What happens when you swap a blindfold for VR Headset while doing the Estes Method? "Remote Contact" details preliminary experiments using immersive, 360 degree renders of haunted locations in these investigations.

What started as a fun twist on the traditional Estes Method quickly evolves into something more— Contemplating how these immersive spaces can open a person up to have a more impactful, meditative, and potentially "psychic" paranormal experience.

"Remote Contact" invites viewers to follow these preliminary trials, witness the strange data being collected, and discover how you can take part in this ongoing experiment.

GEMINI Summary: The episode discusses "Remote Contact," a new film and ongoing experiment by Crossroads of Curiosities, LLC, now streaming on PARAFlixx Paranormal+ (0:58). The project explores a new take on the Estes Method by replacing the traditional blindfold with a VR headset displaying immersive 360-degree footage of haunted locations (0:00-0:13, 9:40-10:00).

Key aspects of the "Remote Contact" project:

Genesis of the Idea

Ben, a film enthusiast, acquired a 360 camera and began using it to capture immersive renders of haunted locations, initially to preserve historical sites (2:10-3:29). This evolved into the idea of using these immersive videos with VR headsets for paranormal investigations (3:33-4:24).

Modification of the Estes Method

The core experiment involves participants wearing VR headsets with noise-reducing headphones, viewing 360-degree footage of known haunted locations, while an operator asks questions (9:40-10:00, 7:43-8:14). The goal is to see if responses from a spirit box (audio heard through the headphones) correlate with the virtual location (10:09-10:30).

Controls and Validation

The team intentionally uses locations they are intimately familiar with to validate responses (10:30-11:18). They also bring in individuals unfamiliar with the locations to minimize bias and enhance credibility (11:37-13:13).

Meditative and Channeling Aspects

The participants discuss how the Estes Method, especially with the immersive experience, can induce a meditative state and potentially lead to channeling or remote viewing experiences (14:40-15:07, 21:07-21:16).

A pivotal part of the film involves experimenting with Madison Seminary's Resonance Chamber and guided meditation instead of the spirit box to further explore these meditative states (21:18-23:01).

Call for Participation

The project is designed as an ongoing experiment, and the creators encourage viewers to participate by downloading the 360-degree video footage from their website and conducting their own experiments (1:46-1:53, 28:50-29:01, 30:26-30:58). A questionnaire is available on their website for participants to share their experiences (30:31-30:58).

Future Experiments

The team also briefly touches on potential future experiments, such as attempting to catch EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) within the 360-degree audio from the locations (27:12-28:20).

The film "Remote Contact" is 40 minutes long and is presented in a documentary style (25:58-26:10).
