Engineer 'talks' to his dead teenage daughter after developing paranormal detection devices

'Hi Daddy, I love you' - Engineer 'talks' to his dead teenage daughter after developing paranormal detection devices

A grief-stricken electrical engineer believes he has found a way to communicate with his dead daughter eight years after her death.

Using his expertise to design and build a series of electromagnetic detection devices, Gary Galka claims to have even recorded his eldest daughter Melissa saying, 'Hi Daddy, I love you.'

Devastated by his girl's death in a car accident on her way home in 2004 at the age of 17, Gary and his family claim they started to experience unexplained phenomena at their Connecticut home days after the fatal accident, according to the Hartford Courant.

'She started doing things like ringing the doorbell, changing TV channels, turning lights on and off,' said Gary who runs D.A.S. Distribution Inc. in East Granby and lives with his wife Cindy and two other daughters, Jennifer and Heather.

'There were situations when my wife would start to make lunch with Heather and Jennifer and all of sudden they'd feel someone come into the room.

'I've been lying in bed and felt someone come down on my side of the bed and felt a weight on my chest, like someone's head.

'It evolved into things like feeling a tap on the shoulder, someone calling out our names and it felt like someone was kissing our foreheads.'

Using his knowledge of electromagnetic sensors systems, Gary created the Mel-Meter 8704, named after his daughter, the year she was born and the year that Gary believes she passed into the spirit realm.

The entire family say that they have come into contact with Melissa, even seeing her appear inside their home.

'I've never seen Melissa,' said Gary.

'But my younger daughter Heather has seen her three times.'

I'm not so quick to discount his claims. So many things exist that are currently unexplainable.

I suspect that ghosts are just physics that we don't understand yet.

This was featured on an episode of Ghost Adventures. Saw it last Saturday.

There's a video recap on the site:

Woah. Made me think of Caprica...and we all know how that turned out.

Anyhow, pretty neat if real.

Here is a device reportedly used for communicating with the dead. My friend, named Jamie, claims to have used one to communicate with her mother...who informed her of the things her mother knew, and of the place she was buried. Very few people who were present knew that information.

It even sounded like her mother.


Ghost Box

i caught that episode of ghost hunters and it was their best episode to date. they had a full on conversation with the spirit of their dead daughter using the ghost box and evp's. amazingly the parents reacted as if it was a normal occurrence which suggests they have been experiencing the same thing for quite a while. at first i thought the show ghost hunters was a total sham but now that hubby and i have been watching it more often, i'm starting to believe the show is truthful. of course i might be brainwashed by now! either way it's a good way to pass the time friday nights vs drinking and partying. gets my mind going.

Wasn't Edison obsessed with something like this a machine to talk to Ghost? Edison apparently thought it was possible to do this.

Yup he was and here's the link if you want to read up on it more. Edision Ghost Machine

I've heard tons of stories just like that from other parents and friends, even from my own personal experiences. I think the OP's right in thinking is just a physics we don't quite understand yet. Hopefully in time we can progress this field enough to be able to put this question to rest (pun intended )

If anything I think it would involve Consciousness altering reality, people manifesting things they'd like to be true. Look at the examples of poltergeist and how they tend to manifest around teenage and younger girls, could be a phenomenon we have no idea what it actually is.

Claim, or very clever marketing campaign?



Among many other shopping sources...

Google Search: Mel-8704

As well as a video: (Description) A look at the new Mel-8704-ProNavigator Paranormal Instrument



Based on this video however, I wasn't able to determine how one would be able to obtain recordings of audible anomalies. Unless the one the engineer has, is a souped up version?

It was on ghost adventures first of all, so the story of the daughter is real, not just a marketing campaign. If you designed something useful, I imagine you may try to make some money. Also, they used this And recorded evps, so thats where they got the audio. Most people know that Ghost Adventures would never dirty their hands with something fake or with a made-up story behind it. I've heard of machines that attract ghosts and all kinds of other things, so this is really not very far-fetched, for me.

wow, i just realized i said 'ghost hunters' instead of 'ghost adventures.' ghost hunters is an entirely different show and is not what i was referring to! couldn't find a way to edit my post (maybe because it's too old?) so here i am correcting myself... sorry to cause any confusion. ghost ADVENTURES!

The spirit world is real and their daughter lives on for REAL! However, only by your OWN research will you know that the SPIRIT WORLD IS FOR REAL.

First and foremost it's a television show. Their goal is money. Their second goal is possibly proving to the viewers that it's real. If the show was not entertaining people it wouldn't be on the air. You shouldn't take everythiing they say as honest.

Hi!

"Ghost.Adventures.S06E06.The.Galka.Family." goin' to take a look now.
