I'm curious as to where the "EMF" = "Ghost" equation came from .. Yes, EMFs can possibly make our brains burp .. but when did running around a location, waving an EMF ever equal searching for EMFs to find a possible ghost .. I don't really understand the logic.
As far as I first understand it, the idea of ghosties emiting EM fields was first theorised in the late 18th century, though at this point the fields were called
magnétisme animal,
mineral magnetism,
cosmic magnetism or
planetary magnetism. This was the proposition by the German physician Franz Anton Mesmer that all living things held a 'magnetic force' within them, and this theory was built upon to suggest that ghosts were the
magnétisme animal of deceased people. Thus, if the magnétisme animal/natural EM field of a person continues after death, then the theory is that it can be detected on meters capable of detecting EM fields.
