Do you believe in ghosts in a tv-monitor.
ITC, you link a camera on the tv monitor and point it right at it.
THe result is a pic in a pic in a pic... Dark colors flowing together making
figures of peoples -on closer look-

--sorry for the itc desription, in case there's somebody who doesn't knwo what it is--

do you think it's for real? I do.

The specks seen on a TV are caused by Beta Particles hitting the screen,

and if ghosts are composed of emotion and rement memory imposed on particles then it is possible for a television screen to pick them up.

If you have time download this film cause it has an ITC section:

Urban Legends series: Ghosts

Plynn lil oloth posted a few days earlier about ITC - wiring a camcorder to a TV and pointing it at the monitor to see ghost manifestations. This is a new one to me, and something I'd be too scared to try - along with Oui Ja boards and Seances it could be dangerous.

Anyway, i'm posting about polterguist activity and the TV. Whenever I watch TV I'm more likely than not to hear a banging on or in the TV set. Could this be static electricity or something?

It's just sometimes it sounds like someone is banging their knuckle on the glass of the TV screen. Once a TV turned off by itself when I was having a conversation with someone and she said it was "fate"and my instincts told me "polterguist". It was sinister.

The knocking in the TV is like the knocking I hear on ceilings, on cupboards, windows etc.

This has been bugging me for a while... any suggestions?

TVs and poltergeists seem to hand in hand. In fact, the movie Poltergeist it self first had malevolent spirits emerging from the screen. Then there was Shocker (ugh), about a man executed whose ghost could travel throughout television shows. White Noise had dealt with this subject as well. And how could you leave out the most famous "TV ghost", Sadako and Samara, whose cursed tape when played on the television would kill it's victims in seven days, the result being Sadako/Samara crawling forth from the screen.

My advice: get a new television set!

Thank you for your reply Unseelie Sluagh.

I've heard about white noise, that's EVP isn't it? Of course, you can pick up EVP with a normal tape recorder.

I must say before I actually witnessed polterguist on the TV set, the film polterguist with the possessed TVs didn't seem convincing to me. It wasn't that I didn't believe in spirits, it was just I was always a bit sceptical about how they involved themselves with the physical world. But over the years I've come to realise that electronic equipment seems a very effective way to communicate with the spirit dimensions, or for them to communicate with us (whether we want them to or not)!

Was Shocker a real documented case, or is that a film that I haven't seen?

I would get a new TV set, but many are haunted in such a way when I am around.

Thanks again.

Sorry, realise now that Shocker was a film. My mistake. Interesting idea though.

White Noise is often taken to be a CONDUIT for EVP, but technically isn't EVP, it's just a descriptive term for a certain type of...er...noise.

But it is VERY interesting.

White Noise does some odd things to brain waves. Music Therapists such as Dr John Ortiz recommend it to help people with insomnia. It has an effect of soothing the patient and blocking out unwanted thoughts that keep them from sleeping.

Also, Auditory hallucinations are common in white noise, but who are we to say that they are hallucinations and not spirit entities?

I go for the hallucination angle though, because sound has a very powerful effect on the human mind, we know this.

I have hallucinated entire musical arrangements using white noise, but it's a very hit and miss affair. For me it has to be a certain frequency.

A whirring fan produces white noise, as does a radio switched between stations. Fans set me off like nobody's business. I'm ALWAYS hearing music with those.
