Where's "PPI Presents..." presentiing next?

THAT'S A WRAP!

Our lecture series on paranormal investigating has ended for the 2019 Halloween season. Thank you to all who attended this year. It was fun to meet all of you and enjoyable to hear your questions and reactions. We'll be back again in 2020. Till then, keep turning a skeptical eye.

Faraday Cage: "Faraday" refers to physicist Michael Faraday, who in 1836 invented the Faraday cage. Also known as a "Faraday shield," Faraday cages do not have to take the form of an actual cage, but rather can be any sort of enclosure surrounded or lined by a mesh of conducting material that blocks electrical fields and radio frequencies. Its use in paranormal investigating is largely experimental and theoretical: working from the major premise that electromagnetism is a common principle of our physical universe and the unknown physical universe of the spirit realm, it provides an opportunity to rule out localized EMF pollution as the source of paranormal activity: if activity occurs within the Faraday enclosure, and it cannot be rationally explained by any other devices within, then its origins are potentially paranormal.
