Dr. Konstantin Raudive was a Latvian writer, psychologist and philosopher who studied psychotherapy under Carl Jung. He read a book by electronic voice phenomena (EVP) researcher Friedrich Jürgenson titled Voices from Space in which Jürgenson describes recording the voices of people whose bodies had been dead for years or decades who are now living in the life after this life. Raudive was determined to learn how to record the voices. He set up his equipment following Jürgenson’s instructions. One night, he played back a recording and heard distinct voices.  He continued his effort and eventually had recorded over 72,000 EVP/ITC voice recordings. He wrote Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead,[i] published in 1971, describing the recordings.[ii] Raudive transitioned to the next stage of his life in 1974.

In 1994, 20 years after his transition, he made phone calls to Sarah Estep, George Meek, Mark Macy, and Sonia Rinaldi, all EVP/ITC researchers. The phone calls to Sarah Estep and George Meek were recorded. Mark Macy was not available when Raudive called, so Raudive left him a voice message we have a recording of. Sonia Rinaldi did not have a recorder on her phone. In the phone calls, Raudive spoke articulately, referred to things happening in the listeners’ lives, had his characteristic Latvian accent, and carried on a fluid dialogue about the work in EVP/ITC. The conversations are evidence that Raudive’s mind continues to live although his body is dead.

Sarah Estep compiled the recordings and has made them available. You can listen to the recordings below. Sarah Estep introduces the recordings. Unfortunately, Sonia Rinaldi’s call was not recorded.
