Searching for the Paranormal in Delmarva!

Definitions

These are our definitions and explanations of normal and paranormal activities that we have encountered during  our ghost hunting investigations.  Our definitions may not be Webster's worthy but we do try. And we will update and change the definitions as we gather evidence.  The medical definitions are a combination from Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary and many years of experience in the medical field.

Accommodation  1) generally meaning adjustment or adaptation; 2) as related to one of our more sensitive tools - our eye(s) it is the ability of our eye to adjust the amount of light entering it, the curvature of the lens +/or the shape of the eye itself to be able to focus at different distances.

Acephalo (prefix) without a head.

Achromacyte a decolorized erythrocyte (red blood cell) hemoglobin which makes the cell red in color is lacking.  Synonym: Achromatocyte, Ghost Corpuscle.

Amorphous without a distinct form.

Anomaly something outside the normal or expected.

Ante Mortem latin meaning before death.

Apparitions are the "Holy Grail" of the ghost hunter.  A ghostly form that can be seen.  This is a chance to have photographic evidence and/or video evidence of a spirit manifestation of someone who has lived in physical form and now resides in the non-physical but may not know it.

Asystole without a heartbeat.

Aura  1) a sensation some epileptics experience prior to a seizure.  It may be psycic or a sensory hallucination of smell, taste, sight or sound.  Also some migraine sufferers experience visual sensory phenomenon.  2) the complex electrical field that surronds every living thing.  We have found that certain colors mean different things, such as red might mean you are outgoing, blue may mean you are not. 

Black Death decribes a condition in the Middle Ages when massive epidemics occurred in Europe characterized by abrupt onset, fever, and chills.  Bubonic or Pneumonic Plague.

Cadaver a corpse or a body used for dissection.

Cadaverous resembling, especially having the color or appearance of a corpse.

Cognition "Awareness with perception, reasoning, intuition, and memory; the mental process by which knowledge is aquired."

Electromagnetic Field (EMF)  The energy field of the Earth.  It causes the compass to point north, surrounds each living thing and fluctuations in the EMF may indicate paranormal activity.

Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) ghostly voices captured on audio recording.

Electronic Noise Phenomenon (ENP) a sub division of evps, described as disembodied footsteps, rocking noises basically any noise that is not a voice.  This is a new sub-classification that we have discovered and have decided to name this classification. 

Ghosts are what we are looking for!!   Basically,  ghost are the essence of a person that has remained after their physical body has died.  Ghosts can be interactive or memory.

Manifestation is the gathering energies of a paranormal source, to become visible in our physical world.

Memory Sight is a "shadow" of something you have seen earlier and your eyes have just taken a long time to process.  Not that this is the only explaination but it suits for now.  Send us shadow images and let us look at them.

Mists are smoke-like occurrances that can be attributed to ecto-plasm dispersion or a regrouping or forming of an entity.  Mist can be smoke, fog, and even your breath.  Real mists seem to have a gray or blue color where smoke may have more of a yellow or white look.

Orbs are natural occurring energy "balls".  Orbs can be manifestations, dust, dew, pollen or moisture.  Basically we don't put much stock in orbs but some are cool to look at on film.  Orbs have been seen in different colors, to our knowledge this means nothing.  Colors are just the infrared spectrum you so happen to catch at the time of the picure.  Now orbs in video that seem to have their own light source is a totally different thing, not saying if you caught a orb on video that is is you grandmother but it may be considered.

Plasma Strings are, like orbs, naturally occurring strings or streaks of colors that some say are warps between the physical and non-physical world.  We have seen yellow, green and red so far and only in cemetaries.

Shadows or shadow people and dark figures that appear usually out of the corner of your eye.  These have been a subject of conversation for many years, are they ghosts or apparitions?  No one really knows it could be something else like what we call memory sight.

Vortex   A swirling mass of ectoplamsic energy, possibly a ghost attempting to manifest or a doorway/portal to another plane of existance.
