Ghost Hunting: The Science of the Other Side
Added 2023-08-09 14:25:34 +0000 UTCIn 1901, Nikola Tesla had the most terrifying experience of his life. As he worked alone in his laboratory at night, he felt a presence.
He created a device to see if he could hear, or pick up any signals from whatever it was that he felt. He called it the “spirit radio”, and it worked.
Tesla wasn’t alone.
Throughout history, famous scientists, who helped shape the technology we used today, have spoken of ghosts and hauntings that shook them to their core.
And while you might think these are nothing more than ghost stories, you’re right.
But there is scientific data that supports the existence of ghosts. Data that has been suppressed… until now.

AJ, great episode. I got pulled into ghost hunting by a friend. Most of our investigations came up empty, but a few were really interesting. All I can say is I've felt, heard, smelled, and seen things that cannot be explained. I'm not willing to say they were ghosts, but something is going on...

2023-08-11 16:50:56 +0000 UTCWell I don't know about that but the Ideomotor effect is certainly real. That said, same, I wont play with one either because I still believe in the Unseen Realm as well. Did you have an experience with it? Maybe someone tricked you and had it move via other means? Invisible thread or magnets?

2023-08-10 23:48:31 +0000 UTCExcellent! Excellent work of Creation AJ, Jen, Gino, Victoria and the rest of the folks on Team WhyFiles !!! I really enjoyed this one. When my Mom passed away August 24th 2007, I was picking her outfit from her closet in my parent's bedroom to wear in the coffin at the viewing and funeral (Pop was still alive at the time). My wife at the time said while I had Mom's outfit laid out on the bed, she saw something just past the door frame (door opened inwards and was opened) towards the upper right corner of the door frame. I looked when she said this but didn't see anything. I remember going to a store in the Philadelphia area to get a picture of my aura. The person taking the picture said that when a person passes their spirit stays on earth for 30 days. Maybe that was my mom....? One last item. Maybe 20/30 years ago, I remember going up the stairs in the house and there was a landing with 4 steps to get to the 2nd floor hallway. When I went up the stairs I remember looking down at the green shag carpet as I was going up those last 4 steps. As I got close to the final step I looked down the hallway which showed the door to my parents bedroom was open (my mom always wanted the doors to their and my bedroom open - I don't know why to this day....may it was an Italian thing since my parents were Italian immigrants). What I saw was a thin white smoke - like maybe the thin white smoke that's generated from a cigarette where the door would be in it's closed position. As soon as I saw it, the smoke very quickly go sucked down into the floor right at the door frame. If anyone had any thought(s) on the spirit of my Mom when I was looking at her chosen outfit on my parents bed or the thin white smoke let me know when you have a moment. Thank you to anyone one that took the time energy to read my words...I am grateful. P.s. I remember listening to Art Bell shows when he had the topic if EVPs. I miss Art big time.

2023-08-10 22:54:05 +0000 UTCI keep being a human ghost phone for people that have just passed... after my friend passed about a decade ago. i was coming home from skiing and he had been at the casino. Even in wall to wall traffic i knew it was his car as it was very distinguishable. He died 2 cars behind me and i knew immediately he passed even before the car stopped rolling. It felt like he was sitting between me and my dad in the car. He told me to keep going as a car full of nurses were running to his car. I was asked to tell his sister he loved her and would be with her. She later found out everything that happened including i told her he passed before the accident was even called in. I kept talking to his ghost using a spirit box and talked through lots of stuff with him. Another time I got a feeling one day driving to stop and go speak to a lady that was on the phone on the street outside a strip club in a bad part of town. I listened to the ghost communicating with me and interrupted her and told her, i'm sorry but he asked me to stop and tell you he loves you and is sorry you're alone now. The call was her finding out her dad the last of her family had died. It warms my heart to do this and i'm pretty much always surrounded by spirit friends watching my back and and doing friendly haunting crap to let me know they are there.

Julia Fox
2023-08-10 20:38:55 +0000 UTCI did paranormal research for decades, and I did some work with a place called the Rhine Center. I loved that they used science over assumption. Unfortunately, when the elder Rhines passed away, their daughter changed it from researching possibilities to stating that there is. “ A Preponderance of evidence,“ and they are now recording data trying to explain what is out there. Personally, I have not seen proof that documented events were ghosts, and not something created by the mind experiencing it, or a psychic activity from a living person or natural phenomenon. As for the energy not being able to be destroyed, I agree, but that does not mean it cannot change form or be absorbed into entropy. I do hope that ghosts exist, I have seen many things I cannot explain, and it would be comforting to hope that they are immortal spirits, but I just don’t know.

2023-08-10 18:46:50 +0000 UTCI love all the thinly veiled political jabs from that fish ;) no matter the political leaning, those lines are hilarious! No sarcasm from me at all, I really think they're funny
Jamarr Mays
2023-08-10 18:16:25 +0000 UTCEVPs must be a mix of the frequencies we hear (see the Yanny vs. Laurel thing) and confirmation bias (why they write subtitles on the screen; check out “brain wave” vs. “green needle” experiment for an example). I NEVER catch EVPs on first listen, and rarely agree after they tell me what it’s supposed to be saying.
Jared Rasmussen
2023-08-10 18:16:09 +0000 UTCOh man, I am SOOO glad you used that clip of Zach Baggins screaming about a ghost grabbing his ass! My mom and I have a running joke about that. "dude, DUDE it touched my butt! " 🤣

2023-08-10 15:44:37 +0000 UTClook up the Arthur findlay college home of the spiritual national union. if you get a crt detuned and record it through a digital camera as well. also a older tape recorder with tubes in it. the spirits can manipulate the magnetic field through the tubes. the vibration of the rom has a lot to do with the manipulation by spirit.

Christopher Troksa
2023-08-10 14:50:02 +0000 UTCI think the ghost shows call that residual haunting, where it's like a playback of a previous moment in time. Lots of accounts of that in places like Gettysburg where traumatic events have happened.

2023-08-10 09:19:50 +0000 UTCThe Ouija Board can also be explained by the Ideomotor Phenomenon, subconscious micro movements made by a person or persons. It can also be used in plenty other effects. Derren Brown goes into it quite a bit.

2023-08-10 07:39:05 +0000 UTCYa I knew Russel was show runner and involved in the writing. That's why I said their doing 1 show to bring back fans. I have no doubt the show they do will be excellent, but he's not staying, it's just a reunion with Tennant to get people to come back in hopes of the new social justice doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa. Their not looking for the best at the BBC, their checking boxes and its sad. When they put Jodi Whitaker there was a great black actor on the short list but passed him by because more people wanted a woman. Well now they need to check the black box. Is he the right fit, idk but I'm not hopeful. You can't get a cast to fit what people want then make the show. You have to have a story then fit the cast. It's sad really sad they destroyed arguably the best franchise in the world

2023-08-10 05:22:08 +0000 UTCThey are also bringing back Russell T Davies who, if you remember, was the head writer during the Eccleston and Tennant (best)years. When he left if started going down hill then when his replacement (Steven Moffat) left if became pure garbage.
Steve Longhi
2023-08-10 04:51:47 +0000 UTCWow, amazing. Thanks! It's impressive that you were able to wait with the feeling of someone behind you. How did you do that?
Desiderata
2023-08-10 04:24:15 +0000 UTCDisagree on the whole "fear of death" mentality. You can "fear" (false evidence appearing real) physical demise, but not continued existence afterwards. As for the video subject matter, there are indeed a lot of charlatans out their, but amateur paranormal investigators like myself have recorded hundreds of excellent EVPs over the years (which I mentioned in a previous comment), taken fascinating photos, recorded intriguing videos and experienced sensory feelings that can not be explained as fakery. My sixth sense ability of spirit detection comes into play with haunted locations (like my families former turn-of-the-century money pit house), where I can detect where a particular disembodied individual is at in a room by way of goosebumps on particular body areas, usually my arms. But, like in my previous comment below, electronic voice phenomena recording is my specialty and I have hundreds of them from fascinating sites here in Georgia. My favorite of late (2018) was from Fort Pulaski outside of Savannah. I specifically hoped to get some spectral cannon fire since the old Civil War fort is basically a time loop of emotionally wartime events. Lo and behold, I got one while in a breech room and a soldier yelling "LOAD!" right after the blast. Of course, I got more than that (six different EVPs, like one of a horse huffing/clomping around with its caretaker saying "Let's go" right after that). Residual EVPs are fascinating, and sometimes really odd in that they act like audio cassette tapes. I have some from the huge Macon, Georgia cemetery that you can play backwards to hear another part of the dialog a bit ahead of the forward playing one. Some seem to be in a vibrational dimensions that are either slowed down or speed up, so you have to bring their play rate up or down to hear the words properly. When given the chance, I love to visit and record/photo/video at paranormal sites to see what I get, and always come away with something interesting. We live in a haunted world with countless spirits, so you can never be somewhere that isn't active.

Im with Hecklefish on Dr. Who. I'm a huge fan. I have 1000s of action figures props ect. Haven't watched for few years. So so so bad. Now their trying to bring back David for 1 good show so more people watch there social justice show with whoever is next. Cross my fingers they change, but when does Hollywood or BBC ever hear the fans.

I read this book cover to cover,every single day. No matter what other books I checked out I made my mom renew it over and over. I was only 6.

2023-08-09 23:49:51 +0000 UTCI am not sure of that style, by the time I got it the wings it was built with were gone, and walls replace the hole left from the wings. I saw the house pictures with the wings, they were about 300 ft, 2 floors each side. Ether way my bed room had a walk out balcony, master bedroom, and where the foot steps always went to at 9pm. That's about it, the house had 3 floors and another 5th floor for storage or what not. One more thing the walls were double thing brick, and the wind there was always hear and the house had to withstand the force of the wind. Altogether the out walls were 28 inches thick.

DonnaG
2023-08-09 23:45:11 +0000 UTCI've only ever had one experience but it has stayed with me forever. I was touring a beautiful, historic Victorian home during a Christmas home tour in my local town. After touring the main floor, as part of a big group, we were ushered up the main staircase to the upper floor to continue the tour. Once we reached the top of the staircase, a docent waiting there motioned for us to turn left into a short, narrow hall that led to a single bedroom. The hall was only 4-5 feet long and due to the design of the home, this bedroom was off and away from the other upstairs bedrooms. I was so excited and happy to be touring this home, having passed by it many times. Just as I made the turn to go down the narrow hall, sheer terror came over me. Without even thinking, I turned around to run but found myself blocked in, unable to go anywhere because there were people lined up right behind me. I was completely boxed in and found myself being pushed along into the room with the group. It was a beautiful bedroom with large windows on three sides. The light in the room was an eerie pale gray. This was during the wintertime, so maybe that's why it looked that way. There was a beautifully made, full-size antique bed in one corner facing out from the windows. After everyone in the group was inside, the docent began to speak and the first words out of her mouth were, "This is the only bedroom in the home that no one in the family will sleep in because it's haunted." She didn't elaborate on that beyond that one statement, but that experience almost turned this skeptic into a believer! I'm definitely more open-minded to the idea of ghosts than I was before that happened. I've toured many, many historic homes during my life, love old homes, and I've never once felt an inkling of fear or apprehension, but I will never forget the terror I felt when I turned the corner to walk down the hall that led to that bedroom.
Susan H
2023-08-09 23:37:46 +0000 UTCDon’t know what the most memorable is but since Raynham Hall is in my mind - I was standing in front of a grandfather clock in the actual house. Had on a denim jacket with pockets on the sides. Had my hands in front of me holding some papers. Suddenly had a feeling like someone was standing behind me. No reflection other than my own in the clock glass. I wait. Then I get this feeling of something being pulled out of my jacket pocket and my keys ended up on the floor some distance away from me! Scary but exciting at the same time.
Dee Marie
2023-08-09 23:14:23 +0000 UTCDon't ya just have the feeling that AJ, Heckle, and gang are just warming up? Perhaps this is the get prepped season? ;p I have come to expect great things from my strict but fair lord.
Desiderata
2023-08-09 23:07:03 +0000 UTCThat's true. here's a lot of thick history in New York. Many haunted place there. Red Hook Brooklyn was once the murder capitol of the world. Brooklyn Heights is another great haunt (pun intended)- just ask Lovecraft! Coney Island, Meat Packing district, Greenwood Cemetery (especially the catacombs). I have a friend who has been engaging in urban archeology- another name for a tough ass Irish kid from Bay Ridge who likes B&E with a historical purpose. He had some interesting encounters. May I inquire as to your most memorable experience or encounter?

2023-08-09 22:51:40 +0000 UTCThat's amazing. Thanks for sharing that story. Must have been something, What a wonderful thing to own. If you do not mind me asking- what style? I love Second Empire and in the other direction Stick. How many rooms, did it have a formal and informal parlor? Did it have a salon? Old properties are beautiful and mystical. They somehow have a more heavy presence, feel more real and at the same time nothing but gossamer. It's another reason why I wanted to visit the Arnold Estate.I spend a lot of time wandering around any old properties and buildings I can get into!

2023-08-09 22:17:40 +0000 UTCI have wondered if what I saw was a "remnant image," for lack of a better term. Perhaps that man did walk along there 100 years back and for one brief moment our timelines intersected. Who knows what is and isn't possible with space and time. Or maybe it was ghost!

2023-08-09 19:43:11 +0000 UTCI have had an experience with a ghost, I used to own a mansion built in the 1840's. The Bee Bee mansion, southern mid Mich. We never had it checked out, or tried to find it or communicate with it. On the second floor hallway, every night at 9pm, we heard foot steps moving towards my bedroom from stairway, creaking the floor boards, and every morning be woke up exactly at 9am. When an actual person was walking on floor above made the same exact sound we heard each night. At 9am, the entire house, everyone was woke by nothing, no one. At first we gathered down stairs getting water, no mater what time or how late we fell asleep, It got to the point we would wake open eyes and go back to sleep.

2023-08-09 18:21:37 +0000 UTCThis could not come at a better time. I just booked a mid-October overnight stay in the Old Arnold Estate in Harrisville RI (aka Conjuring House). My adult supernatural experience is limited. Between the ages 1 - 10? I had much, and according to family more than I remember. I have been into these topics since childhood, and grew up surrounded by people who were into all of it. I met my first psychic before K-school. I choose to believe (a slight mod on X-files), because in my gut I have a concrete knowing that there are other dimensions of being. All of that beings said- I'm terrified. Excited, but terrified. I have no reason to be, but yet I am.

2023-08-09 17:25:41 +0000 UTCI grew up in a 17th Century coaching inn in England and it was haunted! No idea what ghosts are but they are real.

2023-08-09 16:01:28 +0000 UTCYippee, well, so long as you don't end up telling us ghosts are UFOs, chuckle. Actually been thinking about ghosts a lot, watching that BBC Ghosts show has me thinking, what if it were true? Then Where you die is almost if not as important as How or When you die? Cause you might be spiritually stuck there for hundreds of years.

2023-08-09 15:58:46 +0000 UTCThat was a fun episode. Loved the look on AJ's face during the Dude-Bros ghost hunting clips. 😆 The parting words of wisdom about death at the end were great and so true. Thanks for another top notch episode.

2023-08-09 15:41:25 +0000 UTCMy encounter was a very "simple" sighting, but it still haunts me to this day (word choice intentional!). I was driving through a train station slightly past dusk, and as my car approached a small post office way station, the motion-sensitive light on the building clicked on. Cars won't trip them, only people or animals walking close to the building, which surprised me right from the start since my headlights should have shined and lit up whatever tripped the lights. As my car approached the building, sure enough, I could see a man walking away from me, his path hugging close to the building, dressed oddly in tweed-type clothing, a style that looked 100 years old. (The small building, btw, is over 100 years old.) I'm still trying to figure out how he got there without my car lights originally illuminating him, but then I started focusing more on his clothes. Just then, a gust of wind stirred up some dry leaves that surrounded him, and very slowly he seemed to meld into the leaves and he evaporated, mid stride, before my very eyes. It was nothing scary, the entire event lasted maybe 10 seconds, but it was real. I then tried to construct a logical explanation. I was tired, putting in a lot of hours at work, it was dusk, a time when light can play tricks on the eyes, and perhaps my mind constructed a person out of the swirling leaves as the light clicking on told me there should be someone there. Makes sense, except I know what I saw. It was a man, dressed 100 years out of time, clearly walking away from me until he faded away. I'll still insist I didn't see a ghost, yet I saw something I can't explain, and I still look for him every time I drive through that station at night to this very day.

2023-08-09 15:39:01 +0000 UTCI lived in a haunted house. Our old bank barn and farm house was haunted. The military museums/memorials I was curator was haunted along with the battle flags. Just another day in the neighborhood. I never connected with any of it. Just went on.

2023-08-09 15:37:15 +0000 UTCI highly recommend the book, "Weird Georgia" by Jim Miles. Three of my ghost investigations were published in it (unfortunately without letting me proof them for grammatical errors, which are few, but they stand out to me). As for the locations, one if "Crybaby Bridge on Whitesville Rd. outside of Columbus. The next is the Waverly Hall Cemetery in Harris County, close to Columbus. My friend used to live in that city. Next is the old R. J. Taylor Memorial Hospital in Hawkinsville. I'm not sure if this has been torn down or refurbished since we visited twice in 2003. Came away with amazing experiences and tons of EVPs. Three more superb places are in Macon. The huge cemetery (another location I got tons of EVPs from), the Hay House (they do tours) and the Bennett House, which is a private house down the road from the Hay House, but the owner is friendly and open to letting people check out the haunted spring room below the structure and the garage. Then, if you are near Savannah, check out Fort Pulaski. I specifically went to see if I could get an EVP of a cannon blast and actually achieved that and more.

2023-08-09 15:37:03 +0000 UTCGreat job as always! Raise your hand if you've seen a ghost, or had a crazy experience with a Ouija board 🙋♂️. I was stoned both times, so see that huge grain of salt? Yeah, take it. I've done some research on Ouija boards (because of the experience my friend and I had), and nowhere does it explain how my cassette player (with auto-reverse capability) stopped in the middle of a song and started playing the other side - while in the middle of communication with a spirit using the Ouija board. And pissing it off. Doh! If you ever come across a spirit named 'N', tell them I'm sorry for me, ok?

2023-08-09 15:36:46 +0000 UTCOmg... the clip of the people "catching" a ghost with a net was hysterical.🤣😆 I literally laughed out loud. Had to pause to say this. Now back to the video.

2023-08-09 15:24:46 +0000 UTCAbsolutely brilliant video! I like to read a lot on NDE's. It may be worth looking at the https://iands.org/ created by Dr Greyson. They have some amazing case studies there. Thank you Why Files Team. X

2023-08-09 15:06:00 +0000 UTCGreat episode! My wife loves ghost hunting shows. I've shared all of the same reasons laid out here as to why I'm highly skeptical of ALL of those shows. They have no vested interest in showing people all of the times where there is nothing remotely unexplainable. I do believe ghosts, apparitions or negative energy exists. In my 40 years on this big blue marble, I have had several encounters which lead me to believe in such things. Unfortunately there is always SOMETHING to be gained by people who report evidence of such things. Be it money, fleeting fame or influence. Therefore it is really hard for me to trust people's motives when they post these things. The more they can profit off of it, the less I trust them.

2023-08-09 14:50:29 +0000 UTCSure wish I had known you were working on a video for this subject. I could have sent you some great EVPs, photos and videos that I took years ago since my close friend at the time and myself loved to visit haunted locations. My specialty was recording electronic voice phenomena and I have a big archive of them from several locations we went, and some from places my mother and I went a couple years back here in Georgia.
