Since that time, other researchers such as Mike Coletta have figured out how to alter the older version 12-470 AM/FM radio, too.  Mike has posted many of his videos on YouTube to help others make their own ghost boxes.  What has been great is the fact that so many have made their discoveries and research public, such as Frank Sumption, Joe Cioppi, Bruce Halliday, Steve Hultay, Sum Duc, Mike Coletta, and more.  Links to their websites are at the end of this article as a big thank you.

The ghost box can be used for EVP, as it can be recorded, then analyzed for messages from spirits and ghosts.  However, what makes the ghost box unique is that it can be heard audibly through either an external speaker or headset, where responses from the other side can be heard and responded to live – not unlike chatting with someone by walkie-talkie.  It does require the user to train his or her ear to hear the messages that are brought forth, as the noise and audio bits can at times be somewhat distracting.  But if one experiments long enough with a ghost box, it will become apparent that the audio sound bites and white noise will begin to be manipulated to form answers to questions, phrases and more.  For this reason alone, we recommend recording all sessions and listening to them later.  Upon playback, one might be amazed at what is captured in the audio.

The function of the ghost box and how it works seems to be affected by the strength of radio signals in an area.  Poor signal quality reduces the ability for spirits and ghosts to make contact through the device.  Perhaps there is not enough audio bits to be manipulated successfully for real-time communication.  That would indicate that enhancing the antenna on these devices could improve results by the researcher, according to Bruce Halliday.

The biggest debate over the ghost box might be just who in the heck is coming through these devices?  Are they spirits?  Ghosts?  Demons (the religious ask)?  Aliens?  Our own projected thoughts?  The research continues in this area, but many believe both ghosts, spirits and beings from another realm are making contact through the ghost box.  Experimenters have received positive, good messages, as well as negative and cursing messages.  This would indicate that perhaps the range of messengers who are able to manipulate this device into audible words is broad.  Some believe that there are spirits from the light called “controls” or “operators” who work to establish contact and can bring other spirits and ghosts forward through the ghost box.  Some of these same operators have been recorded coming through different ghost boxes by different people in different geographical locations.  This would lead one to think that operators are involved from the other side in order to try and organize a grid of control and functionality.  Whatever the case may hold to be true, it does appear that one’s connection with the other side seems to influence how good and what type of results will be experienced through the ghost box.  It just may be that those who are recording the best results might be psychic in nature, truly connected with the spirit realm prior to the existence of any ghost box.

Angels & Ghosts will work in 2008 to run experiments with different ghost box configurations for utilizing and recording the altered Radio Shack ghost box.  Thank you to all who have freely shared their work and ideas with the world.
