A&E Network Helps Viewers Track Paranormal Events

The third season of "Paranormal State" on A&E Network was eagerly anticipated by regular viewers who enjoyed following along with a group of students at Penn State University College as they and their director investigate paranormal phenomena. The dramatic series chronicles the real-life case files of the Paranormal Research Society (PRS) unraveling mysteries such as ghost sightings, sixth-sense phenomena, demonic apparitions, and other brushes with the unknown.

This season’s debut is especially intriguing to viewers because it coincides with the launch of a free application for iPhone and iPod Touch users. The application, called the Paranormal State EMF Reader, temporarily converts these mobile devices and makes them EMF readers so users can hone in on electromagnetic field (EMF) fluctuations. By downloading and installing this free application, users can become paranormal investigators with the ability to sweep their own surrounding locations to look for paranormal activity and ghostly entities.

Paranormal investigators routinely use EMF meters to scan for electromagnetic fields. EMFs may be emitted as a sign of paranormal activity from beyond the grave. According to Paul Jelinek, Sr. Vice President of Digital Media at A&E Television Networks, "Paranormal entities have to gather energy when manifesting themselves or attempting to communicate, which causes EMFs to fluctuate, making EMF readers essential tools for all aspiring paranormal investigators." A&E designed the EMF readers for iPhone and iPod Touch devices so they could reach out to the regular viewers of "Paranormal State" and give them an engaging application to supplant and enhance their enjoyment of the show.

The Paranormal State EMF Reader is free and can be downloaded from iTunes or directly to a WiFi-enabled iPod Touch or iPhone. The application includes an article about EMFs and how researchers study them, as well as a postcard containing iTunes links and links to AETV.com, and options for changing the settings on the reader.
