It was only a matter of time before researchers began to apply modern technology to the investigation of spirits. Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) uses televisions to capture images from those who have passed away. Users of ITC believe they are capturing evidence from the other side.

German ITC researcher Klaus Schreiber gathered images of alleged spirits by using a video camera aimed at a television and fed the output of the video camera back into the TV. The continual loop would often show faces emerging from the mist. During one session an image of Austrian actress Romy Schneider appeared several years after her death.

Another strange example from Sweden occurred during the burial of Friedrich Juergenson, when  an ITC researcher saw an image of a man appear on his TV. He photographed it and discovered after intensive research it was in fact Juergenson.

ITC is not limited to using the television alone; researchers are now using radios, computers, telephones and even fax machines. The application of technology is purely to obtain meaningful information such as voices, images and text.

After a decade of research into the evidence, scientists are finding it hard to simply dismiss this phenomenon.
