Electromagnetic Field
If you’ve watched some Paranormal reality shows, you might have seen someone running around with an Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detector claiming to get EMF spikes in midair and suggesting that it could possibly be an entity, ghost or the sorts, trying to manifest. There are currently no facts to support this, but on the flip side who’s to say that it’s an impossible notion. Some studies have been done involving EM phenomena and subjects that have had a Near Death Experience (NDE).
Additionally, there are studies and links between EMF and the human body that can be utilized for the purpose of plausible explanation. In some extreme cases studies have suggested that prolonged high exposure to EMF could be linked to leukemia.
An organization called the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) maintains international guidelines for EMF exposure. These guidelines are based on the findings of many years of scientific research.
According to some scientists, EMFs can affect your body’s nervous system function and cause damage to cells. Cancer and unusual growths may be one symptom of very high EMF exposure. Other symptoms may include:
sleep disturbances - including insomnia, headache, depression and depressive symptoms, tiredness and fatigue, Dysesthesia, lack of concentration, changes in memory, dizziness, irritability, restlessness and anxiety, nausea, skin burning and tingling, changes in an electroencephalogram - (which measures electrical activity in the brain).
Is it probable, that having symptoms as stated above, be a contributing factor in ones perceived unexplained phenomena? Is it plausible that the mind in a tired, anxious, and depressive state can play tricks on itself? Food for thought..!

Electromagnetic Phenomena Reported by Near- Death Experiencers ~
“In research with unselected participants, EM radiation emitted from the human body has been detected in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range (Lipkova & Cechak, 2005), and weak emission of photons, particles of EM radiation, from the skin has been detected in darkrooms, not associated with changes in skin temperature (Kobayashi, Kikuchi, & Okamura, 2009). People who claimed healing abilities, but not comparison groups who did not, were able reliably to imprint some form of radiation into distilled water that modified the physical characteristics of the water as measured by electrophotography (Berden, Jerman, & Skarja, 1997). So there is considerable evidence that at least some people’s bodies respond, with or without conscious awareness, to external EM fields, and some data suggesting that at least some human bodies emit EM radiation. What remains unexplored is the relationship of these phenomena to NDEs”. ~
