First off lets be honest, not one tool is 100% certified for ghost hunting/investigation, because as most of us know their is no governing body for the paranormal (well except for those we “chase” in the after life!). So with that out of the way…. Are EMF meter’s effective Tools??

Well the simple answer is what do you believe or subscribe to? Are spirits possibly made of or use ElectroMagnetic Field? Or do they not…. Well if they don’t use EMF, then yes EMF meter’s are useless, since I don’t personally believe this we’ll go with spirits are possibly made of or use ElectroMagnetic Field.
Flip side or non paranormal side we can use EMF Meter’s to find “hot spots” in a place that may be causing the issues reported.  High EMF can cause in some people hallucinations, paranoia, headaches, etc. Which may be where all the reports of paranormal activity come from.Whether they are made of or use EMF is a whole debate in of itself! Magnetism can move objects, look at how rail guns work or Maglev (Train systems that use magnetic levitation to suspend, guide and propel vehicles from magnets rather than using mechanical methods, such as wheels, axles and bearings). So magnetism can move things. We can measure magnetic field strength, so if a spirit uses any form of magnetism we can measure it with an EMF Meter and “know” if they are with us on  a case!

EMF Meter’s are useful on hunts/investigations for a multitude of reasons, they’ve become a stable of almost all paranormal enthusiasts tool kit. For some the very first big piece of tech they bought after a recorder and camera. Some EMF meter’s have more flaws then others, but for us you can read about them here in Paranormal 101 – EMF detectors our review of our EMF Meters!

I call this blog ‘Diary of the Watchmen’ because I wanted to share all of our experiences in the world we know as paranormal.  I try to share the investigative/event end more than my experiences with people in the field/hobby we all love, but lately honestly I’ve ran into so many closed-minded people its a embarrassment!  It required me to post in not so many words on Facebook this: “We support the idea of Paranormal Unity, backing each other, sharing ideas, finding the truth, healthy debates, nonjudgmental views and teamwork. Unity is like a family sure there a few black sheep, but they still family… Don’t banish them – help them! We are tired of seeing self and/or group centered views… lets all move forward together to something better shall we?”

I’ve seen these two groups bash each other on their pages over some financial deal they had in place and both parties think the other is to blame – fine but keep it off your pages! One said I had to post so others wouldn’t get doped! My response was keep it on your personal page or hell private messages, you have a court case coming up what if your wrong? Sadly I was blamed for taking the other side…. But I stated so accurately on my way out of that post before it was deleted (They finally saw how unprofessional whole post was…) was: ‘It’s amazing to me that a group bashes another for whatever reason, and somewhere down below in the comments some idiot says: “We support Paranormal Unity, *insert group name* is with you on this…. ” Isn’t that not Unity? Just saying… Seen it a few times with different groups and different issues, Shouldn’t unity be about working together, not a pissing contest or a friend poll?’

Secondly where do some of these ‘para-celebs’ come off thinking they are better than other investigators because they got lucky enough to be on TV? I had a “request” to put it nicely  to fix someone’s page on www.paranormaldictionary.com and if I wouldn’t fix it to delete the page…. Problem was this ‘para-celeb’ approved the page in December when we talked, they even went as far in the email they sent me to say what needed corrected! Now they come complaining to me it’s not what they want, well then sign up and keep your page updated and information you want up! That’s the point of the site! I can lock pages down to verified users for these ‘para-celebs’ who have to maintain this image of perfection for their drones, er fans.  😀

I know this comes off as complaining or a bitch fest, or maybe some jealousy but honestly I don’t care.  I have never kissed anyone’s ass (para or otherwise), I don’t plan on starting now…. I’ve got this far in life being me. Nothing else, not fake, not a charade, just me.

I love investigating the paranormal, making contact with spirits, and meeting new people… I do not enjoy, egos, assholes, those who use you or closed-minded people.

The term “Para Unity” has been thrown around quite a bit lately, from everyone who hates it to those who love/support it. Lots of strong feelings on both sides, which honestly is great! We in the para field are passionate people with many different backgrounds and lives, its what makes us a unique group overall!

Some things we need to realize with “Para Unity” is that one governing body in the paranormal just will never happen. Too many strong willed people! But we all can work together, share knowledge, listen to each other, then make conclusions on what we will believe from their. And most importantly except that not everyone will agree ~ look at Orbs! Understanding is important key to any form of unity.

Many theories have different names, but same definition, (Subjective Apparitions, can also be called projection as I refer to it as.) As such we need to understand each other, as most paranormal terms in a way can be considered our “language”, without understanding we all get lost in translation with each other and a huge divide separates us, before we even begin! Knowledge shared is an important key to any form of unity.

Another thing that needs to happen for “Para Unity” to work is that we all need to stop being territorial… What does that mean? It means the owner, client, board of directors who ever runs or owns a home or business has the say who investigates it. NOT YOU OR YOUR TEAM! Sure you may have some input, but its ultimately their call. Respect  is an important key to any form of unity.

Also, this all investigations are private crap has to go! If a client/business wants to keep it quiet you do, but otherwise you should not hide that you’ve been to a place unless an agreement is in place for such! Sharing of what you found whether its E.V.P.’s, Video, Picture, or Nothing….. Should be known! It will only help end speculation about a “haunted location’s” true nature. Example: if similar evidence is found by groups at different times leads to credibility of the place! Honesty is an important key to any form of unity.

Last thing that I think some groups do is hide behind “Para Unity” to bash…. They may not mean to, but they do. Backing a friend is one thing, backing a friend with no shred of evidence and spreading lies or untrue statements is total BULLSHIT. It makes you all look bad, professionalism folks ~ its not that hard. And we all fair at that but its being able to say that yes I’ve messed up I have…. It’s what you do after you except that you are not an end all to the paranormal world, but a link in the chain ~ you can be one of the strongest links or one the weakest links ~ that matters the most!  Accountability is an important key to any form of unity.

And you may be wondering why I say “Para Unity” in quotations.. its simple because its just an idea.. It can go under many names, fly under many banners, but first we have to stop waving our flag proclaiming we follow “Para Unity”.  If its about us as  a whole, stop the name dropping of your group, why don’t you try something different and name drop someone who you respect or emulate? It’s better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier.

When I first started paranormal investigating I definitely was all about the science and proove it to me attitude, but that change about a year into it. I met some people with gifts, as in like psychic gifts. Now up to that point i’d been a hardcore skeptic of that, but that case opened my mind to many ideas about psyche and the soul as well.  It led me down a path asking not just the how I go about a case but how can I go about the case to get the best results for everyone – Client and Midnight Watchmen?

I think lately in the field of paranormal studies and investigation something crucial is almost left behind, like a used tissue and that is ideas. I know someone out their reading this is like ‘but their are new ideas all the time!’. While that is true, too many investigators, hunters, researchers and so called experts dismiss ideas with out a thought or respect for the ideas presented.  Religion is a prime example on how some just dismiss a notion because it dont fit into their perfect vision of things, problem with that thought is “their vision”, not God or whomever they follow. (and i’m not knocking religion, just people generally).

I think the human notion of i’m right you’re wrong is so strong at times that people can’t open their mind to the possiblities of something different it this world or the next. As someone who is open minded, atleast I think so!  I feel that its the only way to approach a case or an idea is to be open minded & to explore the paranormal, one idea at a time….
