[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 2659, member: 74"] This is a way off topic post. Has anyone watched any of the 13 bazillion ghost hunting shows on SciFi, Discovery, Travel or History channels? My wife's family watches every one one of these shows. They drive me nuts with their supposed "technology" for finding and capturing video and audio recordings of various ghosts and spirits. Now, your belief in an afterlife and whether it manifests itself as a digital recording on a hard drive not with standing; Does anyone have any objective scientific opinions on what these people are capturing on their digital recorders? I know that mic preamps can do some funny things when you turn them all the way up, but I'm not enough of an electrical engineer to know what exactly is happening with they supposedly record some out of body voice that they swear wasn't there when they were in a particular room. Can any of you electrical engineer types educate me on what might be happening electrically or electronically in such a case? [/QUOTE]
