Ghost or Wi-fi?

 This morning I had the latest of more than 500 dreams I have had suggesting life after death.  The dream was of some person suggesting that electronic devices should be used to get evidence of ghosts. 

I remembered I had an old milligauss reader that can read very low levels of magnetism. The device is sometimes sold as a "ghost detector." I turned on the device, and got a reading of 4 milligauss, which persisted whenever I used the device on the first floor, although the reading would sometimes very briefly drop back to 0. 

But could this be caused by my wi-fi? A Google search on the topic ("Does Wifi produce milligauss?) tells us that a wi-fi router will produce only .5 milligauss at a distance of one meter from the router. 

I tried taking the reading in my backyard, and the reading drops to 0 milligauss. Walking up to the second and third floors of the house I live in, I also got a reading of 0 milligauss, even though I often make use of wi-fi on the second floor, as does someone on the third floor. On a second try I verified that on both the 2nd and 3rd floors today you can use wi-fi, even though the reading on both floors was 0 milligauss. 

I am left with the puzzling anomaly of why the first floor is producing a reading of 4 milligauss different from the 0 milligauss on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Wi-fi does not seem to be the answer. Turning on or turning off the wi-fi router on the 1st floor seemed to have no effect on the milligauss readings. 

Last night I saw another example of what I have seen before at night. The very thick window curtains blocking the back window of my bedroom had mysteriously slightly parted a bit in their middle, causing a beam of light to fall to the left of my bed, one I do not normally see. No human had  parted the curtains in their middle, and the window behind the curtain was closed, with no fan running.  

Postscript: In the week after writing this post, I took daily readings with the device shown above. The readings on the first floor showed a dropping from 4 milligauss to about 3 milligauss, with 3 milligauss being the reading on October 11, even when the wi-fi router was off on the first floor. In the next week the reading gradually declined to about 2 milligauss, and the reading on October 18 was 2 milligauss,  even when the wi-fi router was off on the first floor.

The reading of the device has stayed in the "red zone/" slightly above 2 milligauss, throughout October and November 2025. 

Ghosts in the News, Part 3

 Here is the latest in a series of videos I am making:

Postscript (November 28): while working on another video in this series,  I again witnessed the spooky event of my PS4 PlayStation machine turning on inexplicably while I was in the middle of watching a TV show. Whenever that happens the machine takes over my TV screen. At the time I was sitting alone in the room; my TV remote was an arm's length away from me; and the PlayStation machine and its controller were two meters away from me. The PlayStation turning on by itself while I was in the middle of watching a TV show  (an anomaly which I have seen at least five times such as here and here) is as inexplicable as a room light turning on by itself.  Turning on the PlayStation machine requires either touching a button on the machine, or clicking a particular sequence of two clicks using the TV remote.

Here is the first in a series of videos I will be posting. 

Ghostly Synchronicity

In the bathroom next to where I sleep is a modern-type GFCI outlet that normally shows a small green light, except when the circuit is broken.  As reported in the post here, more than 20 times during the past year I have seen the green light in this outlet mysteriously go off for a second or two before turning back on, even though no physical action of mine happened that might cause this.  Last night this occurred again, with some interesting synchronicity.  At the very instant that I was thinking to myself the word "ghosting," within two seconds the light went off and went back on.  At the time I was thinking in my mind a short sentence referring to "ghosting" in the sense of ignoring someone's communication.
