We can always tell when we’ve hit a nerve with one of our articles. There’s a dramatic spike in unfounded rants from skeptics. We’ve shaken their complacency.
That tells us to continue our research in that area. The more controversy, the fewer established facts or answers. There may be something useful for [...]

To find ghosts and haunted places, many ghost hunters look for unexplained spikes in electromagnetic fields (EMF). These spikes can be detected with EMF meters, hiking compasses and other measuring devices that respond to electrical and/or magnetic energy.
However, many researchers — especially new ghost hunters — think that the ghosts themselves create the EMF energy. [...]

In a recent Colorado article about the haunted Tower of London, the writer talked about a Tower watchman who saw two ghostly figures. When the two figures vanished, the watchman wondered, ‘‘Was the past seeing the future or the future seeing the past?’’
That’s a good question.
When we encounter a ghost that’s not simply stored, residual [...]

A news story caught my attention today. There’s a movement to reclassify encounters with UFOs as “normal,” in psychiatric terms. I’m not sure how serious this movement is, but it’s worth noting.
Those of us who encounter paranormal phenomenon often preface our stories by saying, “I know how crazy this sounds, but…” I do it myself, [...]

 
This isn’t exactly about ghosts, but an action poem by Billy Collins is a good starting point for discussions about the dead (aka ghosts, spirits, or those who’ve crossed over): the dead.

Having encountered many spirits, I interpret spirits’ reactions to us in terms of how they probably were in life.
I mean, they’re still the same [...]

Are you familiar with recent discoveries in physics?
There are two leading theories about gravity.

It’s leaking into our universe, or
It’s leaking out of our universe.

In both cases, physicists already agree that there are parallel universes.
So, how does that apply to ghost hunting…? Here’s how: The same “leaking” between universes might explain the elevated EMF readings [...]

Something’s going on. People are encountering stranger ghost manifestations, and more of them. Also, they’re reporting things that are far from “routine” hauntings.
COCOANUT GROVE
The first thing I noticed was at the site of the old Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston, Massachusetts. We were there on a brilliantly sunny day in June, but noted EMF readings [...]

Last night on the History Channel, I watched a program about USOs–Unidentified Submersed Objects. They’re like UFOs–and some of them fly in the air, too–but come from and/or return to somewhere deep in the ocean.
As ghost hunters, it’s important to be aware of other paranormal phenomena, so we more correctly categorize “something odd” when it [...]

This morning, when I was thinking about quantum physics, string theory.
(Yes, some of us are admittedly geeky about ghost hunting.)
Physics has vast applications to ghost hunting, and opens many doors to our research.  Today, I’m thinking about molecules and the ways some ghosts interact with our world.
In a nutshell, I’m speculating that ghosts’ bodies (or [...]
