What are Orbs?

Orbs are usually circular balls of energy which appear in our photographs. These tend to be the most commonly photographed form of spirit energy. Although not seen by the human eye, these orbs reflect the flash of our camera enabling us to capture them on film.


What is Ectoplasm?

Ectoplasm is a mist-like manifestation of spirit energy. This appears as a haze, mist or turbulent fog in our photographs, when there is no apparent physical source.


What is an Apparition?

Apparition is the manifestation of a spirit into the human form.  Apparitions, or ghosts, may be whole body transformations or just a portion. These are the most uncommon form and considered the most rare.

What is EMF?

EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) is measured by MilliGauss and TSPR researchers looks for a low range of 2.0 to 7.0, which indicates spirit presence, when the source cannot be traced to an electrical source.  Higher ranges above 8.0 tend to be most common in the household due to electrical appliances. It is believed that spirits possess a low level of electrical energy.


What is EVP?

EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) are the voice recordings that we hope to obtain attributed to spirits around us. We use digital and analog recorders in which to do this. These voices are not heard at the time of recording but rather at the time the recording is played back. It is not certain whether spirits imprint their voices onto the tape or the recorder is recording what the ear cannot hear.


What is significant about Temperature study?

It has become our belief that spirits can use the heat in the air to help themselves manifest.  By doing so, a cold spot or area is created. TSPR researchers use digital point and shoot infrared thermometers to locate these drops in temperatures. These cold spots may indicate to us where the spirit may be manifesting.  These temperature drops can be quite drastic, sometimes being 20 degrees less than the ambient temperature of the surroundings.


What are Psychic/Sensitives?

Psychics or Sensitives are those people who possess a special gift. They can feel or sense spirit presence. We have a few researchers with this gift and greatly appreciate their ability to direct us to substantiate the spirit presence with physical documentation.
