Electric magnetic fields or EMFs for short, are invisible areas of energy or radiation that are associated with natural and man-made sources of electrical power it is also tied to some paranormal phenomena. There are two categories of EMF frequencies, non-ionizing and ionizing. Non-ionizing EMF is low-level radiation and is considered harmless to humans. Ionizing EMF is high-level radiation that is harmful and has the potential for cellular and DNA.
Research conducted in the 1990s regarding EMF focused on very low frequencies stemming from sources like power lines, substations, and home appliances. While some studies suggest that there is a possible link between high EMF and risk for cancers such as Leukemia, the findings in this research are weak and there is no actual evidence proving the link between high EMF and cancer. While research studies seem to be somewhat inconclusive the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified EMF as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen, and studies completed by the World Health Organization state that there could be some risk involved with prolonged EMF exposure, but it is not for certain, and further research is needed.
Possible symptoms related to prolonged EMF exposure include:
- headache
- tremor
- dizziness
- memory loss
- loss of concentration
- hallucinations
- sleep disturbances, including insomnia
- depression and depressive symptoms
- tiredness and fatigue
- dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation)
- irritability
- loss of appetite and weight loss
- restlessness and anxiety
- nausea
- skin burning and tingling
Ways to protect yourself from EMF exposure include
- Don’t sit or linger near appliances. One of the best ways to avoid EMF exposure in your home is to keep your distance from appliances. You need to get up close to turn on the television, open the fridge or microwave, and load the washing machine. Just keep these close encounters short, and don’t sit next to appliances — or allow your kids to.
- Put your phone down. Especially when you aren’t using the phone, place it away from you. At night when you sleep, put it in another room.
- Use the speaker function or earbuds with your phone. This will reduce RF exposure to your head. Earpieces do generate and emit fields, but not nearly as much as your phone. Using earpieces or speakerphones, you can greatly reduce exposure to your head.
- Don’t carry your phone in a pocket. Try to carry your phone in a bag or briefcase when you’re out.
- Unplug occasionally from electronic devices and electricity. Take a day off from electronics, or even several days. Your body will thank you!
While EMFs can be attributed to paranormal phenomena, it is important to note that EMF exposure can create situations that mimic paranormal phenomena. The main goal of a paranormal investigator is to determine the causes of the phenomenon the client is experiencing. One of the first things an investigator will do is complete a run-through of the location with an EMF detector checking for high EMF readings and other possible sources that could be the cause of occurrences, based on the claims of the client. These sources could be from many things including but not limited to drafty windows, a door with a latch that doesn't quite catch all the way, and of course high EMF sources. Any sources suspected of being the root of certain phenomena will be documented, and presented to the client with any phenomenon captured. It is important to keep in mind that any phenomenon that is potentially debunked is not to invalidate the claims of the reported phenomenon. Anything that is considered potentially debunked, is presented to the client so these certain things can be fixed. Once they are fixed, it is important to keep documented accounts if the phenomenon continues in areas that may have been debunked, to present to the investigation team in case a second investigation is needed.
Electromagnetic fields are believed by paranormal investigators and enthusiasts to play a role in the appearance of spirits. The association of EMFs is based on the idea that spirits can be detected by the electromagnetic discharge of the spirit, and it is also believed that spirits can use EMF energy to manifest and can use this to interact with those who witness the activity. It is thought that energy fields can assist in communication with spirits by stimulating the psychic sense.
