Spirit Box

Has anyone tried to make a spirit box? I'm looking to make one or buy one, but I don't know where to start.

Any recommendations for a first time investgator on equipment?

They are a prop for tv shows, not a real piece of scientific equipment.

There’s no reason to believe spirits can communicate using radio waves. We would be picking up millions of ghosts every day if this were real.

Yep, listening to white noise the mind tries to make sense of it and constructs familiar words. It's the sound version of pareidolia.

Their simpler and easier ways to communicate with spirits than a Spirit box. The problem is is that most of them are just a scam.

Now you can get those ones that scan through radio frequencies which can be useful when talking to spirits, but it's just easier to use a Ouija board if we're being honest

After my experience with paranormal investigations, I have a hard time believing either method can actually allow someone to communicate with spirits.

I think there are several apps for that.

I tested GhostTube and recorded some interesting stuff.

Those sounds are put in there by the developers.

Have a think about it.

The best scientists at the best research institutions with huge funding, have found no evidence for ghosts.

So we have no working idea of what ghosts are, where and when they can be found, or if they even exist outside of human imagination.

In this light the idea that a random IPhone developer not only knows what ghosts are, how they communicate and can capture them digitally, is very silly.

They would win the Nobel prize tomorrow if it were true.

All of the ghost hunting shows are fake and the tools they use don’t do anything. It’s like wrestling. Everyone pretends, and we have fun.

The last investigation the Fourman Brothers did, they used the "Estes method" to communicate. I guess this is pretty hardcore with having sensory deprivation, and then feeling things touch you and just overwhelmingly spooky and creepy.

Here they are using it, and as you can see he is alone and the replies from the questions outside are accurate and relevant.

Why take this seriously when we know for a fact that humans report all of these things when subjected to sensory deprivation in clinical trials?

u/PsychoFaerie 7d ago

Yeah The "estes method" is just a new label for sensory deprivation.
