Smudging
Smudging: A New Age of Tomfoolery
By John Nopaosak
Because the paranormal exists in all of the cultures of the world, it is only fitting that the plethora of cultures should also contribute some mystical and magical method of dealing with said phenomena. As far as I am concerned, since there is no scientific basis for ghostly encounters in the first place we should all feel free to try anything once, and most paranormal groups have. We use all sorts of meters, devices and superstitions to increase our chances at capturing the ultimate in phantasmic evidence. While trying anything is certainly an acceptable strategy for covering all of the bases, my suggestion is always to know what you are getting; especially if you paid for it.
One of the most common suggestions for ridding oneself of ghosts has always been to burn some sage in your room. The application of the sage varies from placing it in a shell or pot and letting it smoulder to fanning it with an eagle feather into the four corners of your room. No doubt this practice has its roots in Native American mythology. American Indians tend to be the “Sam’s Club” of the paranormal. We spit out lake monsters, Bigfoot, little people of the forest, giant birds who feast on thunder, you name it, and we got it at a bargain. But is smudging smoke really a good method for removing ghosts?
False Orbs
False Orb Experiment
By Rich
Purpose
The false orb experiment is intended to offer a large selection of non-paranormal orb pictures, descriptions, and production methods. A large array of reference images will be very helpful for determining potential authentic paranormal orb images. The experiment will give information on what caused the false orb. Descriptions of how the orbs were produced is also available for people who want to repeat the experiment themselves to see if their results match.
Mel-8704 Pro Nav – Review
We recently acquired a Pro-Nav version of the Mel meter from Rusty of Haunted Downunder, the sole Australian distributor, and thought we’d see what this new meter can do.
The meter was designed with paranormal research in mind by Gary J. Galka of DAS Distribution and marketed through Pro Measure. The meter is named after Gary’s eldest daughter Melissa who passed away in 2004.
Gary’s intuitive approach to designing the meter shows heavily in its range of features and it’s also great to see that development is ongoing as new ideas are incorporated into updated models.
Although technically NOT the only instrument on the market able to simultaneously monitor EMF and temperature (many data loggers can do so with a range of sensors), it is without doubt the first to do so at such a low cost. But as far as dedicated EMF meters go, this is a first! The cost together with the fact the meter satisfies many of the paranormal investigator’s “wants” in a EMF meter, assures this will become one of the most popular units on the market.
