For investigator Joshua P. Warren (joshuapwarren(1)) the scientific method is the preferred choice for understanding ghostly phenomenon. As the main guest on Monday night, he laid out a set of tools and procedures for capturing evidence of ghosts.
Curiously, he said that ghosts are more likely to be found in a social environment such as a shopping mall, rather than a graveyard. One of the simplest and most effective devices, he advised, is a compass. Because it detects magnetic fields, it can readily serve as an alert to anomalous activity, where the magnetism may suddenly change. Warren also had praise for digital cameras, which provide immediate feedback and have some sensitivity to the infrared spectrum.
Setting up a strobe light during an investigation can be useful in being able to see things that are normally moving too fast for the eyes to register, he said. Video cameras, Warren continued, "allow you to see how entities are moving." One noteworthy video he described showed an orb coming out of a drawer, momentarily brightening and then flying into someone's stomach.
