What is a Spirit Box?
A spirit box, also known as a ghost box or a Frank's box, is a device that some people use to communicate with what they believe to be spirits. This device is widely used in the field of paranormal research and by individuals who are interested in communicating with the spirit world.
The basic concept of a spirit box is that it rapidly scans through different radio frequencies. As it scans, it generates white noise, or a hiss-like sound, which is a combination of all different frequencies of sound. The idea is that spirits can manipulate or use this white noise to form words or sentences, which can then be heard by the user.
To elaborate a bit more, the spirit box is designed to capture EVPs, or Electronic Voice Phenomena. An EVP is believed to be a voice or sound that is not heard at the time of recording, but can be heard upon playback of the recording. These sounds are thought by some to be communication from spirits or other entities.
Paranormal Catalog’s Spirit Boxes
Our spirit boxes are a little bit different to your typical radio based spirit box. Our spirit boxes select words and phrases from a digital library of thousands of words. We believe that spirits may be able to interfere with the selection of the words somehow in order to communicate with us.
Results can be a bit hit and miss, but we do often get strings of words that just seem too intelligent to be a coincidence. Give it a go for yourself in your ghost hunting adventures and let us know how you get on!
History of the Spirit Box
The concept of attempting to communicate with the spirit world using electronic devices dates back to the early 20th century. These early attempts, known as Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), were often conducted using tape recorders or radios.
However, the specific device known as a "spirit box" or "ghost box" was invented in 2002 by a man named Frank Sumption for the purpose of real-time communication with spirits. This is why the device is sometimes referred to as "Frank's Box."
Frank Sumption claimed he received the design specifications for the box from the spirit world itself. His initial device was a modified AM/FM radio that continuously scans through all the stations, creating a mix of white noise, radio snippets, and static. He claimed that this noise provided spirits with the raw audio they needed to create their own audible words and phrases.
Over the years, the design of the spirit box has evolved, with different models scanning at various speeds, and some offering other features like temperature sensors and EMF (Electromagnetic Field) detectors. These additional features are used in an attempt to detect other potential signs of paranormal activity.
