| Some simple explanations of the terms you might hear whilst investigating. |
| EVP Electronic Voice Phenomenon... A way of detecting a spirits voice by using a recording device. E.M.F meter, (Electro-Magnetic field meter) a device that can pick up electronic and magnetic fields,it will also detect any distortion within the normal range of electro-magnetic field. Orbs. These are thought to be globe shaped light energies which are said to be spirit. They can also be dust or Moisture, or even flies and moths! The ones to look twice at normally have some sort of cell structure within, even faces have clearly shown up. They often appear at the same time as a medium will be pointing and saying a spirit is in a particular place,or that they can feel a cold spot. We have caught several in previous investigations that have been red, blue and even a green one. The best ones (in our opinion) are caught on camcorder and can have some very erratic movements. Poltergeist. From the German word... Noisy ghost. This word covers.. Objects that are moved also phenomena such as lights being turned on or off, banging, thumping by an unseen force. Trigger Object. An object like a coin or a cross placed on a piece of paper and the outline drawn, set in a locked off /sealed room, to see if spirit move the object. Also done with talcum powder/flour to see if fingerprints or footprints are left from spirit. Residual The energies left behind of previous occupants, a bit like a tape recording of the past recorded into the ground / bricks of the location. It is very important to realise that the methods below for contacting spirit are perfectly safe when used with the right protection and a Medium who has knowledge in these ways , by using these methods & others, you can be inviting any spirit into our realms... They say even though we pass over our personalities remain the same, if you were an extremely nasty person on this side ,theres a good chance you might not have changed on the other side.. So please NEVER attempt any of these ways without a competent Medium present. Trance. This is when the medium allows a spirit to use their body to aid/pass on communication, some mediums remember exactly what has happened, where as others may not remember a thing. Possession - same as trance with the exception being that the medium has not given permission for the spirit to use their body. Scrying The art of staring deeply into a mirror, water, crystal ball in order to see an image that might appear. These images might be symbolic, or as seems to be in our mediums cases the image has been that of a spirit who's face seems to transfigure over their's. Seance, A group of people sitting in a circle holding hands and using all their energies to hopefully contact someone who has passed over. Response from spirit can be given as knocks and raps for yes and no answers, feelings can be transferred from spirit. Glass divination, A group of people sitting at a table with an upturned glass and the index finger lightly placed on the glass, asking questions to spirit the response being that spirit will move the glass. Ouija board, A way of communicating with spirit using a board with the alphabet around the edges and a yes and no and a planchette which you place a finger on. The spirit will hopefully spell out with the aid of this board any replies to questions asked by the group around the table... Like glass divination but with a board and planchette (pointer). Table tipping. Again a group of people around a table calling upon spirit to communicate by moving the table in response For these last two you don't need a medium! Enjoyment/Fun . Hopefully this to be experienced by all on the investigation. Break. Time to chill out and wake up with coffee and food. These are a few things you might hear on an investigation, as always when in doubt please do ask. |
