Introduction
If a scientist wants to study the effect of antibiotics on bacteria, he simply cultures the bacteria and then exposes it to different antibiotics. His primary responsibility, in order to keep good scientific method, is to make sure all other possible variables which could impact the bacteria (such as temperature and light) are held constant for all the samples. It does not matter at all how the scientist is feeling or whether he is having a good day or just had a fight with his boss, nor does it matter if he is depressed or joyful. Unfortunately this is not true in parapsychological research or even ghost hunting.
Human Batteries
Spirit activities are underpowered because spirits no longer have bodies to generate energy, what I have called the Human Energy Field. Now all paranormal events take place within a specific context and there is a spiritual structure (environment) to that context. So what determines whether paranormal phenomena manifests is a living observer entering into the context of the environment and giving it HEF power to activate. In other words, if you enter into a room where there has been murder and mayhem (context) the spiritual structure (environment) is such as to manifest fear, rage, anger, and hatred once empowered by the HEF of the observer. What this means my ghost hunting friends is that you are the human batteries which power the very phenomena which you are seeking. You are providing your own evidence!Now one complication to this is that those who are hypersensitive (new readers please read other posts to understand what that means) can more easily empower the spiritual environment and tend to witness more than those who are less sensitive to the spirit world. This is why some members of a paranormal research team, ghost hunting team or deliverance team tend to experience more than other team members. In other words, they are more suited to be batteries than others.
Being a human battery has its disadvantages because you can become drained by the environment whether you are willing to release your energy or not. Such a drained state can lead to a feeling of illness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, a really negative feeling of evil, as well as such reactions as fear and panic especially if you do not understand what is happening to you. Mind you, I am not saying that a spirit is draining you, rather it is the environment which you have activated which is draining you, just like a battery is drained when it is being used.
Confounding the Evidence
Now if being the human battery for the paranormal is not enough, the HEF contains information such as emotions and beliefs which modify the environment in which the paranormal phenomena is taking place. What that means is that like will activate like. So, if you are on a deliverance ministry and are afraid of the spirits, then you will activate fear and worse from the environment. If you are a researcher who is depressed you will activate similar emotional responses of depression or despair. If you are a happy ghost hunter, you will find Casper the friendly ghost!The problem with all this scientifically is that the observer determines what he observes! Evidence is confounded by the observer. If a ghost hunter expects to find ghosts, he will certainly find them. If a researcher expects to find haunted objects, then that is exactly what he will find. If a member of a deliverance team expects to find demons, then demons are what will show up.
Now throw hypersensitivity into all of this and you have an even more complex mess. Hypersensitives can read the information embedded in HEF fields. As a result of getting that information, they can power manifestations of it to the observers. In other words they can modify the environment so that it manifests the information in a tangible way. So, if you are going to a medium to talk to aunt Millie, the medium (assuming he is really hypersensitive) can read all the information you have about aunt Millie, develop a personality fragment based on that information, and low and behold the “spirit ‘ of aunt Millie shows up and tells you things that only you knew. A ghost hunter with even rudimentary telekinetic ability will most certainly witness objects being moved by the “spirits”! Someone with basic empathy will be able to read the emotions of the “spirits” and experience their joys and sorrows.
Conclusion
We are faced with a scientific conundrum when it comes to evidence produced in parapsychological and paranormal research. We influence the evidence even if we are not trying to do so consciously. It would be the same bad news for our scientist if he could influence which anti-biotic worked best by his mood or belief system.
