 TPOC (Experimental) I (Nodrog) coined this acronym many years ago and stand by it today thus being a great tool to assist investigating the real paranormal events. A TPOC would comprise of a type of communication from an unknown source. For example, copycat noises / whistling or knocking. Plausible conversations via a digital device like Electronic Voice Phenomena or 'EVP' I would also consider some Poltergeist activities as a positive response. Equipment Used in Episodes (All experimental)
REM Pod: A radiating electro magneticity device that senses variations in electromagnetic fields around its area. Its said a spirit will effect the field thus creating the pod to alert. Cat Balls: These sensors will flash if moved slightly indicating a possible energy. iPhone Apps: Its suggested spirits could manipulate the App data banks to create a word or sounds formulated to make a form of communication. SLS camera: It uses infrared and visible light to map out a figure or shape of a possible spirit. K2 meter: This senses fluctuations in the Earths magnetic energy thus alerting user. The energy value is given via green to red light on the display. Spirits may use this as a form of direct communication. 
The TPOC Paranormal Scale As far as I can investigate I understand there is no scale to judge or value a site investigation based on paranormal events. This could be an industry first! Over the years of investigations I've attributed a scale (mainly in my head) to how haunted or paranormal a place maybe. There is no real science behind this scale apart from personal experience however I feel the industry could do with classifying paranormal events to help research and investigators understand what is to be expected. The suggested system: This may also aid paranormal tourist spots in placing a value of expectancy or strength based off recorded events. For example if a venue is rated at '5' this would state it's a highly likely you will experience paranormal events. Classification: I feel the value related to each classification should be only provided with reasonable means of investigation - a standard where more than one method of practice provides a 'True Positive Occurrence or Communication The types of TPOC would comprise of copycat responses, knocks, words, sounds, or physical interaction both personal or by technical means. Repeated knocking, cat ball style response, EVP's are all valid values but not as an isolated occurrence. At this stage possession should not be considered as this may have far too many interferences either direct or by proxy. I highly suggest an independent investigation with similar results should be followed up by an industry respected investigator, morally or professionally to help confirm the sites potential. How the system might work: Taking all above into account a national record of the venue and it's classification could be provided to the public. It would be difficult to be definitive on results as events are quite personal to the investigator however more than one person should conduct the investigation as to rule out any false occurrences. This is an area I'm (Nodrog) looking in to with similar minded investigators to help fine tune the results. It should be accepted as time passes the results and said system will be better suited to it's aims and purpose. Classification: I would like to title the classification as the TPOC Scale. The scale starts at 0 and finishes at 5. Poltergeist* activity would be defined by physical interactions or objects moved by force. Honest personal unexplained harm, doors slamming, items thrown are all accepted. Random Orb or uncoherent poltergeist style knocking should not considered at this stage due to the risk of a false claim. What should be accepted? All standards must be recorded and witnessed by two or more people and classed as a positive response.. Table tipping, Ouija or similar is not accepted due to the direct human involvement.
SCALE
Validity As part of an ongoing effort to classify sites at this stage it is reasonable to expect paranormal investigators to self classify for initial or personal reasons. It would be expected in the near future for a more organised effort to be practised and recognised nationally. Notes: According to common English definition: *Poltergeist is known for is making "knocking" noises, so it will come as no surprise to learn that the word poltergeist translates literally from German as knocking spirit. The German verb polter means "to knock, and "Geist" is the German word for "spirit." Another "Geist" descendant in English is "zeitgeist" ("the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era"). The English word ghost is also related; it descends from the same ancient root that led to "Geist." Although "ghost" has been used in English since before the 12th century, "poltergeist" is a relative newcomer, first appearing as an English word in the middle of the 19th century. TPOC Explained: ** True Positive Occurrence or Communication or TPOC is defined as in the word 'TRUE' being such an event not falsely assumed to be paranormal either by mistake or purpose. For example the suggested occurrence is more than likely not natural. An EVP in response to a question giving a clear understanding of the answer is acceptable. A vague or easily misunderstood response should be ignored. This will edit out false events and refine the work investigated on site. Positive is given in the sense that not only was it true evidence, the 'KEY' part of evidence is clearly understandable or obvious that the paranormal event was a direct form of communication.
