Can we Forecast Paranormal Activity?

At the moment there is an increase in paranormal activity. Over the past few weeks, many locations have felt noticeably more active. Sounds are sharper, sensations stronger, equipment more responsive, and experiences more frequent and pronounced. I believe that this isn’t a coincidence, it’s a convergence.

Let's make an assumption that heightened geomagnetic activity has an effect on activity... We are currently sitting in a period of elevated geomagnetic variability, driven by residual solar activity and recurring high-speed solar wind streams. While Solar Cycle 25 has passed its peak, it remains highly capable of producing disturbances. These geomagnetic fluctuations don’t need to reach “storm” levels to have an effect; even moderate shifts can subtly influence human perception, electrical environments, and sensitive equipment.

At the same time, the UK is experiencing unstable barometric patterns and frequent pressure drops, Atlantic weather systems, and increased rainfall. Rapid changes in air pressure are well known to affect old buildings: timber expands, stone holds moisture, and air moves unpredictably through voids, cellars, stairwells, and chimneys. These conditions amplify sound, light anomalies, and movement, creating environments that can feel charged and reactive.

Add to this the human element. When conditions align, awareness sharpens. Investigators notice more. Staff and residents become more sensitive to changes. Activity clusters, not because something is “waking up,” but because the environment is better shaped to allow the activity to gain the right energy to express itself.

Human emotion also plays a role in how activity is experienced.

Feelings such as anticipation, expectation, fear, anxiety, excitement, or fatigue alter how the brain and nervous system process information. In these states, perception sharpens, attention narrows, and the mind becomes more alert to subtle changes in sound, movement, light, or atmosphere that would normally be filtered out. Fear and expectation in particular can heighten interpretation, making ambiguous stimuli feel more significant or purposeful. This does not mean people are creating activity, but that the threshold for noticing and responding is lower. When heightened emotional states coincide with unstable weather and geomagnetic conditions, environments can feel noticeably more active, even though the underlying triggers are often small, natural, and temporary.

If we assume that spirits or ghosts manifest as light-based or electromagnetic (EMF) energy, then air movement and ambient temperature become important influencing factors. Changes in temperature and humidity affect how energy travels, disperses, and becomes visible or detectable. Warm air rising and cooler air sinking create convection currents that can alter how light behaves, how energy concentrates, and how electromagnetic fields fluctuate within a space. In older buildings containing metal structures, wiring, and stone, these shifts may help energy momentarily intensify, move, or register on equipment. From this perspective, changes in air and temperature do not create spirits, but they may provide conditions that allow energy to express itself more clearly, briefly increasing visual phenomena, sensor responses, or human perception of presence.

Can we Forecast Paranormal Activity?

This table combines geomagnetic outlook with average UK weather patterns (pressure and rainfall) to estimate the likelihood of heightened environmental and perceived activity throughout the year:

Month	Geomagnetic Conditions	Typical Weather Pattern	Activity Rating (1–10)	What This Means
February	Elevated, unsettled	Low pressure, frequent rain	8 / 10	Strong convergence of geomagnetic variability and unstable pressure. Locations often feel reactive.
March	High variability (spring equinox)	Rapid pressure changes, showery	10 / 10	Peak month. Small triggers often produce strong effects. Historically very responsive.
April	Moderate–elevated	Unsettled with clearer spells	7 / 10	Sustained background “buzz” rather than sharp spikes. Good for longer investigations.
May	Moderate	Rising pressure, more stable	5 / 10	Calmer overall, but genuine anomalies stand out clearly against quieter conditions.
June	Moderate–low	Higher pressure, drier	3 / 10	Generally quiet. Useful for baseline readings and control sessions.
July	Low–moderate	Warm, mostly stable	2 / 10	Lowest activity period. Any experiences tend to be subtle and isolated.
August	Moderate (coronal hole streams)	Increasing humidity, less stable	5 / 10	Activity begins to return gradually as atmospheric stability declines.
September	High (autumn equinox)	Falling pressure, more rain	9 / 10	Second peak of the year. Strong coupling between geomagnetic and weather effects.
October	Moderate–elevated	Atlantic lows, damp and windy	8 / 10	Moisture and pressure changes strongly affect old buildings and enclosed spaces.
November	Moderate	Persistent low pressure, rain	6 / 10	Less dramatic than October but atmospherically heavy and perceptually intense.
December	Low–moderate	Cold, unsettled, slower systems	5 / 10	Long quiet periods with occasional isolated bursts of activity.

In short, can we forecast paranormal activity? If places feel more active at certain times of the year, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything has suddenly changed at the location itself.

What’s changing is the environment around it. When geomagnetic conditions and unstable weather (low pressure, rain, rapid shifts) line up, people tend to feel more sensitive, buildings respond more noticeably, and small events stand out more clearly. These periods don’t create activity, but they can amplify how it’s experienced and perceived. The takeaway is simple: expect stronger, more noticeable experiences in peak months like March and September, calmer conditions in summer, and use quieter periods to establish baselines.

Understanding this helps you stay grounded, interpret experiences more clearly, and plan investigations or visits with realistic expectations rather than assuming every spike means something new or escalating is happening.

I would be really interested in your feedback over the year! If we can make forecasts it would really help those who live with active locations.
