As it says on the back cover of the book, a twelfth century Gilbertine priory, a Chrysler car factory, a de-sanctified church and a Georgian period lavatory are just a few of the haunted localities from the case files of 1970s ghost buster Tony Broughall. Read More »
The Cerne Abbas Giant or the 'Rude Man' is one of the largest hillfigures in Britain, he (the figure's gender is beyond doubt) is one of two representations of the human form, the other being the Long Man of Wilmington in East Sussex. The giant, carved in solid lines from the chalk bedrock measures in at 180 feet high, and carries a huge knobbled club, which measures 120 feet in length. Read More »
Do you mean an EMF meter? What are you planning to do with it?
Yes, it detects high frequency? lets you know if something sub-normal is there dose'nt it?
It does all really depend on what your using it for. If you want to do a basic EMF survey of a location fine, but regardless to what is shown on TV they aren't really much use in investigations and do not tell you if something strange is happening.
thanks, is there a device I can use to tell me if there are any strange going on's?
Well nobody knows what ghosts are, so there not any devices available that can detect, track or measure ghosts.
so whats all the equipment that these ghost hunters use then?
and as the old saying goes if u dont ask u wont find out!
I have first hand experience of seeing a spirit many years ago, though I have not seen any in my old house, before I sell it I just thought that the EMF meter would of given me some idea? but as u say thats no good!
thanks for your help anyhow.
There are theories that EMF's may be related to haunting type phenomena as some weak complex fields may have an effect on the brain inducing an experience. This would only effect a certain percentage of the population and the hand held meters cannot really measure these fields as they are not good enough. If you do get the right kit to measure these, the analysis of the data would take weeks probably and that is if you know what you are looking at.
Most ghosthunters have picked up on the idea that EMFs may be related and you see many of these hand held devices, especially on TV. It looks good to a machine that flashes or beeps and helps viewing figures.
Thanks for your help and saving me money. nemo
There's an article about whether EMF meters can be used as ghost detectors at http://www.assap.org/newsite/articles/Ghosts%20EMF%20meters%20and%20base...
