Things That Go Bump in the Literature: An Environmental Appraisal of “Haunted Houses”
- PsychologyFrontiers in Psychology
- 2020
A narrative overview of the past 20-years of environmental research on anomalous experiences attributed to “haunted house” revealed a relative paucity of studies on environmental factors that ostensibly stimulate haunt-type experiences and a recurring focus on six ambient variables.
INFRASOUND AND THE PARANORMAL
- Physics
- 2012
Infrasound has become established within paranormal research as a causal factor in the production of subjective experiences that may be interpreted by the percipient as having a paranormal origin.…

Experimental Induction of the “Sensed Presence” in Normal Subjects and an Exceptional Subject
- PsychologyPerceptual and motor skills

The hypothesis that the sense of a presence, which may be the common phenomenological base from which experiences of gods, spirits, angels, and other entities are derived, is a right hemispheric homologue of the left hemispheres sense of self is supported.

The results of this experiment suggest that controlled simulation of these pervasive phenomena within the laboratory is possible and that this experimental protocol may help discern the physical stimuli that evoke their occurrence in nature.

An investigation into alleged 'hauntings'.
- PsychologyBritish journal of psychology

It is suggested that alleged hauntings may not necessarily represent evidence for 'ghostly' activity, but could be, at least in part, the result of people responding to 'normal' factors in their surroundings.

This case suggests that transient, complex temporal patterns of power-frequency magnetic fields generated by less than optimal grounding in dwellings and telluric currents may be sufficient to evoke experiences in the brains of sensitive individuals.
