EMF

Electromagnetic field readings used by some investigators as environmental context during a session.

EMF meters detect changes in electromagnetic fields. Wiring, appliances, phones, and radio sources can all move a reading.

Treat spikes as data to explain, not automatic proof of an entity. Logging where gear was placed helps later review.
