the newly developed technology of a quartz disc that can [store] 260 TB for an infinite about of time . . . A laser is pulsated into the quartz to write the data into the quartz chip.
Residual haunting usually stems from high emotional and traumatic events. For example, the Gettysburg Battle Field has hundreds of reported experiences of people who see parts of the battle play out right before their very eyes.
I don’t believe that a residual haunting always has to a terrible event. It could be the result of the habits of the people that live at a location.
In my conclusion, residual haunting occurs because an event is recorded into the quartz crystal laced soil itself. That is why some haunting continue even after a building structure is gone. The spirits or “recorded” events have not become connected to the buildings; they are connected to the soil (or what is in the soil).
They are repeated playbacks of auditory, visual, smell, and other sensory phenomena that are attributed to a traumatic event, life-altering event, or a routine event of a person or place, like an echo or a replay of a videotape of past events. Initial factors in the creation of a residual event range from repetitive to traumatic events.
this theory follows that a particular event, often a strong, emotional or tragic event, may be captured within some physical means or perhaps ‘psychically’ etched within or upon the structural framework of a particular location.

Well, as an actual science experiment, we could find some place like an old abandoned bunker and take very precise measurements as to all the electromagnetic field activity in it, as well as measurements of acoustic stuff like low frequency transmission, to establish a baseline. Then we trap some people in there and torture them and kill them, and then take those same measurements to see if anything has changed as a result of the torture and murder. Maybe we do this a few hundred times to make sure we have a big enough sample. Then we'll see what we got.

Don't know. If energetic personality matrices had a tendency to attach themselves to places or objects as a kind of residual effect, then it seems like there would be more places that are extremely heavily haunted. Like the Emergency Rooms in most hospitals. People are always dying there, and in very traumatic ways. Seems like your average Emergency Room would be so thick with ghosts you'd have to shove them aside to get work done. Also churches. People pouring out there emotions in churches would seem to make them ideal places for ghosts to set up shop, but churches don't seem to be any more haunted than your average old Victorian house.
Anyway, there doesn't seem to always be a strong correlation between heavy emotional energy and residual haunting. Maybe there are some other factors involved, but what those are are anybody's guess.

Also, what about the Scole Experiment? Very well documented case in UK where a ghost was "manufactured".
