Hi All, I'm Nate, I just wanted to introduce myself as I am new here. :)

One of the things on our mind is always the rush from certain paranormal enthusiasts to talk to the recently deceased - and we mean so recent that the poor family may not have even had time to bury the person in question. But, it's not the average Joe that gets called up to the spirit box or Spirit App - it's the famous people! We want you to tell is is it right to be speaking to the dead on a public platform where other people can watch and listen in to the conversation that is led by a paranormal enthusiast/ghost hunter/app creator? Should, out of respect, we allow the family to grieve and the spirit to settle before we start knocking on the coffin door with our questions? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

This question was posed by one of our community and so we did a little bit of digging. here is what came up. ( thank you for asking Lisa) This is one of those topics where the science is actually clearer, but it gets muddied because people genuinely do experience strange things — just not always for the reasons they think. I’ll break this into levels, time exposure, symptoms, and who’s more sensitive. First - what we’re talking about when we say EMF Most “haunted location” EMF comes from extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields, usually: • wiring faults• old electrical systems• transformers• switchboards• appliances behind walls These are non-ionising fields — meaning they do not damage DNA or cells the way X-rays or gamma radiation do. That distinction matters. The levels where effects start being reported Below ~1 milligauss (0.1 µT) This is background level. You’re in this range most of the day, every day. Think computers at work or home. No documented physiological effects. Between 1–4 milligauss (0.1–0.4 µT) This is where things get interesting — not dangerous, but noticeable for some people. People report:• mild unease• difficulty concentrating• headaches• fatigue The World Health Organization notes: “There is no consistent evidence that low-level EMF exposure causes health effects, although some individuals report non-specific symptoms.”— WHO, Electromagnetic Fields and Public Health Important translation:People feel things, but it’s not causing physical harm. Around 5–10 milligauss (0.5–1.0 µT) Now we’re in the zone most often linked to “haunted” sensations. This is where lab studies start showing neurological effects, not damage — but interference. Symptoms reported include:• dizziness• anxiety or dread• nausea• pressure in the head• feeling watched• emotional shifts The classic reference here is Michael Persinger (Laurentian University), who found that: “Complex partial seizure-like experiences, sensed presences, and emotional disturbances can occur when temporal lobes are exposed to fluctuating electromagnetic fields.”— Persinger, Perceptual and Motor Skills Journal
