Is it possible to catch and contain ghosts? One man believes so.
We might have first heard the idea of catching ghosts from the movie Ghost Busters,
where a ghost hunting team uses the power of their Proton Packs to capture and place
wayward spirits into some sort of a ghost containment trap. Many believe this to be a
far-fetched idea only possible in Hollywood movies, but a man by the name of Robert Bess
would disagree.
Mr. Bess has built what he calls a "Parabot Containment Chamber" which is claimed to
catch and hold ghosts of any type. It first caused a buzz within the paranormal communities
after appearing on a live Ghost Adventures television special that aired in October 2009.
Robert Bess is said to have been experimenting with theories originating from Nikola
Tesla and attempting to apply them within ghost investigation since 1982. His first ghost
containment chamber was constructed in 2003. Mr. Bess claims to have snagged
numerous ghosts with his unique machine which he says can be visibly seen manifesting
within the chamber's vortex of electrical energy. Having a degree in Physical Engineering,
Mr. Bess also has studied parapsychology course work at Memphis State University.

Mr. Bess theorizes that ghosts are simply
electromagnetic fields of energy that appear
in our plane, though often undetectable due to
cycling at a very low rate.
His Plexiglass ghost containment chamber is
8' by 4' in size, sitting upon a platform of
wheels that can be remote controlled to move
about a room. To catch a ghost, the electrical
monster contains magnetic locks, lasers and
what looks to be a Tesla coil used to not only
attract but grasp hold of unsuspecting entities.

We found a video of
the machine that is
said to be able to catch
ghosts in operation.

Bess' earlier model of

designed to catch a
ghost.
We're not sure of the
success of either of
these machines, but we
must admit that we are
certainly intrigued by
the idea. We feel it
important to dream and
experiment.

about what they saw after watching the events
unfold on video.
Needless to say, the controversy has created some
credibility issues...but as always, you decide. We
are relieved in a way. We view ghosts as being
people in spirit. Why would we want to catch them
anyways??
