Previous research in electromagnetic and geomagnetic fields (EMF and GMF) and their relationship to paranormal phenomena has been performed under the theoretical assumptions of hallucination due to GMF fields. The current study tests the possibility that nonhallucinatory paranormal phenomena are also associated with EMF/GMF fields. EMF and GMF perturbations were examined in context of collected potential phenomena with data logging equipment at a haunted site with no electricity. Overall results indicate that EMF and GMF fields were significantly greater in both magnitude and variability inside-the-location compared to outside-the-location baseline measurements. Differences in GMF magnitude were small compared to EMF. Through correlation, EMF/GMF fields were demonstrated to change in range and location throughout the duration of the investigation. Results involving individual reviewed phenomena indicate that phenomena are strongly and significantly associated with serial EMF and GMF spikes, that both increases and decreases in EMF/GMF fields are not differentially predictive of phenomena, and that increases in the number (i.e., duration) of serial spikes do not differentially predict phenomena.
