An apparatus designed in the 1980s to facilitate contact with the dead. The Spiricom appeared in the wake of the interest in electronic voice phenomena, in which very faint voices were heard on tape recordings, recorded at higher than normal speeds. It was developed by engineer George W. Meek of Metascience Foundation, Inc. At the time of his first announcement of the apparatus, Meek claimed that through the Spiricom he and his colleagues had obtained many hours of conversation recorded at a normal speed from different spirits. These included tapes from a well-known U.S. scientist who had died some 14 years earlier.
The primary component of the apparatus was a transceiver operating on the 30-130 MHz range. It was activated, however, by the input of energy from an operator (a medium) of highly developed psychic abilities. The medium supposedly fed an unknown energy, which Meek termed bioplasmic energy, into the device. In this regard, the Spiricom was similar to the black box developed by Dr. Albert Abrams.
