We get a lot of questions regarding whether full moons,
thunderstorms, solar flares, etc. make the surrounding area more
conducive to experiencing a ghostly apparition, and whether we should
seek out these conditions when going to a haunted place to experience
the phenomenon. As one might expect, the answer seems to be a
resounding Yes!
Although people occasionally experience apparitions and entities
during the day, most sightings do occur at night for reasons
explained in The Nature of Ghosts. It is also believed that
apparitions are a form of energy, and that sightings do indeed
increase in both strength and clarity under certain atmospheric
conditions that are unusually high in electrical or electromagnetic
energy.
If you have ever been in a really rocking thunderstorm, you know the
awe and power involved in such an event. The very floor shakes with
the thunder claps, and you can literally feel (and see) the
electrical charge in the atmosphere. No surprise then, that this is
a highly conducive time to experience paranormal phenomena.
Obviously, there are drawbacks to this plan, because most of us don't
want to be standing in the middle of a tree-filled graveyard during a
raging thunderstorm, even if we could time it just right. But if you
ever find yourself in a position to do some indoor ghost hunting
during a good storm, we highly recommend that you try that, because
the chances are good that you will achieve at least some semblance of
success in thunderstorm conditions.
The theory with thunderstorms is that the entity is able to draw from
the electrically charged surroundings to a degree that it couldn't
during calm weather, thus becoming more visible or detectable to
you. It is also fairly safe to assume that you, as the observer, are
also being affected by the charged atmosphere, possibly achieving a
higher vibrational frequency and enabling you to come closer to the
frequency of the apparition - thus a sighting.
Even if you can't time a ghost hunt to coincide with a thunderstorm,
it most definitely wouldn't hurt to drag out the compass, digital
camera, and whatever other ghost hunting equipment you have next time
you are sitting at home during a strong storm. You may be surprised
at the results..... ..
As far as moon phases and the question of what phases are best and
worst for paranormal sightings, the evidence at this time seems to
suggest what is probably obvious to most of us - that the full moon
is by far the most conducive time to experience ghostly phenomena.
There are many theories as to why this is, from the air being more
saturated with positive ions, to the slivery color and rays emitted
from the full and bright moon, to the added gravitational pull on the
earth and on us during a full moon. Scientists scoff at all three
of these theories, saying that the effects, whatever they might be,
are not strong enough to affect us in any measurable way. That
seems a bit too easy, as the full moon has been associated with
paranormal and supernatural occurrences since the beginning of
time. It could be that a combination of the above or something not
even thought of yet is responsible. Yet, there is almost
indisputable proof that the full moon is related to an increase in
paranormal phenomena.
The new moon is probably the 2nd most conducive for experiencing
paranormal phenomena in terms of a monthly timetable. During this
time, the moon rises at the same time as the sun and is in the same
zodiac sign. Because of this, you can't see the moon, making for
some really dark ghost hunting. We have found no theories as to why
physically this is a good time to ghost hunt, but it appears time and
time again in our reference material so we thought it would be worth
a mention here.
Of equal importance, the equinoxes and solstices every year have been
through history very conducive to supernatural occurrences. These
events are extremely important cosmically and and it is no wonder
that they are considered very conducive days in supernatural terms.
The sun is at its lowest point on the Winter Solstice every year. It
rises higher into the sky as the days go on, culminating in the
Spring Equinox, when it rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in
the west, and everyone on earth has a 12 hour day. After this, it
continues on its upward path until the Summer Solstice, when it
reaches its highest point in the sky, After this, the sun begins to
descend again, and on the Autumnal Equinox, the entire world again
sees a 12 hour day with the sun in an exactly east/west
orientation. Then back to the Winter Solstice to start the dance
over again.
A list for these for the next couple of years is below:

Of note, the Harvest Moon is an important event in many religions and
may be worth a try for those interested in experimenting with ghost
hunting and the supernatural. The harvest moon is the nearest full
moon to the Autumnal Equinox - either before or after.
The sun is also believed to play an important role in how conducive
we are to apparitions and ghostly phenomena due to the
electromagnetic and geomagnetic influences of the sun on our planet.
Most of us don't realize how often we actually go through a
geomagnetic storm caused by solar wind, which, like a lightening
storm, is believed to somehow spark paranormal strength. Therefore,
any serious ghost hunter will be well aware of the solar conditions
at all times.
