I quickly scanned Stephen's report, but one thing he failed to mention and a lot of people fail to mention is pretty obvious. The MRI scanner, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, I was told by the tech goes in the the thousands of gauss, and we are NOT warned about any of the symptoms mentioned by TAPS when we get one.  The only one close that I saw when I recieved an MRI recently, was possible tattoo discomfort, and this would be in the "skin irritation" category, but this is when older red ink is used with a large concentrate of iron oxide in it.  Even with this, this was busted on the Discovery show, Mythbusters.

 Hallucinations were mentioned by the tech, when I listed some of TAPS' claims on EMF Sensitivity, but this was explained by obvious head injury or a mass on the brain causing the hallucinations.  Also of course, there is claustrophobia, but that is due to the confined space and loud noises which can be disconcerting to them.  No one ever reported seeing ghosts (even the tech who is around the thing all the time), felt they were being watched, had skin irritation, feelings of dread (except again in severe trauma, patients can feel this, a feeling of impending doom, something I learned as an EMT-A in my past, caused by shock from internal injuries and such). 

 Remember, this thing has to put out an Electro-Magnetic Field strong enough to see small injuries in soft tissue like muscle and ligaments, tendons as well as internal organs.  But do people have any of the EMF Sensitivity claims I have heard, oh yeah, nausea as well…but can be attributied to head injury, common occurrence to someone with a concussion..to throw up and used as a symptom of concussion.  But as for anything else not attributed to injury to the body or brain, the MRI Tech heard nothing.  Nor is it listed as possible on the form you sign when you agree to the test.  I had had a previous mri to the latest one, but this was before the Ghost Hunters phenomenon, of course I had nothing happen, except find out that I needed knee surgery.  This time nothing happened except the fact I might now need shoulder surgery!  I spent well over 30 minutes in this Ultra-Massive Fear Cage and had nothing happen.  I didn't feel scared, didn't see anything out of the corner of my eyes, no skin irritation, but yet we have these guys with EMF detectors that measure in the milligauss and assure people that all these symptoms can be attributed to that. Hogwash.  All of you who have had the necessity to get an MRI, think about it, unless your were claustrophobic, you probably felt nothing but annoyed at having to lie there motionless for 20-30 minutes listening to the thumping and humming over the music they try to let you listen to during the test.

 We do know that sound frequencies can cause all kinds of havoc with the human body, as noted with the anti-personnel (non-lethal) audio devices that are used to control crowds.  These frequencies can drop a person very quickly, causing disorientation, nausea, all kinds of bad effects. This was seen on the Animal Planet show "Whale Hunters" when the device was used against people trying to get the Japanese whaling fleet to stop whaling by throwing "stink bombs" to taint the whale meat that was sold commercially after supposed "Scientific Testing" by the Japanese Whalers.  A loophole in the treaty signed by whaling countries allows the country to determine how many whales it will harvest each year for such "scientific testing" and allows for the remains to be sold in commercial fish markets.  At any rate, the device was pointed at a spotting helicopter used by the anti-whaling group (which was very dangerous, the guy operating the helicopter could have crashed into their own ships, but did have it's intended effect of getting the helicopter well away from the whaling fleet and keep it from coordinating small boats in their attempts to "taint" the meat

 But these frequencies are far different from Electro-Magnetic Fields. Magnetism isn't included in the range of frequencies which radio, light and radiation emit. It's a force unto it's own so to speak, included in the likes of gravity and nuclear forces (in atoms, the binding forces).  I mean to say, magnetism can be stronger than gravity, this is shown just by taking a magnet and using it to lift a nail off the ground, gravity couldn't hold the nail down, for that matter, gravity cannot hold old automobile hulks down from strong electo-magnets used in junk yards, another place I guess ghosts could congregate.

 But maybe Natiive Inuits have it right, that the aurorae is the road for the ancestors, as it is the solar wind interacting with the Earth's own magnetic field…hmn. :)

 But I do want to put a disclaimer in this, my explanation of magnetism compared to actual radiation (all frequencies, radio to light to gamma-rays) is explained rather crudely.  I just don't buy the fact that an electro-magnetic field has anything to do with the paranormal and isn't a way to measure paranormal activity.  I would be more interested in the light spectrums, like someone mentioned in a post concerning how GH is sliding backwards in technology to how GHI is going forward, ie. the ultra-violet camera. A spectrum of light we cannot see.  But I did see my MRI images yesterday….and I couldn't even find a face matrixed in there anywhere…lol.  Now if technicians started seeing extra arms and heads in MRI images of normal people (who didn't have a parasitic twin) there might be something to this EMF business.  But all searches I've done for MRI side-effects, none were consistent with GHI claims of EMF sensitivity.  If there was such a thing, I'm sure that this would be mentioned on the signs I saw or the forms I signed, ex: 1. You may have feelings of dread and someone watching you (besides the technician) during this procedure. 2. You may experience skin irritation, nausea, hallucinations, hearing voices or footsteps during the procedure as well. 3. Be prepared for a mind blowing experience and say "Hi" to ancestors. 

 Sorry, couldn't resist.

"As for measuring emf, is anyone here aware that the electric company uses the earth as a return from a transformer on a light pole to its substation?  If the soil is extremely dry, this current can go back up into a building, if in its path. If wet, normally no problem.
 Also power companies voltage isn't steady, I have seen it down to around 100 v, and up to 130 v.  This can reek havoc on electrical devices.

Grounding in a building can also be different, I have measured 5 v different between ground wires in receptacles in a single room."

 I am just a bit confused by this statement, aren't substations the fenced off areas with all kinds of electrical devices topped with non-conductive ceramic tops?  Or do you mean the grey boxes found around neighborhoods with the "high voltage" stickers?  Sure we see transformers on poles which reduce the amperage and voltage to lines to the various dwellings in the area.  But how in the world does this correlate with electricity going back to these places using the earth or soil, seems to me this would be a bit dangerous, especially if the soil is wet, as many people who have been in the area of a lightning strike have found out.  This electricity has no where to go, and the soil stops the current after a certain radius depending on the condition of the soil, so people close to the strike get thrown and stunned or if struck, even killed, lightning being the biggest killer of people due to severe weather of all. So I am a bit confused.

 Also, regarding the voltage difference, it sounds like you were checking different outlets in rooms, but were devices being used in other parts of the room on the same circuit? This could affect the variances you found.  High voltage does wreak havoc on electrical devices, usually from a power surge, which is why we should all have surge protectors on our devices we wish to keep, like our comps and HDTV's.  This usually happens again with a lightning strike, or a transformer giving out and blowing up, as we all have probably heard and jumped out of our seats as the lights flicker or go out.  The power companies try very hard to keep voltage in a certain range with these transformers to provide us with electricity, they do have surge protectors on them as well (circuit breakers) to prevent a mass killing of computers and electronics in our homes.

 RE: the devices used to put people down using audio waves (LRAD) Long Range Acoustical Device, that was used vs the Whale Conservation Group by the Japanese it seems was a bit misused (besides using it vs a flying helicopter), it's intended use was just for seconds at a time "

Carl Gruenler, (former) vice president of military and government operations for American Technology Corp. (and who now runs a company making a competing device), says that being within 90 metres (98 yd) of the device is extremely painful, but its use should be limited to 270 metres (300 yd) to be effectively used. He concedes that the device is powerful enough to cause permanent auditory damage, but that it is only meant to be used for a few seconds at a time.

 Visual parts of the spectrum can be harmful to Epileptics as stated above, but generally have to be flashing or pulsing, not just one part of the spectrum on continuously, say the color blue.  Our eyes are very limited compared to some other species of animals, and if we think about it, can decieve us very easily, after all, they are limited only to the visual spectrum of light and aren't very powerful, wouldn't it be interesting to see objects as they really are on the atomic level? We are just walking masses of different molecules interacting with other molecules, we are all connected in a soup of atoms, some more dense than others (not intellectually speaking), and some moving much faster than others.  I guess this is what drives physicists to understand our world. On the atomic level, our universe is one. I guess to me that's pretty wild.  Are there remnants of former beings still in this atomic soup? Conscious or a memory of what once was, still repeating itself due to factors we cannot see?  I don't know, I do know that magnetism doesn't cause the symptoms as reported by GH.

   I also know that limestone shouldn't be included with quartz as a possible medium for taping events "so to speak", Quartz is a crystal created by an igneous process, as is granite, however limestone is a sedimentary rock, created by sediments high in calcium deposits usually from ancient reefs and layers of old shells from seabeds long gone.  You often can still see shell fossils in limestone and sandstone, which is common in the midwest.  Where of course there was once a large inland sea, anyone driving through the midwest on the interstates, can often see the layers of limestone and sandstone in the paths carved out of the hills for the roads.  But heck, if you squeeze and compress limestone long enough, you get marble. A metamorphic rock. However, sandstone can contain a lot of quartz, depending on where it comes from, as granite and other igneous rocks containing quartz crystals are eroded, you can get sandstone with a good amount of quartz.  Or you can get sandstone that is just that, sand without so much quartz, there is a lot of sandstone around where I live in Kansas, many buildings are made of it, of course you can go up and look at the buildings closely and actually see shells fossilized in it. 

Does this make the building more susceptible to ghosts? I really doubt it. I would really be worried about the dead mausosaurs making a meal of me! If we have ghost reptiles anyway.  A little off topic though, but in the realm of magnetism creating ghosts, or vice versa, to where GH claims certain types of rock can record events.  We would have to consider beaches prime ghost territory for the silica they contain which in turn is turned computer chips? Hmn.  There is a phenomenon where possibly tectonic strain somehow caused a visible phenomenon, but this is more in ufo theory.  I just wanted to say that these far out theories producing hauntings, to me, is well…pretty far out there…like that "apparition having no place to go, but through the books" in the GH episode Wednesday.  But I will head to that topic to see is people agree with what I thought I saw.

 Sorry for the multi-topic post, but I kind of got on a roll, which happens to me a lot, hopefully, you can excuse that, and again, the link to the range of electromagnetic radiation, not to be confused with a field, is below.
