Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Mon Apr 28 2025
Description: Art Bell hosts Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society for an evening of electronic voice phenomena recordings captured at cemeteries, a haunted house, and the Laramie Territorial Prison in Wyoming. The five-member nonprofit group uses brand-new, never-recorded-on cassette tapes and five simultaneous recorders to document what they believe are voices of the dead.The EVP samples range from a child's voice saying "perfect circle" near an infrared scope to a woman named Hazel identifying herself inside a prison warden's house. One recording captures a child admitting "I did" after tugging a blanket from the investigators in a freezing cemetery. Cook reveals that the group now possesses a real-time recorder, built by electronics engineer Christopher Helms, that allows them to hear EVP responses through headphones just one second after recording.Art presses the investigators on what these voices reveal about the afterlife. Cook notes that spirits have described their surroundings as "cold" and "dark," and that approximately 60 to 70 percent of recorded voices appear directly responsive to the investigators' questions. The pair also discusses compass deflection and EMF spikes that sometimes correlate with EVP captures.
