播音员：本节目探讨了鬼魂狩猎的科学性和超自然性。从尼古拉·特斯拉的灵媒无线电到现代的捉鬼工具，节目介绍了各种试图探测和与鬼魂互动的方法。节目中讨论了多种技术，例如EMF仪表、K2仪表、风速计、全光谱相机、黑光灯、SLS相机、音频设备（用于记录EVP和ITC）以及Ovilus设备。节目同时指出了这些工具和方法的局限性，以及它们在科学方法上的不足之处。虽然这些工具可以收集到一些数据，但这些数据并不能作为鬼魂存在的决定性证据。节目还探讨了人们对鬼魂的信仰和寻找与对过去人物的联系以及对死亡的恐惧有关。尽管现代鬼魂狩猎模糊了科学，但人们不会停止相信鬼魂或停止寻找它们。

Nikola Tesla created a device called the Spirit Radio to detect a presence he felt in his laboratory. This device, along with similar efforts by other scientists, suggests a historical interest in validating the existence of ghosts.

Shownotes Transcript

In 1901, Nikola Tesla had the most terrifying experience of his life. As he worked alone in his laboratory at night, he felt a presence.

He created a device to see if he could hear, or pick up any signals from whatever it was that he felt. He called it the “spirit radio”, and it worked.

Tesla wasn’t alone.

Throughout history, famous scientists, who helped shape the technology we used today, have spoken of ghosts and hauntings that shook them to their core.

And while you might think these are nothing more than ghost stories, you’re right.

But there is scientific data that supports the existence of ghosts. Data that has been suppressed… until now.
