Faraday Cage: "Faraday" refers to physicist Michael Faraday, who in 1836 invented the Faraday cage. Also known as a "Faraday shield," Faraday cages do not have to take the form of an actual cage, but rather can be any sort of enclosure surrounded or lined by a mesh of conducting material that blocks electrical fields and radio frequencies. Its use in paranormal investigating is largely experimental and theoretical: working from the major premise that electromagnetism is a common principle of our physical universe and the unknown physical universe of the spirit realm, it provides an opportunity to rule out localized EMF pollution as the source of paranormal activity: if activity occurs within the Faraday enclosure, and it cannot be rationally explained by any other devices within, then its origins are potentially paranormal.

Methods & Principles

In this resource you'll find an overview of PPI's principles of investigating that can be used as a model or adapted for your own investigative group. It includes i) a current inventory of our equipment and tools, ii) a detailed accounting of our procedures during an investigation, iii) a comprehensive delineation of the protocols we follow, and iv) a declaration of our code of ethics.

Orb Study #2

During a recent investigation of a private residence, Pacific Paranormal Investigations (PPI) captured this particulate "orb" on our infrared surveillance cameras. PPI presents this short video clip as part of our ongoing community outreach and education program.
