I would simply like to take a few moments to discuss the idea of using paranormal equipment while investigating.

Personally, I think all of these devices we have seen come out over the years are fascinating and a wonderful way to record certain events that are much easier to understand using these tools. I myself have become rather addicted to the EVP recordings that capture so much more going on than the normal ear, or even that inner ear that some people have, which in my own experience you always question no matter how long you’ve been accustom to it.

Listening to these recordings can even be a little spooky at times, which is preposterous really! I have actually spoken with a being, heard them speak and been perfectly at ease, recorded the session and then played back the recording a felt spooked! Perhaps it’s something about the way it sounds when being played back, not always identical to what you hear in tone of voice. In any case, it is a great way for those who feel like they may be going a bit mad to give themselves something to drag into good old daylight and I approve.

The pictures of ghosts I have seen and the few I have taken myself are a bit more difficult. So much can be done with photos these days that unless you were actually present you almost never believe what you’re seeing. I still think it’s a great idea however if only for your own experience to snap photos whenever you can.

Other devices that measure temperature, magnetic fields and other fluctuations in the surrounding area can also be quite useful and great deal of fun. Though many don’t feel comfortable with them I also believe that spirits boards and other tools of communication can also be a great way to interact with the paranormal and an excellent way to get more comfortable with the idea in general.

That said, I must give a word of advice about using such items. These things may help greatly when investigating, but they do not offer proof of anything more than that there are events taking place that are currently beyond our capabilities of explaining.

One person may have a snapshot of an orb that others refute while another has a voice recording that appears real enough, but isn’t. Or perhaps it’s all genuine, but no one can agree. Whatever the case may be it is vital that you do not ignore your own instincts and rely too heavily on such items alone. I say this because once you begin heading down that road where you absolutely need evidence and more importantly, answers, you may set something in motion that will disappoint continuously.

I have seen it many times. Those interested in the paranormal begin searching. At first they are delighted by sensing something, but they need to see something solid. They ask for the being to move an object, but once this achieved they need more. Having witnesses to such events seems as though it will be enough, but no, now it must be recorded. Once recorded many need the verification of others, experts in the field let us say, who can give their approval to the events authenticity.

In the end, all you have really achieved is that the standard for proof today has been met. This has not truly confirmed anything more than what we already knew thousands of years ago: paranormal events happen.

Now please understand, I am delighted with the tools of this age and hope to see more advancement in my lifetime. I do believe that such devices can help people communicate and better understand the paranormal world. My only warning is be ready to get comfortable with never being certain, otherwise you may drive yourself mad or at the very least suffer many disappointments. Someday we may yet have enough proof to feel certain about such things and in the mean time such tools are a gift in that they are allowing more and more people to get a glimpse into this side of our existence.  For this I am truly grateful to those who have helped these inventions come to life and hope to see more in the years to come.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.
