Experienced ghost researchers record local weather conditions prior to an investigation including humidity and barometric pressure, which could affect their results.

Space Weather. Solar Flare activity and Geomagnetic Field activity seems to affect the amount of ghost activity. Research has shown us that during periods of heightened solar flare activity and geomagnetic activity in space, the amount of spirit activity increases.

M class and X class flares are good sources of energy for the spirits to use to manifest. Spirits often tap into normal electrical sources such as electrical appliances and batteries. But on days when the air is full of excess energy spirits may be able to manifest easier and more often, which in turn increases the possibility of paranormal activity. Basically the higher the reading on the status monitor, the better to try some ghost hunting.

The Geomagnetic Field status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA Space Environment Center FTP server. The previous 24 hours of 3 hour Planetary Kp Index* data is analyzed and an appropriate level of activity for the past 24 hours is assigned as follows:	Geomagnetic Field: From n3kl.org
Quiet The Geomagnetic Field is quiet Kp<4 Active The Geomagnetic Field has been unsettled Kp=4 Storm A Geomagnetic Storm has occurred Kp>4
The Solar X-ray status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA Space Environment Center FTP server. The previous 24 hours of 5 minute Long-wavelength X-ray data from each satellite (GOES 8 and GOES 10) is analyzed, and an appropriate level of activity for the past 24 hours is assigned as follows:	Solar X-rays: From n3kl.org
Normal Solar X-ray flux is quiet Active Solar X-ray flux is active M Class Flare An M Class flare has occurred X Class Flare An X Class flare has occurred Mega Flare An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred

K Index. A 3-hourly quasi-logarithmic local index of geomagnetic activity relative to an assumed quiet-day curve for the recording site. Range is from 0 to 9. The K index measures the deviation of the most disturbed horizontal component.

*Kp Index. A 3-hourly planetary geomagnetic index of activity generated in Gottingen, Germany, based on the K INDEX from 12 or 13 stations distributed around the world.

This information is also important because it may adversely affect your more sensitive EMF meters, like the Trifield EM meter, giving you false positive readings.

The moon may also affect paranormal activity. The geomagnetic fields on the earth are strongest during the days on and around the new and full moon cycles. Spirit activity is also increased during this period because of the jump in geomagnetic activity.
