Northeast Forensic Paranormal Research

When most people hear the term plasma they think of plasma televisions, neon lights or plasma light bulbs. These are manmade plasma items and the physics behind them is similar to what I am about to talk about. Plasma in terms of physics is a state of matter. It is a charged gas the charge is a high amount of ionized atoms within the gas. When the electrically neutral atoms are irradiated by heat or other energy sources the atoms split off creating ionized gases. It is also what makes up the vast amount of matter in the universe, more than gas, liquids or solids.

Why is this an issue in the realm of a haunting? In the same way that plasma is affected by energy in the lab or the universe, entities can manipulate plasma to their own goals. I have experienced this first hand during paranormal investigations. The entities can use plasma to manifest. while investigating a site, I was working the camera and there were some observers. As I was taking pictures, a stream of plasma came into the room from the area of the window, which by the way was the location of activity in that, a photo of an apparition was captured in the window.

I was astonished by what I was experiencing the stream of plasma look very similar to the plasma stream that I captured in photos during the Shaker Heritage Workshop. The plasma stream moved to the area of a couch, it then began to form a face once the face formed then the body began to form. At this point I took a photo however at this same time one of the observers decided it would be useful to scream as if she was in a horror movie. The entity quickly dissipated and the rest of the observers all started a ruckus, running and shouting. Needless to say these people are not investigators. I thought well at least I have one good photo but I was wrong. I was using the old 35mm camera infrared film at the time. When the film was developed the only frame that did not show anything and was blacked out was the frame of the entity manifesting using plasma. The photos of the plasma from the Shaker site can be seen on the page where the workshop photos are posted.

If you were to research plasma you will find that many researchers will state that plasma occurs in extreme heat. That is partially true. However it is energy and electromagnetic fields that excites plasma. One example of extreme heat plasma is our sun which is primarily made up of plasma. The other example of electromagnetic field excited plasma is the phenomena known as the Aurora Borealis or northern lights.

The Aurora Borealis occurs high up in the earth's ionosphere most scientists state that the plasma is generated by the sun and is irradiated outward to the earth. What excites the plasma is the polar electromagnetic field which causes the light show that is famous for spectacular light displays. The Aurora Borealis does occur at the south pole as well. So now the question, what does this have to do with entities.

In terms of haunting, the entity you see is the heat signature of the person who is now the ghost. The heat signature is a form of electromagnetic field or E.M.F.. The entity excites the plasma in the room and causes it to be visible. The entity then can take the plasma and use it to be seen as a manifestation. I have to make this point as well, scientists state that plasma outside of a vacuum is highly unstable because the neutral atom can interact with many other atoms. This makes seeing plasma a somewhat a rarity.

There are ways to create a situation were a room can be charged with plasma to make it easier for an entity to manifest using plasma. Investigators use Ozone generators and or Electrostatic generators. by running these generators you can ionize gasses in a room. This increased ionization is plasma that the entity can use to manifest. You want the air to be as dry as possible this allows the ionized atoms to move freely. Keep in mind that water will dissipate electrical charges. It is like running a current through a pond all of the water becomes charged. You want the electrical charge to be use by the entity and not the water. Posted on the links page are links to sites that discuss the physics of what I am talking about.
