Transcommunication Society UK (nothing to do with the EVP & Transcommunication Society, mentioned above) has, I believe, folded, but Tony Broad (19 Oxford Road, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14 2ED) and Jonathan Marten (36 Hamble Court, Southampton Street, Reading, Berkshire RG1 2QT) are still working in the field, and the latter is the UK contact for Jules and Maggy Harsch-Fischbach, founders of CETL.

NOTE: The term Electronic Voice Phenomenon was coined by us soon after the publication of Breakthrough to counteract the popular and erroneous title ‘Raudive Voices’ which we too had originally used. However, as the Voices had not been discovered by Dr Raudive, we decided to give the Phenomenon a less personal name. A number of articles on the EVP were published in the mid 1970s in our monthly, The Psychic Researcher.

The film White Noise (2005) uses a storyline based on the EVP which starts promisingly, but then goes off into realms of Hollywood dreams.

From Konstantinos’ article in the February 2001 issue of Fate. As Thomas Edison put it, when working on his own device for contacting the dead: ‘I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected, or moved, or manipulated by our personality as it survives in the next life, such an instrument, when made available, ought to record something’ (Scientific American, 30 October 1920.) Although he died before finishing his ‘instrument,’ Edison’s dream was realized in the latter half of the twentieth century.
