Your Brain in a Fear Cage

Can a high frequency of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) make you feel haunted? Or is it that ghosts have more power to manifest when there is a high concentration of EMFs? We explore these questions, along with the science, research, and philosophy behind the way our brains react to high concentrations of EMFs, also known as “fear cages.”

The H Files

Welcome to The H Files: a limited-run miniseries where we delve deep into the folklore and science behind ghostly sightings and urban legends. This series began September 1 and will run every other Tuesday until November. If you would like to discuss anything you hear on the episode, please reach out to us in our Facebook Group! You can also reach out through Instagram. Also, as always, if you have something you’d like to contribute to the show, you can always email us at info@HomespunHaints.com.
