FAQ Frequently Asked Questions History of Transcommunication Question: Was Thomas Edison a Pioneer of EVP and ITC?
Answer: We do not consider Edison a pioneer of EVP. Someone on the Internet said he was responsible for the first EVP device and everyone is parroting him. In fact, we have not found any evidence that he has done anything more than speculate about the possibility of communicating across the veil in his old age. There is a distant possibility that he had included some speculation about what a device might look like in his later day philosophical musing. The people running his foundation denied having any such document. People have tried to build a device based on rumored design but it reportedly did not work.
He has reportedly come through the Scole Group to suggest a device, but to my knowledge, it has not worked for others, either. Recently, we have been contacted by a person whose great grandfather was "contacted" by the etheric Edison and subsequently built a spirit phone, I think it will be tested by Alexander MacRae early next years. He has a grant that includes the job of building and testing the Scole Device.
The bottom line is that we think it is vogue to associate famous people with a person's special interest. Look at how many people claim that Einstein was involved in their work, here or hereafter.
Question: Did Sarah Estep invent the Class A. B and C classification system?
Answer: We originally understood Sarah to say that she "invented" the system when we read her book, Voices of Eternity where she wrote:
It has been recently pointed out to us by a friend in the UK that Konstantin Raudive wrote about the Class system in his book, Breakthrough, which we attribute as the book that brought EVP to the English-speaking world. You can read portions of the book here. Raudive wrote:
Class "A" voices can be heard and identified by anyone with normal hearing and knowledge of the language spoken; no special training of the ear is needed to detect them. There are several hundred microphone-voices amongst my recordings that fall into this group. It is easy to make tape copies of "A" voices, and they can be repeated as often as desired. Thus, I have analysed roughly 25,000 voices according to speech content, language and rhythm. By this method of repetition, the acoustic reality of the voices can be established beyond doubt, and hallucinations of the ear are excluded. Class "B" voices speak more rapidly and more softly, but are still quite plainly audible to a trained and attentive ear. The ability to differentiate increases with practice, but this is a slow and wearisome process. For this reason it is difficult to use non-regular participants for experimental purposes with class "B" voices. Class "C" consists of the most interesting voices; voices that give us a great deal of information and much paranormal data. Unfortunately, these can be heard only in fragments, even by a trained ear, but with improved technical aids, it may eventually become possible to hear and demonstrate these voices, which lie beyond our range of hearing, without trouble. This grading and my comments are but a rough guide in the present stage of our approach to the psycho-acoustic aspect of the investigation. We do not know if that was the first use of the A, B and C classification system but we know that Sarah was at least the second person to use it and it has become a very popular system.
