Audio Baiting 101
By Tonya Hacker
Many Investigative teams use alternative methods to gain reactions from the Spirit World. Its not
a new idea, but I have found no one yet has done any extensive testing and detailed research on
the subject.
Along with many other new
experiments, I will be conducting several Baiting techniques while on
location with GHOULI.

What is
Audio Baiting?
Streaming Audio into a location to peek curiosity from the spirit world and of course to generate
much needed sound waves to collect clear and audible EVP.
Audio Baiting is similar to baiting a hook while fishing, finding that perfect lure or worm to
catch that big fish. In Investigating, patience is a virtue same as fishing, sometimes they bite,
and sometime they don't. Some say weather, moon phases and folkloric tactics are needed to catch
that big fish, some Investigators agree , to a certain extent, finding that perfect lure may help
your odds get a little better.
How
to do it?
So, I want to try Baiting how do I start?
Well, some things in life are simple, therefore they should remain on that simplicity level as
much as possible. Technology is great, but not required for good baiting.
There are key points to remember, but they are not complicated.
Here are a few things everyone should recognize while setting up your baiting
experiments:
-
Classify your big fish. Ask yourself, what do I want to attract? A male, female or child
entity? Once you classify what you are working with, then the search for your bait can proceed.
-
Keep it real! Example: Want to play period music? Do not run out and buy that 1930s digitally
re- mastered copy of the 1932 Andrew Sisters On Parade Use! Use only originally recorded audio,
as if you have a old phonograph on location. Keep that muffled scratchy sound,
that's how it was heard it back then, some things are better left untouched.
You have distinguished what your dealing with, now what? Begin your search for the perfect
bait!
Finding
The Bait:
Audio Baiting is not only playing music from that era. In fact, people have different interests
in life, who are we to say we do not keep those same interests in death?
Choosing Bating Audio takes creativity. Put yourself in the spirits mind back when they were
alive. What was going on in the media? What TV or Radio shows were popular? What foods &
beverages were high on the menu? What sports heroes were around? What Movies & Film stars were
the talk of the town? The more personal Baiting, the better the results may be.
Its not difficult to find these things out, the internet is a great fast & free source for
history.
And
Lastly...
This is a new string of experimentation that I will be attempting over an extended period of
time. Eventually, I will be able to report what has actually worked
(for GHOULI) and to possibly help to benefit the Investigative field, and maybe it will not benefit the field at all.

make your next investigation a more productive one.
