Trigger Objects

Trigger objects, unlike a lot of things in the paranormal fields, are very well, if not universally liked, they have proven for many people and groups that they do some good in helping spirits come out through enviromental appropriation, or do they? I have talked before off the blog about my experiences with EMF Pumps, and why I think they work, and that reason is that it has proven an increase in activity on multiple occasions in the same location. The weather, air, temp. can all effect the spiritual activity in an area, so it become very important to tell the difference between the weather causing the changes in activity, or is it the trigger object? People have gotten photos of mists around the objects, caught video of the objects being moved by an unseen force, which leads me to believe even if the weather plays a role in the increase of activity the trigger objects are still important. They give the spirit, active or not, something to be drawn to, something familiar, causing a decrease in timidness. And now builders of ghost hunting technology are starting to release certain stands to set objects on that, if moved or manipulated, will cause an alarm, making the use of trigger objects more practical and easy because you don't really need a trace over a piece of paper of a specific camera to watch the device, you'll have the alarm to alert you. Trigger objects have been around for a long time, but it seems they are just coming into their full potential.

Paranormal Puck

Original Paranormal Puck

The Paranormal Puck was another device built by Bill Chappell of Digital Dowsing. It was his original ITC device that he sold along side the Ovilus I. Even though it was sold along side the Ovilus I, it is very different from that device. The Paranormal Puck is a small, puck shaped, device. It can only run on computer power, so it is less mobile than the Ovilus. But, it is still a very useful device, one big thing that it has over all the other Ovilus devices is data logging. The Ovilus and the Puck both run on environmental sensors, but with the Puck, you can see the changes in those sensors as they happen on your computer, all while using the ITC communication mode as well. So it adds some extra diagnostic with it, as you can see the changes in environment as it is speaking words, so if you witness changes as it is speaking seemingly accurate words to what you're doing, it means a little more. They also built another type of Puck, called the Puck ECM with just the ITC communication, no data logging. Still this, along with all other Ovilus devices, is experimental in nature and should be treated as such, not as evidence. The Paranormal Puck, like the Ovilus I, was discontinued a few years back and is a very hard find. I have one and personally don't use it all that much, I’ve got three other Ovilus devices that are more practical and easier to use.

Ovilus I

I did a blog about the Ovilus devices earlier, but now I figured I'd go a little bit more into specifics about certain models. The first one I'll be going over is the Ovilus I, named as it was the first device called an Ovilus to be built. It was originally built by Bill Chappell of Digital Dowsing a few years ago, and was sold along side another original invention of his, the Paranormal Puck, which I will go over in a future blog. The Ovilus I has 7 total modes of operation. The first is the Dicitionary Mode, which lets the device speak out of a preset dictionary of 512 words based on enviromental changes in the area. Second is Phonetic mode, which works just like dictionary mode, but uses a generator of certain bits of speech and words instead of full words, so spirits can say anything they please, although it is a little more difficult to hear. Third is combination mode, which combines the dictionary and phonetic mode into one mode, so you can use both at once, this is my favorite mode. Fourth is called EMF mode, where the device speaks the EMF levels in Milligauss around the device, i find this mode fairly unreliable. Fifth is Level mode, which shows a visual representation of EMF using the built in LED's, but these LED's read EMF on just about any of the other levels, so i find this one fairly inpractical as well. Sixth is called Yes/No mode, where the device only speaks those two words based on enviromental changes, its good for EVP sessions. Seventh is Dowsing mode, where the LED's light up in certain patters to recreate a dowsing rod experience, without the swinging rods, i have done a little experimenting with this, and found it shows some promise, but more use is needed before i can say for sure. The Ovilus I has been out of production since 2009 and is a rare find to buy, it is experimental only and should be treated as such, I have found it to be a useful tool, but the small dictionary is a let down. Ther current Ovilus is called the Ovilus X and is available, among other things, at http://www.digitaldowsing.com/
