A WELL DOCUMENTED HAUNTING CASE

by Dr Adrian Klein

Historical Background

On April 11 1996, the husband of a Christian-Arab lady in Haifa suddenly died on his way to his workplace from an unexpected cardiac arrest. He left behind 4 children and a wife. Unable by then to financially ensure the family's budget, and in her distress, she turned to seek assistance in mystical circles.

Her husband's couriers' Office in Haifa downtown was taken over by a new owner and the business has run successfully since under the new owner's control.

Technological Background

Seeing some unexpected intrusions in the office during its being closed and at night-time, the owner decided to install a modern Infrared surveying system permanently connected via the web to his home PC's hard disk for permanent operative control.

The Infrared camera is sensitive enough to catch in full darkness any movement that might occur in the controlled space, and instantly activate an alert system for police intervention, while displaying the event upon the owner's home monitoring screen. The system starts working only upon a dynamic change happening in the environment.

For the record there is a free available hard disk space able to cover three months of monitoring - then old stuff is erased automatically in order to allow new recordings..

The recorded Information is documented in detail (exact time of event) - and 1-3 second high-resolution movie clips are supplied into the owner's control room and saved in his hard disk.

Records

Since the set-up of the control system described above, to the uttermost amazement of the Office's owner a very strange phenomenon was followed up upon his records:

Inside the Office room, during night time and in the early morning hours of the day, an unexplained white structure was caught flying around in the space sometimes at a distance of 2 meters from the Infrared Camera, displaying a certain focus upon the work table in the room.

The structure seems to radiate luminescence around itself, lightening its trajectory and the environmental objects in the room. While moving around, the luminous structure was constantly changing its form.

As the very sensitive alarm system is not activated by the strange intrusion, it seems reasonable to assume that no physical object in movement is detected.

See video footage broadcast on Israeli television.

Follow up

The case was brought to my knowledge a few years ago by a highly reliable Lady, Mrs. Gila Buium - leader of the Israeli Association for study of paranormal phenomena. She was the first one to be asked for an opinion by the owner of the Office and subsequently by the Israeli Television.

She seemed to be interested in my help for a thorough investigation of the alleged evidence of this well documented case of haunting.

I've forwarded the case to Mr. Alex Katsman from the Haifa Technological University for opinion display and possible further investigation.

At the same time, I've given my consent to forward the complex evidence as soon as properly documented to International investigation bodies, provided the full and unconditioned cooperation of the Office's owner would be achieved.

Unfortunately, the owner seemed to be interested only in getting rid of the phenomenon as quickly as possible by an efficient 'cleaning' intervention of the clergy, in order to ensure the undisturbed work of his team.

Comments.

It seems that we are witnessing here a well-documented case of paranormal evidence for space-bound haunting by a probably self-conscious entity - the former owner of the Office, victim of a sudden death some 10 years ago.

The haunting structure seems to be highly energized (possibly drawing its energy from environmental sources) - and thus able of radiating photon energy around itself.

The recurrent haunting was by chance caught upon firm evidence by the Infrared monitoring system installed.


Case Analysis by Daniele Gullà*

Introduction

The analysis has been done on one of the images supplied by Dr. Adrian Klein and more precisely the one named “image004.jpg”.

Such analysis can be considered as a preliminary step since a more reliable analysis should be accomplished on a good quality image, without the compression effect, typical in ".jpg" files sent by e-mail.
Despite such limitations some information on the nature of image and chromatic composition can be detected. The image under analysis is in RGB format and is visible in Fig. 1.


Fig.1 - Original of image.

As it can be noted the image is taken from a monitor and the luminance components are saturated either for intensity of radiating object or for an imperfect white balance (if a digital camera has been used).
The analysis has been performed by transforming the 3-colour bands with a multi-spectral segmentation using an application currently utilized by NASA to process the Landsat images (satellite) with georeferences.
The subdivision of each colour channel in other bands with () Fourier, has generated a 16-bands multi-spectral file from which has been obtained an averaged spectrum on the chrominance as visible in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 - Predictive spectrum obtained from the Spectral Library processed data.


In the diagram is visible a wide optical emission curve, ranging from 350 to 2500 nm approx., with a predominance in the red-infrared zone of the spectrum. A database constituted by 300 "Spectral Signatures" relevant to known substances (water, vegetation, rocks, etc) has been compared to the spectrum under analysis. The result visible in Fig. 3 concerns the presence of almost 40 of known substances or, in other words that the averaged spectrum of 40 "Spectral Signatures" is alike to the curve shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 3 - Spectral analysis using the 300-Spectral Signatures Library.

The spectral emissivity has been associated to the intense brilliance of the road asphalt reflection: even if my opinion is that this result should be verified on an image of better quality. On the right of Fig. 3 are visible some of 40 spectral answers identified by the system.

The image could contain other spectral information not identified due to the low quality of the same and for the limitation of my limited database. Probably with a more extensive library other similar spectra could be detected.

In any case, considered the very wide spectral band and the image radiating intensity, which exhibits a homogeneous response on a wide spectral base as noticeable in Fig. 4, my opinion is that the kind of radiation involved is very close to the synchrotron radiation or to a similar-plasma radiation.

In case of synchrotron radiation the major emissivity is shifted towards the UV and X spectral bands, for this reason it can be excluded. The software used is anyway limited to carry out analyses in the electromagnetic spectrum ranging between 300 nm up to 10,2 µm.

Fig 4 – It is noticeable the linearity in the intensity of each pixel

Fig. 5 - PSF (Point Spread Function) on the image.

The Fig. 5 shows the PSF applied to the image where a curve of pixel intensities, configured as a nearly perfect Gaussian bell, is evidenced. Such trend is presumptive in favour of the hypothesis relevant to an energy like-plasma or a radiation similar-synchrotron involved.

By considering the forces eventually playing (many eV) to generate such kind of radiation (with dominance of UV or X radiations) I ask to myself: is it possible?
Most probably the answer is no, nevertheless the case appears with a singularity of a continuous spectrum with a broadest band.

The spectral calculations carried out on an image which originally had a dynamic range and a much more limited band (ranging from 350 to 900 nm) obviously are predictive and suppose a spectral descending curve on the base of the peaks and spectra found in the software library.

Fig. 6 – Video frame

Fig. 6 shows another frame of the video supplied by Dr. Klein. The morphology of the bright shape can be observed as remarkably changed. By accomplishing a false-colours spectro-cromatographic analysis (see Fig. 7) it appears a heterogeneous radiation, which is not constantly pixel-saturated on the whole image and, the datum perhaps the most important, is that the radiation emitted by the supposed "extra" is also radiating toward the bottom, reflecting itself on the objects located on the table which in their turn are reflecting the radiating energy. This element is important since it confirms the genuineness of the phenomenon. In the case of a photomontage such a precise reflection is not possible to be achieved.


Fig. 7 - Spectro-cromatographic display.


The intensity spectral levels represented on a thermal scale reveal a constant decreasing of the thermal gradient in the surrounding environment, particularly over the table and a homogeneous radiation that decreases with the square of distance going away from the image "extra".

Fig. 8 shows a graphic representation of such thermal gradients in a view of the enlarged item.

CONCLUSIONS

The film examined seems to be genuine and not manipulated even if, to give more reliable information, an investigation on the original material is needed. The intense brightness and the spectral characteristics of the haunting phenomenon point out the presence of a widest band radiation with the higher intensity located between the visible and the near infrared spectrum (NIR).

The typology is assimilable to a similar-synchrotron radiation even if the radiation probably is not of the same nature. To give more details a wider spectra database is needed like the one used by military air force to investigate with greater resolution the nature of the light examined and, in addition, a database of chemical elements richer than the one that I have in my hands (composed by only 300 "spectral signatures").

Similar cases, but presenting different spectral characteristics, are mentioned in literature and indirectly studied in our Laboratorio.

For example the apparition of the Zeitoun Madonna (1970), showing a very similar shape to the analysed one, but exhibiting particular spectral characteristics.

Fig. 9 shows the photo as taken at Zeitoun and Fig. 10 shows as the spectral analysis has evidenced a phenomenon of water molecules ionization (hydrogen+oxygen) that is a typical of an exposure to radiations strongly energy-producing (almost 12 eV).

Hydrogen and ionized oxygen peaks with a light spectral line widening effect can be noted.
