It was five years ago when Frank Jones' wife and son died unexpectedly. His son, Steven, died of a brain tumor at an early 32. Three months later, his wife, Sadie died from a heart attack at the age of 69.

Sadie was a cell phone addict. "She always had a mobile with her," Jones told the Blackpool Gazette. So, of course, they buried Sadie with her cell phone.

Now Jones believes Sadie is getting service six feet under, and she has been sending him text messages with words only Sadie would say. Of course, there is no return number on the messages or missed calls, leading Jones to believe the communications are form his deceased wife.

Creepy? Yes. But here's where things get creepier: The house Jones lives in has a history of hauntings from a being called "The Thornton Thing". The entity drove a family from the house in 1971, and after the Jones family suffered hauntings as well, they had the house exorcised.

It wasn't until the untimely deaths of his wife and son did Jones start experiencing messages from beyond. The obvious question we can't help asking: What kind of service does one get up there? She's clearly getting a lot of dropped calls.

Phone Calls From the Dead

It seems more articles are dealing today with phone calls from the dead then ever before. People are even devising ways to use their own cell phones to detect ghosts. as Technology changes so does the way a real ghosts contacts from the other side. From Evp's to ghost photos and videos, What's next , instant and Text messages and Emails from the dead?

Today there or web sites like www.phonecallsfromthedead.net Where the explanations and many calls might just get you to sit up and take notice. The many mysterious phone calls from the dead is not an uncommon one. It actually happened to me once. The call came in and it was not for me a friend was visiting and the phone rang I answered it and a mans voice in a low tone said . "Hello, Hello!" "Is Rita there?" "Can she come to the phone this is important and my time is short." I handed the phone to her. Rita took the phone from me, she listened for about 30 seconds then fainted away cold. When she came too She was pale and afraid she said it was her dead boyfriend and he told her he loved her and missed her. I was astounded I thought I recognized his voice though it was low and static was humming in my ear. He had been dead for about two or 3 months months at the time. He was killed in a boating accident. No one knew she was at my home she came by spur of the moment. And certainly to tell you it was a new phone number I had just gotten the week before since I had just moved to a new apartment. The caller ID said Caller Unknown!

I had to sit back. She was effected badly . I asked her was it really him? Could it be someone who just sounded like him? To my surprise Rita said it was him! " Well he called me by my nick name he gave me." "And only he used that name." "He also said It was ok for me to start dating and thank you for the letter I slipped into his pocket in the coffin." My mind was blown!

Phone Calls From The Dead occur quite spontaneously, if it happens to you once it might never happen to you again. But also consider those that get daily calls from the otherside. Sometimes the phone just rings and a whisper is heard, others tell of full sentences and conversations that might last for an hour or more. I have personally researched the matter and many stories have come to light.

If you were dead who would you call and why?

The deceased caller or ghost usually had a closed relationship with the recipient of the call. Often such calls, the telephone usually rings normally, but some have reported that it may have sounded sound flat and abnormal or just plain strange to hear.

Often many report that the connection is bad, Static, Or low muffled or tin like and the voice of the deceased fades in and out. And other times it is as clear as if they are right in the room with you.

The voice of the dead person is very recognizable, however, and usually speaks familiar or pet names and words and of interesting fact that occurred before during or after they died.

These Dead incoming phone calls are often terminated very fast, either by the caller (Who is frightened out of their wits.) or by the line going dead because the ghost lost his connection. If the voice is too faint, the recipient may hang up in frustration and fear. If the recipient knows the caller is deceased, he or she may enter a state of shock and hang up immediately. If the recipient does not know that the caller is dead, he or she may talk as long as a matter of minutes to hours . Usually such calls occur within twenty-for hours after the caller's death, although, some calls have been reported as long as several years or more from the time of the death.

Generally the purpose of such mysterious calls seems to be to leave a farewell message, or a warning of an impending danger, or information needed by the living. Actress Ida Lupino received a phone call from her father six months after his death; he told her the whereabouts of some papers to settle his estate. She was shaken by the call but what the ghostly voice told her was the truth.

Other calls have been made in apparent observance of holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. The caller may just speak a phrase such as "Hello, It's me?"

PLEASE GHOST HUNT RESPONSIBLY!

There is also a report that I researched from a woman in Louisiana that says she gets calls from Janis Joplin. She says she could be anywhere . at work or shopping center a grocery store or just out in public. Calls will come into he location a woman's voice will ask to speak to her. When she answers the phone she will hear Janis Joplin songs or the music being played. this strange phenomena has been witnessed by many investigators. " Sometimes a ghost will play a song that was their favorite or a song that has special meaning just to the person who gets the call.

Sorry I did not know I was dead!

Such phone calls have gone in the opposite direction too. The caller carries on a normal conversation with the recipient only to later discover the recipient was already deceased at the time when the call occurred. When questioned they talk is if it's just another daily conversation.

A woman in Marion, North Carolina tells of a conversation she had with a dear close friend recently. They talked to each other on the phone for over 30 years each day. The morning call was the same as usual. Tells psychic medium Reese Smith. "My client who I read for told me this story" "The phone rang at 8:AM as usual, My client spoke to her friend for an hour as usual." " the conversation was about the daily news and all that they usually gossip about." She hung up the phone and in minutes it rang again." It was the woman's Daughter calling her to tell her that her friend was found dead at 7:PM the night before." "She hung up the phone stunned and in shock." A second or two later the phone rang again. And it was the dead friend again. "She said I'm sorry I did not mean to scare you or bother you " "I forgot I was Dead." The call clicked dead and my client has not been the same since." Says Smith.

Although there is many times no satisfactory explanation for the strange calls from the dead, there have been several theories put forth. One holds that the dead do place the calls through supernatural manipulation of the telephone mechanisms and circuitry. Another holds that they are hallucinations caused in part by Psychokinesis (PK) accomplished subconsciously by the recipient. Other theories suggest that the calls are pure fantasy, or tricks played on the living by low-level spirits.(1)

Most modern parapsychologists do not take such calls seriously. In the early twentieth century, investigators modified the telegraph and wireless with the hopes of communicating with the dead. Thomas Edison, whose parents were Spiritualists, worked on but never completed a telephone that he hoped would connect the living with the dead. During the 1940s the "psychic telephone" experiments were conduct in England and America in attempts to reach the dead. Again, interest arose in the 1960s when Konstantin Raudive announced that he had captured voices of the dead in electromagnetic tape.(1)

There have been many theories put forward to explain this sort of 'phenomena.'

They are really calls coming from the otherside. And they are made by the deceased by manipulating the telephone, airwaves or electrical lines and phone lines as some sort of 'supernatural manipulation.' Their is even a old urban legend about a wind taking down a phone line and wrapping it around a tombstone and that person supposedly called all hi s friends and family until someone noticed at the cemetery what had happened.

Some think that this is an audible hallucinations caused in part by Psychokinesis (PK) accomplished subconsciously by the recipient. The Great American Necromancer Lisa Lee Harp Waugh has experimented with trying to get the dead to call her via cell phones and house phones with some surprising results. Waugh believes since ghosts are energy and phones work with such then it is possible for these ethereal beings to use it at their disposal. "Some ghosts have told me they can actually enter a phone and travel through the wires or air waves to make a ghost call to the living." Said Waugh in an interview recently. "Who are we to think so shallow that anything such as phone calls from the dead or not possible." Waugh also uses a Frank's Box to speak and contact the dead. Or she just sits alone in a mirrored room practicing Necromancy to call up ghosts to interview.

Frank's Box" is a controversial new tool within the paranormal field. Developed by a man named Frank Sumption, this box is also known as the "Telephone to the Dead," a device that can allegedly communicate with the other side. The box entered national mainstream when it was featured on an episode of "Paranormal State.

Electronic Voice Phenomenon

Otherwise known as E.V.P.

Written by: Todd M. Bates Founder of Haunted Voices

The mystery of Electronic Voice Phenomena has been around for many years. There are quite a few paranormal investigators out there that refuse to work with the phenomena due to its complications. I personally feel that it is very much worth the extra effort.

E.V.P. is a great communication tool for the other side and the phenomena itself can answer some of the questions that we have all asked ourselves over the years. Simply put, it just makes sense to experiment with E.V.P. during your investigations. It is not at all difficult to capture these voices from the other side. It also takes very little knowledge and equipment to do so. There are to many investigators out there who are (or feel) intimidated by this phenomenon. Many do not take the time to research or educate themselves or their group(s) on the subject. This is one reason why I choose to volunteer my time and services to anyone who wants to learn about this field. I will not go into that right now because this isn’t an article about ME but for YOU, the investigator, to perhaps learn from and use for your future investigations. I will try and touch on a brief history, some current theories about this topic, a few tips to help you on your way and still throw my own two cents in.

Thomas Edison was the first to look into electronic voice phenomena in the early 1920’s. After his mother had been sick for some time (and was on death’s door) he decided to try and find a way to communicate with her after she passed. Shortly after he started work his mother did pass on, leaving Thomas with a more urgent need to find a way to communicate with her. After the planning phase, he began construction on a device with his assistant Dr. Miller Hutchison, which was later to be called the TEC (Thomas Edison Communicator). Edison didn’t get to complete his work before his own death in 1931. But since that time it has been completed by others using his notes and is being experimented with today. This device is basically like a giant microphone for the dead. It seems to be able to pick out their voices from the air. Very little is known about how this device actually works. Such groups as the International Ghost Hunters Society have been able to use it though and claim to have good results. These may be available to the market soon but I am sure they will not come cheap. One could only hope that Mr. Edison is very proud that his invention was finally completed. Even though it is to bad that he wasn’t able to use it to communicate with his mother as he had intended.

Perhaps my favorite E.V.P. mentor was the now deceased Swedish film producer, Friedrich Juergenson. He captured the phenomena without even knowing it while trying to record bird songs. This was an accident that changed the paranormal arena forever. When Juergenson played the birds songs back he discovered that he had recorded voices from the other side. Phrases such as, “bird voices in the night” and even his own mother (who was then already deceased) contacted him by saying, “Friedrich, you are being watched”, “Friedel, my little Friedel. Can you hear me?” This of course amazed as well as relieved Juergenson. He then began a recording frenzy to try and get in touch with his mother and all other spirits. He died in 1964, but not before he had contacted and confirmed life after death. He was given the title posthumously of, “The Father of E.V.P.”

I am sure you are asking yourself, “Ok, so what is E.V.P.?” Well I really wish the answer were so simple and easy to explain. Of course, then it wouldn’t be called the “unknown”. Let me first tell you that there are quite a few theories on how the phenomenon actually occurs. Some believe that the spirit itself simply walks up to the microphone or recording device and “speaks” into it. I personally find this very hard to believe. How could a spirit that is made of pure energy (as far as we know) simply speak without vocal cords? The theory that I tend to go with is that the spirit somehow imprints its “magnetic image” onto the recording device. Now there are some that believe that a “residual” effect that takes place when some of the energy that is stored in the area of the known haunting is released. This is very possible and I feel that such objects like limestone can hold this kind of energy for long periods of time. I also think that if you are at the right place at the right time you may just capture some voices of the past. The Catacombs located in Paris, France are a great example of how this may occur. There are thousands of corpses located beneath the Paris streets and they are far from being at rest. This energy could very well be stored in the actual catacombs walls (made of limestone) themselves. Residual energy, by the way, is spirit energy that is constantly replaying itself over time and not an interactive ghost. Another popular theory is the spirit will speak to us using telepathy or use our own voice and resources to break the communication barrier from their world to ours. After you have experimented with electronic voice phenomena and gained more knowledge and experience with it, then perhaps you can come up with your own opinions on the matter. The key is to not be afraid or intimidated by them but to respect and learn from them.

Secondly, E.V.P. can be captured in a few different ways. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Numerous groups and investigators claim that their way is the best, or the only way, to capture E.V.P. I have found that this is completely incorrect though. If there were an “expert” in this field then we could all put our equipment away because it would no longer be considered the unknown. No one knows all of the answers and those that claim they do need to find another line of work, or take this one more seriously. You can use a standard cassette or digital recording device, but in my opinion, it is hard to compare with the ancient and bulky Reel-to-Reel recorder. This recorder is what started it all and it has its good and bad points. I don’t want to get too technical here, so if you would like to read more about the Reel-to-Reel recorder you can do a simple search for it on the Internet. When I go on investigations I choose to use both the cassette and digital recorder, as I feel they both back each other up. I will caution that you should be sure to use an external microphone with your cassette recorder though. Not to help hear the spirit better, but to reduce the possibility of wheel noise generated by the recorders internal parts. I personally do not use a microphone with my digital recorder because I feel that the internal mechanisms are not loud enough to disrupt the recording. You may feel differently and choose to use one if you wish. I have received numerous questions asking what kind of tapes I buy for my cassette recorder. Well the answer is, try them all. If you plan on or know how to use audio editing software then this really doesn’t matter. Some feel that the metal content in the tape helps and it is very possible that it may, but for those of us on a strict budget this could get quite costly. I have heard some outstanding E.V.P. captured on “Dollar Store” brand cassette tapes, so that was proof enough for me. Sure you have the background hiss with these tapes but this can be reduced and cleaned with software (if used).

In closing, if you use some common sense and some general knowledge of electronic voice phenomena then you should have no problem capturing your own E.V.P. I do hope this helps some of you out there and I cannot stress enough for all of you to give it a try. You just might be surprised at what you record.

GHOST MUSIC

How about that song that just stays in your head and you can't get rid of it. Haunting isn't it? A song is a relatively short musical composition for the human voice (commonly accompanied by other musical instruments), which generally (exceptions would be scat songs) features words (lyrics).

Many songs are written for many reasons some about all the things in the world. But many or about the real ghost and the things that haunt us. Often songs are written about lost love and friendships. And some songs take on a haunted or haunting story as time goes on. The Ghost Song, The Doors - Greatest Hits [Elektra], The Ghost Song is a song by The Doors, and was released on An American Prayer in 1978, 7 years after Jim Morrison's death in Paris, France. The song is Morrison's poetry recording with the rest of the band's music. Part of the song "indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding" refers to a childhood experience, where him and his family where driving down a desert highway and they pass 3 truckloads of indian workers. He says that, during that experience, the souls of the dead indian workers just leapt into his soul and stayed there until his death.
