We ran tests with ghost box recording back in 2008-2010. This is what we learned from our ghost box experiments.
A ghost box is a ghost and spirit communication tool. We worked with a few different ghost box set-ups and had very good success recording voices of unseen entities.
Ghost Box Experiments
Our test initially ran a few weeks, as we experimented with several ghost box set-ups. Eventually, we settled on a configuration (#3) that first worked for us but tried other ideas with limited success. We felt it good to return to the ghost box experiment that worked best for us, and immediately received relative messages, again. (After all this, later, we would prefer a more simple ghost box set-up: #1).
The findings from our first ghost box trials:
- While the ghost box does not make sense as to how or why it works, it does. It appears that the spirit voices are not necessarily audio manipulation by the spirits themselves, but messages riding on the audio and white noise being used as a carrier. We found if we worked consistently at making contact with spirits daily, and at a specific time to set expectations for not only us, but by spirits, we made better and better contact. This required a commitment by both sides of the grave (humans and spirits) to want to make contact with each other. It required only patience and consistency.
- The set-up need not be elaborate, but simply experimented with consistently. We recorded messages from every set-up we tried. There seemed to be time needed with each set-up to allow the contact from spirits to become better and better.
- The intent, or perhaps spirituality of the ghost box operator seemed to dictate what was received as communication. As an example, we would not recommend someone with fear to experiment with the ghost box as they will definitely receive fearful things. Think of it as a mirror, and like attracting like. We believe that spirits, not ghosts for the most part, made contact with us. That's not to say ghosts did not try to jump into the conversation, but they were not dominating it. The messages we received were enlightening, and of importance. Some ghost box users are receiving lower level communication from ghosts, and it could be indicative of their location, desires or intentions of who they wish to make contact with. It is our opinion that both ghosts and spirits can come through the device, and that communication with spirits is best, as they can bring ghosts forward when requested to do so. We believe the reason for this would be to assist the ghost in bringing their message forth and releasing them to move forward in their spiritual journey and heading unto the light, life and peace. (After writing this, we would later record many ghost voices - some even cursing at us!)
What We Used and How We Analyzed the Audio
We worked with two sweeping 12-470 radios on the AM band, volume all the way up, and plugged them into a mixer. The mixer volume was set at 4, and then outputted to a recorder. In the output line to the recorder, we also installed an amplified microphone to pick up the ghost box operator's voice asking questions, and headphones to listen to all the audio as it was being recorded. After each session, the audio was uploaded to a computer, normalized at 60db and never cut. We only trimmed out of the original audio any discernable responses to our questions.
Audio Recordings From Our Ghost Box Experiments
These tests were from our initial experiments. We were not certain if the ghost box worked but saved some of the more compelling messages we possibly recorded. We recommend using a pair of headphones to hear the audio better.

A Game Changer Spirit Message
The following is an amazing recording we made during our initial tests that caused us to believe that ghost box could bring forth messages. It was made piping two different sweeping radios into a mixer and recording the audio. Therefore, there was no way the message was a radio broadcast - it is clearly a woman's voice heard over top of the audio and white noise and appears to be similar to EVP:
The Earth...they need...our word
