I just read this artical from the news on recording voices of the dead... Here I copied and pasted it for you to read, what do you think true or false?   

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Can voices of the dead be heard on ordinary audio tapes recorded in a quiet room?


Swedish archeologist, documentary maker and artist Friedrich Juergenson pioneered research into Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). Eighteen years after his death, interest in EVP is surging thanks to the horror movie "White Noise" in which Michael Keaton receives messages from his dead wife.

"We picked up maybe 60 new members after the movie," said Lisa Butler, who runs the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (www.aaevp.com) together with her husband Tom from their home in Reno, Nevada.

Their Web site recorded 88,000 hits the day after the movie opened and the Butlers appear on the "White Noise" DVD's extra material, demonstrating how to record EVP.

The Butlers see the voices as evidence of life after death and say they have recorded the voices of Tom's father, Lisa's mother and her paternal grandmother. "We have been recording the voices for 15 years and have proved to ourselves that it's possible to reach loved ones," said Lisa Butler. "We have done that."

Believers say getting in touch with a dead relative through EVP can help the grieving process and the association's roughly 400 members include parents whose dead children have contacted them through EVP, said Lisa.

The voices cannot be heard live, only when a recording is played back. Messages are often short, such as "I miss you" or "I love you," and are usually just louder than a whisper. Anyone can record and hear them but not everyone manages to establish contact with lost family members, say the Butlers.

"There are always entities on the other side who are willing to talk to you. But getting a loved one, a specific person, is a little more of a challenge," said Tom.

FACT OR FICTION?

"White Noise" dwells on the dangers of communing with the dead and the moviemakers say one in 12 EVP messages are "overtly threatening."

"That's pure science fiction," said Tom Butler.

Skeptics dismiss EVP as the by-product of stray radio waves or over-active human imagination. Even in the esoteric world of parapsychologists, the concept is frowned upon.

"I find the idea of EVP simply ludicrous. The human brain is designed to find meaningful patterns, even where there's only randomness. So it's not surprising some people believe they have heard something in the noise," said Joakim Westerlund, who does research into parapsychology at Stockholm University.

Undaunted by such comments and the occasional accusation from religious groups that they are dallying with demons, the Butlers recommend non-believers try out EVP for themselves.

"This is something that each and every person can do, and when you get a voice it's life-changing," said Lisa Butler.

Juergenson first heard strange voices while recording bird song in 1959. Recording silence and white noise from the radio, he identified one of the voices as his dead mother and concluded that all such voices must come from beyond the grave.

In a colorful career, the Swede who died in 1987 at the age of 84 conducted archeological excavations at Pompeii and under St Peter's Basilica at the     Vatican, spoke 10 languages and as an artist was commissioned to paint portraits of two popes.

In 1999, Swedish composer and sound artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff stumbled across Juergenson's archive of 1,000 tapes. He now chairs the Friedrich Juergenson Foundation which put out a CD "Best of" the EVP recordings and an English translation of Juergenson's 1967 book "Voice Transmissions With the Deceased."

"He is a lot more famous now than he was five years ago," said von Hausswolff, who called Juergenson's research "a kind of pioneering work into the absurd."

From time to time, Juergenson's recordings are featured along with sound art in galleries, and von Hausswolff has organized exhibitions about his life and work.

"A guy who devotes himself to something this odd is something very much out of the ordinary. People like that deserve a medal," said von Hausswolff

I have a friend in Australia who has been recording voices from the afterlife on a regular cassette recorder. The most amazing recordings are from those people who are still 'stuck' from 9-11. There's also people stuck from the same area as ground zero but from a much earlier time.  She has 2 way conversation with them.

Love, Mairlyn

Don. Apologies for the added extras..You said you gave David Fontana's book a rave review....Was this in his published book, or, some other publication..If so, can you name it(publication) and post your original review here for all to read on Bruces site..Love and tolerance...Jordon

Hi Marilyn

Do you have any other information about the folks from this earlier era in NY but in the same area as Ground Zero? Exactly same area or nearby since for those of us who don't know NYC it would be the same. Was there another "mass exodus " there? Do you have a date?

Roger-

I ran a past life session in which I got one of the pilots of a 911 airplane speaking Farsi. Unfortunately, I can't find the recording. Howeverhe also communicated directly with the English speaking regressee who repeated what he said in English. He mentioned that his group was made up of cells of 3 and that they communicated by writing messages on restroom walls. Asked about plans to attack the Golden Gate Bridge, he said that it was water under the bridge and a matter of "pink paper".  The impression was that communication was direct and telepathic, and not linguistic.

I also rescued an "extra-galactic alien" who got stuck on someone else as an entitiy who was able to communicate clearly, while complaining that we had the wrong kind of bodies and the wrong number of available dimensions. Again, the impression was that communication is direct mental imagery.

I'm interested in anyone who can suggest ways to record voices more clearly. I was thinking about a regenerative system with multiple levels that might allow better coupling to the everyday manifestations supporting the spirit's presence.

In passing, if we notice that spirits often are sensed as a "cold spot", this would imply a reduced Brownian motion of air molecules in that region. The reduced motion could be due to their support of the spirit's manifestation by altering the molecular ballistics in that spot. This kind of thing would suggest that a whisper is all we get because there is vey little "stuff"  with which to create sound. Hence my thought about regeneration.  Has anyone tried an accoustical regenerative system?

The person can remain anonymous, and could still give info!; I just wanted to know something for a reason. By much earlier I now guess that you mean Native American earlier? There was another tragedy in the general area but not the same spot in the early 1900's.  I like confirmations and I was trying to see if maybe there was some confirmation as to why I was reading about this last night. It would be interestin gto know about the earlier people...why would they be hanging around the place that became Ground Zero?

Hey Lucy, I'll write to her and see if she'll tell me again. I lost all my messages from her when I changed computers or I could look it up.  I do seem to remember, though, something about Native Americans. Hmmmmm.............give me time as she's very busy.
Love, Mairlyn 

hmmm Mike...I think you've got something there about the resonance thing. I think if we do have sensitive technology out there already it would mostly pick up astral stuff; messages like "I'm here." or "I can read your thoughts". etc. I listened to Art Bell EVP's a couple of times. nothing earth shattering there to gain except that yes, life in some form does continue.
all that's left up to interpretation. the EVP's are short. 2 way conversations have not been broadcast by Art Bell anyway, but I suspect it would be entirely superficial conversations but still worthwhile to get across the idea that this other realm is existent on a mass scale so I'm all for it.
resonance though...that idea is like having an internal connection. when I think of that word I'm reminded how plucking a guitar string will subtly cause the same string of another guitar to vibrate. anyway I'm sure I'm getting a glimpse of how singing helps your retrieval work! love, alysia
