Alien Contact: How Ghost Hunters Summoned the Men in Black

A hunt for the secrets of ghostly technology uncovers a chilling recording of the Men in Black! In part three of our “Voices From Beyond” series, we twist the knobs on Instrumental Transcommunication, revealing the spooky origins of a real-life Telephone to the Dead. Plus, we meet a psychic ventriloquist, Konstantin Raudive reaches out from beyond the grave, and Greg stumbles onto an otherworldly secret hiding in some old ghost box schematics.
