What Is EMF in Paranormal Investigations?
EMF stands for Electromagnetic Field.
In everyday life, electromagnetic fields are produced by electrical wiring, appliances and electronic devices. During paranormal investigations, EMF meters are used to monitor changes in these fields within a location.
EMF monitoring has become one of the most common practices in modern ghost hunting.

Does EMF Prove Paranormal Activity?
No.
EMF readings alone cannot prove the presence of paranormal activity.
Experienced investigators use EMF equipment as one part of a broader investigation process and always consider natural explanations.
