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 through 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 microphone. 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. Jackie 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. We both have received 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 and I can totally see why so many spirits go there to visit her. I
have the great pleasure of getting of know Jackie Colligan and look forward to meeting her
someday soon! Thanks for all of your help with analyzing my EVPs!
