Night 1: Meter Spikes, Phone Checks and the First Recordings

By Tim Wood · Original recording: 2021-06-06

Inside this investigation

The opening night includes a practical check of whether my phone may affect a meter reading. I also listen to a recording I associate with the ZoZo name and encounter a ghost-box battery problem near the end. I want these ordinary equipment considerations retained alongside the more unusual interpretations. They help show how the investigation proceeds, rather than presenting only the moments that support a particular story.

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 the recorder passages, I recommend listening before reading the words suggested in the notes. Compare the volume, nearby speech and surrounding room noise, and say whether you hear a voice at all. A proposed phrase is an interpretation of the recording, not a substitute for the audio.
