In this special episode, I share my favorite EVP, as well as highlights and clips from what just may be communication from a spirit visitor that I call "My Rapper".                By the way, toward the end of this show, while I'm discussing the rapping knocks and taps from my spirit rapper, a "knock" is picked up in the audio in a very annoying place. I left it in the audio, and you'll understand what I mean if you catch it. Coincidence?   Let me know what you thought about this episode. I'm considering an occasional show like this, between interviews and guest appearances.    Links mentioned in this episode: Investigation Report from Friedens United Church of Christ My Two-Week EVP Experiment My Rapper: Missing you, old friend...   Thanks, everyone!
