From Séances to Smartphones? - How Technology Changed Ghosts
Ghosts have changed—and the way we experience hauntings has changed with them. This episode explores the evolution of ghost phenomena from Victorian séances to today’s digital‑age hauntings, where EMF meters, EVP recorders, thermal cameras, and livestream investigations shape how we understand the supernatural. We look at how technology influences paranormal encounters, why modern ghosts appear differently on cameras and audio devices, and what these shifts reveal about the nature of spirits.
You will hear how cultural beliefs, scientific tools, and digital media transformed ghost hunting over time. From early spiritualist practices to modern paranormal investigation techniques, we break down the theories behind spirit communication, unexplained voices, and the rise of “digital ghosts.” So if you’re fascinated by ghost stories, paranormal research and possibly the science behind hauntings, then this episode delves into how spirits may be evolving alongside us.
