Friedel's Conversations with the Dead is the story of the Swedish painter and opera singer Friedrich Jürgenson, who pioneered the discovery of Electronic Voice Phenomena, in which deceased people appear to be able to make contact with the physical world utilising electronic devices such as radios, tape recorders, computers and televisions.Born in Odessa in 1903 during the first Russian revolution, Friedel, as he was affectionally known, witnessed the carnage and dead bodies piled up in the streets at a young age. When he was six years old his father took him to a slaughterhouse, and when he heard the screams of animals being killed, he said there and then, "It is not right for man to eat dead animals." That was a defining event in his life and he became a lifelong vegetarian. His childhood experiences were a stark vision of the fragility of human existence and the cruelty imposed on animals, and a reminder to him that death is never far away. Maybe it was a preparation for the day in 1959, when he heard his mother's voice on the tape recorder that he used for recording birdsong in the forest. That was unusual because the tape recorder and tape were new, whereas she had been dead for five years!This book documents his encounters with scientists such as Hans Bender, the renowned German psychologist, who after experimenting with the voices concluded, that they couldn't be explained by normal means and were "probably paranormal." TV personalities sought out Friedel, curious and in many cases sceptical about the voices and his claims, and he was the star of Sweden's version of the TV show "Here is Your Life", and the subject of a film and documentaries in Europe, and he produced and directed his own documentaries.He became a regular guest at the Vatican and directed excavations in Pompeii. He painted portraits of two pope's, Pius XII and Pope Paul VI, which still hang there today. Pope Paul VI later agreed that the voices, were not of earthly origin (or demonic) and were indeed the voices from the dead. Friedrich Jürgenson embodied the spirit of a renaissance man and his story is one of the more fascinating adventures of the twentieth century.

Glimpses of Another World: Impressions and Reflections of an EVP Operator is Anabela Cardoso's third work. Following on from Electronic Voices: Contact with Another Dimension? and Electronic Contact with the Dead: What do the Voices Tell Us? in this book the author shares her thoughts and ruminations on Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC), the phenomena whereby allegedly deceased communicators relay messages and images to the living via radio equipment, televisions, computers, phones and other electronic devices. It's a subject Anabela has devoted her life to in recent decades. The communication is both fascinating and mysterious and the wisdom meted out by higher dimensional human and nonhuman intelligences is profound. Glimpses of Another World is a memoir and a how-to-do ITC manual rolled into one and essential reading for those pondering the possibility of an afterlife.

Career diplomat and experimenter Dr Anabela Cardoso covers the latest research into instrumental transcommunication ITC and electronic voice phenomena EVP.
