Many people are sure that the other world really exists. And it is quite possible to establish contact with him. At the same time, in order to talk with the deceased, you can not use special boards for spiritualistic sessions and not resort to the services of mediums. After all, thanks to modern technology, anyone can record the voice of a ghost and decipher its message to the world of the living. We will try to understand what the phenomenon of electronic voice (EPG) is in this article.
First attempts to "make contact" with the world of the dead
Thomas Edison tried to hear voices from another world. He believed that people are not able to communicate with the subtle worlds only because their sense organs are not sensitive enough for this. Well, the soul is a certain kind of wave that does not disappear after death, but simply begins to exist in a different form. The inventor believed that it was possible to invent equipment that could register messages from "dead souls". True, Edison himself did not have time to realize his plan.
There is a version that Nikola Tesla was involved in recording the voices of dead people. True, he was frightened of the results of his own research and destroyed them. Therefore, it is currently impossible to verify this information.
Recordings by Friedrich Jurgenson
The electronic voice phenomenon was discovered by accident. In 1959, Swedish documentary filmmaker Friedrich Jürgenson set out to record songbird voices for his new film. However, along with the bird singing on the film, it was possible to distinguish the voices of people who seemed to Jurgenson similar to the voices of his deceased relatives. Surprisingly, they told Friedrich details that could only be known to him himself, and facts regarding the closest relatives of the operator … Well, at certain moments, the amazed Jurgenson heard someone giving a lecture in a male voice about the characteristics and habits of birds living in Sweden. It was concluded that such a broadcast could not be a random combination of sounds: it was a meaningful message addressed to a specific person.
It is Friedrich Jurgenson who is considered the founder of the FEG study. He is the author of the first book published on this subject, called "Radio Communication with the Beyond".
Experiments by Konstantin Raudive
Konstantin Raudive, a psychologist from Latvia, a student of Carl Gustav Jung, tried to continue the research of Friedrich Jurgenson. Raudive's first book, which describes the phenomenon of electronic voice, is called "The inaudible becomes audible", the second - "ExperiencingAre we death?”.
In 1971, a rather remarkable experiment was carried out with the participation of Konstantin Rudiev. The psychologist was invited to the acoustic laboratory, which was completely shielded from any possible electrical interference. Radiev was in a room isolated from external noise. For 18 minutes he just talked "with space". During the recording, no one present in the laboratory noticed the noise. However, when the tape was listened to, it turned out that over a hundred voices could be heard on it.
How do ghosts "talk"?
Raudive came to the conclusion that it is best to record an electronic voice against the background of some kind of white noise. The researcher believed that the dead can use chaotic sound waves, transforming them into the sound of their own voice: disembodied souls are not capable of making sounds on their own. After all, the first recordings were made against the background of birdsong and wind noise, which served as “building material” for the ghosts.
By the way, after the death of Raudive, his colleagues managed to record the voice of the researcher: the psychologist advised not to stop studying the phenomenon of electronic voice…
Fashion craze
If in the middle of the 19th century the world was seized by a craze for spiritualism, then in the 60s of the 20th century a fashion for the phenomenon of electronic voice began in Europe. People tried to contact their deceased relatives using telephones, tape recorders, televisions …even societies for the study of FEG. The phenomenon of the electronic voice was considered real: it was possible to obtain numerous evidence that people who had left earthly life were trying to establish contact with the living and were quite benevolent towards them. Even in the Vatican, after listening to some recordings, they did not condemn the "contactees", passing a short verdict: "God's will for everything."
Voice recorders
In 1973, US inventors George Meek and William O'Neill began work on a special device that would allow contact with the ghostly world. The device, called Spirik, consisted of several generators that simulated 13 voices, as well as a receiving system. The inventors claim that with the help of Spirik, they were able to establish contact with a recently deceased scientist from NASA and record as many as 20 hours of conversation.
In 1982, German physicist Otto Koening tried to create a system for communicating with the world of the dead, which would transmit messages in the infrared. However, there was no convincing evidence that the device works.
Unfortunately, at the moment, devices that would allow establishing stable contact with the paranormal world have not been invented. Although it is possible that this fact should be rejoiced, because it is not for nothing that it is said that “in considerable knowledge there are considerable sorrows…”.
How to record ghost voices?
Many researchers try to recordthe voices of the dead, using ultra-sensitive equipment and special programs for sound processing. Everyone can try to conduct an independent experiment. If you are interested in EEG (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), how to record it, we will tell you. You just need to arm yourself with a microphone and spend some time decoding the signal. Some "professional" researchers studying the phenomenon of electronic voice, the instructions for recording which experimenters will need, recommend turning off the lights in the room and lighting candles, as this contributes to a better quality of communication with the other world. However, it is not necessary to do this at all: in any case, mysterious noises will be heard on the recording.
Content of messages from the other world
What are the voices from the other world talking about? As a rule, it is possible to fix individual words or phrases, occasionally long phrases come to the “lucky ones”. EEG (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) researchers, whose reviews indicate that contact is possible, argue that if a person present in the recording room asks questions, then he can get answers to them.
By the way, researchers of paranormal phenomena believe that the souls of the dead are able not only to talk to the living, but also to show them their image, projecting themselves on the screen of the TV turned off. True, most of the "projections" were observed on televisions equipped with tube kinescopes. Apparently, modern technology for some reason does not allow ghosts to appear to surviving relatives.
Criticism
Of course, the temptation is very great to believe that after death the human soul does not disappear, but continues to exist in a different form, protecting and caring for those left on earth. Such faith helps to survive grief, instills confidence that sooner or later a meeting with deceased loved ones will still take place. However, is the phenomenon of the electronic voice of faith scientifically worthy?
The answer, unfortunately, is negative: it can be argued that the phenomenon of electronic voices has been unraveled. No serious researcher will devote time, for example, to Christmas fortune-telling, when girls, placing one mirror opposite another, see their betrothed in the reflection. Of course, this is just a game of imagination, multiplied by an ardent desire to see the image of a certain person. Electronic voices sound very unconvincing: if desired, in the "white noise" you can hear any phrase and even recognize a familiar voice. After all, the human brain is designed in such a way that it tries to bring order to any chaos. This is what the Rorschach test is based on: seeing ink blots, a person notes their resemblance to animals, plants, people or household items.
In addition, almost all the recordings that are posted on the Web, in fact, turned out to be a fake, created by processing a recording of an ordinary live voice. Therefore, it is unlikely that anyone managed to record a message from the other world. Of course, many people are interested in the phenomenon of electronic voice: a documentary about this phenomenon attracts a lot of attention. However, to FEGshould be treated as another urban myth that arose in the wake of civilization reaching a new technological level. If before the world of the dead was contacted with the help of boards and plates, now telephones and digital records come to the rescue …
Sometimes the longing for a person who has passed away can be unbearable. I would like to hear a phone call in the apartment after the death of a loved one and a native voice would say: “I got there well, I’m settling down, see you.” Perhaps because of this blind hope that the soul does not die, but simply moves to a new stage of existence, FEG research is so popular. Scientific evidence that the dead can talk to the living, unfortunately, has not been received.
