Breakthrough: An amazing experiment in electronic communication with the dead

by Konstantin Raudive

Translated by Nadia Fowler, edited by Joyce Morton, with a Preface by Peter Bander. This book is the documented result of six years’ arduous research into an astounding scientific phenomenon, accidentally discovered in Sweden by Friedrich Jürgenson in 1957. In some way, and for reasons not yet fully understood, voices of dead persons linked by affection or interest with the experimenter appear during playbacks of tape recordings on which no such voices were audible at the time of the original recording. These voices always state their names and may be identified as male or female, but all speak very much faster than is normal and employ a curious speech rhythm. In the course of his research, Dr Raudive was joined by eminent scientists, physicists, psychologists, and theologians, many of whom were university professors. Before undertaking the publication of this English-language edition, the publishers have requested other respected scientists and scholars to verify procedures and findings related in Dr Raudive’s book. The discovery of this phenomenon – later called the Electronic Voice Phenomenon – is a breakthrough of unquestionable importance.

[Jukka Häkkinen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Latvialainen psykologi Konstantin Raudive innostui ruotsalaisen Friedrich Jürgensonin keksimästä menetelmästä kuunnella aaveiden ääniä nauhoilla olevasta kohinasta ja raportoi tässä kirjassaan laajoja kokeita, joita hän teki 1960-luvulla. Kirjassa on jonkin verran sekavahkoa teoretisointia ilmiön taustoista, mutta suurin osa kirjasta on kohinasta löydettyjen viestien kuvauksia. Viestejä on tullut moninaisilta hahmoilta aina Raudiven äidistä Adolf Hitleriin. Viestit ovat lyhyitä ja usein absurdeja, joten niitä ei jaksa kovin tarkasti lukea ainakaan useita satoja sivuja. Kirja on todella uuvuttava luettava, mutta samalla kiinnostava historiallinen kuriositeetti menetelmästä, joka on nykyisten kummitusten metsästäjien ghostbox-laitteen taustalla.

[Harry Whitewolf · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fantastic book dealing with the phenomenon of recording voices 'from beyond' on audio tape. Raudive is the authority on this subject, having conducted numerous scientific experiments. Whatever you believe with regards to 'the voices', this is a compelling book that will most definitely get you thinking. This book most definitely needs to be back in print!
