At first I just shrugged it off, then one day she punched me in the stomach. That was about two weeks before I threw her out (literally and physically) however, she then claimed (because she still thought I was interested) that she could no longer contact "Monty" but instead was getting to people who were horrible and nasty.
Perhaps you were looking for words in the gibberish, probably not knowingly. Your ex wife had mentioned she could now only reach people who were horrible and nasty, and had very recently done something particularly horrible and nasty herself. Maybe this was your subconscious telling you something rather than people from the other side?
I’ve watched some things on YouTube where people use spirit boxes - seems similar to your ex’s technique. They had a little machine that switched through radio stations 8+ times per second, so in theory if any words came through it must be the spirits manipulating it. It only ever produced one syllable words “Mike”, “go”, “run”, and a lot of the time they were making massive leaps to get to those words basing them around things they already knew about the supposedly haunted places they were visiting.
I remain sceptical but intrigued.
Yeah we ended up with about ten old radios. Problem is none of them were suitable. There are quite a few ways people do it

For me, the biggest argument against any of this stuff is that surely anyone that was genuinely able to communicate with the dead would be of huge interest to scientists around the globe. Yet none are.
Similarly, I know that time travel will not be possible in my lifetime because if it were, my current self would tell my future self to travel back to some point in the past and give me a sign.
There was an experiment done many years ago where they locked a film roll into a box. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though. I think all of the scientists who do engage in it keep it quiet. In fact, other than the people asking for Paypal donations I think most still do at fear of being ridiculed. It's still an enormously taboo subject and something that most dimiss out of hand.

Mediums make me very cross as they cynically prey on people's hope and desperation for money.
ITC has nothing to do with mediums. In fact, if I even so much as mentioned mediums or "ghosts" she used to fly into one.
