Biometrics of Paranormal Activity


While the existence of the human “soul” in the religious sense is yet to receive a proper scientific proof, there are some extracorporeal phenomena attributable to humans that can be detected using means that are quite scientific. These phenomena relate to heat and bioelectric emissions of a human body. While the heat detection is pretty straightforward – any infrared camera would do, the electric activity imaging is much more complicated. The most impressive method of capturing it in a graphic format is the Bioelectrography or the Kirlian photography [1]. It is able to catch the unique bioelectric emission signature of a human (or any other) body.

But what if I tell you that these events can be observed without an actual body anywhere to be found! The ghost busters of today use a wide array of tools to detect and identify ghosts, specters and wraiths of every sort. Moreover, the most widely used tools are the infrared cameras and EMF detectors which are tools designed detect fluctuations in magnetic, electric and radio/microwave energy levels [2]. Curiously, as you can see these are in essence the same tools you would use to identify a living human, should you choose emission methods of authentication.

So, you bought your first ghost busting kit and are ready for some late night spooky action. What should you expect? Well, the main types of ghosts are Human, Animal, Vehicles and Orbs [3]. Typically, they manifest themselves by sudden temperature fluctuations and spikes in electric and magnetic activity.  As a proper scientist you must carefully record your observations and try not to lose your stuff while running! Sorry, strategically retreating - scientists do not run in panic...
