ELECTRONIC PHENOMENA GETS GROWING VOICE

Instrumental Transcommunication EVP and ITC -- it's a mouthful, but it's also a rapidly growing side of Spirit communication that appears to be overshadowing conventional mediumship. Why? Because it makes Spirit Communication relatively easy with electronics, although the discipline is still very necessary.

This month we heard from Parapsychic Journal subscriber Maryse Locke, who together with her husband John Locke, lives in a suburb south of Paris, France. Nothing unusual about that, except that Maryse and John operate www.Transcommunication.org, an expansive and informative website devoted to Electronic Voice Phenomena and Instrumental Transcommunication.

In the auto-sales vernacular, this website is "loaded" with everything you might wish to know in metaphysics, Spiritualism and electronic recording devices - and more important, how to do it. For a relatively new website they are drawing over 3,500 "hits" a month, and this is expected to soar as the Lockes take to the road with public workshops teaching people "How to do Transcommunication Images Research yourself."

They held a Paris workshop earlier this month, and on November 6th plan to be at the Spiritualist Church of Harrogate, Yorkshire in the UK. A week later they will be in Carlisle. Starting March 19th 2005 they will be in South Wales for about two weeks, conducting ITC workshops in different Spiritualist Churches or mediumship schools, a place, incidentally, where they seem to record excellent video images of spirits, mainly, says Maryse because in the middle of a forest there is little electronic pollution from mobile phones, television stations, electricity pylons, etc.

The website is also bilingual - English and French, It also has a very useful index of terms. What do other people in other countries call ITC. Here it is: "Instrumental Transcommunication : Transcommunication Instrumentale, Transcomunicaçao, Transcommunicacion, Transkommunikation, Stemmen Instrumentale Transcommunicatie, Transkontakt, Tonbanstimmen, Bandstemmen, Tape Voices, Electronic Voice Phenomena, Psicofonia, Psychophon, Psychofoon, EVP, ITC, TCI, Parastimme." The Lockes can be contacted through the website www.Transcommunication.org.
