The ghostbox recording that we posted back in September appeared
to be popular, so we thought that we’d now post the second session that we
uploaded to YouTube at the time.
At this point in our recording sessions, we were getting
a lot of unpleasant abuse coming through aimed at Laura, from one ‘voice’ in
particular – a gentleman with a Scottish accent.
We therefore carefully considered the situation and
decided to end our recording sessions there and then.
Writing this in the cold light of day, over two years
later and, over a 100 miles from where we physically made the recordings, we
accept that to many, this appears to be a strange reason to stop.
However, after some reflection, I guess that it was a
case of discretion being better than valour.
Conclusion?
To this very day, we still have no views either way for
or against the ghostbox, but we can assure you that what we’ve posted here and
on YouTube is representative of what we experienced and it is a device that we
believe is deserving of further attention, despite the controversy surrounding
it.
Some people just like to hear the sound of their own
voices, it makes them feel important.
At the moment, the ghostbox sits, neatly packed in its
original box a couple of inches to my right as I put this blog together. The
technology has now moved on and you can even download apps and software to your
mobile phone and computer that will perform the same function.
The question remains will we ever put batteries in it and
start using it to record again?
Only time will tell.......
