Abstract
Introducing PossessAir, the world’s first drone-based spectral delivery service, designed at the convergence of paranormal logistics, experimental psychology, and unmanned aerial systems. Unlike conventional drone delivery platforms that transport physical goods, PossessAir carries what we term Autonomous Haunting Entities (AHEs)—real, disarmed poltergeists encased within a patented ectoplasmic containment system. Upon arrival, the drone deploys the AHE into the domestic interior, where it initiates a calibrated haunting sequence ranging from auditory phenomena (footsteps, whispers, poltergeist tapping) to localized atmospheric manipulation (cold drafts, shadow apparitions).
The research agenda behind PossessAir explores two primary domains:
1. Technological Invasion and Psychospiritual Response: How the seamless fusion of aerospace robotics and discarnate intelligences reframes concepts of personal space, security, and post-mortem agency.
2. Applied Hauntology in Consumer Entertainment: How on-demand spectral encounters produce measurable alterations in neurocognitive states, including delirium, awe, and existential disquiet, thus informing next-generation therapies for boredom, skepticism, and suburban ennui.
Preliminary trials indicate a 73% success rate in inducing productive ontological panic among participants, with 41% reporting “lasting metaphysical confusion” three weeks post-encounter. Future iterations of PossessAir will integrate swarm-drone architectures for multi-spirit deployment and machine learning systems enabling poltergeists to adapt in real time to homeowner psychological profiles.
PossessAir thus represents not merely a delivery service but an ontological interface between human domesticity, aerial robotics, and the restless dead, advancing both entertainment economies and post-human phenomenology.
