Exploring the Estes Method

How did we get from spirit horns to spirit boxes? We’re exploring a brief history of Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC), starting with American Spiritualism, moving through the magnetic tape era, and landing on the Estes Method. Conceived at the Stanley Hotel in 2016 by Connor J. Randall, Karl Pfeiffer, and Michelle Tate, it’s a fascinating paranormal experiment and investigation tool. We’ll discuss how to use it and why we love it, while keeping a grounded perspective. Do you use the Estes Method in your own investigations?  Do you use similar or modified versions? Let us know!
