Summary

Those skeptical of the existence of a spirit world will often cite that there is no credible evidence leading to proof, this being the basis for their disbelief. Yet what constitutes as evidence or proof seems to be a personal decision, as there is an endless supply of visual and audio recordings and environmental data which at the least appear to be genuinely anomalous and unexplainable. For the mainstream scientific community, these anomalies would need to be consistently repeatable under laboratory conditions for the implications of the data to be accepted. But for paranormal researchers attempting communication with the "Other Side," although elusive, there are enough occurrences of contextual dialogue that their practices have become meaningful. The phenomenon of contact with the unseen world via electronic devices is described generally as "Instrumental Trans-Communication" or ITC. First defined in the 1970s by Ernst Senkowksi, researchers have been refining and evolving new techniques for ITC ever since, employing new technologies and modifying established methodologies. One such creative experimentation resulted in the "Estes Method," developed by our last episode's guest, Connor J. Randall, and his investigation teammates Karl Pfeiffer and Michelle Tate. Named for the place where it was first conceived, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, the Estes Method has not only added a layer of objectivity to Spirit Box ITC sessions but has also yielded some compelling "evidence." Join us for another conversation with Connor as he discusses this and other ITC practices used at the Stanley Hotel, which then lead to the experiments seen in the Hellier documentary series.

Last week, Connor J. Randall joined us to share some of his considerable experiences at the Stanley

0:15.4

Hotel. From his first visit, when he was just 10 years old and he saw a door lock itself right

0:21.3

before his eyes, to when he got hired as the concierge at the age of 17. Eventually,

0:27.9

that role evolved into not only a tour guide for the Stanley, but to an in-house

0:32.3

paranormal investigator, part of a team with his closest friend, Carl Pfeiffer.

0:37.7

Connor and Carl conducted hundreds if not over a thousand investigations at the Stanley

0:42.5

over the years, and along the way began to develop experimental methods of ITC or

0:48.5

instrumental transmunication. One of those experiments has since become better known as the Estus

0:55.4

method, and it's making waves in the paranormal world. Some would say, on both sides of the veil.

1:02.3

Tonight, we're honored to be one of the first interviews ever recorded with Connor,

1:06.4

specifically about the Estus method, how it was developed, and where it may go from here.

1:12.0

We had a fair amount of questions about it as I'm sure you can imagine,

1:15.8

so grab your headphones and a notepad because one of the things Connor is hoping some of you folks

1:21.2

will do is try the Estus method out for yourselves and report back to him with your own results and

1:26.8

observations. However, he also wants to make sure you do it right, and tonight, he'll explain

1:33.2

precisely what you need to do to properly set it up.

1:37.2

Welcome back to Estonishing Legends. I'm Scott Philbrook, and this is Forest Burgess.

1:55.2

I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter.

1:59.6

If this reasoning be correct, then if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected,
