Measurable Environmental Differences

---

According to ghost hunters, several measurable changes in the local environment will often accompany less measurable signs of paranormal activity. When these are recorded, they feel they are evidence of paranormal activity. Ghost hunters say that fluctuations will occur around a place of interest - for example, a haunt believe to be a dead relative.

• Temperature: Ghost hunters say that areas where a ghost or apparition appears to be may show a significant temperature difference than the surround room, called "hot spots" or "cold spots" accordingly.

• Radiation: Ghost hunters use electromagnetic radiation detectors to seek fluctuations in magnetic fields. EM radiation is particularly susceptible to false positives from electrical wiring.

• Electronic interference: Ghost hunters perceive radios, television sets, or other wireless equipment that may behave strangely as possible evidence of paranormal activity.
