Did anyone else pick up on that prank call??? My boyfriend and I listened to it on my ipod just now and were stunned from that call! A guy called in saying he had an EVP from the Cape at his friends house. He played it and it was really hard to hear. But we listened to it over and over again!! I picked it up the first time, but each time I played it for my boyfriend to pick up on it the clearer it got! Basically, the EVP goes like this.... Male voice starts... "If there is anyone here who would like to speak with me, please say something." (Sounds like a toilet flushing?) "If there is anyone here, please give me a sign." (And then there are some, and because I cant think of a better way to say it, sounds of someone passing gas!) "At this point, I notice a disgusting smell" And then a female voice yells "Cause you ate at Taco Bell, b!%$#!" Are we the only ones who caught this?

Nope, when they played it on the radio, I thought it was a prank, but couln't tell what they were saying. What a shame that people still think the paranormal is a joking matter!! I guess unless you've experienced something yourself, it's easy to laugh at others who have!! Whether or not people want to ridicule people involved in the paranormal, we will continue to study it and bring forth real evidence!! When we become recognized as a real science, these taco bell freaks will have nothing better to do any more. The show rocked even with their stupid prank!! I listened so intently, I forgot to call in again, LOL! The show seems to go by so fast, it ends and I'm still sitting there with my phone in my hands, LOL!! Thanks for deciphering this prank for us! Hmm, I wonder, can the call be traced??

I know, and I felt so bad after they hung up! It didnt seem like they picked up on it right away and I was hoping they didnt spend too much time talking about it in a serious way! Although, it did sound like Tim figured it was something wierd and therefore moved the conversation along back towards demonology again! It was just not delivered well, so you couldnt even hear it in the first place. Like I said, we had to replay it like 10 times to figure out what they were saying. I hate to say it, but even though it was completely rude and juvenile, I still laughed when I figured out what they were saying! I know, its horrible! But I am easily amused. I just was shocked when I heard it, and had to see what anyone else who had caught it had to say about it! I am the same way about calling in! I dont get to hear it live, so I have to just call in blindly and hope I dont mess up the flow of the conversation. I wanted to get to talk to Keith soooooo badly! Im still trying to figure out how I can get in touch with him. I hope they can trace it! They had so many crazy things happening during the show, the computer firing off commercials and whatnot, that I hope something paranormal got ahold of their line and will now tease and taunt them for awhile! Nothing hurtfull, just hopefully will help them believe in the paranormal! Alrighty, thats all from me for now! haha

Yes, we all picked up on the prank call while it was going on. Pretty much once he said he'd rather play it over the air than send it to us, we knew we were in for it. We were actually writing the words "prank" to one another on the marker board we pass around during the show.
However, we don't want to shy away from taking anyone's call, and if we ridiculed the call without being totally sure of what was being said (we couldn't hear it well in the studio, either) we might scare off future callers. Our only complaint is that we didn't make out the bad word, so we could've used the "DUMP" button (Matt C. is DYING to use it, but we hope we never have to!)
I left it in the replay because..well, I don't want to edit the show to make it seem "perfect." Prank calls come with the territory, I guess.
Oh, and Ash, I talked with Keith about your situation, and he'd like very much to talk with you. He has a good friend in Texas he thinks can help you. (I emailed a group about you...have you heard from anyone?). Anyway, shoot me an email at tim@spookysouthcoast.com, and I'll send you Keith's email address and I'll find out if it's okay to give you his phone number.
If anyone can help you, it's Keith.

Yup, the prank stuff stinks!! I can't imagine having nothing better to do than make up pranks such as this. I guess it just goes to prove that people who go through the trouble of pulling pranks, be it by faking pictures or making up a stupid skit to play on the radio, are people who must really have no life, since they have nothing better than that to do!?? I'm glad that you guys were on top of it and hopefully, they'll find a life and not bother you guys again!! And I have to agree about Keith, he seems so very nice, and he's very knowledgeable! I really enjoy when he's on the show, and Renee was great too, you guys will have to have her on again! Ash, you might want to check out Keith's site, I hope you don't mind me leaving the link behind guys! It's probably listed somewhere on the main site, anyway, LOL! He has a site for his group, NEAR paranormal, and there is a forum there. I joined and there's lots of information and great people covering a lot of great topics. Go on over and check it out if you get a chance. I know if Keith knows that you need help, he'll be there for you! Recently, I was worried about one of my modertors who had been involved with ivestigating a pretty nasty demon case. Keith was very nice and offered his number to this moderator! I thought it just goes to show he really cares about people, to offer himself to someone far away, so quickly!! Here's the link for his site, and make sure you say hi at his forum! Ya just might see me over there, I visit regularly!! It's www.nearparanormal.com and the forum is under demonologists forum! Good luck ash!!

Hey Tim, tell Matt C. that next Saturday I will call in and say a curse word just for him! Ill let you know well beforehand so you guys can use the "dump" button! Unless it means you guys hang up on me! Is it a sound effect or does it drop the call? Ok, anyways, enough with my sillyness! Thanks so much! I havent heard anything yet, but I will keep my eye open for messages! And again, thanks!

In fairness I thought you lads handled it very well. You're always gonna get that sorta crap with a radio show. I think most people knew within the first 30 seconds that it was a prank... Do you keep a record of phone numbers? Just block them next time.
Also I'm sure anyone who goes to the effort of listening to the show heard that and just thought, "IDIOT! Wasting valuable air time when we could be hearing something interesting!".

Just wondering if the prankster ever returned? I think that was a one-shot deal.

Nope, never heard him on a broadcast again, good thing! I'd hate to see you sic a demon on anyone!! Hey Keith, when are you doing your next Southcoast Learning class?? I've been hoping to get a chance to go to one! My friend delivers their flyers for them, but she's in a middle of moving and fixing up a house, so I'm sure she'll forget to remind me!
