Definition
Spirit box or Ghost box is a paranormal research device. It uses a radio with a frequency scan mode meant to detect EVPs and communicate with spirits.
What Is A Spirit Box
A spirit box is a device that rapidly sweeps the frequency channels of radio stations creating a white noise effect. This is said to allow spirits to use the energy to manipulate it to form words and phrases. Clear sounds, that sometimes are heard as intelligent responses, can be caught while the device scans a multitude of radio stations. It is thought, the faster the sweep, the clearer the information.
the Creator
"Frank's Box" or the "Ghost Box", was created in 2002 by Frank Sumption. Sumption made a total of 180 devices which he numbered. Today there are only 97 in existence. He claimed he received his design instructions from the spirit world whom also informed him he was a “Purple Princes” from a planet called Pleiades. He then gave the devices to people he said the spirits instructed him to. They were given free of charge to these paranormal researchers. (Pictured is Frank’s Box 106)
How To Use a Spirit Box
Practical use includes investigators clearly asking one question at a time, and waiting for responses over a few scan sweeps. There will be radio pick-up, but ultimately you are waiting for meaningful responses. It is important to record your sessions so you can later review it using a filter software such as Audacity. You can find a link to the software in our E.V.P Blog.
Staying up late is no problem with our Specter coffee. It won’t give you any medium like abilities but it will help you stay alert when prowling the night for paranormal activity.
