Live chat with the team

There will be a live online chat with the team after the show this evening.
 
The chat will take place in the Mazehouse forums in a new thread in the 'TV shows' forum and start after this evening's show. Webmaster Gary Mitchell will be moderating the chat, choosing which questions to pitch to the team.
 
The thread will be opened before the show tonight for you to start entering questions for the team.
 
So please join us in the forums later this evening and meet the team!

Letters carved on the wall

These are the letters discovered by Jon and Jo carved into the wall of one of the front rooms:

 

O FLORA NOSTRI VINCITE

Electronic Voice Phenomena

EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena is a term used to describe the reported discovery of voices or other attempts at communication unintentionally captured in otherwise normal audio recordings or recordings intentionally sought in radio static or ambient recorded background noise.

Usually audio recordings need to be filtered and manipulated to separate put the suggested EVP or extra-sensitive or specially prepared recording equipment needs to be used.

EMF monitors

The electromagnetic field detectors are capable of detecting electric fields between 0 and 1000 V/m (volts/meter) and magnetic fields up to 1000 milliGauss. In practise the detectors will be looking for fields in the bottom one percent of this range - between 0 and 10 on both scales.

The monitors have been designed to eliminate as much background 'noise' as possible - particularly strong anthropogenic fields that might produce false positive readings -the domestic current is still connected and the house is full of electrical equipment.

Aims

The main emphasis of the Maze House investigation has been and will continue to be split between collecting scientific data on and amassing individual, subjective reactions to the house.

The primary source of data about the house will be the network of EMF monitors. These will provide data to a central computer that will then store it for analysis. The intention is also, eventually, to make the output of the monitors visible, live, on this website.

The aims of the Mazehouse project

First and foremost the investigation is aimed at getting to the truth of the reports of paranormal activity in The Maze House.

Given the absence of the owners of the house the investigators have an unparalleled opportunity to stay in the house for an extended period of time and so pursue the investigation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The aim of the investigation is to test whether the claims for paranormal occurrences have any grounds and to see if any of the sensations that have been experienced in the house can be reproduced.

The investigation: EMF detectors

The aim is to investigate the accounts of paranormal activity in The Maze House. Given the absence of the homeowners the investigators have an unparalleled opportunity to conduct a long and thorough examination of the house.
In addition to a simple investigation of the house by the team, the project will have a more technical aspect. As part of an attempt to examine in depth the physical attributes of a paranormal manifestation the team have positioned throughout the house a number of electromagnetic field monitors.
