Paranormal investigations often tread the fine line between the unknown and the unexplained. As investigations become more and more common in the everyday world and not just on TV, more and more evidence is being presented of the afterlife. Which is great! Isn’t that what we are looking for? Unfortunately, some pieces of evidence can be misleading or flat out false. Debunking false evidence during and after paranormal investigations is crucial to shedding light on true evidence of the afterlife. Paranormal investigators face the daunting challenge of sifting through seas of potential evidence, including photos, audio recordings, videos, and eyewitness testimonies. However, not all evidence is created equal, and distinguishing between genuine paranormal from natural or man-made phenomena is essential. Two staples of paranormal investigations are the evidence collected on audio or video recordings. Both of these have the potential to produce unbelievable evidence of the paranormal. However, these two pieces of equipment are prone to noise and light contamination from external sources such as pareidolia, pets, human movement, and environmental sounds. Pay attention to shadows being cast by objects, people and pets moving around (even when they can’t be seen on camera), and take note of when your brain is trying to make a face out of odd shapes in the room. Environmental conditions pay a significant role in shaping perceptions during paranormal investigations. Factors such as lighting conditions, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic fields can create false impressions of paranormal activity. By meticulously documenting environmental variables, investigators can better contextualize their findings and separate genuine anomalies from environmental clutter. Eyewitness testimonies are invaluable sources of information in paranormal investigations, but they are also subject to interpretation and bias. Investigators must approach witness accounts with a critical eye yet be respectful of each person’s perspective. Foster an open dialogue and encourage skepticism to promote a culture of inquiry within the paranormal community. Skepticism plays an important role in the world of paranormal investigations. It is the cornerstone of inquiry and should be embraced. Rather than dismiss skeptics, investigators should welcome their point of view. By subjecting our findings to scrutiny and peer review, we investigators can strengthen the credibility of our work and advance our understanding of the paranormal. Debunking false evidence is an integral part of the paranormal investigative process. Afterall, we are all searching for true evidence of the afterlife. We are investigating to separate fact from fiction and to uncover the truth behind paranormal phenomena. In doing so, we are contributing to the advancement of knowledge and promoting a greater understanding of the mysteries that lie beyond the veil.
