When Mark L. Cowden first proposed his book to us, we thought, “Okay, here is another guy who thinks the Electronic Voice Phenomena he’s captured is worth a book.” We were skeptical to say the least. But reading his manuscript turned us around—big time. First of all, Mark is not just an expert audio/visual technician, but a very special person. He is “spiritual” in the true sense of the word. And the phenomenon he’s captured is “extraordinary,” also in the true sense of the word. What he did essentially is capture a “live” conversation between this world and the next. And it was all broadcast on television—in Ireland. It didn’t make newspaper headlines around the world—at least not in this world—though it certainly should have. Spirit Voices: The First Live Conversation Between Worlds is Mark L. Cowden’s very personal, quite amazing story. Says Mark: “This book is for everyday people, not just folks interested in the paranormal. It’s for people like me. I was fortunate enough to be someone who was in the right places, at the right times, with the right frame of mind, to witness and record some things that most people say is not possible. I’m not one of those people who has made it a life mission to experience something and then prove to the world that it is possible. The experience happened first. I find it fascinating, I find it inspiring, and I’m constantly trying to find ways to develop myself, remain a decent person, and continue to have more experiences. I believe that it is too amazing to not write about and, if possible, show people on television, but I would never be daft enough to fall into that trap of trying to prove something in a world governed by scientific laws, which, at present, have no way of explaining what this ‘something’ is, or how it works. I’m an observer and will offer my own personal opinion, which I believe is just as relevant on this topic as anybody else’s, scientific minded or not, but I won’t play games with the scientific community.”
