The SERM Theory

Spectral Emotion to Radiofrequency Manifestation Theory

by Ben Robison

It is pretty common knowledge that most paranormal researchers in this field have their own theories & beliefs. This is possibly due to the results from their own studies or through research on this topic. Nonetheless, I am no exception. Mine is based on both, as some of theirs may well be also. They may also find that some of what I’ll be talking about will either overlap or directly correlate to their theories or beliefs.

Let’s start off with energy. Energy comes in many forms. There is thermal, chemical, radiant, nuclear, elastic, mechanical, luminous, sound, electrical, and magnetic energy. For the most part what I’ll be covering will focus on the last two; electrical and magnetic energy. This is not to negate that the other forms of energy come into play here though. Now, with all due respect and recognition to each theory out there, I see more relevance that lends credence to and / or supports the theory that spirits (intelligent, residual, human, non-human, etc.) can exist on many radiofrequencies. Radiofrequency is a derivative of both electrical and magnetic energies, making it much more difficult for us to capture them as the range of frequencies is wide and layered. It’s not just the common frequencies thought of on the radio or TV, it includes any & all of them; from the extreme low, up to the extreme high. Knowing what frequency they’ll show up on, at any given moment, is even more difficult and there lies our challenge.

For spirits, it may come down to an emotion. Whether induced by provocation or a genuine gesture, we may invoke a change in the frequency in which they might communicate through. The same could be said for an imprinted event recorded in the fabric surrounding the episode. Whatever emotions were preserved in the landscape may from time to time garner enough energy on that particular frequency to activate the playback of this documented event; hence energizing a residual haunting. The human body is a complex electrical system. We even have a special group of cells called cardiac myocytes that are responsible for generating the electrical impulses that keep the heart pumping along with other functions. We have also discovered that human emotions also have their own frequencies, and when we are having a particular emotion it changes our frequency overall as well. This introduces the neurobiological dynamic of this theory with the body working as its own power plant creating electrical signals and possessing its own magnetic field; the two combined allow for radiofrequency naturally. As emotions change, so do the frequencies, and the body transmits these signals, essentially acting as a biological transponder.

There are caveats to this though. Being aware that certain frequencies are more vulnerable to the ingress of “noise” than others is an important dynamic to factor in with regard to my theory. It is also well known that there is more noise during the civilized, technology driven human daytime we reside in. Yes, I also recognize that there is noise around the clock. However, even in the field I work in (telecommunication), we perform maintenance procedures in the early AM hours as there is less impact due to lower usage. As an example, take a look at a graph I took a snapshot of from Google’s monitoring graph system. As you can see, it reflects the dip in traffic in the wee hours of the morning. Now, please understand that I am not trying to wrap this theory all up in a neat little package referencing the frequencies used in the telecom world; rather I am using this as it offers good visuals that precisely corresponds to the SERM theory and why, as paranormal researchers, we should investigate between the hours of midnight to 4 AM (locally). Humans are cyclic and the things we’ve created & surround ourselves with, more often than not, maintain this same pattern. That being said, I believe that my readers will be able to put two & two together and see the full picture here.

So, if spirits reside in these frequencies and there is more interference during the daytime due to increased “traffic” on a larger scale of frequencies, it seems that the chances of getting a “clearer picture” would be when there is a lull in frequency usage; therefore investigating between midnight and 4 AM will increase our odds of making contact with spirits. It is also plausible that these influxes of frequencies have attributed to “fueling” these spirits and, in turn, allowing for more frequent encounters. What needs to be done now, in my humble opinion, is for more equipment to be designed that can measure the full frequency range which encompasses sound, light, radio (Extremely Low Frequency – ELF all the way to Extremely High Frequency – EHF), neurobiological, etc. A full spectrum camera, for instance, would also be able to be coupled with software that could tell us what frequency an artifact in question is. Or complimenting a full spectrum camera with the capability to take thermal photos as well, again offering the frequency of an anomaly with the software.

It seems we are focusing on devices that measure a certain range of frequencies, and most don’t even record them. I must also make acknowledgement with respect to FCC regulations and understand that some frequencies are prohibited without special access or licenses. This should not be a deterrent, but a challenge that can be achieved through mass support & efforts within the paranormal research community. I would love to see a device that could trigger a photo to be snapped or a video to start recording as a result of EMF spikes, thermal hits, and uncommon frequency usage. This device would have the capability to record video, audio, photos, EMF, radio, thermal, etc. Then we would use the software to determine the frequency in which the captured anomalies in question were sitting on. When spirits change frequency due to varying emotions our gear could monitor and capture these moments. We could take it farther & farther, but right now we look through a peephole when we should be surveying through a telescope. We’re waiting for them to manifest on the small window of frequencies we’ve been vigilantly watching when they could, in fact, be bouncing around on many other frequencies (due to changes in emotion) our gear is not designed to cover. Theoretically we are only getting a fragment of the message that we could be receiving. I know for myself, my clients, and for the sake of seeking to understand, it seems it only behooves of us to help ourselves accomplish what most of us in this field of research set out to do…scientifically confirm the existence of ghosts.

Implementing Background Noise into your EVP sessions

History of using background noise to contact the dead

To begin, ever since Friedrich Jürgenson recorded voices from the deceased over 50 years ago, paranormal researchers have continued trying to make contact to the other side using recording devices of all types & fashions as well as radio coupled with background noise. However, this method leaves room for too many ambiguous results since most of the time it’s not possible to discern whether the voices come from spirits or from the program airing on that particular radio station. This is where EVP’s become easily debunked by fellow investigators and / or skeptics. Utilizing Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC) techniques improve the bar at which investigators can detect paranormal activity with no radio interference while making the results more reliable.

EVP sessions & the recording devices used

As a paranormal researcher you are faced immediately with the challenge of recording voices from spirits. This is no easy feat to achieve since the frequency at which spirits “speak” on is not indigenously audible to the human ear. The intention with EVP is that a spirit can make itself audible to us, in the physical world, by utilizing a fragment or portion of ambient sound available in our environment (i.e.:  noise generated from mechanical parts, TV’s, radios, etc.). This is generically known as “white noise”. In theory, spirits are able to manipulate such white noise in order to shape words, phrases, guttural sounds, and sometimes even full sentences. Since the birth of this theory paranormal researchers have been employing these techniques for decades in an attempt to manufacture white noise in order to allow it to be manipulated by spirits in an effort to obtain contact from them.

Words, phrases, guttural sounds along with full sentences captured in these recordings are believed to be the direct result of manipulating white noise provided by mechanical parts, TV’s, radios, etc. However, some of the EVP acquired may contain a direct response from a question asked or remark made by an investigator. This must be compelling enough to make it worthwhile evidence to either analyze further or consider evidence of a spirit response. Things you must consider or factor in when weighing in whether these are actual voices from the other side:

• Media contamination - Those who use tapes to record their EVP sessions need to make sure to never use the same tape twice. If you do so, you risk the potential of left over remnants / artifacts from previous recordings that did not get fully erased. Therefore creating a false positive. This can not only damage the rapport of your group within the paranormal research community, but lead your clients on to believe there was interaction when there was not.
  
• Radio interference - Devices such as the Frank’s “ghost” Box are electronic devices used by paranormal researchers that are AM and / or FM tuners designed (technically hacked) to continuously scan though AM or FM channels, in turn, producing audio clips as well as white noise. The use of a ghost box can make it difficult to determine whether the anomalies recorded are voices from spirits or just a result of audio clips from the radio coincidentally producing an intelligent response or from an actual spirit trying to communicate back to you. Most importantly; and contrary to popular belief, I discovered a very interesting fact that ALL paranormal researchers should be enlightened to with regard to EVP’s. The use of obscenity, indecency and / or profanity on the radio. For example, most paranormal researchers investigate in the wee hours of the morning (i.e.: P.O.R.T. holds our investigations between the hours of 12am-4am). If you heard cursing or indecent statements between the hours of 12am to 4am (using P.O.R.T.’s investigation time slot as an example), it is possible that “EVP” is not an EVP at all and actually originated from an aired program.  Here is why – It is not in direct violation against FCC (Federal Communications Commission) laws regarding Obscenity, Indecency and Profanity between the hours of 10pm to 6am local time to allow such content. For more clarification refer to: http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/oip/Welcome.html However, don’t dismiss it as well. Try to consider what was heard. If you heard screaming or pleas this might also be worthwhile to document. Having someone nearby with a functioning radio to confirm current programming being aired might be helpful in debunking false EVP’s.
• Analyzers’ influence – It is a common finding that most EVP’s recorded through such devices aren’t discernible at first. More often than not, it’s necessary to listen to them many times in order to grasp what was being said. Even with the aid of audio editing software you still may find yourself undecided on what exactly is being said in the audio. Some will seek assistance from a consultant who holds an occupation in the field of audio forensics. The use of consultants allows for an unbiased professional opinion without the historical knowledge of case specifics, thus leaving them uninfluenced. If a second party or professional consultant can’t concur that they hear the same EVP that the analyzer has extrapolated, then this can indicate that the analyzer might be influencing their belief of what is there to validate the anomalous audio clip as being evidence. This is why all researchers analyzing audio should keep their findings to themselves until the appropriate time to compare & contrast with their fellow peers.

Background Noise usage during your EVP session

Over the years ITC techniques have evolved. To the point even that it’s plausible to use some sort of background noise without radio interference. One way is to find and old TV and remove the antenna system out of it thus rendering it useless for picking up over the air broadcasts (video or audio). Once you have done so you can couple this with your recording device and use the static generated from the omitted signal whilst holding an EVP session. Another method is to create background noise is using a CD or digital audio file (i.e.: MP3) that has prerecorded static / white noise. Again, coupling this with your recording device while holding an EVP session. Another technique, not as frequently used or known about is the use of random phonemes that have been previously recorded onto a CD or in the form of a digital audio file. Examples of phonemes would be: the sound p in ‘pet’ and b in ‘bet’ are examples of vowel phonemes, the sounds j in ‘judge’ and sh in ‘ship’ are consonant phonemes; diphthongs include the oy sound in ‘boy’ and the ay sound in ‘bay’. Playing these during an EVP session could allow for the spirit to utilize the phonemes to form words and communicate a message. To better understand what phonemes are and there use follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoneme

A key strategy when using phonemes is to make sure they don’t mean anything when put together.  The last thing you want is a scripted dialog as this would thwart your cause. Some researchers suggest that you have at least a 150 different phonemes recorded, and that they must be repeated for a minimum of 20 minutes during your EVP session. This is believed to ensure you have enough quality material to offer the spirit(s) to form responses out of. However, I will leave that up to each researcher to figure out what works best for them. Now listening to this recording of phonemes outside of an EVP session will just come across as gibberish. For example, something like this: “fabeepoyshayjuh”. But, once you begin your EVP session and spiritual communication commences these phonemes could be transformed by the corresponding spirit(s) into superimposed responses such as: “I am here”, “Leave me alone”, “Go away”, “Help me” or whatever response they choose. If the phoneme recording you have; that obviously does not contain spirit responses, is employed for all EVP sessions, and yet still every response has a different message. This proves there’s no possibility that these responses were apart of the previous phoneme recording.

When you have concluded your EVP session and move forward with the analysis of these recordings, I would suggest consulting with a few of  your colleagues (that were not present at the investigation) to listen to and / or analyze the recordings. The hope here is that they can validate what you believe you captured & heard. If the majority of them are in agreement about what was caught in the recording, this will lend credence that you have, in fact, obtained authentic and intelligent spiritual communication. Additionally, anytime you can correlate EVP’s with any other technology such as camcorders and / or EMF meters strengthens its credibility. Therefore making your evidence more solid and not as susceptible to dismissal due to its lackluster nature or easy debunking.
