3.9 | Phone Calls from the Dead and Pioneers of Spirit Tech
A startling ring in the middle of the night. The strange and distant voice on the line seems familiar, someone you’ve known, yet someone whose left this world behind. It’s a call that shouldn’t be possible- a transdimensional connection that defies our current understanding.. until now. Join us in the Hole as we peel back the pages of forgotten, ground breaking research to uncover the true stories of Phone Calls from the Dead and the innovators of both past and present whose mission of patching us through to the other side is becoming a potential reality.
Beginning with such pioneers of Spirit Technology as Captain Craufurd (the Wireless Man) and Logie Baird (the Black Magic Man) we break down not only their revolutionary contribution to terrestrial telecommunication, but their fascination and innovation in the realm of Instrumental Transcommunication.
Then, through the work of the renowned Parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo and his intrepid contemporaries, we investigate the longest of long-distance calls and discover the patterns in which these disembodied dial-ups seem to manifest, and what they might indicate for mankind.
Finally, we discuss the mind-bending announcement that a group known as the SpiritPhone Foundation is claiming a sort of Afterlife Disclosure via a break through in modern tech, allowing contact with the dead.. And yes, you too can have your very own Spirit Keyboard to commune with the other side whenever you might feel brave enough to shoot a text out into the void!.. gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘ghosting’, doesn’t it?

Geez. Some of those books are pricey 😳😳😳
Yeah they are! I’d love to get my hands on a copy to be able to share some of the information and relay the stories. But it might be a while before the hole could start throwing money at books like these.
This was a killer episode boys. Full of meaty chunks. Jon’s ADHD is funny!
Glad yo dug it, Ben!
Great episode! Can’t wait to find out more about this soulphone thing; but it makes me wonder how much of this kind of thing (communicating with the “other side”) is actually the medium’s natural abilities coming through, without the medium even realizing it? I’m just so skeptical that anyone has the ability to actually communicate with “souls” on the other side.
Glad you dug it, Morgan! I totally feel you on that question. How can we know for sure who or what is being communicated with, and as you point out, what about the potential for the medium’s intention to affect the readings? All good questions. Interestingly, the SoulPhone project does try to mitigate this concern in their testing. I’m not sure if you heard the expansion episode, but we discuss in there how they actually performed the test with the ‘spirit’ while no one was even in the lab. I believe they used a recording, which was played back at a specific time, rather than having a human medium present, in order to remove the possibility of human presence or intention affecting the sensor. Whether they actually accomplished communication with souls/spirits on the other side, or some other side, is hard to say, but I thought it was interesting how much specific effort was put forth in trying to measure and prove the phenomena using methods like this.
