Geiger Counter Setup

Geiger Counter Setup

Back in 2006, when I was obsessed with the paranormal, some friends in the community told me that they were able to influence a Geiger counter using their mind.

I immediately went out and bought one.

One experience really stood out, where a friend was trying to influence it over the Internet. I impulsively tranced out at the same time, and the graph spiked. Here is a screenshot from 2006, when that happened:

Years later, I moved on, and stopped participating in the paranormal community. But I always thought about the Geiger counter experience.

Now that me and my wife are practicing having out of body experiences together, I thought it would be cool to see if I could influence a Geiger counter while out of body. I don’t remember ever trying that.

So I bought a PRM-9000 Geiger counter and a cheap laptop!

I just got it setup in my bedroom today:

The sensor is behind the mesh circle. Geiger counters detect alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays. I bought what’s known as a pancake sensor, which is extra sensitive. Any time a particle enters the window, a click is registered on the computer.

There is still some more testing I need to do before I’m ready, like recording a baseline measurement, but I’m really excited to resume this experiment from so long ago!

I will keep you posted!
