So, you want to talk to the dead. Well, you have tons of options to try. Some may hire a psychic, or perhaps a paranormal investigation team. Or maybe you want to take matters into your own hands. This week, Count Panek and Bob look at 3 different methods of spiritual communication.

1. Estes Method: A technique that allows investigators to sensory deprecate themselves into a channel in which they could communicate with the dead. They use a blind fold and listening blocking muffs, and filter white noise into it.

2. Pendulums: A crystal that dangles by thread. Can be used to make the spirits move it in a direction to answer a question.

3. Ouija Boards: A piece of wood with letters and phrases on there. Idea is that people use a planchette to move around the board guided by spirits.

These are just three quick tools or methods people use to communicate with the dead.

Coast 2 Coast calls it, "Open Lines" when they just have time dedicated to fans calling into the show. We call it, "It's our anniversary. Please call in." Well, it was indeed our anniversary, and we had a bunch of callers calling in with their spooky tales, and encounters they could not explain. There's also some news, and a brief history of Halloween.

Thanks for sticking by us all these years later.

*NOTE* This is more or less a lost episode. It is the best cut we could get.

According to the BBC, "The Piper was hired by Hamelin to rid the town of its plague of rats. Trailing after the hypnotic notes of the rat-catcher’s magical flute, the rodents politely filed through the city gates to their presumed doom. They weren’t the only ones lured by his music, though. When the town refused to pay the Piper for his service, the saviour turned into a more satanic seducer and came for Hamelin’s children. Entranced by the notes of his flute, the transfixed boys and girls followed the Piper out of town and simply vanished." Today we look at that weird and possibly eerie truth behind The Piped Piper.
