During geomagnetic storms, researchers usually get good results out in the field. Why? Well, it is believed by many that ghosts are a form of energy, and that sightings/encounters increase in both strength and clarity under certain atmospheric conditions that help conduce that energy... so solar weather may play a part in what we encounter and how we encounter it. We often find that a spirit "feeds" off electrical sources such as electrical appliances and batteries to get this energy, but on days when the air is full of excess energy due to a solar storm, they have lots of energy around to 'tap into'. So, always keep a look out for Geomagnetic storms when planning on searching out spirits.

Also, while we're on the subject of heightened activity: throughout history the equinoxes and solstices of every year have been believed to be very contributive to supernatural occurrences.

The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. On December 21-22, winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere and summer begins in the Southern Hemisphere. Cosmically, these times of the year are extremely important, so in terms of paranormal research they may be important as well.

It's believed by many that the whole winter season itself is a very active time of the year for paranormal activity also. The cold, dry air creates an ambience of static electricity. You can feel this when you rub your socks on a carpet then touch a doorknob and get shocked. It's thought that when these static electrical conditions are present, the more ghost encounters take place because of that energy in the atmosphere.

	Solar X-ray flux is quiet.
	Solar X-ray flux is active.
	An M Class flare has occurred. (powerful)
	An X Class flare has occurred. (more powerful)
	An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred.

	The Geomagnetic field is quiet.
	The Geomagnetic field has been unsettled.
	A Geomagnetic storm has occurred.

Basically, if a M, X or Mega Flare has occurred, and/or the Geomagnetic field reads unsettled or storm, it is probably good solar weather for ghost activity.
