Blog 32 RTSC coming to a iPhone or Radio Shack near you

I’ve been noticing this new device popping up in many ghost researcher reality shows called the “Ovilus”. This first appeared in a show called “Paranormal State”,

now often featured in “Ghost Adventurer” with a headset device to boot.

The device made by Bill Chappel seems take EMF readings and turn them into words that have a 1000 word vocabulary. It uses harmonics and has 3 different modes to select depending on the haunt and entity that is trying to communicate. He currently working on several devices in paranormal research, but the Ovilus is getting the most attention. Those who were fortunate to get the last prototype have had some success in 2 way communication. Others seem to hard time in making out what the box is saying.

I first was interested in RTSC (Real Time Spirit Communication) after hearing about “Frank’s Box”. Frank Sumption who has been working on his device long past 2002 has come up with many devices
which he recreates over and over again, but tweaks them to new specifications.

Using frequency waves and scanning the frequencies in a sweeping session to pick up RTSC thru the white noise that comes between occupied frequencies. He doesn’t seem to sell the unit, but gives them out to those who do research. I’ve tried to obtain one with no reply back to my request.

The RTSC devices have expanded to devices that you can make on your own using Radio Shack radios. Known as the Radio Shack Hack, these devices have made me spectacle of the reliability of the device. I too, made a Radio Shack Hack and have success and failure that still make me question the device or how the sound is obtained.

Warning: Haunted One Too does not take responsiblity to any damaged radios by those who want to do the Radio Shack Hack. I've done this successfully, if done with skill and patients.


There has been other versions of the so called “ghost box”, a name given by inventor Thomas Edison who was working on the project before his death. George Meeks has picked up where Edison left off. With his help from others who had passed on, who are currently working on this “Circle” of spirit workers that are there to help us communicate and shelter us from some of the harmful spirit that can take over a session. Yes, an actual network being set up to communicate to the other side by the flip of a switch.


These creations by Bill Chappel, George Meeks and Frank Sumption all forge the process of new devices into the world of RTSC. There is even talk about development of a iPhone with a ovilus application to use on your next ghost hunt or tour.
