis eventus automatice in ferrea computatrum coegi. GEIST automatice post unumquemque eventum se ipsum reset potest. GRS indagatores domum vel ambitum monere possunt sine ullo inquisitore praesente. Indagatores videre possunt quae ratio abiit et quando. GEIST continuas emendationes cum progressibus technologicis patitur.
Similiter Iosue P. Warren utitur "Pc paranormal" computatro ad septem metra adunco quae monitorem diversarum regionum notitiarum.
Parapsychologus TONY CORNELL et Howard Wilkinson machinam in MCMLXXXII nomine ARIDANUS (spontanea Psychophysica Incidentia Data Electronic recordator), ordinata camerarum ad sensorem temperatum aduncum. Tortor felis consequat in diam. Donec varius sagittis efficitur.
Parapsychologus MICHAELEEN MAHER "Demon Detector" computatro ad numerum temere generante connexum usus est, qui manipulationem ignotis fontibus deprehendere conatur.
Cum camerae digitales popularitatem obtinuerint, multi investigatores usum suum improbaverunt, contendentes se ORBS facile creasse, falli pro phaenomenis paranormalibus, et instrumenta facilia ad imagines fictas erant. Plerique indagatores vel switched ad digitales vel ad cameras digitales cinematographicas utuntur. Digital camerae qualitatem emendaverunt et etiam informationes in imaginibus infixas habent, quae fraudem difficiliorem faciunt.
Plerique indagatores digitales potius quam machinae magnetophonicae ad EVP utuntur, vel utroque utuntur.
Elementa investigationis
Singuli et coetus suos praelatos modos explicant, sed rationes fundamentales maxime sequuntur. Primo quidem, secundum praemissa inquisitione. Singulus qui refert haunting adierunt. Pluries casus potentiales hoc modo inhabiles esse possunt. Visitatio praevia fieri potest ad locum ad factores physicos et geophysicos reprehendo. Indagatores tabulas situum et tabulatorum faciunt consilia.
Consilium Inquisitionis confectum est. Multi iuncti malunt numeros suos parvos usque ad sex vel octo homines servare. Quo maior coetus, eo gravius inquisitionem regere et casus notitiae capiendae minui potest. Si vigilia vel vigilia exspiravit suscipitur - plerumque noctis observatio sessio perdurans per aliquot horas vel per totam noctem — manipulus in paria certis officiis dividitur. Scripta monumenta servantur.
Si psychica participat, psychica locum primum ingredi potest ad obtinendas impressiones quae utiles sint ad inserendum apparatum vel ad investigationem informationum. Interdum psychici ad locum Séances perducunt.
Interdum circumstantiae explorationem promovere non permittunt, et coetus primam visitationem ad locum ipsum custodiae facit.
Eventus resolvuntur et communicantur cum singulis quaerentibus inquisitionem. Aliquando circulos apertos explorare, loca publica pro data collectione sua.
Equipment used in our Investigations
We use a variety of gear & varies upon location & problems mentioned by client. Various entities will respond to specific gear while others may get picked up on others
Video
8-Channel Digital Video Recorder System - This system is used to connect each of our infrared (night vision) cameras. These cameras are stationed in various areas throughout a location to record video onto a digital video recorder, which can be reviewed for evidence during the investigation or at a later time.
Full-Spectrum Camcorders/Full-Spectrum Lights/IR Lights - Several of our camcorders can record in both Full-Spectrum Lighting and Infrared Lighting
(or night vision).
During an investigation, these light settings will assist us in recording different spectrums of light that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Full Spectrum Action Camera - Similar to a GoPro, this camcorder is smaller and modified to record in full spectrum. It can be used both as a handheld and a stationary camera.
Regular Light Camcorder - This is a regular camcorder that can record in visible light throughout our investigations.
Xavee 108-LED IR Illuminator - This illuminator features 108 LED lights, providing infrared lighting for stationary cameras up to 150 feet, which can be useful for larger rooms or long corridors. The illuminator is mounted onto a tripod with a stationary camcorder.
Audio
Digital Voice Recorders - Our team uses a variety of digital voice recorders. Because each recorder has its own level of frequency, we believe it's essential to use various makes and models, which allow us to capture EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) that may occur at one specific frequency but not another.
ITC Devices
TC Devices, also known as Instrumental Transcommunication Devices, are devices that utilize various methods to facilitate real-time communication with spirits.
SB-7 Spirit Box/External Speaker - The SB-7 spirit box is a device that cycles through AM or FM radio frequencies to create white noise. It is theorized that spirits can communicate through this white noise and can be heard in real-time thus allowing for conversations to take place audibly. The radio frequencies can be adjusted for AM, FM, forward and reverse and for a number of speeds.
SB-11 Spirit Box/Speaker - The SB-11 functions similarly to the SB-7 although it adds a 2nd cycle of radio frequencies to allow for additional white noise to be used and communicated through.
EMF Detectors
Spirits are said to both emit and utilize electromagnetic fields, or EMFs. Based on this theory, our team uses various instruments designed to detect and measure electromagnetic fields (EMF) and changes in EMF in the environment.
Mel Meter - The Mel Meter serves two main functions: (1) detects EMF (electromagnetic fields) in the environment and (2) provides current temperature readings. We use the model MEL-8704-R as a handheld device to monitor fluctuations or changes in both EMF and temperature.
Trip Wire - This device has become the team's most popular item used on each investigation. The wire is equipped with 10 EMF sensors, spaced 14 inches apart, that illuminate in various colors when they detect a change in the room's magnetic field. Our team has used this device to help detect when a spirit is moving within the room being investigated, as well as answering questions asked by lighting up the device based on the determined response to yes or no.
EDI Meter/EDI+ Meter - This device simultaneously measures changes in EMF and temperature, and utilizes a built-in geophone to detect vibrations, providing both visual and auditory alarms to indicate changes. This can be used to demonstrate a presence when changes are observed in all three gauges on the meter simultaneously. The newer version, the EDI+, provides recording of readings and, in addition to the EDI Meter, the EDI+ includes Air Pressure and Humidity readings.
K2 Meter - The K2 meter is a controversial piece of equipment in paranormal investigations as it measures EMF; however, it is easily set off and can give erroneous readings. For this reason, we use the K2 Meter in conjunction with our Mel Meters and EDI meter. If we are getting multiple abnormal readings on multiple pieces of equipment, then this holds more weight than just using a K2 meter.
Dead Bell - The Dead Bell is a newer item added to our investigations. Used to detect energy shifts, this device was created with a 'natural' magnet that allows the device to differentiate between the energy of a spirit vs energy generated by other electronic devices, such as a walkie-talkie, thereby allowing for more confirmed contact with a spirit. When an EMF change is detected, the bell will ring, similar to a bell found at a front desk of a hotel.
REM Pod - The REM Pod is a circular device with an antenna. When the antenna is extended, it generates its own field, and when broken, it will alarm and illuminate. This device has been helpful in communicating and documenting the presence of activity.
Motion Detectors
Motion Alarm - Typically used as a security device, the motion alarm gives an audible sound when something passes in front of it, such as a spirit. The sound of the motion alarm can be set as a small chime or a loud alarm, depending on the location of the investigators.
Music Box - A favorite tool among our team and event guests, this device is more than just a typical motion detector. Shooting out 10 feet, in a ray-like position, the sensor (located in front of the music box) detects the presence of something passing by, registers the temperature of the presence, and signals the music box to play a song.
Spirit Balls - Spirit balls (or cat toys, as some refer to them) are motion-activated toys that illuminate in multiple colors when touched or rolled. These items are among the team's most popular devices, used when investigating locations that require minimal equipment or housing children's spirits.
Other Equipment
GS2 Laser Grid - This device is used for motion detection and environmental changes, and can be positioned on a tripod or used independently. The device will conduct a baseline reading of the room. It will provide alerts when detecting motion and/or temperature fluctuations, as well as give the distance and direction of the spirit in the room.
Shadow Detector - This device measures a light field; when a shadow breaks that light field, an LED light turns on, alerting to shadow movement. This can be used to detect movement of an entity or a shadow figure in a given area.
Static Detector - This device measures changes in both positive and negative static electricity. When negative static increases, the LED light dims, and when positive static increases, the LED light brightens. This is another tool to measure energy changes that may occur when spirits are present.
Quad - 3 pieces of equipment rolled into one; this tool detects EMF changes, temperature fluctuations, and vibrations. Most often placed onto a hard surface, this piece of equipment can detect very subtle changes in the environment and the smallest of vibrations due to its high sensitivity. This can be used to detect both unheard and heard footsteps and can be used to attempt to elicit communication through touching or tapping on the device.
2-Way Radios - Our team utilizes 2-way radios as a means of staying in communication while setting up equipment for an investigation and throughout the investigation. It is an invaluable tool that allows us to decipher potential evidence and keep constant contact for the safety of our team.
