I do a fair share of investigating on the internet as many others do these days. It never hurts to see what is going on outside the proverbial box. On almost a daily basis I am searching for new technologies or reading briefings regarding new scientific experiments which can possibly be adapted to that of paranormal researching in the hopes of better understanding the world of the unknown. I recently ran across this one tidbit regarding "Infra-sound" which was written by a Mr. Brannon Osborne from FPI. I thought I would share it with you all, it may open up a few doors for you.

What is Infra sound? The more scientific jargon would be low frequency standing waves, or for the rest of the world, audio frequencies below 20Hz. Humans can naturally detect audio frequencies between (20Hz and 20,000Hz), so it is pertaining to sound that you cannot hear. One might question what this has to do with anything. Here's the scoop. During the middle of the 20th century, experiments were being conducted on developing weapons based on resonance, or the frequency at which an object will vibrate. Does a microwave oven come to mind? It uses water's resonant frequency to generate heat through molecular vibration. Through their research, it was determined that body organs vibrated in the infrasonic spectrum, below 20Hz. By manipulating sound, it was believed that they could be used to invoke sickness, incapacitation, possibly death.Fast forward to current times. In the 1990's, Coventry University Lecturer Vic Tandy was experiencing paranormal activity while working in his laboratory. These included visions, chills, feelings, etc. As a result of his investigation into this phenomenon, he determined that his "ghost" was actually a faulty motor that was emitting a frequency between (17Hz.-19Hz.) Once the motor was fixed, the phenomenon stopped. After this discovery, he visited various haunted sights in England and found 2 that had high levels of Infra sound. In May, 2003, an experiment with Infra sound was conducted at the Purcell Room, London by incorporating 17Hz frequencies intermittently into an orchestral concert. Around 700 people attended the two concerts and left surveys questioning their feelings and emotions throughout the event. Their research netted an over 20 percent increase in heightened emotions, anxiety, and chills with the Infra sound than without. Low and behold, the scientific realm has finally discounted ghost.....or has it? Out of all the areas that Mr. Tandy visited, he only found two that had infrasonic activity, not all of them. Also, the infrasonic concert doesn't show that any apparitions were viewed that there were times when people felt things when no Infra sound was played and vice versa.What does this mean to the paranormal investigator? For one, be aware that it's out there. The more you know about what there is to disprove them is more for you to use to prove them. Second, small scale detection is complex. Most Infra sound detection is accomplished by arrays up to 30ft in diameter for detecting subatomic nuclear explosions or incoming space debris. All references I can find relating to small scale detection is related to noise pollution and usually mathematically calculated.The skeptical community is under the assumption that paranormal investigators and believers will ignore this information, say that ghost cause Infra sound, or generally scoff at this groundbreaking evidence of non-existence. There is no need to argue with what they've found, just use it to strengthen our proof that ghosts are there, and that their existence can be proven.

I am the kind of individual who believes there is a little truth in everything. It is the individuals duty to recognize the truth in something and then hash out the remaining variables from the remaining mess and determine the rest to be untruth. Sometimes this is a difficult task indeed. However, with this finding, provided by Mr. Osbourne, the scientific side of my personality would tend to believe that the information which he posted regarding "Infra-sound" was indeed valid. I have been investigating now for many years and have wanted to do so since I was about 14 years old. After seeing and experiencing all types of strange and unusual events, yet still being a skeptic and a scientific minded individual. I see a residue remaining within this subject which has yet to be addressed. Realizing that "Infra-sound" sound waves, within the (17Hz. - 19Hz.) areas have been noted to effect certain portions of the population physically, one would have to take note and ask why this is. Why wasn’t everyone susceptible to these "Infra-sound" sound waves. Is it just that some are more sensitive to these LF sound waves than others? Secondly, believing that there is no such thing as consequence, I would have to take this information and attempt to apply it’s possible claim for validity to that of the EVP phenomenon. My past research has proven that EVP’s are no more than the true propagation of "Infra-sound" or low frequency sound wave emanation. One has to then ask this question. Can these "Infra-sound’s" be responsible for the EVP phenomenon? If so, then we may have some answers here at last. However, I do not believe that the "Infra-sound" created by machinery or other man made objects causes the EVP. In one way they are the same, being a low frequency sound wave, however, they remain different in the manner in which one is an ongoing form of inaudible white noise and the other offers patterns of formulated speech. I have performed recording sessions in all types of places, from congested areas to baron wastelands. The most puzzling areas are the ones which were recorded in the baron wastelands, no where near power sources or possible areas where man made devices, other than the recorder itself, was present. It is in these cases where EVP’s are gathered that I have to differ with the theory that the "Infra-sound" sound waves cause the EVP phenomenon. Is it possible that there is a true connection here between the "Infra-sound" and the EVP. I am one who would tend to believe more so the possibility that the "Infra-sound" waves are possibly amplifying or assisting in the propagation of the EVP phenomenon. Furthermore, as seen in the laws of Physics; Two carrier signals, both of the same frequency, cancel each other out and the sound is immediately null. This may explain the short lived life span of the EVP, usually lasting only seconds per instance. These Infra-sound waves may be oscillating and not remaining at a constant variable. I am presently performing experiments with new ELF equipment which I have created. I will be performing recording sessions in the very near future and will be monitoring and recording within a frequency range of (1hz. - 20hz.) I will be utilizing an audio array which will encompass an area of 200' . I am a firm believer in the EVP and the information which is gathered through it’s propagation. The EVP is much more informative and is also supported through the laws of Physics unlike the many other types of collected data such as still photos and video. Kudos to you Mr. Osbourne, very good job, I do believe you have opened the proverbial can of worms. Now let’s go fishing! Great job.
