A Solo Ouija Session: “Be Good Tim,” Ovilus Words and Recorder Audio

By Tim Wood · Original recording: 2017-07-02

Inside this investigation

This solo session belongs to a different investigation from the three-night Oklahoma City visit. I work through board letters interpreted as “BE GOOD TIM,” “A FRIEND” and “PARADISE NOW,” then compare the experience with recorder audio and Ovilus output. Those devices produce different kinds of material. A word on a display and a phrase heard during playback should not be treated as the same observation simply because they seem connected.

When reviewing the board, follow the letter order and spoken questions as well as the eventual phrase. A name or message in the notes records the interpretation made during the investigation. It does not independently identify a communicator. Comparing the movement with the suggested wording is part of reviewing the experiment.

For a sudden sound, compare the lead-up with the team’s response and any ordinary activity nearby. A noise may be easy to locate in a recording but difficult to identify. Describing its timing, character and possible source is more useful than assigning it an identity because of the question being asked.
