The Electrical Nature of Paranormal Activity

---

    Many instances of paranormal activity are characterized by disturbances in the behavior of electrical equipment. The
failure rate of cameras, flashlights, computers, and lights and other machines during these moments are beyond the range of
normal, especially considering when several items fail nearly simultaneously during such circumstances.

    One common tool for the ghosthunter is the EMF detector. This device detects fluctuations in the electromagnetic field.
Most household appliances or electrical outlets do not generally increase the fluctuation in the electromagnetic field (gauged
in milligauss units) to an extent that it sets off the EMF detector; televisions and computer monitors do, however, as do
power transformers. Fluctuations caused by these items are generally static and constant; they do not move around, and you
won't find them after the item has been removed. In many instances, investigators have discovered electromagnetic
fluctuations in areas of alleged paranormal activity where no logical source is present. These anomalous fluctuations are
fleeting, and usually within the 2-7 milligauss range.
