Can Spirit Box Radios Be Used to Contact Extraterrestrials as well as Human Spirits?

The spirit box, a device designed to scan radio frequencies rapidly, is commonly used by paranormal investigators in an attempt to communicate with spirits of the deceased. Many claim that spirits can manipulate the white noise and fleeting snippets of sound to form words and phrases in response to human questions. But could this same technology be used to make contact with extraterrestrial (ET) intelligences? And if so, do extraterrestrials have spirits in the same way humans do?

The Spirit Box and Interdimensional Communication

The idea behind the spirit box is that non-corporeal entities can influence electromagnetic frequencies to communicate. If this is the case, then one could hypothesise that extraterrestrials, if they exist in dimensions beyond our own or have technology capable of manipulating electromagnetic energy, might also be able to use these devices to send messages. Some paranormal researchers like Nigel Mortimer speculate that ETs are not just physical beings but interdimensional entities with the ability to traverse between realms. If so, then they might have the means to interact with spirit boxes just as ghosts allegedly do.

Have Spirit Box Users Contacted Extraterrestrials?

There have been anecdotal accounts from paranormal investigators who claim to have received messages from non-human entities through spirit boxes. Some report receiving words or phrases that seem unrelated to any known human language, while others claim to hear messages that hint at advanced knowledge, futuristic concepts, or warnings about humanity’s future. Could these responses be from extraterrestrial beings attempting to reach out?

One challenge in verifying such claims is the nature of radio frequencies themselves. Since a spirit box scans radio waves, it could be unintentionally picking up broadcasts from human-made sources, leading to misinterpretations. However, if responses consistently provide relevant, intelligent answers to specific questions about extraterrestrial life, the possibility of contact cannot be ruled out entirely.

Do Extraterrestrials Have Spirits?

The question of whether ETs have spirits depends on one's definition of consciousness and the soul. Many belief systems suggest that a soul is not unique to humanity but is a fundamental aspect of all sentient beings. If extraterrestrials possess self-awareness and intelligence, they might also have a spiritual essence that survives beyond physical death. Some abductees and experiencers report encountering beings that appear to have a strong connection to energy, consciousness, or even reincarnation. If ETs do have spirits, then spirit boxes could, theoretically, be a tool for communicating with them in both physical and non-physical forms.

A Tool for Universal Communication?

The possibility of using a spirit box to contact extraterrestrial intelligences remains an open question. While there is no scientific confirmation that the device can communicate with spirits—human or otherwise—the overlap between paranormal and UFO phenomena suggests that we might need new tools and methodologies for investigating these mysteries. If ETs exist and have developed ways to manipulate energy fields beyond our current understanding, it is plausible that they could communicate through electronic devices, including spirit boxes like the FCD Portal Pro for example.

Conclusion

Although spirit boxes were initially designed for contacting the dead, some researchers believe they could be used to communicate with extraterrestrials. If extraterrestrials exist and possess consciousness or spiritual energy similar to that of human spirits, then their messages may already be coming through these devices. As technology advances, future research may provide better tools for detecting and deciphering such communications. Until then, the use of spirit boxes as a means of contacting ETs remains a fascinating topic of speculation within both the paranormal and UFO communities.
