EVP and ITC
A few words about EVP (electronic voice phenomena) and ITC (instrumental transcommunication)
Voices from beyond can easily be recorded using a regular cassette tape recorder with an external microphone. The
discovery was made in 1959 by Friederich Jurgenson, A Swedish researcher, and it started a wave of interest in this
field. Jurgenson was using a common tape recorder to record bird songs when he discovered mysterious voices in the
recordings. Mixed with the background sound, the wind shaking the leaves in the trees, it was possible to hear the
conversations of people who were not visible in the place where the recordings were made. After Jurgenson's
discovery, many other researchers began to experiment, trying to pick up voices from beyond. The most important of
these researchers was Dr. Konstantine Raudive. He died in 1974 but left a number of works aimed at convincing
humans that contact between the dead and the living is possible. Dr. Raudive applied the principle of stochastic
resonance to his research. The basic idea is that background noise acts as a carrier and can be modulated by any
other signals present in free space. Without background noise, these signals, (voices of the dead), are too weak to be
detectable, but in the presence of a noise (white noise) their levels increase beyond the threshold of detection and
become clear...sometimes even loud. White noise can also be described as a signal with no definite frequency.
