 "People's interests and situations change," explains Claire, "as mine continues to do.  The team we have in place are from far and wide, and from many different backgrounds, so as people leave and move on we take more members on board who bring a fresh perspective to the existing team and bring with them a whole new set of ideas."  </div> <bR> <div> So just  what is a paranormal investigation?  <B>Clare Smith </B> explains.  "A paranormal investigation is an investigation into the unknown.  We conduct vigils, which is a scientific phrase for asking any spirits in the atmosphere to come forward to try and communicate with us by tapping and rapping.  Sometimes we get results, sometimes we don't, it all depends on the night.  We record the investigation by using night vision cameras which  can catch EVP's or light anomalies, and we also conduct a number of experiments."  Mike continues, "Normally if we don't hear anything, and we look back at the footage we've filmed, we can have something of interest, be it a light anomaly or an electronic voice phenomena, commonly known as EVP.  We also set up a trigger object experiment in which we hope any spirits may move, and we set up a locked off camera to record this."</div> <bR> <div> The team use a variety of equipment, including EMF (Elecrto Motive Force) meters, which the team use to detect natural EMF and electric cables, so that during their investigation should the meters pick something up which they didn't before, this would be the time to start taking photographs with a digital camera and a single lens camera, to try and catch any orbs, or light anomalies.  Also, to detect movement, the team utilise motion detectors, which have a infrared beam, which if broken makes a loud sound, and a VIBRAlert, which can pick up a in dropping on the floor it is that sensitive!</div> <bR> <div> In order to record any Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP, the team use a wide range of equipment, from a small hand held cassette recorder to digital dictaphones, and then these results are analysed through Adobe Audition, and they have some very good examples which you can find under <A HREF="media16.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Experience EVP"><B>Expe</B></A><A HREF="media16.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Experience EVP"><B>rience EVP</B></A>.</div> <div> If you'd like to know more on <B>Hull's Leading Premier Paranormal Team</B>, then please contact  <A HREF="mailto:mikeparpasy@yahoo.co.uk" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:mikeparpasy@yahoo.co.uk"><B>Michael Smith</B></A><B> </B>, or maybe you have a location you wish the team to investigate, if so, these are the people to contact.  </div> <bR> <div> © ME Productions 2004 - 2010.  Ghost Chasers is a ® registered trademark of O’Flaherty Events.</div> <div> Text, layout, and images © ME Productions 2004 - 2010.  </div> <div> <B>No part of this web site can be copied or downloaded without written consent from the </B><A HREF="mailto:webmaster@ghostchasers.co.uk" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:webmaster@ghostchasers.co.uk"><B>webmaster.</B></A><B> </B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
