A Pennsylvania man charged in a fatal shooting told police that his actions were sparked by an unsettling response from a 'paranormal meter.' The unfortunate incident reportedly occurred earlier this year in the community of Sunbury when Jared Heath Wolfe and his girlfriend, Jane White, were visiting some friends. According to police, the presumably convivial scene turned tragic after the group partook in what is believed to have been some synthetic marijuana. Shortly thereafter, Wolfe wielded what he later described as a 'paranormal meter' to examine a statue in the home. Although the specific nature of the device is uncertain, the feedback received during the impromptu investigation rattled Wolfe, who explained to police that "the reading came back high."
Troubled by the response from the paranormal meter and almost certainly under the influence of the drugs he had consumed moments earlier, the man began to suspect that his friends were plotting to kill and eat him. This led to a terrified Wolfe frantically fleeing their home to procure a firearm from his car. Meanwhile, White followed her boyfriend out to the vehicle, which turned out to be a tragic decision, as he shot her out of fear that she was part of the perceived plot. Police subsequently caught up with Wolfe, who had fled the scene, and charged him with a litany of offenses, including first- and third-degree murder.
