Aka :instrumental transcommunication (ITC)

Description : ITC traces its roots to 1901, when a U.S. scientist made a recording of "conjured spirits" while visiting a shaman in Siberia. Communication typically occurs on Windows machines, and has come in the form of simple text messages, Microsoft Word document files and a wide variety of digital image formats, including ".tif," ".jpg" and ".gif." With the popularity of the Web and e-mail, one might think that the spirits would use the Internet as a communication medium but specialists pretend the Internet includes too many "troubled thoughtforms" that disrupt the harmony necessary for ITC contacts to occur.

One form of computer-aided ITC involves spirit teams working closely with a living researcher who has "certain psychic qualities." When successful, spirits are able to turn computers on and leave messages, even planting files on hard drives or floppy discs.

A second form uses the computer as an audio recorder. With background noise, such as a radio tuned between stations, a researcher records himself asking seven or eight questions spaced 30 seconds apart. The recording is then reviewed to see if it picked up spirit voices.

Records : 1000+

Purpose: ITC believers say contacts are possible because teams of spirits are committed to opening channels of communication between both worlds. Such teams, they say, require harmony and cooperation among their living contacts for successful ITC to occur.
