Dorset here, and yes - my EMF meter basically becomes a disco light every time a decent storm rolls in off the Channel. 🌩️
Been tracking this for about three years now with a TriField TF2 and the correlation is embarrassingly obvious once you start logging it properly. Barometric pressure drops, and suddenly things that have been static for weeks decide they fancy a wander.
My working theory - and I know the physicists in the room will roll their eyes - is that the ionisation in the atmosphere during electrical storms essentially gives whatever is present a bit of a charge boost. Similar reasoning to why hauntings often spike in old properties with lead pipes and limestone foundations. The environment just becomes more conductive to... whatever this actually is.
What I find genuinely interesting is that poltergeist reports specifically (not your garden-variety residual stuff) seem to correlate more strongly with storm activity than straightforward apparition sightings do. Almost like the interactive phenomena need that extra energy to manifest.
Has anyone cross-referenced their incident logs against Met Office weather data for their area? Because if you haven't, you're basically doing archaeology without a trowel - possible, but why make life harder for yourself?
Curious whether people in coastal areas are seeing this more dramatically than inland locations, or if that's just my Dorset bias showing.
