Chart 2: Month and Frequency of Event
The greatest numbers of reports are made in October. Interesting, given this is also the time of the year that many cultures claim a parallel world of spirits is close to ours.
Chart 3: Time of Day
I only had the accurate event times from 620 cases. The study is based on a 24-hour clock with one in the morning represented as 1 and one in the afternoon as 13. All times were rounded off to the nearest hour.
Chart 4: Lunar Phase
Is there a relationship between a paranormal event and the phase of the moon? It seems likely, but it does not take place on full or new moon; instead, two to three days after each. Although the time period from full moon to full moon is 29.53 days, in this graph 1 represents new moon, 15 represents full moon, and 30 represents the time just before new moon. To know the lunar phase, I needed to have the exact day of the month and year. I could only do this for 614 cases. Arrows indicate locations of new and full lunar phase.
Chart 5: Weather Conditions at
the Time of the Paranormal Event
I have to admit, this was a difficult one since I could only use data in which I was able to gather the relevant information. It is based on 230 cases.
T Storm: During a thunderstorm
AT Storm: Within 24 hours before or after a severe thunderstorm
