PERCEPTIONS
Terms such as pedophilia matrixing, apophenia, and simulacrum
are terms paranormal investigators hear often. These terms pretty much mean the
same thing. They are imagined perceptions of a pattern or meaning where it does
not actually exist or our very own mind makes us see something that isn't really there. Skeptics love to use words like this to describe any evidence
that we investigators may capture because I think that it is the easiest way
for them to debunk our findings and to prove there point. However, these words can in fact be used as
true explanations for some of our findings. There are times that images we see,
or electronic voice phenomena we hear could be created not so much by a spirit
but by our own subconscious minds or by a reflection, or by another team member.
I am a true believer of this. Some people like to explain how the pixels in
your camera are not set right or because of the amount of light in the room can
cause an anomaly. They talk about how sound waves work and because of how they
work then EVP cannot be captured. I believe we as paranormal investigators should
probably have an understanding knowledge of different types of sound waves and
pixels and things such as EMF fields, radiation fields, and any other thing
that could affect our evidence. Here is the thing though. Once we have gained
the understanding on how such things work and we truly understand how these
things work, does or can this knowledge make us lean more towards our evidence
being not so credible. ~Tracy
