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. I’m not certain that’s true.

Let’s assume that humans have at least two parts: a physical body and a spiritual presence. The latter lives on, perhaps as a ghost, after the physical body ceases to support the spirit.

The human body contains some measurable electrical charge, and some people believe that it responds to magnets. However, even on the highest setting, EMF meters rarely measure any significant energy spikes caused by a living human body… even a highly emotional one.

So, since a body + spirit does not emit significant EMF spikes — in contrast with what we detect in haunted places — why would ghosts create them?

There are only a few possible answers:

1. The body limits the spirit’s ability to generate electromagnetic energy.
2. A living person’s spirit is not entirely in the vicinity of his or her body. When the spirit becomes whole after the body dies, it regains its power… literally. That increased power is measured as EMF energy.
3. The EMF spikes that we measure at haunted sites aren’t energy emanating from the ghosts, but from “the other side” as portals open for the ghosts to pass through, into our world.

We don’t have enough evidence to conclude anything with certainty, but I’m guessing that EMF spikes indicate open portals.  I’ve talked about this before.  I’m basing that idea on recent studies in quantum physics, especially related to gravity.

Physicists know that gravity is leaking into our world or out of it. No one is sure where the leaks are, or if they’re uniform across the unified field (the reality, world, universe, or “side”) that we inhabit.

If there are parallel universes (as most physicists seem to suspect), openings that occur between the worlds may involve a shift of energy, or a transference of energy from one side to the other.

Though I’m admittedly building on speculation, it seems logical that the EMF spikes indicate open portals or doorways between the worlds. The EMF levels that we measure in haunted places aren’t the product of the ghosts, per se, but the result of the doorway that they’ve crossed through.

Of course, if that’s true, it leads to another puzzle: If ghosts are passing through a doorway or portal, it means that they’re not trapped here. In fact, they’re “crossing” back and forth regularly.

I’m not sure where this theory leads, but I think it’s important to rethink and explore concepts related to why we have EMF spikes in haunted locations.
