Recently, I've become a fan of Selena Spooky Boo on YouTube and TikTok. Her sleepwalking videos make me laugh so hard and I always need more laughter in my life. She started doing some videos with Call Me Chris, another TikTok YouTube creator I also find funny. Then, those two started doing ghost hunting videos with well-known ghost hunting YouTubers, Sam and Colby.
Long story short, I've gone down a ghost hunting rabbit hole. You all know me by now. I'm a skeptic, raised on the scientific method. Yet, I've always been drawn to anything mysterious and death-related, so it's pretty natural that I'd gravitate towards the debunking side of ghost hunting.
Also, most times, ghost hunters go to buildings with dark or tragic histories, which is another ingredient in my favorite creepy cup of tea. When I was younger, I watched all sorts of ghost hunting shows, like ghost hunters, ghost adventures, ghost hunters international, and most haunted. Most of these ghost hunting things were just people running around scaring themselves and jumping at noises their ghost hunting equipment made. It's entertaining as hell but I wanted more than entertainment.
I want to know how it all works. I want to know the reality behind it all. Places with tragic histories are often said to be the haunt of ghosts. We and violence always catch our attention, and stories about them often linger in the public memory long after the incident occurred.
Legends of ghosts grow up around these incidents like weeds, and the real history often becomes obscured. Ghosts are more interesting and better for tourism than a difficult history, so the paranormal version of events is highlighted for visitors. Many times, a seed of truth remains at the heart of these tales. The only way that seed can grow is for people like us to clear the weeds and dig deeper.
So let's clear some weeds by examining how some of these supposed ghost hunting tools work. Why people think ghosts affect them? Or are they actually detecting? If you end up liking this kind of thing, I can do other episodes where we can go into how ghost stories start and spread, or other aspects of ghost hunting.
Ghost hunting, also known as paranormal investigation, involves attempting to document and gather evidence of paranormal activity, including the presence of ghosts or spirits. It generally involves some level of belief in ghosts, or a desire to debunk or disprove hauntings. There is no scientific consensus on the existence of ghosts, yet paranormal investigators use various equipment to capture potential evidence of ghost activity. These instruments range from audio recorders to infrared and electromagnetic field detectors.
There are instruments with interesting names, like the Spirit Box, the Rempod, and the Ovilus. Each tool supposedly detects or can be interacted with by ghosts in different ways. All these tools depend on one, the existence of ghosts, and two, the theory of energy manifestation, which suggests that ghostly entities, spirits, or other paranormal phenomena can manifest or interact with the physical world by harnessing or manipulating energy. This theory also proposes that there is an energy source or field distinct from the known forms of energy in physics, such as kinetic energy, thermal energy, or electromagnetic energy.
This unknown energy can be harnessed by spirits or paranormal entities to interact with the physical world. Entities are thought to manipulate this paranormal energy through their intent or willpower. For example, they might use this energy to produce visual or auditory phenomena or move objects simply because they want to. The conversion of this paranormal energy to other forms of energy is thought to be responsible for various paranormal phenomena, such as apparitions, poltergeist activity, or the manipulation of electronic devices.
In some variations of the theory, traumatic or emotionally charged events can leave behind residual energy in a location. This residual energy is believed to be capable of replaying the traumatic event or manifesting it as a paranormal phenomena. The theory goes on to suggest that humans can also interact with this paranormal energy, either consciously or unconsciously. Psychic abilities, such as those used by mediums, clairvoyants, and sensitives, are sometimes attributed to the ability to tap into this energy.
The theory of energy manifestation is highly controversial and lacks any empirical scientific validation. This is considered pseudoscientific by mainstream science, as it uses scientific sounding words and references to real phenomena to hide the fact that none of it has been proven, despite a long history of testing. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that ghosts or spirits exist let alone that they can manipulate electromagnetic fields. Skeptics, or people who either don't believe in the paranormal or want rigorous scientific proof of it, argue with the support of the scientific community that so far, paranormal phenomena are not supported by the laws of physics.
Natural explanations, such as psychological factors, environmental conditions, and sensory perception can account for almost all reported paranormal phenomena. Investigators who believe in the existence of ghosts may interpret readings from their devices that support their beliefs as evidence, while ignoring or dismissing readings that contradict their expectations. This is a common and often subconscious occurrence known as confirmation bias. Paranormal investigations also often lack the controlled conditions and repeatability that is necessary for scientific research.
While some phenomena capture during paranormal investigations may be unexplainable at the time, without controlled experiments and the ability to reproduce results, it's impossible to prove a paranormal cause. That said, it's still very fun to haunt for ghosts. It's thrilling for everyone who participates, even skeptics. Everyone is subject to the power of suggestion, and when you're moving through a decrepit abandoned asylum in the dead of night, with only your flashlight and your various devices, it's very easy to be drawn in by the idea of ghosts.
It's dark, you can't see what made that banging sound, but it happened right when you asked for any spirits to make themselves known. Unfamiliar sounds, low visibility, stories of strange phenomena, a tragic history, and the fear and other emotions generated by all these elements work in concert to create an environment where everything feels like a paranormal experience. The fact that devices keep lighting up and going off unexpectedly adds to the fear-inducing environment. Let's look at the technology used by so many ghost hunters.
One of the most basic tools is a flashlight. Setting up a flashlight for ghost communication is common practice during paranormal investigations and ghost hunting. The idea is that ghosts can use the flashlights to answer yes or no questions. Flashlights with a twist on switch are the most commonly used, and usually the investigator twists the switch so that a small tap will cause the light to turn on or off.
Some investigators use two flashlights at a time. The issues here are many. If it only takes a small tap to turn the flashlight on, anything could do it. Vibrations from footsteps or loud sounds, a breeze, temperature changes, anything that could affect the connection between the power source and the light could set it off.
Used similarly are motion-activated LED lights, sometimes inside rubber balls. These are referred to as cat balls, as they were originally made as a toy for cats. Being that they are spherical and motion-activated, if they roll at all they will light up. These are often used in paranormal investigations to detect potential movement or disturbances in dark or unoccupied spaces.
The core component of these toys is the motion sensor. The sensors can detect movement and changes in their surroundings. When a cat or other object moves within the sensor's detection range, it triggers a response from the toy. I'll get into more detail about motion sensors a little later.
The LED or light emitting diode lights inside are activated by the motion sensor when it senses movement. Many use randomized patterns of light and movement. This randomness is meant to keep a cat engaged as it mimics the behavior of small animals that a cat might hunt in the wild. Most interactive cat toys are battery-powered.
To conserve battery life, cat balls often include an automatic shut-off feature. After a period of inactivity, the toy will turn off until it senses motion again. Paranormal investigators tend to encourage any potential spirits or entities to interact with the cat balls by moving them or causing them to light up. Investigators often ask yes or no questions to elicit a response.
If the cat balls move or light up in response to questions or prompts, investigators often interpret this as evidence of paranormal activity. The cat balls are also visually compelling. The sudden illumination of the LED lights in a dark environment can heighten the psychological atmosphere of an investigation. However, any movement can cause the balls to light up, meaning drafts, vibrations, changes in light could all impact the toy, causing it to light up.
Another basic tool is a digital voice recorder, or DVR. DVRs are electronic devices designed to capture and store audio recordings in a digital format. These devices are used by paranormal investigators to capture what is called Electronic Voice Phenomena or EVP. Voices or sounds supposedly made by ghosts that are not audible to the human ear at the time of recording.
DVRs work by using a combination of microphones, analog to digital converters, and storage media. The microphones convert the variations in air pressure caused by sound into electrical signals. These signals are in analog form, which is basically a sound wave. To store and process this audio data digitally, it needs to be converted into a digital format.
The analog to digital converter samples the analog audio signal at regular intervals and measures its amplitude or volume at each sample point. After the audio is converted into a digital format, depending on the DVR, it may undergo some digital signal processing. This can include noise reduction, compression, and filtering to improve the quality of the recording and reduce the file size. Compression and signal processing algorithms used in digital voice recorders can sometimes change the recorded audio, creating things like glitches, distortions, or unexpected sounds.
EVPs are often claimed to be these unexpected voices or sounds captured on DVRs. While listening back to the recording, it can be alarming to hear something that wasn't there when you recorded it. However, there are more mundane factors that can contribute to the creation of these strange sounds. DVRs, like all electronic devices, are susceptible to various forms of interference and noise, such as nearby electronics, static, radio transmissions, or even the device's own circuitry.
Cross modulation occurs when two or more radio signals interfere with each other, creating new frequencies or patterns. This can result in the appearance of strange voices or sounds on recordings, especially in areas with high radio frequency activity. Environmental conditions such as wind, temperature fluctuations, and humidity can also affect the way sound is picked up by microphones. These conditions can lead to unusual sounds appearing in a recording.
Audio peri-idolia and other psychological factors often contribute to perceived EVPs. Peri-idolia is the tendency of the human brain to perceive familiar patterns or meanings in random or ambiguous stimuli. In the case of EVPs, it can lead investigators to interpret random background noise or interference as meaningful voices or messages. Similar to peri-idolia, matrixing is when the brain attempts to make sense of random or chaotic patterns.
Investigators may hear voices or words in random noise patterns and believe they have caught an EVP. If investigators believe strongly in the existence of ghosts, they are often more prone to interpreting random sounds as EVPs due to their psychological expectations. Keep these psychological factors in mind as I go through the rest of these devices. They are at the heart of ghost and paranormal experiences.
Electromagnetic field or EMF readers detects changes in electromagnetic fields. These devices are very popular with paranormal investigators as it's believed that spirits can influence these fields. An EMF meter, known as a Gauss meter or EMF detector, is a device used to measure the strength and sometimes direction of electromagnetic fields in its vicinity. These fields can be generated by various sources, including electrical wiring, electronic devices, power lines, and even some natural phenomena.
Here's how it typically works. EMF meters are equipped with one or more sensors, often a magnetic field sensor or an electromagnetic coil that's sensitive to changes in the strength of magnetic fields. When an EMF is present, the device induces a voltage or current into the sensor. This voltage is typically very small and requires amplification for accurate measurement.
EMF meters have built-in amplifiers that increase the strength of that signal. The amplified analog signal is then converted into a digital signal using an analog to digital converter. This conversion is necessary to provide a numerical reading that can be displayed on the device's screen. This value represents the strength of the EMF at the location of the sensor.
Some EMF meters are designed to measure specific frequency ranges. For example, they might be optimized for extremely low frequency, or ELF fields, the kind that are associated with power lines, or higher frequency fields generated by radio frequency or RF sources, like Wi-Fi routers and cell phones. Advanced EMF meters may include multiple sensors to provide directional information about the detected field. This can help users identify the source's location and orientation.
It's important to note that EMF meters primarily measure magnetic fields, which are only one component of electromagnetic fields. They do not directly measure electric fields or radio waves, which are the other components. The idea that an EMF meter might detect a ghost comes from the theory of energy manifestation, specifically the part where ghosts can influence electromagnetic fields. However, EMFs are produced by various natural and human-made sources as a result of the movement of charged particles.
EMFs are characterized by their electric and magnetic components and encompass a wide range of frequencies. Common sources include power lines, both overhead and underground, electrical wiring, any electronic device from smartphones to light fixtures, Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, cell towers, radio towers, satellite dishes, X-ray and medical imaging equipment, transformers, power stations, hybrid and electric vehicles, Bluetooth, and the list goes on. The Earth itself generates a magnetic field, often referred to as the geomagnetic field. It's what a compass detects to locate north.
It would be weird if an EMF meter didn't go off in a house.

These devices measure temperature variations in the environment without making physical contact. The key component of an infrared thermometer is an infrared sensor or detector. This sensor is designed to detect the infrared radiation emitted by an object's surface. The thermometer is equipped with a lens or system of lenses that collects and focuses the infrared radiation onto the sensor.
These optics help determine the measurement spot, size or area on the object's surface. When the infrared radiation from the object's surface strikes the sensor, it generates an electrical signal. The electrical signal is processed by an electronic circuit within the thermometer. This circuit converts the signal into a temperature reading.
The accuracy of an infrared thermometer can be affected by the distance between the thermometer and the object and the size of the measurement spot. Multiple objects emit thermal radiation in the form of infrared rays, with the intensity and wavelength of the radiation dependent on the object's temperature. Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than microwaves. Many objects and phenomena emit infrared radiation as a natural consequence of their temperature.
Humans, animals, stovetops, hot pavement, electronics, light bulbs, fires, the sun, geothermal vents and IR LEDs. Various gases and molecules in the atmosphere emit infrared radiation as well. Multiple investigators use infrared thermometers in order to search for cold spots or other anomalous temperature changes. Cold spots or sudden drops in temperature are often associated with ghosts and paranormal activity.
This is mostly due to the long-standing folklore, anecdotal reports, and the portrayal of ghosts in popular culture. The association between ghosts and cold or sudden drops in temperature dates back centuries and is present in various cultures and religious beliefs. Cold is often associated with death and the supernatural, so when people experience sudden cold, they may interpret it as a sign of a ghostly presence. The human body is very sensitive to changes in temperature.
When someone enters a colder area within a room or environment, they may feel a sudden chill. This change in sensation can be interpreted as eerie or ghostly, especially in dimly lit or unfamiliar settings. Confirmation bias and psychological factors are, again, a large part of interpreting temperature changes as ghost activity. People who believe in ghosts may be more inclined to notice and attribute unusual cold spots to paranormal activity.
Emotions, fear especially, can also influence how people perceive their surroundings. When people are already in a heightened state of emotion, they may be more likely to interpret any unusual sensations or temperature changes as ghostly phenomena. This is so common that movies, TV shows, books, and other forms of media have made cold spots one of the basic elements of ghost encounters, which further influences the perception in real life that cold spots are indicative of ghostly activity. In most cases, cold spots have entirely natural explanations, drafts, air conditioning, poor insulation, leaking windows, weather conditions, localized heat sources, which heat only one half of a room, or temperature variations between different materials within a room can create localized cold areas.
Changes in air temperature and air density can lead to convection currents, where warmer air rises and cooler air sinks. This can create pockets of colder air near the floor or sometimes the ceiling. High humidity levels can also make a room feel colder, as the moisture in the air can affect the perception of temperature on the skin. These physical factors are often overlooked when attributing cold spots to paranormal causes.
Now let's get into detail on motion sensors. Motion sensors are designed to detect movement within a certain area or space. They are widely used in security systems, lighting controls, and other automation. There are several types of motion sensors, but one of the most common types is the passive infrared motion sensor, or PIR motion sensor.
PIR motion sensors detect changes in infrared radiation. Inside a PIR motion sensor is a pyroelectric sensor, which contains a crystalline material that generates a small electrical charge when it experiences a change in temperature. A plastic or glass lens sits in front of the pyroelectric sensors. This lens is often a fresnel lens, which is designed to focus infrared radiation onto the sensors.
The lens helps shape the detection area and improve sensitivity. When an object moves within the sensor's field of view, it causes a temperature difference between the sensors, generating the electrical charge. The charge is very small, so it's amplified and processed by the sensor's circuitry to determine if the change in temperature corresponds to the presence of a moving object. If the sensor detects a significant change in temperature or a rapid change in the pattern of infrared radiation, it triggers a specific action, such as turning on the lights, sounding an alarm, or sending a signal to a security system.
Many PIR motion sensors have adjustable settings for sensitivity and the duration of the detected motion. This allows users to customize the sensor's behavior to their specific needs. It's important to note that PIR motion sensors are passive devices, meaning they do not emit any form of energy. They rely on detecting the naturally occurring heat radiation from objects in their field of view.
This makes them highly reliable and energy efficient. Another type of motion sensor is the ultrasonic sensor. These sensors emit high-frequency sound waves and detect changes in the reflections of those waves that are caused by moving objects. These are sensitive to both motion and sound.
Microwave sensors are also sometimes used in combination with these two types of sensors to reduce false alarms. These emit microwave signals and detect changes in the frequency of the reflected signals that occur when objects move. They are highly sensitive and can detect motion through walls and obstacles. Motion sensors have a specific detection range and angle of view.
When a person, animal or object enters this range and moves within the sensor's field of view, it triggers the sensor to activate. Many motion-activated lights allow users to adjust the sensitivity, duration and illumination, and the angle of the sensor to suit their specific needs. Paranormal investigators often place motion sensors in areas where paranormal movement has been reported. When a sensor then goes off when none of the investigators is near the device, it's assumed that the movement of a ghost or perhaps another paranormal entity was detected.
One of my favorite tools in the Ghost Hunters Kit is the Spirit Box. The results of using them is almost always creepy and they often end up creating great spooky stories with some assistance from the investigators. Spirit boxes and similar devices work by scanning through radio frequencies and playing tiny bits of audio as they do so. The investigators attempt to capture real-time responses from spirits who supposedly can manipulate the radio waves to speak with them.
The belief is the ghost put together words and phrases using radio broadcasts. Think of Bumblebee from Transformers who changed radio stations and played pieces of songs in order to communicate. Confirmation bias and psychological factors are a huge part of how spirit boxes work. Without a paranormal investigator, the interference, static and noise of the spirit box would be just that, noise.
But when interpreted by an already creeped out investigator who may have pre-existing beliefs in ghosts or expectations of finding ghosts, random and unclear words, phrases and noise can be interpreted as communication. With clear guidelines for distinguishing between genuine paranormal communication and electronic interference, results can be highly subjective. Environmental conditions, electromagnetic interference, radio signals and other natural and man-made factors can influence the performance of a spirit box during paranormal investigations, potentially leading to misleading results. Even within the paranormal community, there is no consensus on the effectiveness of spirit boxes and the results can vary widely between investigations because the environment varies wildly between investigations.
The Spirit Box is the main component of a newer ghost communication technique called the Estus Method. The voice and a live audio recognition software, or human interpreter, are implemented in an attempt to communicate with supposed spirits. The sounds picked up by the Spirit Box are filtered through noise-cancelling headphones or noise-cancelling earbuds. This makes it more difficult for the investigator using the Spirit Box to hear any external sounds.
Supposedly, this helps the investigator to hear the sounds coming from the box more clearly. Sometimes a blindfold is also used to limit other sensory input. To further reduce other distracting noises or influence from other investigators, the person using the Spirit Box may also be isolated in a room by themselves. Meanwhile, the other investigators on the team ask questions or make statements to any potential spirits in the environment.
The investigator wearing the headphones reports any words, phrases or responses they hear during the rapid scanning of radio frequencies. The idea is that as the person listening can't hear the questions, some of their personal bias is removed and they can't manipulate the supposed answers to the questions asked. They speak what they hear and if it makes sense, a spirit is assumed to be communicating through them. People who believe the Estus Method works often point to several factors and experiences that they find compelling, including sensation of being touched, temperature fluctuations, and other unexplained phenomena which occur during the use of this method.
This is called anecdotal evidence and it's a subjective experience that cannot be measured or reproduced. The Estus Method's use of sensory isolation creates a heightened state of focus and engagement among participants, potentially leading to more intense or personally meaningful experiences. However, again, there is no way to prove they're talking to spirits as opposed to interpreting noise through auditory peri-idolia, personal beliefs, and expectations of communicating with ghosts. Ultimately, there is no scientific empirical evidence supporting its validity.
It's hell of fun though. Now for some of the newer gadgets I've seen in more recent ghost hunting media. A REMPod, spelled R-E-M-Pod, is a specialized electronic device specifically designed to be used in paranormal investigations. The name REMPod stands for Radiation Electromagnetic Pod.
What it does is detect and respond to changes in EMF. Basically, it's a more advanced version of an EMF meter, but it doesn't actually display the measurements it reacts to. The REMPod contains one or more EMF sensors or antennas which can detect fluctuations in EMF, including both static fields, which are constant magnetic fields, and dynamic fields, which are fluctuating fields. The device can be calibrated before use.
This means a baseline EMF level for the environment is established before an investigation begins. A specific threshold or trigger level can be set on the REMPod. When the set threshold is exceeded, the REMPod generates an audible alert, such as a sound or tone, and activates visual indicators like LED lights. Paranormal investigators often interpret the activation of the REMPod as potential paranormal activity or spirit presences.
It's often used as a form of communication with supposed spirits, similarly to the flashlights and cat balls, where spirits are encouraged to interact with the device in response to yes or no questions. As with the EMF meter, these devices could be measuring anything. EMFs are produced by various natural and human-made sources, including cell phones, Bluetooth, and electrical wiring, which makes it difficult to differentiate between any supposed spirit activity or interaction with the device and the device detecting other EMF. There are several recent devices specifically developed to communicate with ghosts in a more complex way.
The Ovilus is the brand name of an electronic device specifically designed to facilitate communication with spirits by generating and speaking words or phrases. Supposedly, ghosts can manipulate the device in order to speak with investigators. The Ovilus contains a database of words, phrases, and phonetic sounds. These words and sounds are preloaded into the device's memory by the manufacturer.
Various environmental sensors, including temperature, EMF, and sometimes other sensors like barometers, detect changes in the environment. When it detects a change, the Ovilus uses an algorithm which analyzes the sensor inputs and then selects words or phrases from the built-in database based on predefined criteria, again programmed by the manufacturer. The words or phrases are then vocalized by the Ovilus through a built-in speaker. While investigators interpret these spoken responses as potential communication from spirits, they may ask questions or make statements to elicit responses from the Ovilus.
It's important to note that the Ovilus and similar devices have faced criticism in both the paranormal and skeptical communities. Critics argue that the responses generated by the device are completely random. Suspension has also been raised as the specific mechanism by which the Ovilus device generates words or phrases has not been disclosed by the manufacturers as it's considered proprietary technology. Another brand of this type of speaking box is the Alice box.
Another small thing before I wrap it up. In many occasions, paranormal investigators blame a loss of battery power in their devices on spirits. Supposedly, according to the theory of energy manifestation, the spirits use the energy stored in batteries to manifest themselves. I wanted to quickly go over how batteries work and why they might lose power unexpectedly.
Batteries operate through chemical reactions that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Over time, these chemical reactions can lead to the degradation of the battery's internal components, so older batteries hold less charge for less time. Rechargeable batteries, such as lithium ion batteries, have a limited number of charge and discharge cycles before they begin to lose capacity. Each cycle involves charging the battery and then using the stored energy.
Every time this is done, the battery's capacity diminishes, overcharging a rechargeable battery, or discharging it to an extremely low voltage damages the battery and can lead to capacity loss. All batteries, even when not in use, self-discharge. This means that they gradually lose energy even if they aren't connected to a device. The rate of self-discharge varies depending on the type of battery.
Storing batteries in conditions that are too hot, too cold, or overly humid can accelerate capacity loss. Electrical damage to the battery, such as punctures, leaks, or external pressure, can compromise its internal structures leading to capacity loss. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can significantly impact battery performance. High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions within the battery, leading to faster degradation, while very cold temperatures reduce the battery's ability to deliver power.
The quality of battery manufacturing can also influence how quickly a battery loses capacity. Batteries produced with higher quality materials and manufacturing processes tend to have better long-term performance. In summary, there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of ghosts or their ability to manipulate electronic devices. Claims of communication with ghosts through spirit boxes, flashlights, EMF and speaker boxes are anecdotal and subjective.
If ghosts are communicating through these devices, the mechanism remains undetectable, unreliable, unrepeatable and unexplained. But that's what makes Ghost Hunting fun, a group of people exploring the unknown in an environment made to cause psychological thrills. As a skeptic myself, I want to say that I would love if ghosts were real. It would mean there's life after death, and who doesn't want something so reassuring and comforting.
But until there's undeniable proof, I'll settle for running around in the dark, scaring myself and my friends. It's a way to keep that spark of curiosity going. The Morbid Curiosity Podcast is produced by H. Lloyd.
