Page 1 Volume 8 Issue 6 HOT or NOT: Checking the Temperature of the Paranormal Community HOT Mel Meter It’s an EMF! No, it’s a temperature gauge! Actually, it’s both…and a whole lot more. And since it does the work of several handhelds, it’s like getting a whole extra hand free. EM Pump So if ghosts can affect the electromagnetic field, what would happen if you introduce even more electromagnetic charge into an area? Will ghosts use it to materialize or simply drain the energy? That’s what this device aims to prove, one way or another. LUKEWARM Ovilus No one seems to care that there’s no real explanation as to how this device supposedly allows ghosts to speak through it or that the manufacturer willingly admits that the Ovilus is designed for “entertainment purposes only.” All that matters is that the darn thing speaks! K-II Meter Is it your dead grandmother who’s making all those lights on the K-II flash? Or is it merely a call from your living grandmother on your cell phone that’s responsible? The fact that this meter is susceptible to all sorts of interference is causing more and more investigators to think twice about using it. NOT Dowsing Rods In today’s “flashing lights and beeping noises” world of the paranormal researcher, dowsing rods look, well, kind of lame. Add to that the fact that the slightest breeze or involuntary twitch will send these things spinning and you’ll see while most dowsing rods are being re-bent and returned to their original shape as a clothes hangar.

  • The Holzer Files,’ Returns with More Harrowing Tales from the Archives of America’S First Ghost Hunter
    For Immediate Release: HIT TRAVEL CHANNEL SERIES, ‘THE HOLZER FILES,’ RETURNS WITH MORE HARROWING TALES FROM THE ARCHIVES OF AMERICA’S FIRST GHOST HUNTER Season Two Premieres on Thursday, October 29 at 11 p.m. ET/PT with a Special Halloween Week Launch Left to Right: Psychic medium Cindy Kaza, paranormal investigator Dave Schrader and equipment technician Shane Pittman NEW YORK (October 6, 2020) – After a groundbreaking freshman run, “The Holzer Files” returns with all-new investigations into Hans Holzer’s paranormal mysteries, launching with a special Halloween week premiere on Thursday, October 29 at 11 p.m. ET/PT. A dedicated paranormal team – led by paranormal investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman – revisits Hans Holzer’s most captivating cases. With the help of Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, and researcher Gabe Roth, the team picks up where Holzer left off to re-examine the terrifying hauntings that he dedicated his life to researching. “The Holzer Files” is a cryptic mystery, bound by threads of truth, the voices of the past and the exploration of modern paranormal pioneers. Viewers will experience a chilling chase, fueled by Holzer’s rediscovered archival files and haunting cinematography. The second season, comprised of 13 brand new one-hour episodes, follows the team on the haunted trail of legendary cases – from an elegant mansion in New York City, home to one of the world’s most infamous hauntings to the historic Maryland tavern that hid John Wilkes Booth after he shot Abraham Lincoln. Recognized as the “father of the paranormal,” Hans Holzer’s legendary four-decade exploration into disturbing hauntings like the Amityville Horror house, helped spawn legions of supernatural enthusiasts, more than 120 books and even inspired Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis to write “Ghostbusters.” In each episode, the team culls through thousands of Holzer’s recently discovered documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s.

Carlin Follow this and additional works at: https://thekeep.eiu.edu/honors_theses Part of the Television Commons A Haunted Genre: A Study of Ghost Hunting Reality Television (TITLE) BY Abigail L. Carlin UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, ALONG WITH THE HONORS COLLEGE, EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS 2018 YEAR I HEREBY RECOMMEND THIS UNDERGRADUATE THESIS BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING THE THESIS REQUIREMENT FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DATE 'fHESISADVISOR DATE H6NORS COORDINATOR Carlin 2 Introduction to Thesis In a recent interview on CONAN, the Chicago comedian Kyle Kinane shared his opinion regarding the relationship between white privilege and the existence of ghosts. Kinane joked that he thinks "the only people who believe in poltergeists are people who don't have any real-world problems," and following that statement, he states that believing in ghosts and engaging in paranormal culture is stereotypically "white" (0:39-1:20). The parallel drawn between daily life andthe topic of race is referredto as privilege, and Kinane insinuates that white privilege leaves an individual with a significant amount of free time and resources to engage in seemingly illogical beliefs, such as ghosts; however, ghost hunting reality television lends itself to more thanboredom, as it is a new and exciting genre specific to the 21st century. In this thesis, ghost hunting reality television is explored and recognized as a cultural artifact. Born from the combination of secular methodology, religion, and technology, an unlikely and obscure genre explodes from obscurity to popular culture to such a degree that tier one celebrities, such as Post Malone, guest star on longstanding ghost hunting reality show Ghost Adventures (2008-present).
