There have been some interesting effects noticed in experiments
involving the strapping of electro magnets to a helmet worn by a
subject. These included a sense of somebody else being in the room (when
there wasn't) and mild visual disturbances, especially noticable when
the eyes were closed. Some people speculated that the earths magnetic
field could therefore be a probable cause of supernatural 'ghosts'. I'm
not sure about that but it's interesting nonetheless.
