Hey everyone. We're still finishing up analysis of our most recent investigation into a local house. We should be finishing up through this weekend into early next week. Stay tuned for details. Until then, please enjoy this moment of hilarity which happened during the investigation. We were using (read playing around with) an iPhone App that listens and detects a spirit's attempts to communicate via static interference, then interprets that into word form, audibly announcing it's findings. Now, you would think this seems unlikely to be real, but then again, we utilize digital audio recorders that also capture sounds, so the only difference is the word interpretation software built in. Even still, we were doubtful, until the unit began reading back some quite relevant and curious findings. Hours prior to the investigation, John and I were on Sullivan's Island, and asked for a name on two separate occasions, and it gave us a name both times, one of which being someone John knew (whom we had been talking about earlier), and the other being a female name (after we had asked it for a female name. Once we started the investigation, as I stated earlier, we were getting some strangely correlating responses, like black, cage, Africa, etc, which seemed possibly to infer a potential slave spirit. Also, at one point Brandie and I were watching the monitors and I noticed a huge orb on the living room cam, and said "ha, look at that huge orb." Two seconds later the application said "dust." Huge coincidence? Probably, but interesting for sure.
At any rate, we were using it upstairs and getting some seemingly relevant readings when it suddenly jumped ship and became silly. John is repeating what it said, and Jared and Barry are cracking up. Apparently ghosts like cake too!
