If you break down all matter to its smallest particles, you will find that any physical substance, organic or otherwise, can be reduced to electrical particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons). All electrical charges are surrounded by a magnetic field. Together, these electrical charges and magnetic fields create electromagnetic energy. Therefore, all of physical reality is surrounded and permeated by an electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic fields are commonly called EMFs.

In most houses, the highest EMF readings are caused by electrical equipment. EMF meters can easily detect these energy fields around electrical equipment. For example, televisions, light bulbs, computers, and everything with electrical wiring produces artificial EMFs. It’s easy to identify these fields, since they stay constant and are always around the wiring that causes them. However, in haunted places, the EMFs found can be very different.

At a haunted location, distinct, erratic, fluctuating EMFs are commonly found. It seems these energy fields have some definite connection to the presence of ghosts. The exact nature of that connection is still a mystery. However, the anomalous fields are easy to find. Whenever you locate one, a ghost might be present, although the environmental conditions will not allow the specter to appear to the naked human senses. When you find a strange, inconsistent EMF, that’s a great time to make a photo of the area. The developed print may show an apparition. Any other type of ghost detection, be it in the visual/audio, or other realms, is usually also most successful when these strange EMFs are present.

This meter serves as an excellent introduction to ghost detection equipment. Since it will easily allow you to pick up the fields from household appliances and other artificial sources, the first thing you want to do is rule them out. Then, any erratic EMF fluctuations you may detect, especially between 0 and 1 milliGauss (with the side button pressed continuously) may indicate ghostly activity. As you can see from the standard instructions, the meter detects 0-10 mG in normal mode and .10-1 mG with the side button pressed.

There is an invisible world all around us. Currently, there exists no device that can conclusively detect ghosts. However, the EMF meter may be one of the closest tools we have. Once you become comfortable using it, you’ll be amazed by the EMF anomalies that surround us every day!
