“Ghosts can be experienced on a multi-sensory level. While you might not be able to see a ghostly presence, you may be able to feel a slight chill pass across your skin; a prickling on the back of your neck; strange noises and things that go bump in the night; or even walk into an empty room and smell a foreign scent such as flowers, or the whisper of a long ago smoked cigar. All of these events can be indicative of a ghostly presence and many of these events can be captured using audio and videotaping, or electrical energy readers. As our technology increases, so does our ability to sense those things around us that are not always visible.”

Ghosts don’t inhabit a whole room and they are very capable of moving out of the way once they have detected your presence. If you find your readings are short-lived, try moving the equipment slowly around the room until you pick up the presence again.”
