Yesterday at 12:40 pm I performed an experiment to test the potential
of a device known as a Ghost Box. This instrument also known as a
Frank's Box is simply a radio that quickly scans multiple AM/FM
stations. Normally these are apparatuses modified from old RadioShack
technology, however I wished to immediately find the answer to the big
question. Can a Ghost Box allow one to have a two-way conversation with
the spirits of the dead in real-time? If so, this would make the process
of necromancy quite a bit easier.
The device I settled on using
was a Nokia cellphone, it might be an unusual choice but it is
incredibly easy to transport. For the experiment I did not bother to
leave my house, choosing to rely on the idea that ancestor spirits are
almost always near the vicinity of the descendents who wish to
communicate with the dead. I asked three questions which would allow me
to gauge the veracity of the matter. Here are the questions I asked
along with the answers I received while scanning.
Q. Is there anybody there?
A. Yes, yes, yes (Song Lyric)
Q. How are you?
A #1. Patient (Radio Host Speech)
A #2. Mending my broken heart (Song Lyric)
Q. Is there anything I should know?
A. Tools to help you find out... (Various Radio Hosts) ... the good times we know... (Song Lyric)
From
this I have drawn a couple of hypotheses regarding this manner of
communication. Firstly there seem to be genuine responses to the
questions asked. Secondly longer messages seem to be broken up between
different sources and sometimes are incomplete. However until I have
accumulated more data through repeated testing it is not safe to
conclude that experiences gained from this method are legitimate
messages. Furthermore there seems to be no way to determine the
identities of the speakers (if there are any) because of the limited
number of full proper names used in Radio broadcasts.
