Sometimes when my husband and I are sitting in the living room, I’ll suddenly feel as if I’m being enveloped in cold. The first thing I do, is ask him if any doors or windows are open in the house which could be causing a draft. If none are open, I’ll ask him come over to me and feel the air around me. He’ll feel my face and/or arms to see if I’m chilled or hot. Then he holds his hands about six inches to a foot above my body. If the air feels cold, he’ll grab one of our temperature guns and take a reading. If he starts feeling goosebumps, he may grab a digital voice recorder and see if he can get an EVP. Sometimes he’ll scan the room with an EMF meter or a full spectrum camera. Sometimes he catches something, sometimes not.
