On the issue of negative ions, I've had some questions come to mind about its true relevance to the paranormal community. By nature, a negative ion is a atom that carries an extra electron in it shell, and vice versa for a positive ion. Negative ion detection has been used in the investigative field due to a theory that there is an increase of those ions in the presence of a ghost. Let's ponder this. Air ionizers, which create an influx of negative ions, clean the air by utilizing the fact that opposite charges attract. Most allergens and particles in the air either have a neutral or positive ionic charge. The negative ions generated by the ionizer attach themselves to the positively charged particles, and make them heavy enough for gravity to have an effect on them. That is how they are eliminated from the air; they just fall to the ground. In that sense, if there was an influx of negative ions due to a spirit, would those ions not be bound by the same law and therefore be attracted to the pollen and dirt in the air? If so, wouldn't the best way to "cleanse" a haunted house be to pump in a bunch of positively charged dust? Imagine if your child didn't want to clean their room because "the dust keeps the boogieman away". Don't get me wrong, I am in no way trying to suggest that spirits are not comprised of some sort of energy. I just am not sure about the current method being utilized in an attempt to detect spectral phenomenon.
