Hi George -
Please don't hate me, but... The object is called a thermometer and is available at your local hardware. You use it to map cold spots.  If the cold spots move around, then you probably have some kind of ghost using patterns in the air to hover in. That's about the time that I'd get very interested. There are heat sensitive "thermometer tapes" that could be scattered around, to give an impression of where your visiroes are wandering.

If cold spots don't move, and can't be traced to drafts etc, they represent favored locations of some sort - you might try running a recorder in one of them to see if you get any electrical effects.

To my knowledge, nobody else has ever created a "spirit meter". Even the electrical "talk to the dead" gizmos generally require a medium to operate them.  However, cold spots and balls of light and similar things can be observed readily. Yhen maybe you can get multiple signs, like cold and noisy, etc.

Well cant we get some kind of meter to pick up energy from smells of perfume.I get these in my door ways and in the hall area.If a spirit is present,would not the energy be picked up from the smell alone/

Hi Guys-
For phenomena such as spirit perfume, emotional sensations etc, you'll need a living receptor that is sensitive.  The reason is that, as Matthew said, this is not necessarily a true physical effect, but instead, a sensation in the mind. 

If you are actually experiencing these things, then my suggestion would be to set up a scale of some sort, "None", "Some", "Lots" or whatever, and then map a profile around the room. If more people are sensitive to the sensations, then multiple mappings would be good. I'd suggest eiher a 3 value or 4 value scale.

Thermographic imaging is expensive, but can locate physically chilly areas. If these are actually cold spots, then they represent a physical phenomenon - the question is whether you can measure them. If they're psychic phenomena only, then there will be no difference from other spots.

A physical cold spot rpresents a region in which the randommotions of the air have been quieted a bit, leaving a field of energetic relationships that potentially can support the viewpoint of a spirit. But purely psychic effects might give this or any other sensation without physical change, and the best we can do is to get sensitives to map them.

I'd be interested in what you discover.

This is a favorite topic of mine, mostly because I can't fully decypher it. However, "cold spots" seem to be natural phenomena that can actually be measured. Similarly, electronic recordings of various sorts seem to be measurable phenomena, but only in very rare instances, and very imperfectly.  I know of no case in which anyone has been able to measure a spirit with a gauss meter, although many have tried. I do recall seeing recorded images of "balls of light" or "streaks" that seemed reasonably likely to be spiritual in essence.

As I understand it, the idea of cold spots being useful for spirits is that the random motions of the air are to some degree stilled, that's why they're "cold". In that situation, there is a natural tendency for energy to flow into the cold spot, which must have some kind of mechanism to stay cold, like convection etc. That means that there is a more or less linear flow of energy that might be useful for embodiment of critical characteristics of awareness. In the same way, when two or more electronic interactions become  equi-probable, then any kind of influence capable of upsetting the balance can bias them to go this way or that way. If this comes to focus in a place with a sufficient field intensity it could presumably produce light effects of some sort. Then there follows a series of subordinate effects, all of which seems potentially able to give rise to that whispery kind of speech associated with magnetic tape, or the blurry light seen in some spirit phots.

If we begin with the idea of a material world, this kind of thinking is about as good as we get, but if we begin with the idea that the world is primarily a recognition of interacting thought forms emanated from the Creator, then we have no matter at all, and yet it all looks the same and behaves in the same way. n place of material boundaries we have logical limitations, more orless the same thing. In that case, all perception is spiritual, and the "miracle" is that we somehow can disentagle the putative "physical world" from it, since that represents the basis of thought that we all share.  If you believe in Oneness, this is a far simpler way to view matters than to try to produce spiritual effects from obdurate matter.

That said, I still vote for a human receptor as being superior.

Hey doc,what about people who think there not dead.By the way,would you send me your email address again.I have tryed about 4 times to email you,but it comes back to me.George

I didnt take it that the 'spirit meter' idea was to contact those in the spirit world but rather to provide supportive physical evidence. Several of the better more credible mediums (and lots of the less credible ones lol) always describe loved ones as "being with you" or "he was with you when your baby was born" etc which implies a sort of physical type presence and also some kind of 'viewpoint'. Now even though the world of spirit is on a spirtual plane who's to say that interaction with the physical plane doesn't create phenomena like cold spots etc that can be registered detected and measured.
