trained me for three months to teach me all the information they’re
giving you guys tonight.”
“Are you serious?” I asked incredulously. I guess I could see
that. It would probably take me that long to remember how to use
half of that equipment.
“Yeah. So don’t worry. If you ever actually want to ghost
hunt, they’ll give you more information. But you probably won’t
want to associate with us weirdos.”
Ah, crazy blush, we meet again. “I told you I’m sorry about
that” I seriously felt bad. He was really nice, and I realized after
seeing doctors and lawyers and other upstanding non-creepy citizens
tell their ghost stories, that I had misjudged the crowd.
“I’m kidding! Relax.”
“What’s your name?” I asked, changing the subject.
“Tucker.” He placed the book he had been reading on the
counter so he could hold out his hand. When I glanced at the title as
I reached over the book, I felt even worse about judging him earlier.
This guy recognized my Ghostbusters reference and read Fight
Club. That alone made him someone I would probably have been
friends with in high school.
“So what’s confusing you?” he asked after we’d shaken
hands.
“The equipment. I am not mechanically minded at all. I can’t
tell an electronic-magnet-whatever from a spatula.”
Tucker laughed again. “Electromagnetic. All that really
means is a field made by things with an electric charge. The meters
we have measure the changes in that field — hence the name
Electromagnetic Field Meter, or EMF meter. Basically, the theory is
that the presence of a ghost creates a change in that field. So, if your
meter shows a jump to a higher number, there may be a ghost
hanging around.”
I raised my hands in mock applause. “Ladies and gentlemen,
EMF meters for Dummies, presented by Tucker of The End Shelf.
Next, he will explain Infrared Cameras for Complete Morons,
specifically designed for Chelsea Keller.”
