Share with us any techniques you've learned to contact your loved ones that have been since departed.

What techniques have you heard of and what ones have you tried. One technique a lot of people are familiar with is the EVP recorder session where you use a special type of voice recorder and you can't hear anything when you record it but you play it back and you can hear disembodied voices speaking back to you. There are many techniques. I tend to stay away from anything ritualistic as I am a Christian and don't believe in any type of sorcery but there real down to earth techniques you can use that are far from being too far out there. As far as a ouijaa board goes I'd stay away from those. But any down to earth techniques you've ever used that have to do with technology please share.
