    Claus Iversen

    I was born in 1975, and raised in a small town, called Bolderslev, in the Southern part of Jutland Penninsula, Denmark. Already in early age, I felt a natural understanding of physical processes and what might be behind them. and I have always been very interested in science in general. After school, i graduated from high school in 1995, in the town of Aabenraa (pronunced "Ohbenrooh"). I was particularly fond of the subjects Mathematics, Physics and English. After serving the military, I took an education in IT-science. I graduated in 1998. I have always wanted to understand, and uncover everything. My thirst of knowledge is immense, so besides working with computers, I am involved in studying art, lifestyle, environmental influences, astronomy, mysticism, the occult and the paranormal. That is why I sometimes hold lectures, and write - just to get some of the knowledge sorted. Some of my books are of pure scientific nature (ie. manuals and references), others of more personal character. My books should be seen a technical manuals, quick reference and hopefully enlightenment and entertainment.

      Dictionary of The Paranormal - Claus Iversen

      Artifact

      An artifact is a residual image, shown on digital videos with poor resolution or poor light conditions.

      The artifact occurs, when the camera's software miscalculates a certain area, and superimposes an even color on that particular area.

      The artifact can resemble small boxes, small sculls, smileys and only the imagination is the limit!

      Many ghost hunters interpret such artifacts as messages from the paranormal world. Or think the artifacts are paranormal phenomena themselves.

      It is very easy to determine whether artifacts on a digital image are caused by the camera. 

      Attached Spirit

      For lack of a better term, this is the concept of a spirit or a condition that sticks or follows a person.

      The spirit is seen as a series of accidents, but may also be the feeling of a presence that follows the person. An attached spirit is completely different from a Shadow Figure, that is a physical manifestation of a humanlike entity.

      Spiritual circles interpret this as one has become a kind of host for a creature that lacks precisely what one does or represents. Maybe one has a nice family life, or an exciting life event, that this entity finds interesting.

      These energies can be an annoyance to those, who are experiencing it.

      The recommendations from spiritual circles are to loudly denounce - yes - even scare the creature away. Or that one changes the lifestyle. For example, changes to a less stressful life.

      An attached spirit, is seen as an occupational hazard among "Ghost Hunters". The idea, or the fear is, this entity follows one home. Compare it to a visitor takes a flu home from a sick person.

      Scientifically it is - like everything paranormal - unexplained at this time.

      A theory addresses the concept of quantum entanglement. It is a relatively new theory which describes that energy and mass can be connected to each other, with a kind of invisible thread. In physics, it is still a mystery how such a thread is created. Likewise, it is completely unknown whether and how to break such a thread. In principle, it could allow, a state of energy to follow a person. But it is not a spirit. Rather just a kind of property.

      Bad Luck - that is, the feeling of being in endless misfortune, is very subjective, and can often be clarified by looking more generally at the mishaps: For instance: The car has a flat tire, which means that you naturally come too late to work, then the boss gets angry, then you yell at the partner at home, and the evening is just ruined. One often discovers that one incident is linked to the next - in a so-called causal chain. Additionally comes the brain's amazing ability to remember especially bad or negative experiences.

      By breaking this chain of causality one might be able to control this spirit. Positive thinking and denial of something really determines one's fate is a good start. As soon as the car runs flat, you call the boss and the partner and tell you are late. Then all conflicts and bad experiences are gone, and you can spend a positive and pleasant evening.

      Clairvoyance

      Clairvoyance means clear vision and comes from French.

      It describes generally the ability to perceive events and receive information without the use of the known senses. Information can be perceived at a great distance, and across time. Clairvoyance can be divided into several different subcategories.

      Clairvoyance is best known where a clairvoyant tells about the deceased. Clairvoyants are also often asked for advice, when a house is
