Raudive Rises From The Grave: An Eerie Phone Call From The Dead?

For years, I’ve been fascinated with claims of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) and similar instances where people claim that they have been in direct contact with spirits of the dead.

The voice identifies itself as being Konstantin Raudive (pictured above), a Latvian born writer and EVP researcher who had passed away in 1974, and can be heard via the link provided below:
