ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if paranormal activity could be measured, analysed — and eventually even predicted?
In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Andy Guy of SCIRE Tech for a deep dive into the technology, data and science behind paranormal investigation.
Andy explains how an early experience at Woodchester Mansion led him into years of investigation, environmental monitoring and eventually the development of specialist paranormal research equipment through SCIRE Tech.
The conversation goes far beyond flashing K2 meters and REM pods. We get into EMF contamination, temperature, air pressure, vibration, radiation, environmental anomalies, moon phases and the importance of understanding exactly what your equipment is measuring.
Andy also discusses the idea of a preponderance of evidence — where several independent measurements change around the same unexplained event — and his long-term goal of gathering enough data to identify patterns that could eventually help predict when certain types of anomalous activity are more likely to occur.
But then things get stranger.
Could some apparitions be connected to parallel realities rather than the dead? Could consciousness exist beyond the brain? Why do UFO encounters, cryptid reports and paranormal experiences sometimes appear to overlap?
And could artificial intelligence eventually analyse millions of paranormal data points and discover patterns that human investigators have completely missed?
Greg also revisits the bizarre Delamere investigation, where an Estes Method session, unexplained electrical interference and unidentified objects in the sky appeared to occur at around the same time.
The deeper the conversation goes, the bigger the question becomes:
Are paranormal investigators actually measuring ghosts — or something far stranger?

Andy Guy
Andy Guy is the founder of SCIRE Tech and a paranormal investigator with a strong focus on environmental measurement and data-led investigation.
After an unusual experience at Woodchester Mansion helped spark his interest in paranormal research, Andy began developing specialist equipment capable of monitoring factors such as EMF, temperature, air pressure, vibration and radiation.
Rather than relying on a single flashing device as evidence, his approach focuses on establishing environmental baselines, identifying anomalies and looking for correlations across multiple independent measurements.
GREG & ASH
Two mates. A shared obsession with the unknown. Haunted locations, unusual experiences, UFOs, consciousness and the unexplained — always with curiosity, conversation and room for different perspectives.
Greg: Curious about strange experiences, unusual places and the stories people carry with them.
Ash: Open-minded, evidence-aware and always ready to follow the conversation somewhere unexpected.
PERSPECTIVES.
THE SAME
PURSUIT.

In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Andy Guy of SCIRE Tech for a deep dive into the technology, data and science behind paranormal investigation.
Andy explains how an early experience at Woodchester Mansion led him into years of investigation, environmental monitoring and eventually the development of specialist paranormal research equipment through SCIRE Tech.
The conversation goes far beyond flashing K2 meters and REM pods. We get into EMF contamination, temperature, air pressure, vibration, radiation, environmental anomalies, moon phases and the importance of understanding exactly what your equipment is measuring.
Andy also discusses the idea of a preponderance of evidence — where several independent measurements change around the same unexplained event — and his long-term goal of gathering enough data to identify patterns that could eventually help predict when certain types of anomalous activity are more likely to occur.

Could some apparitions be connected to parallel realities rather than the dead? Could consciousness exist beyond the brain? Why do UFO encounters, cryptid reports and paranormal experiences sometimes appear to overlap?
And could artificial intelligence eventually analyse millions of paranormal data points and discover patterns that human investigators have completely missed?
Greg also revisits the bizarre Delamere investigation, where an Estes Method session, unexplained electrical interference and unidentified objects in the sky appeared to occur at around the same time.

Let's see if there's something to it. I was quite
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.580
lucky that on that night I was wandering around
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:08.060
with a night vision camera and it was with a
00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:11.140
group who didn't really control the environment
00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:12.660
that much. So there were people just running
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:15.259
all over the place. So we we ended up hiding
00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:17.019
out near the entrance doors. I'm not sure if
00:00:17.019 --> 00:00:18.859
you guys have ever been to Woodchester Mansion
00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:22.079
at all. That's a great one. We got to go sometime
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.199
because you can get it cheap on a Friday. But
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:27.839
near the entrance door, it was like a little
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.640
offshoot room. And I thought, path, there's no
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.480
one running around the scraping there. And I
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.060
just got the weird feeling that that someone
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.560
was watching me. And suddenly my earphones, I
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.820
heard. And like, oh, where did that come from?
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:43.840
And I played it back and I still go to this day.
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.659
And there's that thing which came out of nowhere.
00:00:46.659 --> 00:00:49.200
And I thought there is there's something to this.
00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:53.539
I don't know what it was, but then. I hit it
00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:55.560
more and more and more because I was like. I
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.439
was kind of like, I'm not obsessed, but just
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.539
so interested. There's definitely was something
00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:03.060
and no one knows what that was. What was it?
00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:05.640
And I just built up all this evidence and all
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.939
these other things at great places. And I couldn't
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:10.099
really see where I was going with it because
00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:12.000
I was just I was just running around places collecting
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.540
things. Good audio, interesting video, seeing
00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:29.000
something and not recording it. You're listening
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.680
to Pursuit of the Paranormal podcast with your
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.079
hosts, Ash Ellis and Greg Tomlinson. Welcome
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.340
Andy Guy. Thanks for coming on to the pod. How
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.079
are you doing? Thanks. Thanks very much for having
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.500
me. Yeah, I'm doing fantastic. It's been a while
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:45.980
in the making, me coming on this, isn't it? We're
00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:49.480
really not talking about it. Years now. I was
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.659
going to say, it must be years that we've seen
00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.599
each other at all these different places and
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:02.000
how we've never done it. But this time, this
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.340
time you were on it because the second you saw
00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.060
me, you're like, right, let's work out a date.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.020
And then you said a day, you said a month. I
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:15.400
was like, no, before that, before that. But I
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.960
know you are a very busy person. It's a busy
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.319
time of the year. It is Spooky season is super
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.500
busy in the paranormal. It is the season. Yes.
00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:29.860
Yeah, it is the season to be spooky So Before
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:33.620
we get into current day stuff What we like to
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:37.379
do is have a chat with the guests and say how
00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:41.280
did you get to where you are today? So, how did
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.960
you get into the paranormal? Where did it all
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.560
start? So, OK, so this is the long story. So
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.080
I had always been interested in spooky stuff,
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.460
unexplained stuff since I was a kid. So like
00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:57.159
a few people have met so far, I used to go to
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.379
the school library and check out all the ghost
00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:04.599
books, the Usborne book of ghosts and UFOs and
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.439
monsters, but also kind of read some loads of
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.319
Peter Underwood at the time. And but also the
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.439
other stuff I was into, the cryptids and the
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.639
other. odd mysteries and i was always just i
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.039
was really interested in the fact that there
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.240
was so many so many things that people had seen
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.419
and heard and recorded but it was still it was
00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:27.879
still not accepted it was still so mystery and
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.280
i thought why is this um but i never had a personal
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.500
experience uh for a long time wasn't until um
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:39.560
i went to woodchester mansion in in 2011 um on
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.139
a ghost hunt which my girlfriend got me as a
00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:45.830
present we both went there And i've been watching
00:03:45.830 --> 00:03:48.930
the old ghost hunters us show and so i kind of
00:03:48.930 --> 00:03:51.189
knew i knew the pattern the sort of things you
00:03:51.189 --> 00:03:54.330
could do the experimentation but also i thought
00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:56.710
i'm gonna do this i'm gonna i'm gonna go hard
00:03:56.710 --> 00:04:00.050
on it so i bought a mel meter and a night vision
00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:03.110
camera and audio recorder and a thing i had a
00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:05.789
cater at that point yeah so because i thought
00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:09.050
if there's something to this i want to kind of
00:04:09.050 --> 00:04:13.009
try and record it and take something away for
00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:15.949
me to see if there's something to it. I was quite
00:04:15.949 --> 00:04:19.129
lucky that on that night I was wandering around
00:04:19.129 --> 00:04:21.689
with a night vision camera and it was with a
00:04:21.689 --> 00:04:24.670
group who didn't really control the environment
00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:26.189
that much. So there were people just running
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:29.129
all over the place. So we ended up hiding out
00:04:29.129 --> 00:04:30.589
near the entrance doors. I'm not sure if you
00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:32.550
guys have ever been to Woodchester Mansion at
00:04:32.550 --> 00:04:35.629
all. That's a great one. We've got to go sometime
00:04:35.629 --> 00:04:39.860
because you can get it cheap on a Friday. What's
00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:41.920
that new interest or is there a little offshoot
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.819
room i thought that there's no one running around
00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:46.800
scraping and i just got a weird feeling that
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.660
someone was watching me so i was over camera
00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:53.480
earphones into the camera and said is someone
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.759
watching me why are you watching me and then
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.220
put the camera in the room and then suddenly
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:03.180
my earphones i heard and like oh where did that
00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:05.220
come from and i played it back and still go to
00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:08.189
this day And there's that thing which came out
00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:10.389
of nowhere. And I thought there is there's something
00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:13.790
to this. And I don't know what it was. But then
00:05:13.790 --> 00:05:16.490
I hit it more and more and more because I was
00:05:16.490 --> 00:05:18.850
like, well, it's kind of like I'm not obsessed,
00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:21.110
but just so interested. There's definitely was
00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:24.209
something and no one knows what that was. What
00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:27.310
was it? And I just built up all this evidence,
00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:30.670
all these other things at great places. And I
00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:31.870
couldn't really see where I was going with it
00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:33.009
because I was just I was just running around
00:05:33.009 --> 00:05:36.220
places collecting things. good audio, interesting
00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:40.040
video, seeing something and not recording it.
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.819
But how do you progress with that? And it wasn't
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:47.959
until someone was sitting in a really bright
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.079
August castle, Margam Castle, and they said,
00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:57.060
so why do we bother starting early? It's still
00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:00.500
light. You never get anything when it's like
00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:04.100
this. And I was thinking, well, That's interesting,
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.079
is that the case? I do not see things or hear
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.600
things or record things if it's still light or
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.319
summer or winter or stormy. Is there a chance
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.160
that you could then work out and predict if you're
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.139
likely to get something? Because some places
00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:24.420
I've been to 30 plus times and it's never the
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.399
same twice. So what changes? You can go to the
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.139
same people, try the same things one night. It's
00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:33.439
fantastic. One night you're just talking to the
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.259
air for six hours. So that's where I got into
00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:39.939
trying to record as many variables as possible
00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:42.500
to see what's the magic combination of conditions
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.939
and experiments and people and location. What,
00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:49.360
what means you're going to get a good night?
00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:53.439
Um, and to do that, I decided figuring out how
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.800
to build data loggers and then building data
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.620
loggers and then kept putting extra centers onto
00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:03.680
it. And. Over time, started to see interesting
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.000
patterns of changes in the environment which
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.779
were occurring just before or drawing other paranormal
00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:12.839
events. So I was recording the footsteps on the
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.860
battlements of Fort Whitley, but then seeing
00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:16.800
this air pressure fluctuation that occurred just
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.680
before them. Or we just mentioned where there
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.000
was a number of things all happening at the same
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.240
time, and there was a sudden surge of magnetic
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:30.589
energy in one area of the building. Because it's
00:07:30.589 --> 00:07:32.769
annoying to walk away from a place and think,
00:07:32.850 --> 00:07:34.410
it was an OK night, and then you see the data,
00:07:34.509 --> 00:07:37.250
you think, whoa, that's really interesting. Or
00:07:37.250 --> 00:07:40.509
those patterns occurred somewhere and you didn't
00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:43.110
spot something at the time. I started making
00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:46.029
little devices. There's guys back here which
00:07:46.029 --> 00:07:48.670
wouldn't tell me when those conditions were occurring
00:07:48.670 --> 00:07:52.509
to then be able to react to them in the moment.
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.500
Over time, when I started putting those things
00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:58.879
out on investigations, other people saw them
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.519
and they wanted me to make them one. And finally,
00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:05.399
the point where I was just making so many for
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.759
different people, I thought I needed to start
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.879
industrializing it so I could actually do this
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.639
and also keep my own research going and not spend
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.639
all my time just making equipment for other people.
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.639
So that's kind of where Sky came from, which
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.740
is purposely built to then put out there the
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:26.120
results of the things I'm researching for then
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.500
other people to try and see if they get similar
00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:37.600
results. That told you a long story. So do you
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.340
have any kind of technical or sort of engineering
00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:42.480
background or just something you just taught
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.059
yourself? Well, I've been programming since I
00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:50.070
was about six years old. sharpens at 700 and
00:08:50.070 --> 00:08:51.490
went through all the kind of the British home
00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:55.250
computers. So I was very familiar of working
00:08:55.250 --> 00:08:58.830
kind of with low level equipment and to be able
00:08:58.830 --> 00:09:01.470
to figure out how to connect to sensors and be
00:09:01.470 --> 00:09:05.590
around. Passionately I'd worked for Dell back
00:09:05.590 --> 00:09:09.090
in the day repairing CRT monitors. Remember that?
00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:15.740
Repairing things? Yeah, and then But then the
00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:19.559
experiences I had in other jobs, industrialization
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.600
of things, when I was a project manager for years,
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.620
that was quite useful because it means I could
00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:28.559
improve the process of making things to the point
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.179
where I'm not having to spend all my time just
00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:35.000
making things and not spending any time on trying
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.399
to progress the research. So I've professionally
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.740
used a lot of skills. which then helped me progress
00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:46.580
the things I wanted to do outside it. So you
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:48.759
mentioned Woodchester Mansion. It's not somewhere
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:53.000
I've been. And you mentioned a voice as well.
00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:56.600
How were you feeling about that when you first
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.220
heard something like that? And have you had any
00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.360
other experiences like that that you've been
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.419
able to then correlate with the equipment? Yeah,
00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:11.809
so quite a few. I focus a lot on audio. I tend
00:10:11.809 --> 00:10:15.190
to find I have a better capture rate with audio
00:10:15.190 --> 00:10:23.909
than video. There's a Wimmering Manor in Portsmouth.
00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:27.029
It's a fantastic building. And whenever someone
00:10:27.029 --> 00:10:31.509
asks me if I want to go somewhere and see something,
00:10:31.909 --> 00:10:34.669
I'll say there, because it's had people seeing
00:10:34.669 --> 00:10:38.500
things there for centuries. most nights you go
00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.100
there, someone will see something. And I've seen
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:45.279
full shadow figures with someone else watching
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.659
me. But annoyingly, I wear this backpack rig,
00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:52.019
so it contains a night vision camera as well
00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:54.500
as the data logging. And I was trying to figure
00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:58.960
out where this weird thing that happened with
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:00.580
the door, with the light being blocked, where
00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:04.500
it was coming from. And that wasn't... I was
00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:06.240
pointing at that instead of pointing upwards,
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.960
so I completely didn't record the figure. But
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.620
the logger, which was on the stairs, detected
00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:16.679
a sudden drop in radiation and air pressure fluctuation
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.419
at the same time. So it's according to the data,
00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:25.059
but not on the video. But audio -wise, you've
00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:28.100
been to the Edinburgh vaults at all? We went
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:32.700
down to Nidri Street once and we were in this
00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.629
very small kind of alcove thing that used to
00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:39.110
be, I think it was a wine celery bit. And there
00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:42.750
was people either side and right behind me, we
00:11:42.750 --> 00:11:45.090
met myself and my girlfriend, just heard a clear,
00:11:45.649 --> 00:11:50.350
hi. And both our backpacks have the data loggers.
00:11:50.370 --> 00:11:52.129
And we saw this sudden drop in temperature at
00:11:52.129 --> 00:11:55.809
the same time as the hi, which is kind of cool.
00:11:56.149 --> 00:11:57.950
But it's sort of rare. You don't normally see
00:11:57.950 --> 00:12:02.549
the temperature changes linked in with events
00:12:02.549 --> 00:12:04.500
as much. It seems like the temperature changes
00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:08.620
almost are in isolation and are inventing to
00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:12.279
themselves almost as opposed to an effect on
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.600
the environment by the paranormal thing occurring.
00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:19.899
But I'm rambling a little bit with that. No,
00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:22.860
that's fine. I mean, there's this whole plethora
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:25.720
of different paranormal gadgets and devices and
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.340
stuff available. Obviously the most common like
00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:31.360
K2s and cat pulls and stuff like that. Um, what
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.539
would you say is kind of, obviously you've got
00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:35.039
quite a range of your own device. I've got a
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.259
couple of yours. I've got the vibro one that
00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:40.519
excite vibrations and the flux is over the air
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.620
pressure one. Yeah. Use them too. Uh, quite a
00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:46.539
lot. So do you feel that sort of your equipment
00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:48.720
you've had more, but the ones you devised have
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.019
more results or better kind of results than the
00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:53.580
kind of more typical devices that people use.
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.899
I think results is a very good word for them
00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:59.580
because, um, I tend to find. Unless you really
00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:02.259
know what the equipment is doing, it's hard to
00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:05.759
really say what it's proven. One of the reasons
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.720
I started making the temperature one I made,
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:14.580
this one, the TAD, it was because I used to use
00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:17.879
a melmeter with an ATDD function on it, so it
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.019
was detecting sudden hot spots and cold spots,
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.480
because those are interesting. I've had enough
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.950
like... cold blasts of air con temperature air
00:13:26.950 --> 00:13:29.029
in my face and know that there's something to
00:13:29.029 --> 00:13:31.929
sudden, extreme change of temperature. But the
00:13:31.929 --> 00:13:34.490
problem was, is there was no documentation for
00:13:34.490 --> 00:13:36.889
how much the change was or how fast the change
00:13:36.889 --> 00:13:40.929
was. So I could only really say that it changed,
00:13:40.929 --> 00:13:42.950
but you couldn't really then progress from it.
00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:45.289
You couldn't really learn from it. So the reason
00:13:45.289 --> 00:13:47.950
I started making some of this stuff was because
00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:50.690
I wanted to know how it worked. So that means
00:13:50.690 --> 00:13:54.340
that it means something when you get it. like
00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:58.659
your seismovibration sensor. I know what sets
00:13:58.659 --> 00:14:01.899
it off and how much vibration it needs. But with
00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:05.220
a geophone, you're not entirely sure what the
00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:12.200
parameters are, etc. So I do use some off -the
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.620
-shelf stuff, but not much anymore. Yeah, I'm
00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:18.000
looking into radiation a lot recently. And for
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.720
that, I've been getting various different radiators.
00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:25.899
high frequency radiations and not just standard
00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:29.600
EMF, something kind of into the gamma radiation,
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:34.580
for example. And building those is a bit more
00:14:34.580 --> 00:14:38.080
difficult. So I've converted some of the things
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.139
I've bought into a logger as well, just so I
00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:43.019
can then capture data from it. But I've got a
00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:44.980
couple of handhold units as well, because there's
00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:48.820
something to it, but I don't know what yet. And
00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:51.730
I think that's what... I find fascinating about
00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:55.950
you Andy is, um, I know when, when I first listened
00:14:55.950 --> 00:15:00.830
to one of your talks at paracon years ago, you
00:15:00.830 --> 00:15:04.309
were talking about, pardon. That was a busy one,
00:15:04.370 --> 00:15:09.750
wasn't it? Yeah, it was. And, um, I was just
00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:12.269
like, Oh my God, I feel completely out of my
00:15:12.269 --> 00:15:16.129
depth at this point. Um, and you were like blinding
00:15:16.129 --> 00:15:20.330
me with science. Me being quite a stupid person.
00:15:21.490 --> 00:15:25.529
So now you're talking about gamma radiation and
00:15:25.529 --> 00:15:31.309
stuff. It sounds super advanced compared to where
00:15:31.309 --> 00:15:33.830
like the paranormal community currently sits
00:15:33.830 --> 00:15:35.990
with equipment. Like Ash said, with capitals
00:15:35.990 --> 00:15:43.850
and K2s and REM pods and whatnot. How big of
00:15:43.850 --> 00:15:48.169
an issue is it when people have got their like
00:15:48.169 --> 00:15:51.309
watches, phones and stuff like that around your
00:15:51.309 --> 00:15:56.370
equipment. Does that cause you problems? Um,
00:15:56.370 --> 00:15:58.870
when you're trying to do an investigation with
00:15:58.870 --> 00:16:02.590
your own data loggers, et cetera. Yeah. So, uh,
00:16:02.690 --> 00:16:04.309
one thing you might've seen in the equipment
00:16:04.309 --> 00:16:07.710
I make, um, I always getting asked like, do you
00:16:07.710 --> 00:16:11.169
do, do you do a REM pod, et cetera, or do I make
00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:13.750
K2s? And like, why would I make them? You can
00:16:13.750 --> 00:16:18.889
respond, but I don't. Do much with emf because
00:16:18.889 --> 00:16:21.509
it's so difficult to control the environment.
00:16:21.590 --> 00:16:24.990
If you think about your phone, even if you're
00:16:24.990 --> 00:16:27.809
a few meters away from it, the phone is still
00:16:27.809 --> 00:16:30.169
communicating to the nearest tower. It's going
00:16:30.169 --> 00:16:34.210
hundreds of feet, if not miles. So it doesn't
00:16:34.210 --> 00:16:36.169
matter how far away you go, it's going to affect
00:16:36.169 --> 00:16:39.230
it. And you can't control if the people next
00:16:39.230 --> 00:16:42.750
door will have phones on or a strong wifi route,
00:16:42.789 --> 00:16:46.519
et cetera. So for me, EMF isn't a great indicator
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.200
of any anomalies because you can't work out all
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:54.500
the sources of EMF to then determine if it's
00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:57.580
natural or not. And one thing I like about higher
00:16:57.580 --> 00:17:01.220
up the frequency, so towards the, let's just
00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:03.460
say, let's call it radiation. It's all radiation,
00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:07.319
but it's easier to talk about. There's not much
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.690
that gives that frequency of EMF out. So that's
00:17:11.690 --> 00:17:12.990
quite nice to look at, because you know that
00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:17.009
there's not much source of gamma radiation anywhere.
00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:20.650
And also, very low frequency is also quite good,
00:17:20.710 --> 00:17:22.829
because there's not a lot that does that, too.
00:17:22.910 --> 00:17:24.930
You get mains voltage, et cetera, but sometimes
00:17:24.930 --> 00:17:28.829
below that. That's interesting. But the big band
00:17:28.829 --> 00:17:32.670
where you see a lot of devices cover, there's
00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:34.349
too much effects there. There's too much noise
00:17:34.349 --> 00:17:38.700
around the place, and... It doesn't really progress.
00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:42.099
If you have a K2 and then you have a conversation
00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:44.539
with it and it seems like it's coming back to
00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:48.000
you and answering, it might be, but you can't
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.960
really tell much about it. I've recently made,
00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:54.440
I'm not sure, showed you when I was there, a
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.759
sniffer. I've been using these EMF sniffers for
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.119
years. And then someone said, I really want one
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.980
of those. And I started then making them quite
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:04.500
recently for other people. So then you can hear.
00:18:05.630 --> 00:18:08.109
What emf has been picked up you know the tones
00:18:08.109 --> 00:18:11.509
of it and? Why personally as well then is one
00:18:11.509 --> 00:18:13.190
of those attached to an oscilloscope so you can
00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:16.069
look at the frequencies you're picking up Because
00:18:16.069 --> 00:18:19.470
that means then you can start to work with emf
00:18:19.470 --> 00:18:22.529
because then you go okay That's 50 hertz as mains
00:18:22.529 --> 00:18:25.829
voltage or that's 2 .4 gigahertz as a Wi -Fi
00:18:25.829 --> 00:18:29.650
router and you can then work out all the noise
00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:33.150
and maybe find something in frequencies are outside
00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:37.450
that which then are interesting. But as you build
00:18:37.450 --> 00:18:40.470
a room with a Faraday cage and then sit inside
00:18:40.470 --> 00:18:44.529
it, it's very hard to then progress any understanding
00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:48.470
of those interactions with EMF at the sort of
00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:53.269
noisy bands. Sorry, you set me off on one there,
00:18:53.309 --> 00:18:58.809
moaning about EMF. I think it's an important
00:18:58.809 --> 00:19:02.549
thing to discuss because a lot of devices like
00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:07.650
the K2, for example, is a staple device for everybody
00:19:07.650 --> 00:19:11.789
that's starting out or seasoned investigators.
00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:15.430
So it's important that people understand what
00:19:15.430 --> 00:19:19.349
can trigger them particularly. I mean, me and
00:19:19.349 --> 00:19:22.470
Ash, you can hold a K2 meter and like you say,
00:19:22.650 --> 00:19:25.230
we'll stand back and then you can still see.
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:28.500
the phones affecting it. It looks intense. It
00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:30.079
is an interesting thing. So I used to look at
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.119
a K2 meter and if it went up to like the middle
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.519
and back again a few times, you go, okay, that's
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.640
a phone. But in more recent years, phones have
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.920
become a lot more powerful and it goes into the
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.220
red instead now. So it's hard to even tell with
00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:45.539
a K2 if it's a phone or not. But you still sort
00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:47.220
of tell because it's doing that data transfer
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:51.319
thing across. But K2 is kind of useful for some
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:54.990
stuff. So If you were going to use something
00:19:54.990 --> 00:19:58.250
like a REM pod, using a K2 first just to see
00:19:58.250 --> 00:20:02.089
if there's any EMF under the floor or anywhere
00:20:02.089 --> 00:20:04.529
near it before you put it down, is a good way
00:20:04.529 --> 00:20:07.789
of making sure you're not contaminating your
00:20:07.789 --> 00:20:11.490
REM pod before you plop it down. Because I've
00:20:11.490 --> 00:20:13.150
known that before, people having great sessions
00:20:13.150 --> 00:20:15.230
and they say, this is fantastic, I've been to
00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:17.089
this person for a half an hour and I go back
00:20:17.089 --> 00:20:18.990
in there and go, you put it right on top of a
00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:21.130
junction box and that's just being set off by
00:20:21.130 --> 00:20:23.970
that continuously. Which is disappointing for
00:20:23.970 --> 00:20:27.950
everyone, really. Yeah. Party pooper. Yeah, I
00:20:27.950 --> 00:20:34.710
know. Video assisted referee things. It's my
00:20:34.710 --> 00:20:39.250
nickname sometimes. It's always a bad feeling,
00:20:39.430 --> 00:20:41.170
isn't it? When you kind of think you've got great
00:20:41.170 --> 00:20:44.329
evidence and then you find out what it was and
00:20:44.329 --> 00:20:47.549
it wasn't, you became an explanation. You're
00:20:47.549 --> 00:20:49.869
like, oh, that's good. I've investigated. I've
00:20:49.869 --> 00:20:56.960
done my job. but it's a bit of a bummer. I do
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:01.660
a lot of UFO investigation stuff and 99 % we
00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:03.500
can identify what it is. We can feed that back
00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:05.619
to him. It's like I just ruined their 10 year
00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:09.380
story that they tell everyone. It's like they
00:21:09.380 --> 00:21:11.559
always say, believe what you want, but this is
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.380
what I think it is, but it is that. But you want
00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:15.660
to carry on telling people that's up to you,
00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:19.420
but it is this. So what I like about your stuff
00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:22.569
is Cause you don't go off that often. So when
00:21:22.569 --> 00:21:25.210
it does, you feel like that's, you sort of maybe
00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:27.190
do something. Well, like K2s go off all the time
00:21:27.190 --> 00:21:28.970
and stuff like that. Whereas with your stuff
00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:31.130
and the stuff that I use, of yours, it doesn't
00:21:31.130 --> 00:21:33.650
go off that often. So it feels more real when
00:21:33.650 --> 00:21:35.630
it does go off. So, I mean, I'm not sure this
00:21:35.630 --> 00:21:38.650
is kind of answerable, but is there, is there
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:41.130
kind of, or any clues and sort of give towards
00:21:41.130 --> 00:21:43.849
when doing investigations of when something might
00:21:43.849 --> 00:21:46.069
start going into that, there's something anomalous,
00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:48.950
properly anomalous here and happening. or just
00:21:48.950 --> 00:21:50.589
kind of other things that could set the equipment
00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:52.029
off. Is it kind of a point where you can sort
00:21:52.029 --> 00:21:54.289
of tell that, okay, there's something unexplained
00:21:54.289 --> 00:21:57.829
going on here? Yeah, it depends on the bit of
00:21:57.829 --> 00:22:01.869
kit, I think. Things like you have an Aeroflux,
00:22:02.329 --> 00:22:04.609
which is the term, which designed, in fact, all
00:22:04.609 --> 00:22:06.490
the stuff I make is designed to calibrate to
00:22:06.490 --> 00:22:08.750
the environment first. So it learns the current
00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:11.630
environment, the current changes. And so then
00:22:11.630 --> 00:22:14.480
you know what's... not normal, so what's above
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.079
that level that is picked up originally. But
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.940
with the Aeroflux, you can't use those during
00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:22.259
bad weather. When you've got stormy weather,
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.099
which it's fun to investigate with, but things
00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:27.740
like air pressure, horrendously affected. So
00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:30.240
it's been going to go off all night as the pressure
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:35.920
fluctuates rapidly. So you kind of got to be
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.180
aware of what you're using and then what conditions
00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:42.119
they are as well. So we touch on EMF a lot, but...
00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:45.400
Temperature is a good one as well. If you're
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.000
getting something going off and detecting lots
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.619
of temperature changes, the first thing you should
00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:55.200
really do is see if the sensor is pointing towards
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.380
a door, whereas a drafter is breezing underneath
00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:00.799
it, and that keeps changing the temperature.
00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:05.279
Knowing where the sensor is on the device, that's
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.420
kind of key as well. So you can actually work
00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:10.700
out where you have to look. Some of them you
00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:14.619
don't know. It's like a K2. That works. If you've
00:23:14.619 --> 00:23:17.980
ever taken apart a K2, either intentionally or
00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:23.279
unintentionally. So that works in just a coil
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.819
that goes around the outside of the PCB. So that
00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:28.700
coil only operates with waves that are coming
00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:31.180
in this direction. But if any waves come in this
00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:34.460
direction, it just doesn't pick them up. So knowing
00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:38.059
that means that if it's going off... If you turn
00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:40.440
it in another direction, you can then see where
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.859
the source is coming from. Or potentially you
00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:45.339
might pick something up that you weren't doing
00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:47.640
before because you had it the wrong orientation.
00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:51.000
So that's just an example. It's kind of about
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.720
knowing your kit. If you're going to take something
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.519
out, then the more you know about it, the better.
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.720
So when I make stuff, if I get asked technical
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.920
details where it works, I just flat out just
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.220
tell them exactly what it's doing, what change
00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:05.119
it's looking for, how quick the change has got
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:09.240
to be. because it means to me that that person's
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.359
actually interested in using it as a tool rather
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.640
than just relying on it to tell them that something
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.680
anomalous is happening. It means that they can
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:19.359
learn from it and hopefully then come back to
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.220
me, share what has happened and then I can then
00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:24.019
use that to progress things myself, which happens
00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:26.539
quite a lot. It's quite nice. There's a good
00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:28.880
community of people out there who want to share
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.339
back their experiences, which then can be used
00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:34.500
to make the next generation of sensors and equipment.
00:24:37.170 --> 00:24:40.369
So I was sort of following on from Ash, really.
00:24:42.609 --> 00:24:45.269
So you have one device go off, you have two device
00:24:45.269 --> 00:24:48.710
go off, and you have, say, a third device go
00:24:48.710 --> 00:24:51.410
off. At what point does it become more than just
00:24:51.410 --> 00:24:55.910
a coincidence for you? That's called a preponderance
00:24:55.910 --> 00:24:58.930
of evidence. I think that was Harry Price who
00:24:58.930 --> 00:25:00.730
said that, where you actually kind of want to
00:25:00.730 --> 00:25:05.250
see multiple changes in the environment. As a
00:25:05.250 --> 00:25:07.430
good real -life example, when you walk into a
00:25:07.430 --> 00:25:11.490
room, the air pressure changes slightly because
00:25:11.490 --> 00:25:14.869
you moved into that room. Your temperature changes
00:25:14.869 --> 00:25:17.029
the environment slightly. You have a magnetic
00:25:17.029 --> 00:25:20.750
field and electrical field. And you bring your
00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:23.269
own moisture as well. So you've impacted the
00:25:23.269 --> 00:25:26.309
environment. And that's what I've seen in the
00:25:26.309 --> 00:25:28.029
data log as well. There's a number of different
00:25:28.029 --> 00:25:30.990
factors which are influencing it to different
00:25:30.990 --> 00:25:34.750
degrees. So what I look for is different types
00:25:34.750 --> 00:25:38.630
of sensors to then say something's happened and
00:25:38.630 --> 00:25:42.529
it's nomalous. But the way that I record those
00:25:42.529 --> 00:25:45.410
anomalies is not actually based off the air pressure
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:48.910
change, therefore it's paranormal. My data points
00:25:48.910 --> 00:25:52.930
are when we've recorded something unexplained,
00:25:53.309 --> 00:25:56.589
but then we've evidenced it as well. So if we
00:25:56.589 --> 00:25:59.950
have a voice or footsteps or a door opens and
00:25:59.950 --> 00:26:03.150
I've actually got video or audio of it, that
00:26:03.150 --> 00:26:06.069
becomes the data point. And then if that translates
00:26:06.069 --> 00:26:08.150
and relates to the changes in the environment,
00:26:08.750 --> 00:26:10.650
then that's a key indicator that helps me move
00:26:10.650 --> 00:26:13.450
forward with the predictive stuff. And that's
00:26:13.450 --> 00:26:15.109
what I'm really working on in the background,
00:26:15.910 --> 00:26:17.490
improving the data loggers to remove variables,
00:26:17.569 --> 00:26:20.829
to then get to the point where I can come up
00:26:20.829 --> 00:26:23.309
on a screen and go, tonight, you have a possibility
00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:27.609
of 15 % of getting shadow figure, 30 % of getting
00:26:27.609 --> 00:26:29.630
footsteps, just based on the conditions and the
00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:32.630
changes. And then as the night progresses, to
00:26:32.630 --> 00:26:35.569
have that then start shifting the percentages
00:26:35.569 --> 00:26:38.069
so you then know that something might be about
00:26:38.069 --> 00:26:39.869
to occur and make sure you're recording audio
00:26:39.869 --> 00:26:43.670
or video or whatever. That's my goal. I'm pretty
00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:45.490
sure a lot of locations wouldn't like you to
00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:48.109
be saying that to people. We should be a hundred
00:26:48.109 --> 00:26:50.730
percent all the time. Yeah, it's not true though.
00:26:51.690 --> 00:26:54.829
I used to show this moon graph all the time,
00:26:55.009 --> 00:26:57.670
which is fascinating. So some patterns I've come
00:26:57.670 --> 00:26:59.170
up from all the data I've been doing all these
00:26:59.170 --> 00:27:04.049
years. One of them is moon phases. Based on evidenced
00:27:04.049 --> 00:27:06.470
events, things I can show you and you can hear,
00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:11.829
you're far more likely to record something and
00:27:11.829 --> 00:27:14.049
evidence it on a new moon than you are a full
00:27:14.049 --> 00:27:18.029
moon. It's like a bell curve. Investigation times
00:27:18.029 --> 00:27:21.130
around the full moon pretty much aren't even
00:27:21.130 --> 00:27:23.769
worth bothering with, which again, some locations
00:27:23.769 --> 00:27:26.690
wouldn't like you to not book them for a quarter
00:27:26.690 --> 00:27:33.920
of the month. It's interesting because I know
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.519
someone who works at the police and when it's
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.900
a full moon, more people go out and commit crime.
00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:44.900
So they actually staff more for full moons because
00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:49.099
it affects people in that way, which is pretty
00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:51.660
mad. So you're kind of saying for a paranormal
00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:56.339
point of view, it's actually the opposite. Unless
00:27:56.339 --> 00:27:59.569
they are the same thing. These are, these are
00:27:59.569 --> 00:28:01.569
evidenced events and those to be evidence, they
00:28:01.569 --> 00:28:03.750
have to be witnessed first. So someone's got
00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:06.630
to have recorded that they heard something and
00:28:06.630 --> 00:28:10.710
then record it. So as, as you've said, I've heard
00:28:10.710 --> 00:28:12.349
that a lot as well. I've got some police friends
00:28:12.349 --> 00:28:14.730
and also it happens in hospitals, full moons
00:28:14.730 --> 00:28:19.650
are bad hospital times too. Could it be that
00:28:19.650 --> 00:28:23.250
that influence on us means that we are not as
00:28:23.250 --> 00:28:25.950
perceptive of these things and therefore that's
00:28:25.950 --> 00:28:29.099
why we're not recording them so much. potentially.
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.859
So they might be occurring, but we're just not
00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:35.779
tuning into them. It makes them more primal.
00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:39.339
Yeah, there's something that we should be tapping
00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:42.099
into, but we're not. The human factor is definitely
00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:46.799
there. It's not all air pressure and gamma radiation.
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.900
The people involved are very much part of the
00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:55.900
combination log. Say you're there with all your
00:28:55.900 --> 00:29:00.900
equipment and you're looking at all the recordings
00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:05.720
and the results live. Do you think that if you
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:09.579
were to feed back the stuff you were getting
00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:13.000
during the evening, whether or not that would
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.000
lead paranormal investigators down a different
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.700
route, or are you better off waiting until afterwards
00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:25.460
to see what they capture? sense and time log
00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:28.839
their own stuff. Do you think there's method
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:34.220
in that? Or it could be both actually got a good
00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:37.779
way of leading, not leading, but progressing
00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:40.220
an investigation during the night. Yeah, I'm
00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:44.279
a big believer in trying to use all the tools
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.099
to your advantage on the night. So if something's
00:29:48.099 --> 00:29:50.579
going on, you know what you're doing is right.
00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:56.009
And you then can progress with that. So some
00:29:56.009 --> 00:29:58.529
of the data logs we use, I'm wearing, there's
00:29:58.529 --> 00:30:00.410
one that's outside the building, so we have a
00:30:00.410 --> 00:30:02.029
control and we can then check against the weather.
00:30:02.670 --> 00:30:04.710
But some of them are static units with graphs
00:30:04.710 --> 00:30:06.490
on them. As soon as it detects an anomaly, it
00:30:06.490 --> 00:30:08.690
switches to graph and you can then see what's
00:30:08.690 --> 00:30:10.730
happening. And I've seen sessions where people
00:30:10.730 --> 00:30:12.569
who just stand there just staring at these graphs,
00:30:13.250 --> 00:30:18.329
but then also using them as communication things.
00:30:19.369 --> 00:30:21.029
someone will be asking questions and someone
00:30:21.029 --> 00:30:22.789
will be staring at this graph. And if they see
00:30:22.789 --> 00:30:26.150
any spikes, they'll go hit or if it drops down,
00:30:26.289 --> 00:30:27.990
especially the air pressure, they'll go miss.
00:30:28.210 --> 00:30:32.210
So then try and then communicate using it. And
00:30:32.210 --> 00:30:35.750
because my research is based on evidence events
00:30:35.750 --> 00:30:40.670
and the environmental conditions aren't evidence
00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:43.430
in themselves, those are additional data based
00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:47.650
on it. If we don't record any audio or video
00:30:47.650 --> 00:30:51.009
or There are some soft things as well, but basically
00:30:51.009 --> 00:30:52.849
something which you can play back to someone
00:30:52.849 --> 00:30:55.450
else is not even a data point. So it doesn't
00:30:55.450 --> 00:30:58.869
really get used unless something can be captured.
00:30:59.809 --> 00:31:03.230
That being said, I think there's quite a lot
00:31:03.230 --> 00:31:09.309
in not ignoring things. So if people say, I've
00:31:09.309 --> 00:31:13.009
just had a name come to mind, then we can't do
00:31:13.009 --> 00:31:16.609
much with that. We can't with that one... Say,
00:31:16.609 --> 00:31:19.089
okay, I can't see in your mind. I believe that
00:31:19.089 --> 00:31:21.210
was you. I came to mind. Absolutely. But we're
00:31:21.210 --> 00:31:22.589
going to make a note of it. And we're going to
00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:24.630
stick it on our database along with all the other
00:31:24.630 --> 00:31:29.490
stuff and that location. And over time, see if,
00:31:29.529 --> 00:31:32.710
hang on, we've had that name before. In fact,
00:31:32.789 --> 00:31:36.990
there's one place, one of the forts in Portsmouth
00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:39.869
that we've had the same name come up for the
00:31:39.869 --> 00:31:42.849
last decade across many investigations, different
00:31:42.849 --> 00:31:47.319
people. different ways of doing it, some electronic,
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.299
some a lot more spiritual, but different people.
00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:53.819
And just the same name in the same, literally
00:31:53.819 --> 00:31:56.960
the same room over that decade. I'm like, okay,
00:31:57.059 --> 00:31:59.339
that's now become quite interesting, but you
00:31:59.339 --> 00:32:02.519
only do that by, unfortunately, writing things
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.259
down, which is where your science comes in. And
00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:09.559
then becomes, it's still not massively useful
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.539
apart from including that in your experiments.
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:14.880
So you go back and then you try and speak to
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.539
that person using that name or I've done a few
00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:19.940
times using different names, seeing if anything
00:32:19.940 --> 00:32:21.960
happens and then use the name that I want to
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.539
really get something from and then had good results
00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:28.180
from that. So it's okay to make sure everything
00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:32.579
is written down and noted and then you can actually
00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:36.420
use it, even if it's not on audio or video or
00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:40.170
a graph. It's a very complex thing, the thing
00:32:40.170 --> 00:32:44.589
we're doing. A lot of moving parts. On that kind
00:32:44.589 --> 00:32:48.029
of topic, do you think paranormal investigators
00:32:48.029 --> 00:32:52.130
sometimes place too much faith in sort of technology
00:32:52.130 --> 00:32:55.950
and devices? Yeah, I think, and I've always said
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.849
this to people, that if you're going to a place
00:32:58.849 --> 00:33:01.150
and no matter what you're using, you're not there
00:33:01.150 --> 00:33:05.160
to talk to your K2. you're there trying to communicate
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.039
with the personality. And cards on the table,
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:11.619
I haven't seen enough evidence to say what we're
00:33:11.619 --> 00:33:15.559
talking to is the spirit of someone who's died
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:18.220
and that spirit has remained in the building
00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:21.480
and you're communicating to them somehow. I think
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.559
there might be lots of factors. There might be
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:25.960
several different things. But I always go into
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.980
it with an assumption I am talking to someone
00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:31.480
and I treat it like I'm talking to someone. And
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.119
if something goes off, I know that maybe that's
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:35.819
the thing I'm saying or the thing we're doing
00:33:35.819 --> 00:33:38.160
has had some impact. And I'll just keep going
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.599
with that, but not make them do tricks. I'd always
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.019
think, how would I want to be treated if I was
00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:47.220
really trying to communicate with someone? And
00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:50.380
the first thing they did after I strained to
00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:53.500
make a knocking noise was to be asked to do it
00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:57.660
again. That'd be annoying. I'd want to try and
00:33:57.660 --> 00:34:00.640
prove that I was there by just continuing a conversation.
00:34:03.919 --> 00:34:07.680
Yeah. Okay. Can you do it again? And when you
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:09.639
get it again, and the first thing after that
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.739
is then, okay, that's great. Can you do it again?
00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:18.719
I'm out of here. Yeah. Hadn't thought of that.
00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:22.639
People are guilty of that. Yeah. Yeah. So I like
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.820
to try and, I'm trying to run with things even
00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:26.739
before I try and debunk them quite often. I would
00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:30.039
say you might think it's a radiator knocking,
00:34:30.179 --> 00:34:34.409
but run with it. And if then you're not getting
00:34:34.409 --> 00:34:36.909
anything else, then spend a bit of time jumping
00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:41.050
down the floorboards and kicking radiators or
00:34:41.050 --> 00:34:43.530
tapping walls and stuff. But you might miss an
00:34:43.530 --> 00:34:46.849
opportunity to speak to someone. And that could
00:34:46.849 --> 00:34:49.409
be anything. It could be alternative realities,
00:34:49.989 --> 00:34:53.889
higher dimensions, parallel universes, which
00:34:53.889 --> 00:34:57.769
you're actually speaking to yourself. I've got
00:34:57.769 --> 00:34:59.670
a bit of a tangent there, but I've got enough
00:34:59.670 --> 00:35:02.000
evidence and things that have happened. which
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.760
to me points towards a much more complex picture
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.760
about what we're picking up. Yeah, part of our
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:16.460
talk where we talk about the Estes method covers
00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:18.860
the fact that just because you're in a paranormal
00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:21.420
location doesn't mean you're necessarily speaking
00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:27.400
to a dead human. It's more complex than that,
00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:31.550
I think. I do genuinely believe it. The more
00:35:31.550 --> 00:35:35.909
we do this, the more questions I have and the
00:35:35.909 --> 00:35:38.449
less I seem to know. And I think that's something
00:35:38.449 --> 00:35:41.110
like, so when we first started Ash was UFO, I
00:35:41.110 --> 00:35:46.309
was paranormal. And then it's become this, this
00:35:46.309 --> 00:35:50.469
thing underneath a big umbrella of whatever it
00:35:50.469 --> 00:36:01.929
is. And I don't, I don't know. There is, we've
00:36:01.929 --> 00:36:05.030
spoken to a demonologist, and again, a lot of
00:36:05.030 --> 00:36:10.489
this is some of its anecdotal feelings people
00:36:10.489 --> 00:36:12.670
have, things that they've been told that can't
00:36:12.670 --> 00:36:18.210
be referenced to a fact -driven evidence guy.
00:36:19.869 --> 00:36:21.789
And to be fair, we all are to a certain extent,
00:36:21.789 --> 00:36:25.150
we need to know. I don't necessarily believe
00:36:25.150 --> 00:36:31.190
a person unless I know A, more about it, B, more
00:36:31.190 --> 00:36:34.329
about the person, and is there any evidence to
00:36:34.329 --> 00:36:38.110
back it up? Without that, you're still having
00:36:38.110 --> 00:36:41.010
to rely on someone's word. But this guy, this
00:36:41.010 --> 00:36:45.630
demonologist, claimed that fallen angels were
00:36:45.630 --> 00:36:48.670
grey aliens. So they weren't actually spirits
00:36:48.670 --> 00:36:53.170
of whatever. They were more of an alien entity
00:36:53.170 --> 00:36:57.289
or non -human intelligence. And we've then spoken
00:36:57.289 --> 00:37:02.969
to a guy recently, who got messages from non
00:37:02.969 --> 00:37:07.150
human intelligence that's allowed him to assist
00:37:07.150 --> 00:37:10.969
with the emotional intelligence programming for
00:37:10.969 --> 00:37:15.409
AI companies. So that's a bit freaky, the more
00:37:15.409 --> 00:37:17.610
I think about that. And as I just said, I thought
00:37:17.610 --> 00:37:22.210
I was thinking to myself, so we got non a NHI,
00:37:22.389 --> 00:37:24.670
helping to program AI potentially from an emotional
00:37:24.670 --> 00:37:28.480
point of view. Yeah. So what You mentioned about
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.199
human spirit. What do you think they are? What
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.800
do you think it might be? That's a very good
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:40.079
question. I've got more evidence. So some of
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.780
the evidence I've got, for example, right? So
00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:45.139
come back to what you just mentioned, there was
00:37:45.139 --> 00:37:50.559
one time there that it's nice and cheap to rent.
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:55.000
So we went away with three people and There was
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.320
one guy who normally books the investigations,
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.239
who runs the group Southern Ghost Society, which
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:05.000
I've investigated with for years. We heard him
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.820
saying, hello, just outside the break room, we
00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:13.980
were sitting there having a cup of tea. He was
00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:16.179
going to go to that night, but then couldn't.
00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:18.579
Then on a separate occasion, we were wandering
00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:21.199
around the end of the night when we What about
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.679
what was packing up? And then we saw myself and
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:25.500
my partner saw him walking towards us and go
00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:28.599
down staircase to a cellar. We then walked past
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.159
that cellar, walked into a room and he was there.
00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:34.440
And this, this concept of ghosts of the living
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.000
has been around for so long. There's some very,
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.039
very well documented cases like the Admiral who
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.719
walked into a mess room and everyone saw him,
00:38:42.739 --> 00:38:45.820
but he was actually just about to die on another
00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:51.050
ship. That to me means that There's no way that's
00:38:51.050 --> 00:38:54.289
a soul of a person. So when we saw a guy called
00:38:54.289 --> 00:38:57.610
Dan walking down some stairs, his soul was in
00:38:57.610 --> 00:39:01.610
the break room, packing up the tierne, not wandering
00:39:01.610 --> 00:39:04.630
around the building. So that more points towards
00:39:04.630 --> 00:39:10.090
if there was some parallel universe where, in
00:39:10.090 --> 00:39:12.809
this first case, Dan did go with us to the investigation
00:39:12.809 --> 00:39:16.050
or did walk down the cellar instead of packing
00:39:16.050 --> 00:39:19.739
up the tierne. and for some brief period of time
00:39:19.739 --> 00:39:23.639
we were able to pick up and witness the other
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:27.599
parallel universe but also the data logging i'm
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.099
picking up i'm looking to see if that's also
00:39:31.099 --> 00:39:33.099
what we're picking up as well because the air
00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:35.559
pressure thing the air flux there's not much
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:38.840
that changes air pressure either the amount of
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:42.179
air that's in the room the altitude you're at
00:39:42.179 --> 00:39:44.960
and the gravity that's pulling it down and if
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.690
the air flux is just sitting on a on a table,
00:39:48.269 --> 00:39:49.949
it's not going up or down. It's not choosing
00:39:49.949 --> 00:39:53.030
altitude. There's very little going to push that
00:39:53.030 --> 00:39:55.070
much air into the room. So the only thing left
00:39:55.070 --> 00:39:58.010
really is gravity. So on those times of picking
00:39:58.010 --> 00:40:02.230
up those anomalies, are we briefly connecting
00:40:02.230 --> 00:40:06.769
to another parallel universe which has slightly
00:40:06.769 --> 00:40:08.909
different physics or different frequencies? So
00:40:08.909 --> 00:40:10.570
we're picking up a different amount of gravity
00:40:10.570 --> 00:40:14.030
briefly. That's kind of where I think I'm coming
00:40:14.030 --> 00:40:21.190
down more than stored personality. But that being
00:40:21.190 --> 00:40:24.510
said, there's some interesting theories, quite
00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:29.010
old ones now, about this concept that our consciousnesses
00:40:29.010 --> 00:40:31.969
don't actually reside in our brains, but our
00:40:31.969 --> 00:40:35.050
bodies are just a vessel for interacting with
00:40:35.050 --> 00:40:38.289
the universe and our consciousnesses exist on
00:40:38.289 --> 00:40:41.469
a higher dimension, so fourth and above, and
00:40:41.469 --> 00:40:44.289
then interact with our bodies in order to move
00:40:44.289 --> 00:40:45.750
around and experience the universe. And when
00:40:45.750 --> 00:40:48.769
we die, we just get disconnected and then our
00:40:48.769 --> 00:40:50.570
consciousnesses then go and connect to another
00:40:50.570 --> 00:40:53.590
body later down the line, which then ties well
00:40:53.590 --> 00:40:56.469
into what people have thought for years and experiences
00:40:56.469 --> 00:40:58.769
people had where their kids remember some past
00:40:58.769 --> 00:41:02.929
life. Maybe that's not a different soul or the
00:41:02.929 --> 00:41:05.769
soul passing down. It's just the body's connected
00:41:05.769 --> 00:41:09.309
to this other dimensional spirit plane. But in
00:41:09.309 --> 00:41:13.480
reality, it's just another dimension. I'm definitely
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:17.900
more coming now on that side rather than somehow
00:41:17.900 --> 00:41:23.340
a personality and there's this there's too many
00:41:23.340 --> 00:41:25.239
bits which you need to interact with the world
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:29.400
so if you believe someone can see you and hear
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:32.579
you then they are picking up on lots of things
00:41:32.579 --> 00:41:35.320
which are so when you talk you move the air you
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.079
change the pressure of the air and that goes
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:39.440
towards them and it hits an air drum where is
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.809
that on on a Let's say a traditional ghost. They
00:41:43.809 --> 00:41:45.750
need mechanical things to pick up the air pressure
00:41:45.750 --> 00:41:47.889
change. And seeing you, they need to be able
00:41:47.889 --> 00:41:49.869
to have receptors which pick up reflected light
00:41:49.869 --> 00:41:52.630
that's bouncing off of you. So there's lots of
00:41:52.630 --> 00:41:56.050
bits which don't really work when you think about
00:41:56.050 --> 00:41:59.489
the things that a ghost would need to have these
00:41:59.489 --> 00:42:01.829
interactions. And don't get me into how we move
00:42:01.829 --> 00:42:05.949
cupboard doors. That one, I can't explain at
00:42:05.949 --> 00:42:09.030
all in any shape or form because I've seen that
00:42:09.030 --> 00:42:11.809
a few times and I had a number of doors go on
00:42:11.809 --> 00:42:19.989
me and yeah, too many questions. That's, um,
00:42:20.650 --> 00:42:29.210
yeah. It's kind of a different perspective on
00:42:29.210 --> 00:42:32.340
similar. theories that we've spoken about before.
00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:35.079
That's a really good kind of perspective on it,
00:42:35.500 --> 00:42:37.880
with the consciousness thing. I was just thinking,
00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:40.039
I wonder whether kind of panel investigation,
00:42:40.820 --> 00:42:41.800
particularly the sort of stuff that you're doing,
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:43.679
in particular with obviously data logging and
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:47.579
evidencing as much as possible, would kind of,
00:42:47.579 --> 00:42:50.300
do you see it coming more mainstream in the scientific
00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:53.320
community at some point, or do you think it's
00:42:53.320 --> 00:43:02.460
still too far from? I've been, I've been hoping
00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:06.500
for that, if I'm honest. I've made some efforts
00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:09.519
to try and connect with people further in the
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.780
scientific community, but the problem is I think,
00:43:13.539 --> 00:43:16.239
I think to do this, you have to have an openness,
00:43:16.820 --> 00:43:19.659
which, which even though you don't necessarily
00:43:19.659 --> 00:43:21.519
believe in a thing, you need to kind of believe
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.380
that the evidence and data will take you to the
00:43:24.380 --> 00:43:28.079
answer. So, you've got to be able to just put
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.239
the bit of your back of your brain saying, I'm
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.380
definitely not talking to someone who's in the
00:43:32.380 --> 00:43:35.320
room with me, way back there, so you completely
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:40.340
go into it. And from the exposure I've had to
00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:43.320
a number of people kind of further along that
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.300
scientific community path, the more I've seen
00:43:46.300 --> 00:43:49.719
is that their focus is on disprove, disprove,
00:43:49.900 --> 00:43:51.500
disprove. Everything that happens, there's an
00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:55.190
explanation, which is true. If you really stretch
00:43:55.190 --> 00:43:57.949
yourself, you can disprove anything. But I'm
00:43:57.949 --> 00:44:00.389
always a big believer in, you have to prove your
00:44:00.389 --> 00:44:04.590
debunks. So if you think that that slamming door
00:44:04.590 --> 00:44:07.469
was the wind, so where is your proof that there
00:44:07.469 --> 00:44:09.429
was wind at that point? You can't just say that
00:44:09.429 --> 00:44:11.849
there was wind without showing the wind. And
00:44:11.849 --> 00:44:15.190
if you haven't, it's not paranormal. It's just
00:44:15.190 --> 00:44:18.530
non -evidenced. And that's why I categorize everything
00:44:18.530 --> 00:44:21.849
that occurs. Some of the things will be A, B
00:44:21.849 --> 00:44:24.570
or C, depending on if we have got any other way
00:44:24.570 --> 00:44:27.650
to try and debunk it. That's our grading system.
00:44:28.110 --> 00:44:31.170
A is when we've run out of ideas to try and debunk,
00:44:31.269 --> 00:44:33.449
and then it moves down the scale from there to
00:44:33.449 --> 00:44:36.750
the point of not having evidence to prove it.
00:44:37.750 --> 00:44:42.409
So I would very much like that, but there are
00:44:42.409 --> 00:44:46.469
a few people I've bumped into that might be good
00:44:46.469 --> 00:44:50.150
to work with because they're trying to bridge
00:44:50.150 --> 00:44:54.219
that gap as well. Speaking to someone, we might
00:44:54.219 --> 00:44:56.619
be able to get something done maybe next year
00:44:56.619 --> 00:44:59.820
now, but because he's also looking into gravity,
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.699
which is now an interesting direction for me,
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:04.079
because that might be a very good indicator.
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:15.119
Do you use AI at all in your research or to help
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.420
identify patterns and such like? Which one do
00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:26.389
you use? Okay. And how do you use it? So, the
00:45:26.389 --> 00:45:31.650
answer is no, not yet. I did a presentation for
00:45:31.650 --> 00:45:34.469
ASAP a while ago, and afterwards I was approached
00:45:34.469 --> 00:45:38.690
by someone who said, you know those millions
00:45:38.690 --> 00:45:44.050
of data points you've got, how about I build,
00:45:44.150 --> 00:45:47.170
this guy who's an expert builder, a large language
00:45:47.170 --> 00:45:49.289
model. which obviously shows a couple of years
00:45:49.289 --> 00:45:52.530
ago, because now we've moved past LLMs, but build
00:45:52.530 --> 00:45:55.469
an LLM based on just your data to then be able
00:45:55.469 --> 00:45:57.969
to then feed you longer term patterns. I said,
00:45:58.010 --> 00:46:00.170
that is great. How do I send you the information?
00:46:00.449 --> 00:46:04.750
And it went dark. So I see that as a very good
00:46:04.750 --> 00:46:08.730
use of AI to actually look for patterns, especially
00:46:08.730 --> 00:46:12.650
across broader spectrums of time. So when I've
00:46:12.650 --> 00:46:15.280
been doing it, it's been visual. I'll upload
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:18.579
our data to the website, and it flags all the
00:46:18.579 --> 00:46:20.480
time as I click to say something's happened.
00:46:21.019 --> 00:46:23.539
I can jump to those points, and if it's a good
00:46:23.539 --> 00:46:25.519
class one, I can then see in graphs what was
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.360
going on. So it's a very manual process, and
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:31.300
it's very specific to remembering what you've
00:46:31.300 --> 00:46:35.219
seen in the past. So I would like to use one.
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:41.360
I just haven't yet. So I did have someone approach
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:42.559
me and then they thought, yep, I'm definitely
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:44.699
up for that. But then we didn't really go ahead.
00:46:46.300 --> 00:46:49.659
If you know anyone, let me know. The thing is
00:46:49.659 --> 00:46:52.159
you could probably do it yourself now. AI is,
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:59.719
I know I use ChuckTPT for helping with recognizing
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.760
patterns. We went to a particular location with
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:07.300
a device that measured things that happened before
00:47:07.300 --> 00:47:14.059
and after. something was recorded and the data
00:47:14.059 --> 00:47:19.260
points, there was like 23 ,000 data points. Just
00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:21.539
put it up within about five seconds. It come
00:47:21.539 --> 00:47:26.619
back with a full scientific report on basically
00:47:26.619 --> 00:47:33.280
everything that it had found with conclusion.
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.980
like what was potentially causing some of these
00:47:37.980 --> 00:47:43.059
particular spikes. And it does it all in minutes
00:47:43.059 --> 00:47:47.039
and seconds rather than it is phenomenal. And
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:52.699
the way ChatGBT is the one I use and Ash uses
00:47:52.699 --> 00:47:55.960
as well. And they've got a new version now called
00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:02.840
Astra 6 and this is another level. It's phenomenal.
00:48:03.150 --> 00:48:07.409
It's the only way I can describe how it thinks.
00:48:08.010 --> 00:48:11.090
I don't, don't get it. It knows exactly how I
00:48:11.090 --> 00:48:13.530
think because I've been using it for years. So
00:48:13.530 --> 00:48:20.210
it knows everything about how I use it. No, no,
00:48:20.230 --> 00:48:23.610
but in a good way. So I, I was on there the other
00:48:23.610 --> 00:48:26.829
day and I said, what, what's this new feature?
00:48:26.989 --> 00:48:30.530
What's this feature? And it's like, Oh my God,
00:48:30.670 --> 00:48:34.340
Greg. So obviously it knows my name. Because
00:48:34.340 --> 00:48:38.679
I tell it we have communication back to them
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:46.900
So I'm healthy best make Anyway, um, I say Hey
00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:57.500
It sorry Sparky Do you got your time alone no
00:48:57.500 --> 00:49:00.280
long story short long story short I said, what's
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:03.480
this feature? It said to me, this is why it does.
00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:07.340
But the interesting bit, Greg, is that we could
00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:13.000
do this with it based on paranormal and this
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.219
would be great for pursuit or this would be great
00:49:16.219 --> 00:49:19.900
for beyond our order. I mean, this would be this
00:49:19.900 --> 00:49:22.159
would be amazing. I'm like, fuck, I hadn't even
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.699
thought about that. I thought about stuff that
00:49:24.699 --> 00:49:26.639
I hadn't even thought from a creative point of
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:29.280
view. It can be really good to give you a different.
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:35.599
Take on on data. Hmm It's not just creating images
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:38.099
for posters that everybody puts up online now
00:49:38.099 --> 00:49:42.079
or don't Don't think I can't even read those
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.940
anymore. They're just it's just like such a mess
00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:48.880
of words all over the places. Yeah, there's no
00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:52.820
kind of a Artistic focus we went with something
00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:54.280
is more important than other things therefore
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:56.940
then you put the focus onto that make that clear
00:49:56.940 --> 00:49:58.699
and then you put details from it you just it's
00:49:58.699 --> 00:50:02.309
just like a a wall yeah i think um a lot of people
00:50:02.309 --> 00:50:04.949
just put create me this poster but going backwards
00:50:04.949 --> 00:50:07.610
and forwards with it to refine stuff is good
00:50:07.610 --> 00:50:13.710
and i know um it's great for doing research um
00:50:13.710 --> 00:50:17.210
on a lot of stuff it really is so it yeah it
00:50:17.210 --> 00:50:20.309
might be yeah i like that i like the idea of
00:50:20.309 --> 00:50:22.989
the data crunching i think about a way of packaging
00:50:22.989 --> 00:50:27.000
it um don't even need to if you got like Say,
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.559
say, for example, CSV file of stuff. Yeah. It's
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:34.159
a bit bigger than that. Honestly, you could tell
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.579
it what format it all is in and it'll go upload
00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:43.599
it. And then it will just. Obviously it. With
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:47.219
any kind of stats and information, like you mentioned,
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:49.340
you can make it, you could debunk it. You could,
00:50:49.579 --> 00:50:51.539
you can make it to whatever you want it to look
00:50:51.539 --> 00:50:55.489
like really. But as a number cruncher and. And
00:50:55.489 --> 00:50:58.170
a pattern recognizer is phenomenal because if
00:50:58.170 --> 00:51:01.809
it's just looking at that data set And it's not
00:51:01.809 --> 00:51:03.849
looking anywhere else. It's quite good. Yeah,
00:51:03.849 --> 00:51:08.409
I found that with with stuff we we get We get
00:51:08.409 --> 00:51:12.090
sent all sorts of stuff me and ash in PDF format
00:51:12.090 --> 00:51:14.929
and everything you can just upload upload it
00:51:14.929 --> 00:51:18.710
to Your AI and go. Can you summarize this? Can
00:51:18.710 --> 00:51:21.429
you can you tell me a bit more about the author?
00:51:21.530 --> 00:51:25.420
Can you tell me what? a summary of each section,
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:29.679
what it all means. It can really help you digest
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:34.440
a lot of information very quickly. I do find
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:41.820
that it helps me a lot when I'm done. I'm done
00:51:41.820 --> 00:51:48.539
and it can really help be creative for me. That's
00:51:48.539 --> 00:51:50.880
how I use it anyway. Yeah, I'm thinking kind
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:55.400
of... Because all the environmental data is stored
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:59.940
in, it is literally millions of rows across different
00:51:59.940 --> 00:52:04.559
tables to be able to then pull back into it the
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.699
timestamps of events, which we've got good evidence
00:52:07.699 --> 00:52:10.679
for. So we need to kind of, because when I upload
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:12.159
the data to the website, it kind of splits it
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:14.800
out so that then we can look at events and categorize
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.940
them. So then we need to feed back those data
00:52:17.940 --> 00:52:20.980
points, which are good, back into the the environmental
00:52:20.980 --> 00:52:23.199
stuff for then it to then be able to look for
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:27.400
patterns specifically around those points and
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.659
then after then look at those points if there's
00:52:29.659 --> 00:52:31.320
any patterns and sort of look across the broader
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:35.719
picture because what I would look there for to
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.860
be useful is if it did pick up patterns when
00:52:38.860 --> 00:52:41.460
we hadn't flag something occurred go back to
00:52:41.460 --> 00:52:43.760
the footage and see if we can find something
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:46.280
because that's what I've done with say like the
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.639
Aeroflux is great for that if it's gone off a
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.099
lot and you've not really seen anything. Going
00:52:51.099 --> 00:52:53.699
back to audio recorders, you might actually be
00:52:53.699 --> 00:52:56.239
picking something up which you didn't know about.
00:52:56.699 --> 00:52:59.000
So I'd want to see the same sort of thing from
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:00.699
the AI results that it's also going to be able
00:53:00.699 --> 00:53:04.860
to pick stuff up, which we hadn't actually flagged
00:53:04.860 --> 00:53:06.860
at that point. That'd be a good proof if it worked
00:53:06.860 --> 00:53:12.619
or not. I've got a question because around the
00:53:12.619 --> 00:53:16.360
devices. I'm kind of touching it a little bit,
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:18.639
whether you've had any kind of thought around,
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:24.059
because I do UFO stuff mostly, and whether there's
00:53:24.059 --> 00:53:26.400
any thought behind any of your equipment that
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:30.460
could potentially be used in something like if
00:53:30.460 --> 00:53:32.380
a, like a light's been seen in the sky, what
00:53:32.380 --> 00:53:37.320
kind of device it may spot something or detect
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:39.960
something, something like that. Is there anything,
00:53:40.340 --> 00:53:42.760
kind of any thoughts around that? Yeah, because
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:47.619
I follow it a little bit still myself, seeing
00:53:47.619 --> 00:53:50.260
how we're getting along in the disclosure ups
00:53:50.260 --> 00:53:54.800
and downs. Not very far. Yeah, a few steps forward,
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:59.480
a few steps back, rubbish bits of footage, which
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:01.699
you know they put in there just so they can debunk
00:54:01.699 --> 00:54:03.780
them later, that sort of thing. But if you look
00:54:03.780 --> 00:54:09.690
back at, I mentioned before this crossover. Recently,
00:54:09.829 --> 00:54:14.250
there was a guy who was somewhere in South America
00:54:14.250 --> 00:54:17.710
and he'd been witnessing things in the sky. And
00:54:17.710 --> 00:54:19.550
then afterwards he'd start seeing dog people
00:54:19.550 --> 00:54:23.469
in his garden and then having things move around
00:54:23.469 --> 00:54:26.489
his house. And I thought, oh, that's strange.
00:54:26.730 --> 00:54:29.730
How is all this connection with the thing I'm
00:54:29.730 --> 00:54:33.269
normally interested in going on? And then I used
00:54:33.269 --> 00:54:36.690
to have an Amiga and then took it down from the
00:54:36.690 --> 00:54:39.699
loft. It was working still amazingly. And I had
00:54:39.699 --> 00:54:43.239
a UFO public domain magazine, which is kind of
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:46.579
how the internet didn't really exist. So people
00:54:46.579 --> 00:54:48.760
had to post each other disks with information.
00:54:49.260 --> 00:54:52.440
And I put that on there. And there was a story
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:56.460
from the 90s on this disk about exactly that
00:54:56.460 --> 00:55:00.400
as well. There's people witnessing dog people
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:04.199
around their house or in the area, and then things
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:05.659
being around the house. And I thought, wow, that's
00:55:05.659 --> 00:55:07.519
a weird coincidence. It was like, It was like
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:11.260
a week apart. But beyond that, one of the most
00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:15.900
common things you get if one has landed is the
00:55:15.900 --> 00:55:19.980
radiation, which may be or may not, let's go
00:55:19.980 --> 00:55:23.460
into the theoretical style, may or may not be
00:55:23.460 --> 00:55:28.340
something non -human. It might be human that's
00:55:28.340 --> 00:55:32.230
a bad copy of a non -human thing. But that in
00:55:32.230 --> 00:55:34.929
itself might be useful, something that was recording
00:55:34.929 --> 00:55:37.670
the radiation, the magnetic fields to then see
00:55:37.670 --> 00:55:39.889
if it's detecting something which is suddenly
00:55:39.889 --> 00:55:44.090
there. I've had that here. So just between us,
00:55:44.369 --> 00:55:47.710
us. I live not too far away from there. There's
00:55:47.710 --> 00:55:51.809
an American base with helicopters going by all
00:55:51.809 --> 00:55:54.750
the time. And occasionally when I'm testing things
00:55:54.750 --> 00:55:57.250
like a radiation knocker, it sees these sudden
00:55:57.250 --> 00:55:59.050
spikes when it was going over. I was like, ooh,
00:55:59.170 --> 00:56:03.179
what's that? Where that come from so there are
00:56:03.179 --> 00:56:05.320
some there are some logging things which might
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:09.480
be useful Along to them back up stuff that then
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:11.559
you see you can then go okay But that's also
00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:14.280
detected some energy coming down from it as well
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:18.739
as be able to see that the light which is a Frequency
00:56:18.739 --> 00:56:21.460
of emf as well to actually then detect other
00:56:21.460 --> 00:56:23.119
frequencies and then be able to record those
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:25.440
that's Quite useful to back up that what you
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:28.000
saw wasn't just your eyes or reflections. It
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:30.800
actually was there and you picked up other frequencies
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:35.800
of EMF off it. Just thinking. Yeah, I suppose
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:38.500
it's more difficult in the sense of, don't know
00:56:38.500 --> 00:56:43.199
where UFOs are going to be. Unless you make them
00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:46.880
come to you. That's the thing now. Yeah, I suppose.
00:56:47.300 --> 00:56:49.980
Yeah, the human initiated. Yeah, actually, that's
00:56:49.980 --> 00:56:51.699
a good point. Actually, the human initiated when
00:56:51.699 --> 00:56:54.880
you do CE5 stuff, you could have the devices.
00:56:55.699 --> 00:56:58.039
Yeah. That'd be a good way to back them up and
00:56:58.039 --> 00:56:59.260
have them just a video because no one believes
00:56:59.260 --> 00:57:03.960
video anymore. Yeah. Greg's AI saw fit to that.
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:08.519
Yeah. Sorry about that. Made it far more difficult
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:13.579
to prove anything now. But interestingly, when
00:57:13.579 --> 00:57:21.940
we were in Denomere a few years ago, we got something
00:57:21.940 --> 00:57:26.190
on film. I had something weird happen in the
00:57:26.190 --> 00:57:29.409
headphones during S -Test and then there was
00:57:29.409 --> 00:57:34.409
a third thing captured on a microphone as well.
00:57:34.769 --> 00:57:37.510
As this thing, these things were spotted going
00:57:37.510 --> 00:57:41.269
over. So yeah, maybe definitely something in
00:57:41.269 --> 00:57:44.489
it. So there's the interesting thing then. Did
00:57:44.489 --> 00:57:47.989
anyone hear anything? So you were on S -Test.
00:57:48.210 --> 00:57:52.280
So I was on S -Test. No, I heard, I heard. this
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:56.000
horrendous crackling sound. And I referenced
00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:01.519
that in the video. There's a similar kind of
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:04.699
interference on the radio at the same time. At
00:58:04.699 --> 00:58:07.559
the same time, another camera is picking up whatever
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:13.239
it was in the sky. Okay. So all those things
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:16.659
were three different frequencies of EMF, which
00:58:16.659 --> 00:58:20.570
is quite encouraging because I have a theory
00:58:20.570 --> 00:58:22.389
I've been working on for a long time, that when
00:58:22.389 --> 00:58:24.550
people get EVPs, it's because they're picking
00:58:24.550 --> 00:58:28.050
up voices which only exist through radio frequency
00:58:28.050 --> 00:58:32.449
EMF, which aren't broadcast radio. And that's
00:58:32.449 --> 00:58:34.269
literally what you got there. And you evidence
00:58:34.269 --> 00:58:37.690
it by seeing it, so one frequency of EMF, and
00:58:37.690 --> 00:58:42.349
then going through the radio. But also, if there's
00:58:42.349 --> 00:58:45.860
any amplitude to the EMF, then that will... be
00:58:45.860 --> 00:58:48.639
picked up by the amplifier in a spirit box, for
00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:50.980
example, and just pass with the amplifier and
00:58:50.980 --> 00:58:54.559
go out to the speaker. So in those cases, as
00:58:54.559 --> 00:58:58.579
well as the STCB, the radio isn't doing anything.
00:58:58.699 --> 00:59:01.199
The picking up of specific FM band is nothing.
00:59:01.820 --> 00:59:05.000
It's picking up that EMF wave, hitting the amplifier
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:06.900
or the wiring or your earphones going down to
00:59:06.900 --> 00:59:09.420
it. And then that's coming out of the speaker
00:59:09.420 --> 00:59:12.179
or into the earphones. So that's quite good.
00:59:12.219 --> 00:59:14.920
That's three different sources. Pointing towards
00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:18.179
the same anomaly. Yeah. And it was, it was definitely
00:59:18.179 --> 00:59:21.780
not a normal spirit box sound. It was, it was
00:59:21.780 --> 00:59:28.440
horrible. Didn't want that. No, I couldn't even
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:32.099
see what was, or even hear what they were doing
00:59:32.099 --> 00:59:36.960
to, to video, um, this thing. So, yeah, it was,
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:40.079
uh, that was a weird moment. That was right at
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:43.190
the end of the night as well. Yeah. So did you
00:59:43.190 --> 00:59:46.989
actually record it at all on anything, like through
00:59:46.989 --> 00:59:50.650
an audio recorder? Someone mentioned someone
00:59:50.650 --> 00:59:55.389
picked the recording up. So a recorder has captured
00:59:55.389 --> 01:00:00.309
the audio, but not what I heard, what it picked
01:00:00.309 --> 01:00:04.849
up. Then SpiritVolks, no, that was just me on
01:00:04.849 --> 01:00:08.469
the headphones. And then the cameras picked up
01:00:08.469 --> 01:00:12.039
these objects going over. It might be worthwhile,
01:00:12.179 --> 01:00:13.780
I'm not sure if you've done that or not yet,
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:17.179
put the audio through a spectrum analyzer and
01:00:17.179 --> 01:00:21.420
see where the frequency lands on it. We don't
01:00:21.420 --> 01:00:23.500
have the audio. It depends if Danny Moss has
01:00:23.500 --> 01:00:26.260
still got the audio in it. Danny Moss might have
01:00:26.260 --> 01:00:29.599
it, yeah. So it was his recorder that picked
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:38.110
it up. Yeah. Yeah. One of the moments that, and
01:00:38.110 --> 01:00:42.869
again, didn't really until he was like editing
01:00:42.869 --> 01:00:46.530
that that's when it was picked up that these
01:00:46.530 --> 01:00:50.809
other events all timed at the same, same thing.
01:00:51.250 --> 01:00:57.289
So. Yeah. Yeah. That's very important. Um, audio
01:00:57.289 --> 01:00:59.750
everywhere, video everywhere, but it's always
01:00:59.750 --> 01:01:03.190
synced. So then I. times verbally timestamped
01:01:03.190 --> 01:01:05.510
it so it goes to the editor you can then jump
01:01:05.510 --> 01:01:08.550
between each thing just to Get the timings on
01:01:08.550 --> 01:01:11.690
it and and just debunking mainly when people
01:01:11.690 --> 01:01:16.250
slam doors So it's all timed. It's all time create
01:01:16.250 --> 01:01:19.130
by the time we didn't realize that it was all
01:01:19.130 --> 01:01:21.949
the same time all the same time Yeah, which is
01:01:21.949 --> 01:01:25.690
frustrating. Anyway, I mean the estus me me saying
01:01:25.690 --> 01:01:28.800
it was and the video that's clearly happening
01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:31.460
at the same time, because you can see it on another
01:01:31.460 --> 01:01:35.099
video camera. The pickup of the crackling and
01:01:35.099 --> 01:01:37.840
interference on the other recorder, that was
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:40.780
not done till later. Yeah, the fact that it's
01:01:40.780 --> 01:01:42.639
crackling is really interesting as well, because
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:46.840
it's saying that the device is being squared
01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:50.380
out, it's being overloaded. So you're just hearing
01:01:50.380 --> 01:01:55.579
it, just hitting its maxes. That feels to me
01:01:55.579 --> 01:02:01.389
it was a higher frequency. Yeah. But yeah, maybe
01:02:01.389 --> 01:02:05.170
next time you can catch it. I know that audio.
01:02:06.690 --> 01:02:11.750
Weirdly, weirdly that it was around this weekend,
01:02:14.050 --> 01:02:18.130
three years ago that we did that. Anniversary.
01:02:19.650 --> 01:02:23.090
Weird timing, yeah. Weird timing. Because it
01:02:23.090 --> 01:02:27.300
ties in with. this musical I'm going to on Saturday.
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:31.280
All right. It was all on the same, same weekend.
01:02:31.579 --> 01:02:33.840
Well, I hope the musical sounds a bit better
01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:37.579
than listening to a spirit box. She's got the
01:02:37.579 --> 01:02:40.320
voice of an angel. Well, there you go. That's,
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:44.239
that's handy. Well done. You've earned your brownie
01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:50.639
points now. One last question for me, just as
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:54.320
we start to wrap up is if... You had like unlimited
01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:56.300
funding. If you said, here's someone went, here's
01:02:56.300 --> 01:02:58.539
a million pounds going to grant you. Uh, I love
01:02:58.539 --> 01:03:00.559
what you do is a million pounds. What would you
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:03.059
love? What was the dream kind of something you'd
01:03:03.059 --> 01:03:09.679
love to do? So I have some plans for the future
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:14.420
to try and, um, record more things because at
01:03:14.420 --> 01:03:18.179
the moment it's just me doing this, but, um,
01:03:18.380 --> 01:03:20.900
planning is for it to go out there with other
01:03:20.900 --> 01:03:25.480
people doing it. and in specific locations. But
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.420
if I had unlimited funds, I'd like to get a location
01:03:28.420 --> 01:03:32.059
that has proved interesting and then just be
01:03:32.059 --> 01:03:35.099
able to study that for long periods of time to
01:03:35.099 --> 01:03:38.480
get as much information about that place as possible
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:43.719
and then tie that into other buildings that also
01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:45.760
have good experiences and then just be able to
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:49.940
kind of find patterns across them. Maybe bunging
01:03:49.940 --> 01:03:52.590
all the data into chat GPT. So it takes some
01:03:52.590 --> 01:03:55.309
of the load off. So buying lots of chat GPT credits
01:03:55.309 --> 01:03:59.289
probably as well. But yeah, I think owning a
01:03:59.289 --> 01:04:01.250
place, yeah, let's go owning, owning a place
01:04:01.250 --> 01:04:04.389
which is very interesting to investigate and
01:04:04.389 --> 01:04:07.769
productive, just so we could really study it.
01:04:07.849 --> 01:04:12.210
I think that's, that's what I'd like to do. Awesome.
01:04:13.769 --> 01:04:16.909
So thank you very much. It's been, it's a great
01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:19.219
It's been a great chat. It's been somewhat different
01:04:19.219 --> 01:04:21.760
than what we talk about, kind of going into the
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.800
devices and stuff. So thanks for sharing your
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:26.900
knowledge and experience. Thanks for coming on.
01:04:27.179 --> 01:04:28.780
It's been a great chat. I've enjoyed going down
01:04:28.780 --> 01:04:33.260
some real rabbit holes. That's been brilliant.
01:04:33.380 --> 01:04:33.920
Thanks, Andy.
