On the right side bar of our web page we have a section for paranormal conditions including the phase of the moon and the solar x-ray. Today's question is "In your experience does the phase of the moon or solar activity really affect a paranormal investigation?"
Dave: We have a pending case that states that increased activity occurs in relation to a full moon. There are many schools of thought on what geomagnetic parameters supply the necessary fodder for optimum paranormal activity.
We at PPS do not heavily rely on these conditions, as studies into the correlation or lack thereof are ongoing and inconclusive. We use the indicators supplied by the property owners as a better gauge of optimal paranormal activity (i.e. every time we have an argument, between 3 and 4 am every night, etc.). Is the availability of naturally occurring electromagnetic chow beneficial for intelligent (non-residual) haunts to be more active? I think that is a fair statement, but as we have learned, spirits seldom respond on cue, fully juiced or not.
There are proponents that believe that using a sidereal time component is a better indicator of primetime paranormal activity. Sidereal time is a determination of the earth’s position in its axis as opposed to the position of distant stars and instead of being a 24 hour day, lasts approximately 23 hours 56 minutes and 04.0905 seconds in duration. That is way too much math for me. There is a duality in our objectives for PPS investigations. Learn and advance studies in paranormal research and assist property owners with the phenomena they are experiencing, leaning heavily toward the latter. As our knowledge as a group grows, I am sure we will be better positioned to contribute to the findings of the research arm of paranormal studies. Until then, we will probably rely more on gut feelings (no jokes here guys) than inconclusive data.
Rex: For me this still goes under the category of an unproven theory. As with anything else we come across during our research we will document the current phase of the moon, solar activity and any weather conditions so that we can trend the data for common results. The moon has always been seen as a mystical force on nature affecting the tides and people's behavior, because of this we cannot discount this theory. Hopefully we or another group may be able to draw a definitive link between the phase of the moon and the paranormal but until then we will continue to record our findings.
