I don't believe that "spirit boxes" are influenced by spirits. I believe patterns can emerge from random occurrences and have always been interested in the ideas of Chaos Theory since I first heard of it.
I agree. I would call it auditory pareidolia. I have watched numerous paranormal investigation shows and when they play it the first time I cannot discern any speech. Then they replay it with subtitles (closed captions) and suddenly you can hear what is being said.

So what is the story when, you have just pulled some cookies out of the oven and the phone rings, it's a neighbor down the street who just wants to thank you for being a great neighbor and friend. you go aww thanks, and on the spur of the moment decide to take some cookies down the road and share some of the freshly baked. But when arriving the sheriff and an ambulance are there as the caller in question sort of passed away many hours ago. This type of thing is so numerous as to be almost banal. I'll leave the URL as the comments are full of such reports. the actual video says that the scientific investigation into these calls falls into two categories. Sometimes the static is bad no caller ID similar voices to the spirit boxes etc.

I am in the process of researching which spirit box to get. There’s some buildings where I live that are 900 years old , always thought they would be good places to start.
If you know of any good ones I’m all ears

If we don’t have free will and everything is planned out , then maybe the dead have front row seats and can rewind and fast forward ?
It seemed to me that these things are from another dimension. I am in the field of Science that studies the atmospheric chemicals, but I do realize that Physics teaches us we have more than our traditional 4 dimensions. While I am not qualified anymore than a biologist which is a degree I also claim, or any lay person who doesn't pretend to know much, I do believe in that dimensional aspect of Physics. Therefore, it seems to me they are multi dimensional beings. Spirits I would suppose for the common term.

Would dead people have any better idea of what is going to happen than anyone alive?
What is the source of their data, and its reliability, and what confidence can we put in the sources?

I think that using the word "dimension" is not correct. A single dimension has no thickness, chemistry and physics cannot occur in just a single dimension, natural phenomena are at least three-dimensional in nature.
I think that the use of the word "dimension" in this regard came out of the 1800's spiritism movement, and was trying to claim some semblance of scientific-sounding terminology.
Perhaps a better description would be an alternate reality or another world?

Anyone listening to Spirit box outputs has to admit that there are some interesting points to ponder. Some guys seem to get regular contact which seems strange for what would appear to be random signals."Hope Paranormal" wondered if he should make these contact sessions public, as it appears that over on the other side, he was getting specific warnings for Easter. I noticed that a few other predictors seem to be red alerting for this time, for various reasons, like planetary alignments etc. Which also seems to be synchronized with the general geo-political situation. Plus there seems to be a general feeling of unease in many diverse places, anyway, here it is. It has two equal signs which I seem to have a problem posting so this is the URL. www.youtube.com...

Didn’t Hawkins say something similar in his later carer ? Sitting there could be 14 dimensions or something ? He said it’s when they cross paths with other dimensions is when we get “ghosts”.

Dead people are just dead.
They have ceased to exist when they died.
There is not a shred of evidence for the afterlife religious driven stories.

What of the dead who are resuscitated? They don't come back as empty shells, they still have their personality and memories, so something seems to survive death.
Not only that, but significant numbers of those who are resuscitated near and after clinical death, recount experiences that occurred to them during the time they were dead. Definitely more of them describe post death experiences than people who recall occurrences while they were comatose, or unconscious from anaesthetic. And there are great similarities in their accounts (but also some differences from religious teachings).
My wife was one of those who had a near death experience after a severe motorbike accident. Prior to the experience, she wasn't religious at all.
And your insistence that there is no evidence of the supernatural ignores the experiences observed by significant numbers of people all through human history.
Personally, I have observed dozens of people who have been supernaturally healed, some of them of quite obvious physical conditions, and on the spot, with no time for natural healing to have occurred.
I have seen rain fall from a cloudless summer night sky and put out a fire that was threatening to burn down my house, when the water pressure and the hose I was using could barely reach the areas where the flames were burning.
I have experienced and seen the temperature drop and everyone's breath clouding up when dealing with someone who was spiritually oppressed, and have seen their appearance completely change when they were freed.
I have experienced a couple of incidents of suddenly knowing things, in considerable detail, with no way of getting or learning that information, and equally strange was that several people I was with at the time all commented on somehow receiving the same information.
Weird and often religious stuff happens all the time, to most people on the planet. It is evidence of something.
If you are trained not to look for that evidence, you will never find it... But even at that, the evidence is a highly personal thing. So, you are calling everyone who has claimed a "Life After" as in reincarnation or those who have had "Near Death", liars. Quite a statement in itself. Why would you do that seeing its impossible for you to know all them personally to give a valid statement, testament, opinion.
No evidence exists
