Thomas Edison COMMUNICATED WITH THE DEAD with a machine that built the same
*
Thomas Edison, the famous inventor of the light bulb, the gramophone and other devices, invented a machine that allowed the dead to communicate with the living. He is quoted in the 1920 edition of The American Magazine saying: "I have been working for some time in the construction of a device to see if it is possible that personalities who have left this Earth to communicate with us."
It is also cited by Scientific American in the same year: "I have been thinking for some time about a machine or device that could be operated by personalities that have passed into another existence or sphere."
Although prototypes or diagrams were never found, some say that Edison imparted his design to a group of researchers after his death. In the 1990s and for five years, the so-called Scole Experiment supposedly produced many outstanding results in terms of mediation and communication after life - including a message from the late Edison describing the design of his machine.
Dr. David Fontana, former president of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and professor of psychology at Cardiff University, was present during the sessions in Scole, a small town in Norfolk, England. He said he was among the many investigators who witnessed paranormal manifestations; engineers, mathematicians, and astrophysicists from NASA, and other experts also attended, he said. They heard voices, felt invisible hands touching them, saw lights, and more.
"It's like a bunch of clubs. You can break a stick, but if you put a bunch together, it becomes more and more difficult to break it, "Fontana said in the documentary:" This Live, Next Live ". Many forms of manifestations appeared all at once, repeating themselves in time, and the rooms where the experiments took place were inspected before and after to look for signs of fraud. Fontana explained that the SPR has challenged magicians, illusionists and anyone else to duplicate the multiple signs of presence of spirits that were witnessed during the Scole Experiment. Nobody accepted the challenge.
During the experiment unused film rolls were stored in a sealed box. When the film was developed by researchers, they found images supposedly recorded by spirits. This is how Edison supposedly proposed his design. A sketch of a machine, along with some instructions, was recorded in the film. When the machine was built the first time it did not work. But, after the first failure, another communication was made by adding two coils to the design. This second communication was signed with the initials TAE. The signature of Thomas Alva Edison agreed with the initials in the alleged spiritual communication, according to the Edison Foundation
The signature of the film had been sent to the foundation without any explanation of its origin. The foundation confirmed that it coincided with the signature of Edison, as explained by the presenter of the documentary Keith Parsons.
With the new design, the members of the SPR who built the machine said they received a message when they plugged it into an amplifier in January 1997. "We hope that in the future this system will allow us to communicate with distant dimensions. Many people here feel like me, that this work is of the utmost importance to humanity, and therefore they are willing to put their hearts in these experiments. "
Since then, others have built machines according to this design and have also reported receiving messages. Some who have tried it at home have shared their audio files, photos and slight changes in design in the ITCBridge.com forum, a forum for researchers and others interested in Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC).
An experimenter said in the ITC Bridge forum that his "homemade" machine was a success: "I received the words" Hey Mark "from a woman who looked American." Another said he heard "Welcome" and "demonic play".
