Faraday Bags and their Uses in Paranormal Investigation

Faraday Bags: Why They’re a Must-Have for Your Ghost Hunting Equipment You’ve probably heard of Faraday bags - but do you know why they’re such a game-changer for using spirit boxes? These simple yet powerful tools can help you cut through the noise, literally, and make your evidence sessions far more reliable. What is a Faraday Bag? A Faraday bag is a special pouch made with conductive materials that block radio frequency (RF) signals from entering or leaving. In the ghost hunting world, this means shielding your devices - especially spirit boxes - from picking up ordinary radio broadcasts or cell signals that could be mistaken for spirit communication. By placing your spirit box inside a Faraday bag, you can filter out the vast majority of normal radio chatter. This makes it much easier to identify responses that might actually be paranormal in nature. Why Use a Faraday Bag with a Spirit Box? Spirit boxes scan through AM/FM frequencies rapidly, producing bursts of static and sound fr...

World Folklore Day 2025 Every culture has their own folklore stories-tales of haunted places, restless spirits, cryptids, and things that go bump in the night. On World Folklore Day (August 22nd) , we celebrate those stories that have been passed down for generations. What’s fascinating is how folklore often lays the groundwork for paranormal investigation. The ghost stories people whispered about hundreds of years ago? They’re the same ones that lead modern investigators to historic homes, battlefields, and cemeteries today.

Labor Day: The Quiet Kickoff to Spooky Season Most people think of Labor Day as the long weekend that closes out summer. The pools get covered, the grills get one last workout, and school is officially in full swing. But for paranormal investigators, Labor Day marks something else entirely-it’s the quiet beginning of ghost hunting season. When the Nights Grow Longer, the Spirits Stir As the nights get longer and the air begins to cool, many investigators notice an uptick in activity. Some believe the change in seasons plays a role-shifts in temperature, weather patterns, and even atmospheric pressure are thought to influence energy. Others point to the traditions tied to autumn. Across cultures, fall has long been linked with harvest festivals, honoring the dead, and recognizing the cycle of life and death. Whether you call it folklore, energy, or just seasonal coincidence, the result feels the same: September kicks off a stretch of months where the paranormal seems closer than ever. T...
