The Estes Method is really having a moment in the ghost hunting world. It’s a mix of spirit box and sensory deprivation. The group all huddle round a table, to conduct the seance; while one person becomes a tool in the seance. This person is blindfolded and has earplugs in which play a spirit box directly into their ears. They then have noise cancelling headphones on, so they can’t hear the seance. Their role is to say aloud anything they hear through the spirit box. As the seance unfolds, questions are asked. The answers may come from the person who is listening to the spirit box, though they can’t hear the questions. A separate audible spirit box may be heard by the group, or other tools such as dowsing rods, pendulums, REM, SLS, or other apps may be in use.
This is a fascinating, chilling and highly experiential tool, and definitely worth seeing firsthand. You can try it at any of our authentic paranormal explorations, or events in your region with other teams.
