We wondered what it might say at the café, and it didn’t take long to find out. “They got the same words: throat, broken neck and choked and we found out later that a girl had been choked to death right on that bus,” said Beitz. Jill explained how three different groups of people at different times used the app near an old-fashioned school bus. “A simple way of putting it is it looks for order in chaos,” said Pingleton.Īnd it has produced sometimes shocking results. The exact technology is proprietary but basically they say it organizes information and translates energy into words. “We had played with some other apps that are out there and we just thought we could improve upon it a little bit,” said Beitz. Ghost hunters and the founders of StreamSide Software, Roger Pingleton and Jill Beitz, developed the app. The new app supposedly works in a similar way, but using different technology. “They have voice to them and I believe spirits can use that to communicate with you,” said Annie. Monday night, a different type of operation got under way.Īnnie, Roberta and FOX 8 News Reporter Suzanne Stratford tested the new iPhone ghost hunting app called “Spirit Story Box.”Īnnie says ghosts can convert energy into words and speak through different types of equipment in real time, like something called the Ovulis, which looks almost like a small transistor radio. Patients were treated and even some surgeries were performed at the building. The old stone structure which is now a quaint café was once a doctor’s office in the 1930s. “I’ve noticed the doors swinging and closing and opening,” said Robert, adding, “I’ve also heard footsteps up and down the stairs.” Kevin is skeptical but Roberta and others claim they’ve seen and heard all sorts of strange activity.

In any case, my best wishes to Frank in the afterlife.This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. With the Joe’s Box and MiniBox so hard to find today (and so expensive) I am guessing the Frank’s Boxes will now go up in value as there will never be any new ones made and the Andy’s Box wait list may grow longer and longer than it already is. The only one who is left making handcrafted boxes today is Andrew Openlander (Andy’s Box). Joe of the Joe’s Box, Ron with the Mini Box and now Frank of Frank’s Box fame. With the passing of Frank we have now lost the third Spirit box maker over the past few years. My condolences go out to Franks family and friends.

May you rest in peace and get to where you need to go. I know you said you would never come through your box but maybe you will rethink this as it would just show more validity in what you have created. Many will be enjoying and using your designs for years to come. So I will say to Frank “Thank You” for your efforts and the boxes you have made. Frank is the guy responsible for creating this whole area of research and that should never be forgotten. The Mini Box or Joe’s Box or even P-SB7 would not be here. If it was not for Frank, none of us would be using the various boxes that have been made. Frank was a quirky guy and while we exchanged messages a few times, and did not always see eye to eye, I always respected Frank for what he has accomplished in the field of I.T.C. Frank and I were not friends, but I always gave credit to him for being the guy who invented the spirit box.
