Halloween Special - The Estes Method and the History of Spirit Voices

In Slaying Monster's first Halloween special, Matt and EJ tackle the Estes Method, the latest technology claimed to capture the voices of the dead. We dive into the history of EVPs, the Spiritbox and their inventors, and talk about the muddy science that surrounds ghost investigation. 
 
Then, we review the findings from our own Estes session. We put the newest technique through its paces, with blinded and double-blind trials.
 
The full trial sessions are available to our supporters. Check them out, or become a supporter here:
