Talk With The DeadThat was one of the most heart felt desires of Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame. His wife died and he lost his son in the trenches of the Great War and wanted desperately to communicate with them. There was a huge obsession with spiritualism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amidst all the scientific technologies being discovered and Doyle was one of its staunchest supporters. His arch enemy was the famous magician Harry Houdini who spent countless hours debunking mediums and their seances, proving it was all bunkum and only another money-making scheme. After he died during his famous Chinese water torture chest trick on Halloween, 1926, even his wife Bess believed he would return from the grave. For the next ten years, she stood vigil at his grave on Halloween until she finally gave up in 1937.
I trust all of my complex questions to the ole Magic 8 Ball.
Last night the 19-year-old television series NCIS aired a fascinating episode showing how super-advanced technology can be used to genuinely communicate with the dead.
In the storyline, a very high-powered woman financial consultant is found dead with a bullet wound in the temple. As the investigation unfolds, they go to the victim's affluent mansion. The valet takes them into a home theater. He shows them a hologram of the dead woman. This device was created using hundreds of camera lenses, some very advanced artificial intelligence, and the victim sitting for many hours in front of the cameras before she dies. The agents talk to the hologram of the dead victim. She leads them to her killer. If you have a bit of downtime, please take 48 minutes to watch this fascinating episode
