Burning a Previously Used Board: Recorder Audio and the Remains

By Tim Wood · Original recording: 2017-06-18

Inside this investigation

I keep an EVP recorder running around an attempt to burn a board used in earlier investigations. The account describes difficulty igniting it, heavy smoke and a cross-like pattern in the remains. I want the observable process separated from stories about what burning such an object is supposed to do. A recognizable pattern in burned material is an interpretation that still needs ordinary physical context.

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.
