I saw your vids on Youtube and found them very interesting. I’ve always been interested in this kind of work. Is is possible to observe during a investigation? I do want to learn how to do an investigation. This has always facinated me.

Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog, and for watching my videos on YouTube. In answer to your question about how to get spirit communication via a radio sweep …..

I recommend doing the following:

1. Give the spirits a “cue” that you are about to do a recording:

Let the spirits know that you plan on doing a sweep, and give them a specific date and time. You might even present a “cue” by playing a special song that will let them know you’re about to do a new recording. I play the song, “Change the World”, by Eric Clapton, but you can play whatever song you wish. Remember to let them know that the song is the “cue”. If you’re doing a recording during an investigation, take about 5 minutes prior to the investigation (maybe during the setup), and let the spirits know when you’re going to do it.

2. Let the spirits know what you’re going to do:

If you tell the spirits what you are attempting to do, they will figure out how to make it work. There are many investigators that believe those on the other side use equipment, too, to communicate with us. AAEVP is a group that strongly believes this. Whether or not this is true, I don’t know, but it is an interesting concept.

3. Be prepared:

Make a list of the questions you want to ask ahead of time. It is my experience that they like it when you come prepared. You will get a much better response if you do.

4. Be respectful:

I was warned that if I wasn’t respectful, they would stop communicating with me via the radio sweep. So respect is very, very important. Just imagine that you are talking with a close family member or friend.

5. Remember that the radio clips are used to create their responses:

The responses that I captured using the “shack hack” (as you call it), were actual words picked up during the sweep. I don’t really understand how the beings do it, but they somehow know how to bring up the volume on certain words and phrases to answer my questions, etc. Now, mind you, they don’t always come through, and their responses are not always easy to understand (I have done dozens of sweeps, and only about 5 or six are clear enough for me to keep).

6. Don’t get discouraged:

If you don’t get a clear enough response, don’t give up. Keep trying. AND, don’t toss your recording until you’ve had a chance to listen to it, carefully, with a headset using an audio editing program like Audacity. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought I got nothing, only to find some very clear, exciting responses when listening with my headset and audio software (a great example of this is the radio sweep EVPs presented in our “Elk Grove” investigation). If you have difficulty hearing the responses due to static, make a backup copy of your recording and use a “high pass filter” on your working copy. That will go a long way to clear it up well enough to hear what is being said. If you need more information on what this is, let me know and I’ll walk you through it.

Last but not least ….

7. Separate Carrier Wave:

According to Philip Imbrogno, a scientist that is currently studying this phenomenon, there is a separate carrier wave on top of the AM band that is coming through during the radio sweep (he measured this using a oscilloscope). Sometimes I get EVPs that appear to come through on this separate wave, but not very often. These EVPs tend to be pretty cryptic, and difficult to hear. If you get this type of EVP be prepared to do some intensive cleanup to be able to make out what is being said.

That’s it for now …. Please let me know if I did or didn’t answer your question, or if you need more help.

Take care,
