Often, it seems as if ghosts’ sense of time – that is, how much has passed since they died – is skewed. Here’s an interesting (and geeky) study about how we perceive time. It could be important. It may affect ghost hunting, and how we communicate with spirits. Basically, this study shows that time seems…

When Hauntings Go Far Past “Residual Energy”
How can we explain angry ghosts, and when intense hauntings go far past “residual energy”? And what can we do about it, as ghost hunters? The topic of residual energy hauntings isn’t new, but – this week, when Chris Williams referenced them at my Facebook Page – I thought he made a good point. In…
Ghost Hunting and Science
This will be brief, because it’s far too easy for me to shift into geek mode when I’m talking about paranormal phenomena. Many hard core skeptics demand “proof” of ghosts and hauntings. Often, they’re the same ones clinging to outdated Newtonian physics, where everything can be documented in cause-and-effect terms. If they use a trigger…
Telepathy and Ghost Hunting
Telepathy and ghost hunting – Can one affect the other? It might. That doesn’t mean it does, but I think we need to keep an open mind. Apparently, I’m not the only one to consider this. If, like me, you’re studying ghost hunting academically, Peter Underwood’s research should be part of that. In the 1986…
Are Ghosts Dead? Louis L’Amour’s Questions
This quote from Louis L’Amour resonated with me on many levels. Really… are ghosts dead, or is something else going on? If you believe quantum theories about parallel realities, it’s easy to see a connection. And, as both a ghost hunter and an admitted geek, I kind of love speculation about this. I’ve talked about…
Consider The Ghosts’ Contexts
I’m about to say something radical. I believe that some active hauntings aren’t ghosts, but a brush with another time period… a time in which the person is still alive. Radical? Yes., but it’s not an original theory. (I’ve written an article, Were the Ghosts of Dickens’ Christmas Carol Real? In it, I describe Shelley’s…
