for any paranormal investigation you're going to need a set of indispensable tools among them are a camera a video camera a white noise generator a random random word generator a thermal imager and @na a digital tape recorder today I'll be using the spirit story box app developed by Roger and Jill Pingleton it's a random name generator that gets triggered by electromagnetic frequencies the theory is that the spirits are able to manipulate it and deliver a word that is relevant to your situation we named it spirit story box in honor of other spirit boxes that had come before and we do still consider it a very basic ghost hunting tool it's portable it's easy it's it's very simple and that's why we did it is anybody can be a ghost hunter anybody can put an app on their phone I think it's a great conversation starter so it comes up with a word and okay so start asking questions about that word good evening I am of course Professor Mortimer noted academic on all things supernatural and we're of course here in Washington Square Park at Washington Square Park was formerly a potter's field estimates say that up to about twenty thousand bodies still remain under our feet at the moment so if there's any place we're gonna find a little bit of supernatural activity here in New York City this would be a prime spot among them you can see that this was actually working quite well it's picking up the lights that are hot and something actually looks hot in this foreground here and clearly there's nothing there the city is littered with spirits and you'd be surprised how often that you're right next to one another extremely important and indispensable to love paranormal investigation is just the camera for instance we just took a picture a few seconds ago and if you look into the picture you can see the outline of a face it's an incredible piece of evidence now there we didn't see this with our eyes but clearly the camera is picking up things that the human eye cannot when we talk about ghosts and spirits I think what we're actually talking about is human consciousness just surviving the physical body we believe that if a spirit a human consciousness that survives death can manipulate a random number generator then at the time they want it to choose a word they can manipulate it so it will choose a word it'll become non-random at the point when the word comes up the activity starting to pick up on the spirit story box and we just picked up by actually three words throughout shack friend a friend diagnosis in villages can you tell me how some of that might apply to Odd Thomas me I can definitely tell you how a friend diagnosis and dilligent would relate back to him he after he came back from France helping with the French Revolution he actually grew very unpopular here in America he wasn't happy with the Constitution didn't allow women to vote so love for slavery all that kind of stuff and so he was trying to tell people hey you're living your lives wrong and he was very very diligent about this so diligent that he grew very unpopular here in America and and he died in 1809 was buried actually buried back upstate but his body didn't stay there pieces of Thomas Paine's skeleton continued to be kept as souvenirs around the world it said his spirit continues to hang out here continuing to talk people say they've heard him talk trying to continue to convince us to make this world a better place we get stories from people every day that have had amazing experiences that part and parcel of that is that you have to be open you have to be aware that maybe you're getting a message that you don't understand people will turn it on run it for five minutes say this this doesn't work we just ask people you know go to someplace where there might be some spirits you know have an open mind let it run just see what happens see if you can make sense out of what it is telling you and you know maybe telling you something that you know isn't part of your experience but as part of a spirit or or another humans experience you
