General Definitions


Haunting - A place in which people have experienced unexplainable phenomena. Generally, hauntings are thought to be due to a "ghostly" presence, but are typically caused by environmental factors such as magnetic variance, etc..

Anomaly - Something found with no explainable source. An unexplainable source of data.

Ghost Hunter - Someone who looks for & documents what they believe are "ghosts" in probable locations such as cemeteries, abandoned buildings, old churches, battle fields, old schools, etc.. They aren't interested in researching the field from a scientific standpoint, many are just interested in the adrenaline rush of possibly experiencing something paranormal. Please note that GhostGadgets.com isn't a "ghost hunting" website, we are a scientific research group.

PSI Researcher - Someone who uses their own theories/ideas to test new research methods, protocols, and equipment. A true researcher is not biased to an old idea, but works to disprove or prove further the old idea, to expand the knowledge of the field. To be a truly unbiased researcher, control studies must be established, and sites can't be looked at as being inhabited by "ghosts" - you must approach purported hauntings simply as places where odd phenomena is being reported.

Telekinesis - Physical manipulation of objects & movement (such as moving objects etc.) by an "unseen force". This is a very interesting phenomena, and personally, I have had rocks thrown at me from empty hallways, and have witnessed equipment actually being struck and broken when no one was within 20 feet of it.
