when watching ghost hunters and so on, they're always holding this little pda like machine in their hands and whenever the machine shows alot of electro magnetic field around, they say its a ghost... someone explain to me how this works?
I also have no idea what catagory this should be in

There is no such thing as a ghost. Ghost-hunters use those devices because they can't think of anything else to measure that would beep. There are low-lying electric fields everywhere - power lines, wires in the walls, light fixtures, etc. Just put one of those devices anywhere and you'll get a signal. There's no such thing as ghosts.

Hmmm...i've got no longer heard something approximately cellular telephone EMF detectors , yet i'll function slightly of perception approximately ghost searching... The think of approximately "ghost hunters" is that if there is something that they hit upon that they could't clarify, then they assume that it replaced right into a ghost. i.e.: My action picture has spots on it, it would be a ghost. My digital camera stopped working, it would be a ghost. My batteries died, it would be a ghost. I felt a draft, it would be a ghost. I even have an EMF examining, it would be a ghost. as a remember of actuality that in basic terms approximately each and everything in our cutting-side international provides off even a small EMF examining, and as a prior poster pronounced, EMF detectors are very comfortable contraptions...in case you have a useful one, they'll %. up even the main faint EMF examining. no person has produced something, even remotely coming near evidence, that famous and ghosts (assuming they exist) supply off an electromagnetic container. Ghosts usually supply severe EMF examining, besides as chilly spots, using fact of multiple reasons...maximum probable using fact of undesirable/previous wiring (subsequently the EMF) and areas interior the partitions producing drafts (subsequently the chilly spots). besides...i wish this factors you interior the splendid course, notwithstanding if it wasn't the respond you have been searching for.

When spirits are present they pull alot of energy and the machine they use detects the energy in the room thats why on ghost hunters they disproove alot of hauntings because the energy usually comes from electrical boxes or anything that puts off alot of energy

Magic tricks.
There is no such thing as ghosts, but you can find all sorts of electric fields to set off a handheld device (or even create them yourself with a hidden device).

Spirits are energy...though we cannot see it eh ?
that is why electro-magnetic gadget can pick up on them. If there
is a really strong presence. That's what I think anyway.

Yeah, they have one like it on Star Trek.
It is actually a PDA running a Pacman game!
Get real, it is a television program.

Wow.....it is not a good idea to be asking this type of question in a science section.
There is no such thing as ghost.

They do not.
No ghost has ever been detected by any means whatsoever, but there are a lot of detectable con artists about.

there are constantly moving magnetic anomolies in magnetic fields. Some people use this to fool gullible people.
