Spirit World: The Ghost In the Machine
By Tim Haigh

Maggy Harsch-Fishbach began experimenting with EVP in 1984. Although her husband Jules was initially skeptical of the phenomenon, she gained such positive results that he became convinced the other worldly voices were genuine. For the first year and a half, their results were typical of what other EVP experimenters obtain, but in 1986 they received a message that was to change significantly the way they worked. The Harsch-Fishbachs were told by spirit communicators on a radio link dubbed the Eurosignal Bridge to tune their TV set to an inactive channel and disconnect the aerial. Setting up a video camera two meters away from the set, they began recording.

  "We noticed several flashing images on the TV screen," recalls Maggie, "but these were of such short duration that no details could be discerned. The recording lasted 10 minutes. The tape was replayed in very slow motion and within a few frames an image of a man appeared who was well known to us from previous audio communications." Through the Eurosignal Bridge, the man told them that a research group was being formed on the Other Side and that they must do likewise on earth.

  So on October 16, 1986, the Harsch-Fishbachs founded the Luxembourg Study Circle in Transcommunication - CETL - and soon after, an entity calling himself "Technician" made contact and began coordinating activities. He would tell the couple when a message was going to be transmitted or an image was due to appear, so everything could be recorded. Uniquely, the Harsch-Fishbachs were able to conduct two-way conversations with their new-found spirit friends. (This system, still in use today, can only be used effectively when less than four people are present. When larger groups are in the recording room, the Harsch-Fishbachs use the Eurosignal Bridge, what they call "a personal paging system" operating on the FM waveband. This second method allows the spirit world to communicate, but not for anybody on earth to respond).

  In 1988, Technician informed the couple that they had been selected as the earthbound colleagues of "Timestream," which was the collective name for the group of spirit beings banded together specifically to strengthen and develop the link that had been achieved between their world - the third astral level - and earth. As the link became established, so the communications increased not only via the Eurosignal Bridge and on TV, but also on a computer, where text and images would appear overnight in special files.

  Well-known English author and traveler Richard Francis Burton (1821- 90) joined the spirit team and transmitted long descriptions of his journeys through the astral planes, especially along what he called the River of Eternity. EVP pioneers Friedrich Juergenson and Konstantin Raudive "returned home" to confirm they were helping to develop ITC technology, and a female communicator calling herself Swejen Salter introduced herself.

  In the years that followed, Salter effectively took over Technician's role as spirit-side project leader and formed a warm relationship with the Harsch-Fishbachs. Below is a summary of reports received, via computer and telephone, which she gave describing the world in which she lived.

Very interesting: Your thread ended up taking me to http://www.worlditc.org/ while researching. Thanks - Nanner
