‘The REM Pod’

I’m not going to bother picking a side in the debate as to what the ‘REM’ in ‘REM pod’ actually stands for. ‘Remote Electronic Monitoring’? ‘Radiating Electro-Magneticity’? Either way, it has something to do with electromagnetic fields. As ghost hunters claim that spirits will utilise and disturb electromagnetic fields (EMF) in order to ‘communicate’, you can see how this links up. If a ghost approaches the device, it will light up and make a sound. We’ve talked about this when we discussed the EMF meter.

They wave EMF meters around to either find nothing, or detect an electromagnetic field. Especially with the cheaper K-II style devices, they are very dependent on how they handled. These ones (curiously preferred by paranormal investigators) only measure in one plane at one time. Without manipulating them on every axis, it’s impossible to confirm a proper negative result. And when they get a positive result, it’s often caused by something innocuous: wires, electrical equipment, mobile phones, walkie talkies, even the user being grounded can cause a deflection… if only they checked for those things, eh.

Now I’ve seen some investigators waving REM pods around too, negating the one benefit of it. Wait! What? A benefit? Let me explain. You switch it on, put it down, and walk way. When used correctly, the REM pod removes a concern often levelled by skeptics- that of user interference. Eliminating the interaction of the user makes this device sound much more like it hits the ‘scientific’ button. Alas, this small truth is the best way to sell the bigger lie....<<<Read More>>>....
