30 Days Of Meetup - Day 11

Carolina Hauntings, Apparitions and Poltergeists Society
Examining the Details of a Paranormal Investigation - Electronic Voice Phenomena
(http://paranormal.meetup.com/641/calendar/8401152/)

Do you want to meet other people interested in learning how to investigate paranormal phenomena, share your insights and make new friends? If any of the above describes you, then you've found the perfect group!! We don't make trips to battlefields a priority, or discuss individual "sensitive abilities" ad nausium. Through our association with the National Society of Paranormal Investigation and Research, Inc. (NSPIR), we'll show you how to properly investigate paranormal activity using scientific principles. We will discuss various techniques and how they are used, review actual cases and also practice using these tools in the field.

One of the simplest methods of data collection during a paranormal investigation is the capture of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) or Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC). The tool for the investigator to use for this method is relatively inexpensive and not a specialized piece of equipment.

In this meeting we will focus on the following:

* The details of the equipment used,
* Investigation techniques employed (including some that are controversial),
* Methods of recording, and
* The analysis of collected data.

Examples from actual cases will be played and discussed.
