in 1992 Jackie Colligan made an amazing discovery while attempting to
gather hard evidence of poltergeist activity which had been occurring in
her home.
Jackie found that she had the ability to record audible speech from the
energies of "spirits". Audible words and noises which reflect the thoughts,
activities and "lives" of people who are no longer inhabiting earthly bodies.
Over the years, Jackie has become exceptionally gifted in the art of
paranormal voice phenomena. She has assembled a continually expanding
archive of spirit recordings and related material. They say that Practice
Makes Perfect, and it appears that this old adage also applies to the
numerous entities who have also become skilled at seeking out and
establishing contact with and thru Jackie.
Jackie Colligan is a woman in her sixties doing a research on her haunted
mobile home and land (supposedly an Indian burial ground ) for the last
seven years this coming October of 1999.
Jackie and her daughter-in-law saw a white form pass by in the living
room during the mid-afternoon of October 8, 1992, making it the fifth
time Jackie saw the form. She tried to excuse the sightings as reflections
from the television the first four times, since all four of the previous
sightings had taken place at night.
She set out that very night to find out who else was occupying their
mobile home from the "other side."
That evening she set up a VCR with the help of her son and they connected
it to a video camera and an external mic. Every night she videotaped for
six hours and then spent six hours daily watching and listening to every
noise and sound.
Finally, in the middle of November, she decided to record the video earlier
in the evening. At 11p.m. she ejected the video and watched it. Jackie used
a large numbered clock to mark what times different noises were
occurring on the tape. At exactly 10:39 p.m. a young female voice was
heard on the tape saying, "Please leave me." This event was a total shock to
Jackie since she had never before heard of spirit recording--she had
expected to see something along the lines of "shadows".
Jackie then went to the library to search for books on ghost voices and
happened to find a book by Harold Sherman. The author explained how to
run a tape recorder with a clean cassette.
At the end of November 1992 Jackie began recording using Sherman's
methods. She put in ten and eleven hour days for five years--both
recording and listening. The voices started coming in more frequently,
and by the month of February 1993 she had recorded over two hundred
voice messages. From there it continued to escalate.
Jackie has more than seven thousand hours of research, logging over
4,000 pages of hand written dialogue and over a thousand voices saved to
Zip Drive.
She typed a 467 page manuscript and has a literary contract with an
agent, but the agent disappeared with her manuscript; however Jackie has
the original. She also had a movie contract that expired, unlike the
literary contract.
Jackie and members of her family have seen many of the spirits and
experienced many ghostly activities. The spirits have befriended the
family--although it took a couple of years--but they still have
encounters at times that are not of a friendly nature.
Jackie seems to have been a conduit for the spirit world since her early
teen years--meaning that the spirits are drawn to her--which has made
for some rough times in her life. The spirits also like to come into her
body throughout the night and use her vocal cords to express themselves.
Finally, she decided to put a camera by her bed. If the spirits try to come
into her and don't take over before she can fully wake up, she starts
snapping pictures. The spirits do not like having their pictures taken, so
they leave. She has recorded them speaking through her in the night
hours by setting up a voice activated tape recorder.
The spirit world is just as real to her as the physical world and the
spirits have become part of her life.
Jackie has become a special part of my life! She lends great help to me
with my own spirit recordings and has said that we both have gotton some
of clearest and best evps that she has ever heard. Coming from Jackie with
her experience in evp work this means a lot to me. She is a kind sweet
spirited person herself and i can totally see why so many spirits go there
to visit her. I have the great pleasure getting of know jackie colligan and
look forword to meeting her someday soon! thanks for all of your help
with analyzing my evps!
