Abstract: We have adapted the techniques of scanning probe microscopy to devise a process for measuring ectoplasmic forces. Our method uses a hotel californium (HCf) probe tip with a demonic soul (DS) point defect. The process described allows for the easy collection of characteristic spectra and non-optical optical measurements of wavelength. We benchmarked our technique by characterizing gadolinium cobalt (Gd0.2Co), which we found to be possessed by a red ghost with a density of malicious intent (DMI) of 0.218 ± 0.007 g/cm³.
