At the end of this post I want to encourage you to join the informal experiment and reply via a comment with your findings. But first…
I just finished Speaking to the Dead with Radios by Michael Hobert Edwards. In this young area of spirit communication, he is one of the leading pioneers. Even though I don't have the wealth of experience at Radio Sweep that Michael has, I found myself agreeing with many of his thoughts and realizing that I could back those opinions up with experiences that I've had with a spirit box. In some areas I did have a few differing opinions… or maybe a better way of saying it is that I'd probably do some things differently. I was impressed by how thorough Mr. Edwards was at covering his entire radio sweep process, from the actual radio sweep devices, to how he records, how he analyzes, edits, and documents what he finds. The book really made me stop to take a look at my entire process of EVP recording, in general. And it may have just inspired me to try my hand at hacking a radio myself. I considered doing this a few years ago but chickened out. I want to try it, but I'll definitely have to reach out for some techie help. I think Speaking to the Dead with Radios would be well worth the read for anyone involved in spirit communication, or in the paranormal, in general.
Let's try something just for fun… an informal radio sweep experiment!
If you've never tried your hand at radio sweep or using a spirit box, here's your chance. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be such a paranerd with all of your free time, give it a try! If you're a seasoned researcher/investigator, I'd love to hear from you too!
Listen to the audio clip below. It is a 2 minute and 40 second portion of a Ouija Board/Spirit Box session I conducted back in December. This is the same session in which I claimed to hear the response of “Ouija… board” (read the blog post from that experience HERE) after asking whoever was present to tell me what I was touching. You'll hear the “Ouija… board” response at the very end of the clip.
Regardless of whether or not you think the words or messages you hear are paranormal, what do you hear? Do you think what you're hearing is the result of Pareidolia (matrixing)? Doesn't matter at the moment. What do you hear? Even if you've decided a particular message or response is from a radio DJ, or a commercial for a little blue pill, or a portion of your favorite Barry Manilow hit, what do you hear? You'll probably hear many short messages and responses. Will everyone hear the same messages? Leave your findings in a comment.
Before you begin, be aware that you will hear my voice as I ask a few questions. I look forward to hearing from you all!
What do you hear? Length: 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
