Ever notice?


While watching paranormal television, did you ever notice that no matter what color of hair people have in the daylight that everyone is Blond(e) on IR©? Literally.

I have.

Further, I noticed that the majority of paranormal research, especially as it is portrayed on television, follows an assumption based investigation model. And you know what happens when you assume...

Please pay attention to the next television show that you watch or the next investigation that you conduct. Did you assume? Bet you did. Did you acknowledge the assumption before formulating a conclusion? Bet you didn’t. I know I am guilty of it.

Guess that makes us all figuratively Blond(e) on IR©.

What I need to do right now (and I would love if you do the same) is take a step back and test as many assumptions that means will allow.

I expect to post my experiments and findings here. Please contact me with any research you have completed.

And yes, I am a blonde.

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane…

We are heading to New Orleans. Beignets and ghost hunting! We hope to complete several trials while we are in “Naw-leens”.

EVP: Experimental Procedure

 

The experimental procedure:

·         Set up the Faraday cage.

·         Place one audio cable in CONT’s microphone jack.

·         Place one audio cable in VAR 2’s microphone jack.

·         Fill out basic information on your tracking sheet such as:

o    Recorder number and its variable group (CONT, VAR1, VAR2, VAR3).

o    Location, starting time, and starting atmospheric conditions.

·         Start all four recorders.

·         Place CONT and VAR 1 in the Faraday cage.

·         Place VAR 2 and VAR 3 in the same general area.

·         Conduct one or two 15 minute EVP session(s) with the fixed set of questions. Eventually I will figure out how to post the questions.  

·         Monitor the changes in barometric readings and/or temperature. SOLAR activity, Seismic

·         Read each question thirty seconds apart.

·         Conduct evidence review.

·         Record findings.

·         Repeat as often as possible across many locations where paranormal investigators claim to have captured EVPs.

 

Since two of our recorders will not have sound we will use a fixed set of questions. Each question will be spaced thirty seconds apart from the next. If we receive a response on the sound disabled recorders we will know the question! The thirty seconds will be used to record variations in atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure), if any.

Remember the peanut butter and jelly sandwich game? How did we do?

Two weddings and a special event

 

We have not forgotten! Two weddings and a special event later, we retuned to the the experiment.

Whew!
