Things to consider before anyone makes a determination about the paranormal, whether it concerns ghosts, cryptids, aliens or hauntings, telepathy, psychic abilities or the possibility of mediumship - What are the possible chances the brain is able to operate in the paranormal realm? Maybe this is why things thought to be paranormal are just our brains operating in some mode yet undiscovered or not understood yet. Others, may have psychological problems. One example many consider paranormal is dowsing. Some researchers have written about wild examples of success by dowsing! Petroleum companies are reported to have employ dowsers! During the Vietnam War, dowsing was used by some US troops to locate tunnels and enemy supplies!
Conducting paranormal investigations can be a challenge, research into the subject even more so when you look into the subjects and sources. Some information can be very biased, pro and con. Physics, as we know it, may or may not apply to the paranormal. Presently there are no meters to measure ghosts; however, we can measure and monitor effects on the environment. Equipment like EMF detectors, thermometers, cameras, audio and video recorders are just a few items used to capture and gauge these effects. What we can say is that they occupy space and seem to be made of some sort of energy. Ghosts appear to be able to cause disturbances by manipulating electromagnetic fields detected with some EMF detectors. One must also learn the "pros and cons " of their equipment. How it repsonds in the environment it's in. Cause and effects.
When someone walks into a room of forty degrees Farenheit temperature, his or her body heat will raise the temperature by a small fraction, and can only to be detected with the right equipment. Likewise, there are fluctuations in paranormal environments that we should be able to measure with the right equipment and tools.
It should be noted that several hundred years ago science taught that the world was flat. People of those times didn't understand how the rain fell from the sky or lightning flashed. Today, we are able to harness electricity and use it as an energy source because people studied these occurrences. Perhaps research in the paranormal field in the future will have a breakthrough and we will be able to scientifically determine "what are ghosts" and cryptids! Until that time PROS, with our fellow researchers, will continue to study these anomalies called "ghosts," and other paranormal entities and events.
Keep in mind not everything is black and white. Maybe the truth lies inside shades of gray.
