The Basement Session: A Resident’s ZoZo Account and Recorder Review

By Tim Wood · Original recording: 2017-05-05

Inside this investigation

I investigate a home where residents connect earlier board use with the name ZoZo, then work alone in the basement with a recorder and board. A possible repeated name and letters interpreted as “JAKE” become points of discussion. The residents’ account is the reason for the investigation; it is not independent confirmation of the sounds and movements in this recording.

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.
