Note: This review pertains to a spirit box/instrumental trans-communication (ITC) session conducted on Sunday, April 15, 2018. If you are new to the field of ITC, then please scroll to the bottom of this review for an explanation. Sisterdale Cemetery is a small burial site consisting of approximately 100 graves, many of them belonging to Germans who settled the surrounding area. I'm not sure what compelled me to visit such a remote site, but I'm glad I did; I documented some of my best spirit communication evidence ever. Within a few minutes of activating my spirit box apps (Spiritus, Sweep, and Vocibus), I began receiving clear, relevant, undeniable responses to my questions. Within a span of ten minutes, I heard the names of several individuals, all of whom I was able to identify as occupants of the cemetery. What I mistook initially as "Abel" was likely one of several individuals bearing the last name Ebell. I also heard the name "Dave Whitworth" moments before discovering a grave belonging to David Glenn Whitworth. When I thanked Mr. Whitworth for responding, I added, "Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Ryan and I'm visiting from San Antonio." The reply, "Howdy!" was unmistakable and gave me a chuckle. I love to hear names come through my devices, but my goal is to capture insights from beyond the grave. Alas, this is a seldom occurrence, yet I managed to capture two mind blowing responses that afternoon. After hearing what I likely misunderstood as "bear," I happened upon a grave belonging to a Mr. and Mrs. Behr. I asked for a validation and received, "This...is...Emilie Behr...," which was the name on the tombstone. I asked Mrs. Behr, "What's life after death like?" and captured the following: "It's...peace...nothing to fear." The next example is one of my all-time favorites. I had just asked the spirits what they did to pass the time when I heard a perplexing response: "Been batting!" The reply made no sense until I glanced a few feet to my right. I then saw a tattered blue baseball bat resting at the base of a tombstone belonging to Gene Dunbar (1938-2016). I must emphasize that I heard the message *before* seeing the bat, therefore ruling out the psychological phenomenon known as audio pareidolia. The message was so clear that even my father (who's 75% deaf *and* somewhat skeptical) heard it. I didn't even plant the suggestion in his head; he looked at me quizzically and asked, "Did that thing of yours just say 'been batting'?" I plan to conduct a followup investigation at Sisterdale Cemetery in the near future. I've acquired several new ITC devices recently, so I hope to capture even more results. _______________________________________________________________ For those new to the field of "ghost hunting," a term I dislike due to its implications (I'm not "hunting" for ghosts), instrumental trans-communication (ITC) refers to the use of physical "spirit boxes" and apps to communicate with spirits. These devices facilitate communication by providing phonetic gibberish (random audio samples, white noise) that spirits can manipulate to form words and sentences. Spirits don't use their own voices; they use whatever audio source the operator provides. ITC is similar to electronic voice phenomena (EVP), but the latter refers to disembodied voices captured from thin air, which even the most seasoned paranormal researchers have difficulty obtaining. ITC typically yields more impressive results, as spirits seem to be more adroit at manipulating raw audio than they are at producing EVP. read more
