I bought the app to try and connect with my late fiancé. Every session, I notice that it says the same things. So I recorded it, and reversed it. It was a recording of maybe a Ted Talk? (I left it “open” while recording on my tablet in the bathroom with the door closed so there wasn’t any other sounds or interruptions. And I left it running for maybe a half hour.) I felt scammed. … well I just bought an actual spirit box and waiting for it to be delivered. Hoping for a solid connection.
I'm not surprised at all. This app can be pretty hit or miss, often leaning towards the miss. Glad you're giving an actual spirit box a try - hopefully, it brings the connection you're looking for.
The Hope app is the same way. I’ve been trying to get stuff from it for months. The reason I say that is the Hope creator and huff creator are friends.
Which takes more power? Slamming cupboard doors and throwing gravel against roofs (the poltergeist in Beyond The Quantum) or interfering with the electrical current to streetlamps/incandescent lights? It might be the latter, if not so impressive.
