It doesn’t care for agendas or religious beliefs. This means whether it proves or disproves your ghost theory, it remains as it is.
Let’s redefine the terms “evidence” and “proof” in relation to our subject: Paranormal research.įrom this point forward, the word “evidence” will be used to define any data or outcome that points to a conclusion, whether for or against an idea. How can anything that comes out of such behavior mean anything in terms of evidence or proof? It cannot mean anything. It is inaccurate, unfair and definitely not scientific. Basically stated, it means seeing what you want to see by interpreting the facts or data to reflect the outcome you desire. This type of behavior is called confirmation bias and is seen in everything from ghost chasing to politics and even actual scientific studies. That said, what does it mean to capture “evidence” or “proof”? What do those terms mean in relation to the paranormal from a scientific perspective? As it turns out, many paranormal investigators aren’t seeking evidence or proof in their photos and mediums but rather confirmation of their preexisting notions of psychic phenomena. When I say paranormal artifact, what I mean is “a manifestation of a supernatural event captured/recorded on a given technological medium.” Pictures, videos and audio recordings have been used for years as “evidence” and “proof” of the paranormal, mostly in connection with ghosts and the psychic world, but now with the explosion of paranormal drama shows and reality series, the included items also include cryptids, like Wolf Men (alleged bipedal canine predators stalking Wisconsin and the rest of the US, making for a hairy situation) or the Elder Children–(a term based on the Lakota Sioux phrase “ Chiye-Tanka“)– coined by fellow researcher and Beyond the Forest Radio show host, Sanjay R Singhal RA referring to what is commonly called Bigfoot. My mind often does the same, making lightning fast associations that can be strange and weird, while at times astoundingly insightful. When I say the word “artifact”, I bet your mind jumped to an Indiana Jones-type of object from ancient history. Recently, I opened my inbox for submissions for analysis of photos, videos and audio recordings that readers feel may have a paranormal artifact in them.
