Laser Grid or Laser flood?

Fri 10 Jun 2011 07:48:48 | 1 comments

It seems the latest claims of paranormal are captured using laser grids. These are nothing more then laser pointers with beam splitters attached when rotated cause a grid like appearance.

Now lets look a little deeper at these wonderful pieces of equipment. First they are dangerous if pointed towards your eyes and can cause permanent damage to them.


Now lets look at the equipment. They are powered by two aaa battery's they have a button on top that must have a sleeve slid over to hold it down. Now what misperception can they cause? They create a great deal of heat at the diode. So right away I recommend adding a cooling system such as a fan or a heat sync. Now why? As they heat up some overheat in as little as 5 minutes, the grid can fade, or partially disappear. hey can also shut off from overheating. Does it do it predictably? No. This can occur from 5 minutes to 25 minutes to not at all. Now if you have a portion of the grid disappear is it a ghost?


Lets look at one more often over looked part of the grid. Its used in the dark, its a form of light. The camera monitoring it is watching the grid not the laser. What is attracted to light? Insects, as an insect flys or lands on the laser they can partially block a portion of the grid. Is this often misinterpreted as a ghost? So once again go outside at night and test your grid but this time have one more camera watching your laser to see if insects are what you are catching.


Remember as we come up with new equipment to use during investigations we also need to take time to see what can give you a false reading.

Why use a grid? What does a grid do? It creates bright spots and dark spots, something the paranormal field doesn't need more distortion for our minds to get confused over.

I see so much mis-use of this tool. I see some people set the pencil on a table then be amazed when it rolls or moves.

I see people aiming it at a mirror, might as well really send out confusing patterns.

Again why a grid? If a laser is able to create shadow people like so many report why not use a laser floodlight? it eliminates all the pareidolia and misinterpretations. A laser designator costs a bit more but isn't the truth worth it? Or don't people want the truth?

Getting ready to share this blog to my facebook, both on my personal page and for the team's page. Very good information! Thanks for posting this. We haven't used a laser grid in investigations, but if it ever gets brought up, this is the first place I'm referring to!
