Large scale spectrograms of EVP sound recordings (ghost voices) found on personal websites.
Bereaved, some go 'ghost hunting' - seeking signs and proof that their loved ones are not forever lost, but still persist in some parallel world. One such sign is 'Electronic Voice Phenomenon', the inexplicable appearance of intelligible voices in empty rooms. Recordings made in a space familiar to the deceased are analyzed for imperceptibly weak yet anomalous signals; These slithers of hope are enhanced to reveal ghost voices and messages from the spirit world.
