1964 Jurgensen after 5 years of research publishes his findings in his book Roesterna Fraen Rymden (Voices from the Universe). Attliz Von Szalay gets voices of his deceased relatives on tape for the first time.
1965 Dr. Konstantin Raudive, a Latvian psychologist and philosopher, visited Juergenson, concluded that the phenomenon was genuine, and started his own experiments in Bad Krozingen, Germany.
1967 Thomas Edison spoke through West German clairvoyant Sigrun Seuterman, in trance, about his earlier efforts in 1928 to develop equipment for recording voices from the beyond. Edison also made suggestions as to how to modify TV sets and tune them to 740 megahertz to get paranormal effects. (Session recorded on tape by Paul Affolter, Liestal, Switzerland). Franz Seidi, Vienna, developed the "sychophone". Theodore Rudolph developed a goniometer for Raudive's experiments.
1968 Father Leo Schmid, Oeschgen, Switzerland, was assigned a small parish to give him time to experiment with taping voices. His book, Wen Die Toten Reden (When the Dead Speak) was published in 1976, shortly after his death. Raudive published his book Unhoerbares Wird Hoerbar (The Inaudible Becomes Audible), based on 72,000 voices he recorded.

1970 Scott Rogo and Raymond Bayless publish 'Phone Calls From The Dead'. Raymond Cass begins experimenting.
1971 Colin Smythe, Ltd. England, published explained English translations of Raudive's book: Breakthrough, an Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead. Marcello Bacci and co-workers in Grosseto, Italy, made weekly contact with 'spirit' communicators, which still continued in 1988. William Adams Welch publishes his findings 'Talks With The Dead'. Paul Jones, George W Meek and Hans Heckman, Americans, opened a laboratory. First serious research to create a two-way voice communication system far more sophisticated than the equipment used in EVP approach.
1972 Gilbert Bonner, a dedicated researcher who amassed a huge collection of voices during his lifetime, begins experimenting. Peter Bander, England, wrote Carry on Talking, published in US as Voices From the Tapes
1973 Josephand Michael Lamoreaux, Washington State, had success with recording paranormal voices after reading Raudive's book.
1975 Formation of V.T.F German research group. William Addams Welch, Hollywood script writer and playwright, authored Talks With the Dead.

1978 William O'Neil working for George Meek, using a modified side-band radio, had brief, but evidential contact with an American medical doctor said to have died five years earlier.
1981 Manfred Boden has unsolicited contact with communicators of non-human evolution via telephone and computer.
1982 The AA-EVP was founded although their roots go back to the 1970s, when their president, Sarah Estep, began hearing mysterious voices on her husband's TEAC reel-to-reel recorder. Estep concluded the recordings were made by spirits from the afterlife or alien beings living in a non-corporeal state.[2]
1982
George Meek made a trip around the world to distribute tape recordings of 16 excerpts of communications between William O'Neil and an American scientist who died 14 years earlier. He also distributed a 100-page technical report giving wiring diagrams, photos, technical data and guidelines for research by others.
"Now, you know this room is filled with radio signals, right? ...And you know that each signal remains distinct by its frequency. That's why this radio can tune separately to each signal... Well, all the spiritual universes -and there are hundreds of them- they're all sharing this space with our physical universe, like radio signals sharing this room."
George Meek
Hans Otto Koenig, West Germany, develops sophisticated electronic equipment, using extremely low beat frequency oscillators, ultra-violet and infra-red lights, etc.
Sarah Estep begins the American Association of EVP (AA-EVP)
1984 Kenneth Webster, England, receives (via several different computers) 250 communications from a person who lived in the 16th century. Most print-outs are in English text consistent with speech at that point in history, and personal details fully supported by library research. Communications often concurrent with poltergeist-type phenomena. Webster writes book, The Vertical Plane, with extensive photo documentation in 1989.
1985 Klaus Schreiber, West Germany, with technical assistance from Martin Wenzel, begins to get images of dead persons on TV picture tubes, using opto-electronic feedback systems. There is positive identification in many cases by accompanying audio communications, including audio-video contact with Schreiber's two deceased wives. This work is the subject of a documentary TV film and a book by Rainer Hobbe of Radio Luxembourg.
1986 Jules and Maggie Harsh-Fischbach, Luxembourg, develop and operate two electronic systems superior to that of any of the EVP equipment up to this time.
1987 The C.E.T.L group formed, Luxembourg.
1989 Samuel Alsop publishes his book Whispers of Immortality.

1995 INIT formed (International Network for Instrumental Transcommunication, ITC)
2003 Scottish researcher Alexander MacRae made a number of attempts to capture EVP in a specially designed labratory belonging to the Institute of Noetic Science, Petaluma, California. The laboratory was described as being "double-screened"; Shielded against electromagnetic radiation; to prevent interference from radio transmissions or near by electronic devices, and insulated against sound; to prevent contamination of recordings by external noise sources. Over the course of the experiment, MacRae reported capturing a number of anomalies which were subsequently isolated and analyzed. Based on this analysis, and the level of screening against outside interference, MacRae concluded that the anomalies represented distinct speech from a source that could not be explained through conventional means.
At the present time there are thousands of individuals and organizations from all over the world actively engaged in their own research. Hopefully in time through the efforts of these groups and individuals we shall truly make that important " Breakthrough".

Konstantin Raudive
In June 1965, Latvian Psychologist Dr Konstantin Raudive embarked on series of spirit communication experiments that were to change the lives of many. It was through reading a book by Swedish author Friedrich Jurgenson that Raudive's interest was captured. Jurgenson claimed that whilst out recording bird noises, he had recorded the voice of his deceased mother relaying a message to him. For the next 6 years after reading Jurgenson’s book, Raudive took up the search and began experimenting and recording voices successfully through his own recording methods, which he claimed were the voices of the dead. Many of the messages that Raudive recorded were received in polyglot (a mixture of different languages). It has to be noted that Raudive was fluent in four different languages and he was able to understand each message received in this way.
Konstantin Raudive's book 'Breakthrough' published by Colin Smythe Ltd in 1971 is the catalyst for many of today's researchers.

“It can only work when the vibrations of those present are in complete harmony and when their aims and intentions are pure.”

EVP Today
EVP in the year 2007 has moved on somewhat from the image of a researcher sitting in front of a reel to reel tape recorder for hours on end waiting for a disembodied voice to break through. The digital age is upon us and technology is providing us with many more options by which to conduct our experiments. Many current researchers still prefer the use of analogue recorders to further their research, believing that the voices are imprinted on the tape electromagnetically instead of being an acoustic noise. The use of analogue recorder seems to provide us with clear voices, but not as often as we would like. The introduction of digital recorders has definitely widened our scope for research with voices being picked up far more often, but the voice quality has suffered with many of the digital voices being somewhat distorted. It is important however, to research both analogue and digital methods in the quest to advance EVP recording to new levels. Various types of microphones can be used when researching both analogue and digital methods with particular emphasis on low frequency microphones. EVP is believed to be occurring at very low frequencies, in the levels of infrasound, well below that which the human ear is capable of hearing.
To date, EVP experiments the world over have produced far more evidence of an afterlife than any other aspect of paranormal research.
