| Spiricom is considered by many to be the best ITC (Instrumental Trans-Communication) evidence proving that personality and memory survive death, by way of real-time EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). If there are to be best-evidence standards of EVP, ITC and paranormal studies in general, standards must be proposed, agreed upon, adhered to, then evidence that has been gathered through a transparent and rigorous process must be corroborated, replicated, an attempt made to falsify the findings, and finally all data must be peer-reviewed. The first case study to have such rigorous standards brought to bear upon it ought to be the case study with claims of best-evidence. The Spiricom case is that data-set. But first, a case-in-point of paranormal research that most nearly adhered to the best-evidence standards proposed, and a discussion of those standards (Dr. Rorke on G.Talk).

| 'I can't breathe!' This is, without a doubt, the oddest recording we have ever heard. Everything you will hear, from the kid, to the water was not heard at the time of the recording and there was no water or kids in the building. The building hasn't had running water for almost 20 years. (Rough Translation) (Kid) Help me, can't breathe, I couldn't breathe? (Deep mans voice) Murder (kid) I can't breathe (very low mans voice) I couldn't breathe (Kids voice continues, not sure what is being said) (woman's voice) I couldn't breathe (just after this you will hear water thrashing around for about 15-20 seconds followed by a big thud And then silence again. This was recorded in an empty room, so nothing should have recorded. The voices have been broken down and looped at the end of the track |
