Show Notes
Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society to present electronic voice phenomena recordings captured inside a home occupied by two women who practice Wiccan traditions. The residents reported being physically scratched, finding their altar scattered throughout the house, and discovering the word "he" written in ash on the front door. The investigators describe feeling a negative presence upon entering the home.
The EVP recordings include a child's voice saying "it ran away," a young female voice stating "Christian tore her clothes," and a male voice responding "I'm a big freak" when asked why he scratched the homeowner. Brendan notes that approximately 80 percent of their captures feature children's voices. He theorizes the different voices may represent a single entity adopting various personas rather than multiple spirits.
Art and the investigators discuss how Thomas Edison believed in communicating with the dead and how the Spiricom experiments produced two-way conversations with spirits. They encourage listeners to try recording EVP themselves with equipment as simple as a twenty-dollar recorder, noting that more than eight out of ten people who attempt it report capturing unexplained voices.
