THE TESLA COIL
A Tesla coil is a resonant transformer that will produce high voltage and current. It was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891.22 The Tesla coil works by generating an electrical field in the air. Depending on the coil's size, it can light fluorescent lights, neon tubes, cathode ray tubes, and other gases without a physical connection. The Tesla coil produces an electromagnetic wave that can interfere with radio and television reception and cause digital watches to malfunction. Small coils can be purchased from a number of scientific distributors and although they tend to be somewhat pricey, are interesting to use in experiments. We have two small coils at our disposal, but have not used them in the field, since we are waiting for the right case to try them. The small coil may not drive the djinn away, but theoretically it could be used to keep the disturbances at a minimum. The range of these small Tesla coils is limited to a small room. Operating one may not banish a djinni, however-it may only retreat to another part of the house in frustration and anger, and then cause even greater disturbances there.
Their Energy Level Is Sporadic
Djinn consume energy as a main source of sustenance. Like humans, they get tired when they are very active and then they require rest. In many homes that are experiencing paranormal phenomena the activity is sporadic and sometimes cyclic in nature. If a djinni is responsible, then during times of inactivity it may be resting. Djinn have longer life spans than humans. When we rest, some of us may sleep for eight hours. When a djinni sleeps, it could remain dormant for decades. The length of time a djinni "sleeps" depends on its age, its level of power, its health, and how much energy it has used. While at rest, a djinni is at its most vulnerable, perhaps presenting the best oppportunity to remove it.
Final Words
Djinn are composed of plasma, and like all plasma, are greatly affected by magnetic fields. If you are having paranormal disturbances in your home such as shadow people, poltergeists, strange lights, and other signs of a "haunting," try keeping lights and electrical appliances turned on. Unless you are an engineer, we don't recommend buying devices that generate electromagnetic fields like the Tesla coil, as they consume a considerable amount of power and could be dangerous if used improperly. We are constantly seeking information to learn more about the djinn and their purpose in this world. If you are having experiences similar to the ones we've discussed, please contact us. We respond to all letters and in some cases may want to visit your home and do an on-site investigation.
One final word to all paranormal investigators: please consider the djinn as part of the paranormal world. We believe that once you become acquainted with the djinn race, many of the more perplexing cases you investigate might make more sense. Also, consider that you are dealing with very old entities, and even the youngest of these beings are much older than most of human history. We hope the publication of this book will help inform people in Western countries, about this ancient race of neighbors who live next door, but who we rarely see.
Kings
Powerful black djinn. It is not known if all djinn are ruled by one king or many.
Clans
No one really knows how many clans exist. They are ruled by blue or yellow djinn and obey a djinn king.
Families
A yellow djinn or older green djinn may head a djinn family. A family usually consists of djinn who are related, but this may not always be the case.
Outcasts
Djinn who have no living family or those who have been exiled from a family or clan are considered outcasts. Most are not necessarily evil, but may be dangerous to other djinn and humans.
Rebels
Djinn that have broke away from the order of a king, clan or family. They are called red djinn and are considered evil and very dangerous to humans. Red djinn may be the "demons" of religious writings. They follow Iblis instead of God.
Black Djinn
The most powerful of all djinn, little is known about them. The only reference we have is from ancient Persia, where they were called shamir.
Blue Djinn
The elders and clan leaders of the djinn order. They have little interaction with humans, but have been known to participate in important moments of history. They are known as Marid, Nekratael, and Afreet.
Yellow Djinn
Middle-aged djinn with considerable power. Most are family leaders. They have little if no interest in the human race and the physical world. They are known as Juzam and the nastier ones are called Efreeti.
Green Djinn
Youngest and least powerful of the djinn. They are curious and like to interact with the human race in the physical world. Many young ones like to play pranks on humans. They are known as Erhnam, Kookus, Aamar, Arwaah, Jann, and Amir.
Red Djinn
Very old and powerful djinn. Most were once blue djinn. They worship Iblis and their goal is to destroy all humans. They are served by other djinn, and in rare cases, humans. Some serve willingly, some by force. They are known as ghouls, shaitan or shayteen, and ifrit.

1 The word Iblis is Arabic that translates into to English as "he who is despaired." The name was given to this djinni after he lost favor with God. His original name is unknown. However, many Muslim scholars and holy men believe his original name was Iblis, and after his fall from grace his name became "Shaitan" or "the deceiver." In some stories he is also identified as the fallen angel Azazel.
