Controlled Field-Investigation Technique for a "Haunting"

To investigate in the field, or rather at homes and at places of business, one has in the past been limited to the data that could be brought back and analyzed in a laboratory setting. This can create problems concerning outside interference and the contaminating factors one can face outside the laboratory setting. This methodology is the most controlled field investigation technique developed to date. With the data received from use of this particular method, one can have an abundant quantity of relevant and untainted data to analyze.

Investigation Methodology:

The Investigator should employ three Sensitives: one Psychic and two Mediums. These Psychics and Mediums must have been tested and have proven that they possess some type of anomalous talents, which heretofore cannot be otherwise explained. The Investigator should not disclose the location to those who are being employed to perform the investigation; doing so would jeopardize the investigation, as the Sensitives could then discover information about the site prior to the investigation. In addition, no others, including the camera operator or even the Investigators themselves, may know of or be exposed to any information regarding the site, as even they may indirectly expose the Sensitives to such information, either directly or possibly by telepathy.

The Sensitives should be notified two weeks prior to the investigation date and told to limit and/or abstain from watching TV or movies, or reading books, magazines, or newspapers of any sort. If the Sensitives do expose themselves to any such media, they must keep a log of when and with what materials they violated this order. The reason for this being that the information a Sensitive receives during the investigation may be influenced by a plot or story line seen in a movie or television program, or read in a book or other printed media. It is therefore important that the Investigator study the information and look for correlations between a Sensitive's "hits" and any outside influences that may have subconsciously affected a "hit". They must supply this information to the Investigator upon arrival at the site.

The Sensitives are also told that they may not, under any circumstances, drink any alcoholic beverages forty-eight hours before the investigation, and they are not allowed to consume any other mind-altering substances for seventy-two hours before the investigation. Alcohol and other mind-altering drugs may influence a Sensitive's energy level and impede them from receiving valid information.

One week before the investigation date, the Sensitives are contacted and told the time of their departure for the site and the estimated time of their return. They are told whom their Monitor is going to be. They are not given any other information. The Investigator will schedule the Sensitives' departure and arrival times, two to three hours apart, in order to eliminate any contact between them.

The Sensitives will each be assigned a Monitor. This person will drive the Sensitive assigned to them both to and from the site, and they will stay with the Sensitive for the entire length of the investigation. This is to eliminate any need to have outside contact with anyone else during the time of the investigation and to create as much of a controlled atmosphere as possible. The Sensitive will therefore have no contact with any person who could influence any information that the Sensitive may receive during the walkthrough. The Sensitive will have all of their needs met by the Monitor who will only speak to the Sensitive to whom they are assigned, as well as to the Coordinator of the investigation. The Monitor, who is aware of the date of the investigation, will be contacted thirty minutes before their departure time and given the information regarding the Sensitive assigned to them and simple directions to the site. If the site is out-of-state, they are told to pick up the Sensitive and meet the Coordinator at the airport, where the Monitor will be given the information regarding the travel destination only, and not the site itself. The Monitors are to keep all information regarding the directions to themselves and they are to make sure that no Sensitives talk to each other or anyone else during the time of the investigation. The Monitors will stay with the Sensitive to whom they are assigned at all times except for the actual walkthrough.

Upon arrival, each individual Sensitive will be placed with their assigned Monitor in a room and will be isolated from the preliminary investigation process, as well as from any other Sensitives present at the site. The Sensitives will perform anti-telepathy exercises, such as crossword puzzles, during the entire investigation procedure, excluding their individual walkthroughs.

The Equipment person(s) should arrive at the site at least two hours before the Sensitives begin to arrive. Upon arrival, the Equipment person is to note the date, weather and any GMF activity at the present time. The Equipment person performs five-point readings with the EMF, GMF and ion detector. The person will draw a diagram of the entire location, separating the diagram by floors. The Equipment person will then take EMF, GMF and ion readings at each of the four corners of the particular floor as well as at the approximate center. The Equipment person keeps a running log of this information. They also then takes secondary readings during each individual walkthrough, as well as after the walkthroughs are completed. This is to determine if, in fact, any shifting energy phenomenon occurs during the walkthroughs. They will then set up all instruments in the room where the Sensitives will spend the night.

• standing EMF, GMF and ion detector(s)
• temperature gauge
• compass
• Automatic Voice Recorder
• motion detectors
• talking alarm clock that announces the hour
• video camera that is equipped with night vision
• at least three disposable cameras with 400 speed film
• infrared video camera.

The Coordinator, Interviewer, a Sensitive, and all Equipment personnel will perform each walkthrough. The Sensitive will be chosen at random, i.e. placing names in a bag and drawing them out one by one. The crew will then inform the first Sensitive's Monitor to ready their Sensitive. The Coordinator will then retrieve the Sensitive and escort them outside where the investigation will begin. The entire crew will then perform an external and internal walkthrough of the site. The Sensitive will be disclosing all interactions, visions and information received into a microphone that will be connected to a tape recorder. Photographs will also be taken. A video camera and infrared video camera will be running at all times, as well as night vision if applicable. During the walkthroughs, the Equipment person is responsible for maintaining the five point readings.

After all the walkthroughs have been completed, all Sensitives and one Monitor will retire to the instrument-equipped room for the night. They are not allowed to discuss among each other any information regarding their individual walkthroughs. All equipment listed above will then be activated in order to capture any unusual phenomena that may occur during the overnight stay. The Sensitives and Monitor cannot leave this room for any reason, in order to maintain a controlled atmosphere. The Monitor is responsible for maintaining all equipment. In the event of anomalous paranormal phenomena, the Monitor must record EMF, GMF and ion readings, as well as take still-photographs of the phenomena. If there is an emotional disturbance with a Sensitive during the night, the Monitor will contact the Coordinator, who will remove the Sensitive for a discussion session. In the event of a discussion session, it must be recorded by both video and audio equipment.

The next morning, there will be a taped debriefing. In the debriefing, all individuals are finally allowed to discuss their experiences. The Coordinator will then interview all residents or staff members of the site and give them psychological evaluations. All materials pertaining to the investigation are collected and sealed in an envelope until the data is processed. The Interviewer will then do all historical research for up to and not more than two weeks after the date of the investigation. Finally, a written conclusion will be drawn up pertaining to all data collected during investigation and highlighting any correlations.

• correlations among Sensitives
• correlations between Sensitives and historical research
• correlations among unusual readings from the EMF, GMF and ion detector(s)
• correlations between unusual readings from EMF, GMF and ion detector(s) and Sensitives
• correlations between Sensitives and infrared recordings
• correlations between Sensitives and any external influences (e.g., movies, books, etc.)
• correlations between unusual paranormal phenomena and the site's residents or staff (e.g., psychokinetic activity)
• correlations between specific locations and "hits" or "hot spots" where information is received by the Sensitive(s).

A conclusion will then be drawn from the above data.
