The Trifield Natural EMF meter: ".....by far the best ever available priced under $2,000.00." - Loyd Auerbach, Director of the Office of Paranormal Investigations.

Among the instruments utilized by paranormal and parapsychological researchers in segments of SIGHTINGS, PSI FACTOR: CHRONICLES OF THE PARANORMAL, STRANGE UNIVERSE, 48 HOURS ("Putting Paranormal to the Test"), NEXTSTEP (Discovery Channel program), the Ghost Detector (Trifield Natural EMF Meter) was invented, designed, engineered and produced by Dr. William B. Lee Phd (Physics) in late 1995.

Recognized for it's utility in paranormal and parapsychological research, the device detects changes in extremely weak static (or "natural") electric and magnetic fields. A compact, 9-volt battery operated, hand held unit (see photo) the meter is simple to use, just turn the knob to select magnetic, sum, electric, radio / microwave (handy to determine relative intensities of cell telephone fields) or battery test (check this position prior to heading out into the field), to assure the battery has enough juice for your planned foray.

One can switch the Ghost Detector knob to the SUM position on the meter, which combines any changes in the electric field to any changes in the magnetic field, so that if either field increases or decreases, the needle will rise above zero. The volume (tone threshold) of the built-in alarm side knob, on the right side of the device, can be adjusted and will signal a change if the gauge needle deflection is significant. The tone can be silenced by turning the knob counterclockwise all the way.

Paranormal & Parapsychological Researchers find the Ghost Detector simplifies detection of entities or phenomena which disrupt existing fields, since the meter is engineered to ignore man-made powerlines and appliances, etc., eliminating a plethora of false "positives". This feature is extremely uncommon in instruments priced under $2,000!

Stationary readings tend to be the most reliable. Some Ghost Detector owners position video cams, etc. to record overnight changes. Since construction materials, man-made electromagnetic devices, etc., generally do not interfere with readings, the Ghost Detector can be placed indoors and work equally well in detecting activity on the interior and exterior of the subject dwelling or building.

The built-in tone allows the Ghost Detector to be used in the dark to detect rapid changes in the magnetic or electric fields facilitating twilight and evening, field scanning (including dark moon or "pitch black" conditions).

The meter is sensitive to changes of as little as 0.5% of the strength of the Earth's magnetic field, and the tone will sound whether the field increases or decreases. If the magnetic field then becomes stable for more than about five seconds, the tone will stop and the needle will return to zero. The meter will remain at rest until the field changes again. The threshold level, or "squelch", of the tone is adjustable. The user determines the amount of change in the magnetic field (within a 0.5 second interval) required to sound the tone. If the field changes by the threshold amount, the tone will sound at a low pitch. If the amount of change is larger, the pitch of the tone will be higher.

When the dial is set to electric, the meter is sensitive to electric fields as weak as 3 V/m (volts per meter). To illustrate just how feeble a field this is, a 10'x10'x10' room filled with a field of this strength has a total amount of energy equivalent to that required to lift a single grain of table salt 1/50th of an inch. Indoors, electric fields typically fluctuate 1 or 2 V/m. By setting the minimum sensitivity to change at 3V/m, we have designed the meter to disregard this "background noise". Human beings and animals usually emit an electric field which is easily detectable using the Ghost Detector. In fact, the instrument can be utilized as a motion-activated intruder alarm. This extreme sensitivity allows the meter to detect the presence of a person through a wall. Though not foolproof in this capacity (occasionally a person will carry no electric charge and thus be "invisible" to the meter), the extraordinary sensitivity is of interest to researchers in the field of parapsychology, especially "ghost hunters".

The instrument was originally designed to satisfy the need for natural field measurements in specialized research areas. It can detect "geomagnetic storms", caused by unusual solar activity interacting with the ionosphere resulting in rapid changes of up to 10% in the Earth's magnetic field, as well as the electrical activity of ordinary thunderstorms. Ball lightning should, in theory, be associated with a strong magnetic field and magnetization of metal has been reported with some UFO sightings. When set on "magnetic", the device will signal the movement of any strong magnetic source in the sky, even if the sky is cloudy or the source dips behind a hill.

The Ghost Detector / Trifield Natural EMF Meter is also called Model 1 and is the most useful of all Trifield meters for paranormal / parapsychological field work. An alkaline battery will last for approximately 50 hours of use.

The radio / microwave setting is primarily useful for surveillance device detection (industrial "bugs", etc.) as well as microwave oven leaks, cellular phone radiation (enabling the user to select a cell phone with a lower RF / Microwave field emission), etc.

Another version of the Trifield Natural EMF Meter was produced, the Model 2 , and equipped with a probe which is primarily useful for detecting extremely high altitude UFO's., and is available at a higher cost. READ MORE HERE
