Unlocking Ghostly Voices, Part Two | Grave Talks CLASSIC
A ghostly screech that has haunted Nicole Tito and her team across 32 investigations over 14 years—recorded on eight different devices at diverse locations—defies explanation and may be a recurring paranormal signature. What’s more startling is that the phenomenon appears not just in audio but also on video, with digital artifacts like pixelation coinciding with the sound. Tito argues that the Estes Method, a structured EVP technique using spirit boxes and synchronized receivers, can produce verifiable, repeatable evidence—like a unified 'seven' spoken in unison by two investigators who couldn’t hear each other. She also reveals how remote investigations, conducted via live stream during the pandemic, yielded a chilling EVP of the word 'watch' spoken when no one was on camera. These moments challenge the notion that ghostly voices are random or imagined, suggesting instead a persistent, intelligent presence that responds to structured inquiry. Her new book, *Estes Method and EVPs: The Search for Ghostly Voices*, offers a framework for serious paranormal research—blending methodology, caution, and a healthy skepticism of confirmation bias.
The 'screech' phenomenon has been captured 32 times across 14 years on eight different devices, suggesting a consistent paranormal signature.
Using the Estes Method, two investigators simultaneously said 'seven' in unison while unable to hear each other—evidence of synchronized, non-physical communication.
Remote EVPs are possible: a word 'watch' was captured during a live-streamed investigation when no one was on camera, proving the voice wasn't human.
Audio and video artifacts (like pixelation) coincide with EVPs, suggesting a multi-modal paranormal presence.
Always send EVP clips to a team without context—preventing confirmation bias and revealing how perception shapes interpretation.

Introducing the Estes Method and EVP Research
Host Carol Hughes introduces Nicole Tito and the focus of the episode: her new book on the Estes Method and the science of capturing ghostly voices through structured EVP sessions.
Using Trigger Objects to Invite Spirits
Tito discusses using period-specific props like nurse uniforms, stethoscopes, and era-appropriate music to create energetic resonance with historical locations.
Evidence Review and Avoiding Bias
Tito details her process of tagging recordings in real time, reviewing them immediately, and sending clips to her team without context to prevent suggestion and confirmation bias.
The Power of Unison Responses
“We can remember we can't hear each other and we can't hear the questions, which is interesting because I'm going to play you guys back how you because you can hear two voices here and it's both of you guys going seven.”
Top Investigated Locations
Tito shares her top four haunted locations: Waverly Hills, Mansfield, Crown Point Jail, and the Edinburgh Boiler Room, each with compelling evidence.
“Are you able to communicate with Al and Lisa at the same time? It's today. Huh. Who's saying this watch? Watch. That is an EVP. Yeah, because it's creepy the way it says.”
“I took all the screens and put them together in this one big clip and it's available on the website too. It's interesting because especially if you're using different equipment, I could see maybe you're using the same thing and it's... corrupt or there's something wrong with your equipment, but there's different equipment, but you're still getting the same sound at different locations.”
“We can remember we can't hear each other and we can't hear the questions, which is interesting because I'm going to play you guys back how you because you can hear two voices here and it's both of you guys going seven.”
