Edison and His Ghost Machine. Part Two

by MountainGirl in History, May 15, 2012

Many people claim that famous inventor Edison was the first to communicate with the death. He was also the first to invent a ghost machine. On October 1920, the Scientific American Magazine published an article titled "Edison building a ghost machine to communicate with the death. "

Edison And His Ghost Machine. Part 2

For many years, I have been wondering why Edison did not reveal any details about his ghost machine. Many people believe that he had gone crazy—he wanted to build a machine to talk to ghosts. When he was interview by the Scientific American Magazine, he told them that his machine would give him the power to communicate with the death. His machine had a turning valve that made a steam turbine for the spirits to come to us and to speak to us. After the interview Edison refused to talk about the machine. He told the Scientific American Magazine that one of his employees who was working on the ghost machine died, but if the machine worked, “he ought to be the first to use it”

There is no evidence that this ghost machine was built, yet given the fact that Edison was one of the greatest inventors of all time it is possible that he built the machine, but he destroyed it because he found out something he shouldn’t have or it never work. We can only wondered what it would be like to talk to death. To really find out what is waiting for us on the other side.

Edison Last words during the Interview

Edison believed that entities live forever and that death is simply the departure from our body—the departure of the spirit from our body. “I really believe that our personality survives,” Edison said. “If my personality really survives, my machine would be useful. That is why I am working on this machine. I am waiting for the results” Again, there’s no evidence that Edison’s ghost machine really work and is unclear whether his machine was real or a hoax. However, I seriously doubt that he wanted to attract some negative attention.
