Scientists have long theorized the existence of mul-
tiple dimensions of space and time. String theory,
revolutionized the way we look at multiple dimensions
and M Theory reinforced and augmented the five string
theories combining them into a common theory con-
taining 11 different dimensions. We as humans live in
3 (x.y.z) spatial dimensions with an additional one be-
ing time (t), for a total of four, although, some may
argue that time has no direct bearing on the number of
our dimensions and that we should be relegated to the
3 spatial dimensions. Regardless of whether we live in
three or four dimensions, it has no direct bearing to
what I propose so we can leave that debate for another
time (no pun intended).
M theory has made the possibility of parallel uni-
verses feasible in the scientific world. Some of these
parallel universes, it is postulated, can be very close to
our own 3 (or 4) dimensional universe, but such that
we are not aware of them. As far as the composition of
these universes, one can only speculate. They may hold
completely different laws of nature and matter, some,
may hold sentient life, but again, speculation.
Another scientific law relevant to my proposed
theory is the First Law of Thermodynamics, which
states that energy can be transformed, in that, it
can be changed from one form to another, but,
cannot be created nor destroyed. Many years ago it
was discovered that living matter, specifically hu-
mans, in this case, are comprised of electric and
electromagnetic fields. A scientist by the name of
Einthoven was first to document electromagnetic
fields in the heart, a discovery which later led to
the electrocardiogram and a Nobel Prize for his dis-
coveries in 1942. Nearly a quarter of a century
later, another scientist by the name of Berger
would measure electrical impulses in the brain,
leading to today‟s electroencephalography.
Why am I telling you all this?
So that I have clearly established rules of scien-
tific law which have direct correlation to my the-
ory. Without such laws no theory would hold merit
for consideration. Now that we have the historical
and scientific explanations out of the way, let‟s
step outside the box and consider the following.
We have already established the human species
contains energy; that energy cannot be destroyed
but, can be transferred; and that parallel universes
are theoretically possible. Based on these facts, is
 3 D e c e m b e r 2 0 0 9
it possible that we are researching intelligent haunt-
ings or possible visitations in the wrong manner?
Residual hauntings are well documented to be an
energy imprint in time, which, in essence replays
itself over and over. In this case we have energy (e),
and time (t), interacting with our three other dimen-
sions (x,y,z). This in itself is fairly non conclusive to
what I‟ll be getting to, however, it does demonstrate
theoretically, how multiple dimensions may interact
with one another.
Given the pre-established laws and the example
of dimensional interaction, can we speculate that
intelligent hauntings are not necessarily the voice of
the dearly departed, who are trapped here due to
their manner of death or other unfortunate circum-
stance; but perhaps a form of multi dimensional en-
ergy, or being, residing in a parallel universe at-
tempting to communicate. EVP researchers have in-
dicated precursor sounds, click, pops and others,
which have no environmental explanations prior to
the capture of disembodied voices. Is it possible that
these sounds are a “window” of communication
opening and closing?

As we are comprised of energy to a certain degree,
where does this energy go if not destroyed? The First
Law of Thermodynamics clearly states that it cannot.
Can one speculate the possibility that it may travel to
one of these “alternate” universes or dimensions just
out of our view? If so, there would have to be a means
of transfer, potentially working both directions allow-
ing for communication from one side (dimension/
universe) to another or as a form of free travel from
our dimensions to another.
I know for fact that I‟m not alone in my way of
thinking, however, as I‟ve been told; this form of radi-
cal thinking is not always popular inside the scientific
community. Being one that has never really cared
about popularity, I say it‟s time to step it up a notch or
two, take a giant leap outside the box and take it un-
der consideration. If everyone was afraid of poplar
opinion, where would we be in life? Think about it.
I throw this out for consideration and discussion. It
is not a proven fact, simply one person‟s theory. I
would invite anyone that disagrees with this to write in
and let me know your thoughts, however, please keep
it professional, factual, and on topic. This is to stimu-
late a mental process, not cause arguments. Although
debates can be fun too.

As with aggressive human beings, the only thing that
truly works is standing up for oneself. Aggressive enti-
ties--human or otherwise--only understand one lan-

not respect others who do not stand up for themselves.
This is why bullies target what they consider to be easy
victims who will not put up a fight. Can "bully" spirits
be any different? Strength of character, mind, and per-

So, whether ghosts and spirits exist or not, they cer-

for many others, and myself, the jury is still out on this
one. We shall continue to explore and investigate until
we can prove it one way or another.

By Patty Scott
The topics of Time Slips and Residual Hauntings have
been mentioned a lot recently, so we have decided to
research these areas and follow up this article with
group discussion on the site. The usual explanation given
by paranormal investigators for this phenomenon is as
follows: A residual haunting is an event repeating itself
in time in an endless loop, much like playing back a tape
on a recorder. It could be that this event was so violent
that it was imprinted in its surroundings, and much like
a magnetic tape carrying scenes from a film, or a tape
recorder recording voices, it will playback the event re-
peatedly. The scene that the human being sees in a re-
sidual haunting usually involves people who no longer
exist, but are these people ghosts or spirits?
According to paranormal investigators they are not
ghosts or spirits. They are just figments of the past,
stored in the place or atmosphere. If this is the case,
then why is it that this tape does not play endlessly
without interruption? Why is it that only a few people
witness residual hauntings while many do not? Compare
residual hauntings to cassette or film recordings, which
are available to all of us without exception by simply
pressing a button on a remote control, whereas residual
hauntings cannot be accessed in this way. They need to
be „triggered‟ by something in order to be viewed by a
person and are not available to everybody all the time.
This variable is what makes people wonder about the
whole residual haunting or stone-tape theory in the
paranormal world and outside the paranormal world as
well. Some researchers have gone on to say that it de-
pends on the rock or stone in a haunted location. Lime-
stone and different kinds of rocks or quartz stones may
act as a catalyst, thus allowing the residual haunting to
P a g e 5

H a u n t i n g s ?
take place. Others say that the electromagnetic field is
the trigger and high spikes can cause the tape to play
back. Still others offer the explanation of underground
water as the principal catalyst. Whatever the cause, the
truth of the matter is that nobody knows why or how
residual hauntings occur.
Are residual hauntings always violent? The general
rule apparently tells us they are. Examples of residual
hauntings are bloody scenes in battlefields, and re-
enacted murders, moments of anguish and despair; any-
thing that would give off enough energy to „record‟ in a
location through time. However we also have come
across non-violent scenes, such as apparent ghosts walk-
ing through buildings with purpose, or going through
daily routines. In these cases, we see an apparition and
not a scene before us. Even though they are not horrify-
ing nor terrible, running across people whom you think
are alive that are performing duties like cleaning the
floor, and who don‟t stop or acknowledge your existence
is a bit nerve-racking. Particularly if the person cleaning
the floor suddenly vanishes after you‟ve asked them a
question! So, we have to conclude that residual haunt-
ings can be violent or non-violent in nature, and con-
trary to what some people affirm, do NOT have to be
murder or battlefield scenes.
Time slips on the other hand are something entirely dif-
ferent. Where as in a residual haunting the people do
not acknowledge you and go about their business, in a
time slip, you may find yourself in a scene from the past
and are able to interact with the people in the scene! As
an example, allow me to include the story of Frank and
his step back in time in Bold Street in Liverpool, Eng-
land. This is taken from “ON THE EDGE OF TIME: The
Mystery of Time Slips” by Tim Swartz and illustrates per-
fectly what a time slip is. Check out the link at the end
of this article, and after reading the source you will see
that Bold Street seems to be a place where this break in
time has occurred more than once.
“On a sunny Saturday noon in July 1996, Frank and
his wife Carol were visiting Liverpool‟s Bold Street area
for some shopping. At Central Station, the pair split up;
Carol went to Dillon‟s Bookshop and Frank went to HMV
to look for a CD he wanted. As he walked up the incline
near the Lyceum Post Office/Café building that led onto
Bold Street, Frank suddenly noticed he had entered a
strange “oasis of quietness.”
Suddenly, a small box van that looked like something
out of the 1950s sped across his path, honking its horn as
it narrowly missed him. Frank noticed the name on the
van‟s side: “Caplan‟s.” When he looked down, the con-
fused policeman saw that he was unexpectedly standing
in the road. The off-duty policeman crossed the road
and saw that Dillon‟s Book Store now had “Cripps” over
its entrances. More confused, he looked in to see not
books, but women‟s handbags and shoes.
Looking around, Frank realized people were dressed
in clothes that appeared to be from the 1940s. Sud-
denly, he spotted a young girl in her early 20s dressed in
a lime-colored sleeveless top. The handbag she was car-
rying had a popular brand name on it, which reassured
the policeman that maybe he was still partly in 1996. It
was a paradox, but he was relieved, and he followed the
girl into Cripps.
As the pair went inside, Frank watched in amaze-
ment as the interior of the building completely changed
in a flash to that of Dillon‟s Bookshop of 1996. The girl
turned to leave and Frank lightly grasped the girl‟s arm
to attract her attention and said, “Did you see that?”
She replied, “Yeah! I thought it was a clothes shop. I
was going to look around, but it‟s a bookshop.”
It was later determined that Cripps and Caplan‟s were
businesses based in Liverpool during the 1950s. Whether
these businesses were based in the locations specified in
the story has not been confirmed.”
This is not the only case of a time slip. There are sto-
ries like this all over the world. How can this be possi-
ble? Or a much better question comes to mind: Can this
be possible at all? According to recent discoveries in
Quantum Physics this could very well be possible. Time
is not linear and therefore the possibilities of parallel
worlds and breaks in time can become very feasible. We
won‟t get into String Theories, M-theories, or black
holes here, as they are complicated and lengthy topics.
But we will include links at the end for you to check out
for yourselves.
Time slips are interactive; residual hauntings are
not. This is the main difference between both. However,
we must take note of something that points to the evi-
dence: What if ghosts don‟t exist at all but are merely
residual hauntings or breaks in time? What if the electro-
magnetic forces on earth trigger these hauntings and
what we are seeing is not the energy of a spirit, but a
recording or a trip back in time? Think about it for a mo-
ment. The cases where ghosts are seen performing daily
routines without them even noticing their surroundings:
Residual. The cases where we see battles re-enacted
repeatedly: Residual. The cases where we appear to
step back in time and interact with the past: Time slips!
Are we the ghosts in these cases, appearing out of no-
where and disrupting the lives of others?
Let‟s take a moment to ponder and consider these
questions and think about what is happening in the para-
normal world. How many cases are there where the
ghosts actually interact with the living? There are few,
but they do happen. These are the cases where we may
be looking at a true haunting. And the rest? Only time,
extensive studies, research and an open mind will en-
able us to discover the truth. And you all know how the
saying goes: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free.”
