Exploring how technological apparatuses ""capture"" invisible worlds, this book looks at how spirits, UFOs, discarnate entities, spectral energies, atmospheric forces and particles are mattered into existence by human minds. The book uses contemporary case studies where the realm of the invisible arises through technological engagement, and where the paranormal intertwines with modern technology.
