·1 hr 19 min·5 clips

Paranormal investigator Nicole Tito reveals how the Estes Method uses sensory deprivation to capture ghostly voices in real time.

The episode begins with hosts Adam and Matt introducing the show and promoting their Patreon and listener stories for Christmas. They then welcome guest Nicole Tito, a paranormal investigator and author with over 20 years of experience. Nicole explains her background growing up in Chicago near haunted sites like Resurrection Mary and Bachelor's Grove. She details her focus on audio evidence, particularly EVPs and the Estes Method, which involves sensory deprivation with a receiver wearing headphones to hear spirit box responses without knowing the questions. Nicole discusses the importance of authenticity in investigations, noting that sometimes sessions yield no evidence. She shares clips from investigations, including Estes Method sessions at the Monroe House where receivers gave coordinated responses like 'seven seven' to cell block queries. Another clip features footsteps recorded while the team slept. Nicole describes remote Estes sessions during COVID, where an EVP saying 'watch' was captured in her non-haunted home. She also talks about negative experiences, such as being sworn at or touched at locations like Mineral Springs Hotel. The conversation covers the 'screech' phenomenon, a sound Nicole has recorded 32 times across various locations and equipment, which remains unexplained. Nicole mentions other evidence like shadow person photos and SLS camera captures. The episode concludes with Nicole promoting her book and website, ghostly-voices.com, where she shares evidence and offers autographed copies.
