How the ghost box works.
July 13th, 2011 by Arwin John.
The
Ghost box works by sweeping of the AM or FM band. As the channels
are scrolled through upward or downward, a mix of white noise and
audio fragments can be audibly heard. These audio fragments may
best be described as bits and pieces of disc jockey voices, music,
or whatever is being broadcasted across the band at the time the
sweep is made. With the ghost box radio sweep method, the spirit or
ghost voices seem to be carried upon these audio fragments and white
noise.
We
believe these audio fragments sometimes not only alter the tone and
overall pitch of the spirit voice recorded, but also may affect the
pace of the message making it line-up in sync with the speed of the
frequencies changing. While making ghost box recordings, my own
voice, while asking questions, will sometimes be altered by in pitch
and pace, making it sound choppy and manipulated.
For
this reason, I do not believe that ghosts and spirits actually
manipulate the audio fragments into forming words to create a
message for us to hear. Many subscribe to this theory, but I
believe it is incorrect. My experiments seem to indicate that the
spirit voices we record are affected by the frequency changes of the
audio which is used as a carrier of the spirit voices.
However, there have been times when we have
also recorded spirit voices that were not affected whatsoever by the
audio fragments and white noise, as pitch and tone were left
unaltered by the sweeping ghost box. These messages seemed very
much "on top" of the audio fragments and white noise, but not
affected in tonality, though they were syncopated in rhythm,
possibly caused by the frequency changes of the ghost box. These
spirit voice recordings sounded much like
EVP
-
Electronic Voice Phenomena
, and were quite lengthy, appearing as the same voice in different
recordings.
Sometimes the voices heard through the ghost box are altered by the
sweep itself; but not always. This is why we cannot always know for
sure whether we have recorded a male or female person on the other
side of the grave by voice pitch alone.
The whole idea and premise behind
the box is that you have a nice fast sweep rate going through the
stations grabbing only small bits and pieces of the fragments that
they (spirits) utilize to form words and sentences, whatever the
case may be.
What I feel is
that they (spirits) use what we use. It doesn’t really matter. I
think it is more based on the person who is doing the research. I
seem to be able to, whatever I turn on, I get something.
