Konstantin Raudive – The Voice of The Dead

For many, the first traces of the Raudive Tapes were in William Burroughs fictions and articles. The fact is, these mysterious magnetic tapes, which capture the voices of the dead, and were recorded by the baltic scientist Konstantin Raudive, are not a fiction but a reality (we are not here to judge their scientific objectivity). These tapes, as rare as Lovecraft’s Necronomicon, are now in our archives
Dr Konstantin Raudive, a student of Carl Jung, was a Latvian psychologist who taught at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, before devoting the last ten years of his life to electronic voice phenomenon (EVP).He published in his book Breakthrough in 1971. His early collaborator F. Jurgenson, whom he met by the very beginning of 1965, awakened Dr. K.Raudive’s interest in EVP research. Raudive spent endless hours for the thorough study of Jurgenson’s books (“Voices from Space”, 1964 and “Radio-Link with the Dead”, 1967). From an overwhelming database (ranging about 72000 samples!), Raudive’s mother seems to be statistically the most frequently reported contact personality. She usually addressed her son in the Latgalian dialect
