People who have unusual hearing experiences in childhood are more likely to “hear the dead.”

People who are prone to high levels of absorption in mental activities and activities are more likely to claim to be able to “hear the dead,” a new study revealed.

Scientists have discovered the key feature in “clairaudiente spiritualist environments” that claim to be able to hear the voices of the dead.

Their results suggest that people who are prone to addictive mental activities, as well as those who have been exposed to an “unusual hearing experience” at the beginning of life, are more likely to be able to communicate with the deceased.

The team hopes the findings will help them understand more about painful or uncontrollable experiences of hearing voices.

In the study, researchers at Durham University conducted a survey of 65 mediums from the National Union of Spiritualists.

Over 44% of participants reported hearing voices of the dead daily, while 33.8% said they heard a voice on the last day.

While spirits were heard mainly inside the head, 31.7% said they experienced voices coming from both inside and outside the head.

To understand the key features of these environments, the researchers surveyed 143 members of the general public for comparison.

The results showed that environments were more likely to immerse themselves in mental or imaginative activities or to experience altered states of consciousness.

Media were also more likely to report voices heard at the beginning of life.

Speaking to MailOnline, Dr Adam Powell of Durham University, the Hearing the Voice project and the Department of Theology and Religion and lead author of the study, explained: “Some remember seeing and hearing a dead loved one in their own home.” often in their bedroom at night.

“Others remember having conversations with others invisible as far back as they can remember.”

Spiritualists reported that they first heard the dead at an average age of 21.7 years. However, 18% of spiritualists said they heard voices “as long as they could remember.”

Dr. Powell said, “Our findings say a lot about ‘learning and desire.’

“For our participants, the principles of spiritualism seem to give meaning both to the extraordinary experiences of childhood and to the frequent auditory phenomena they experience as environments of practice.

“But all of these experiences can result more from having certain tendencies or early abilities than simply believing in the possibility of contacting death if someone tries hard enough.”

While members of the public with high absorption rates were more likely to believe in the paranormal, the team found no significant link between faith and pronunciation compared to hallucinations.

In general, the findings indicate that some people may be uniquely prone to absorption and are more likely to report hearing death.

Dr. Peter Moseley, co-author of the study at Northumbria University, said: “Spiritualists tend to report unusual hearing experiences that are positive, start early in life, and are often then able to control.

“Understanding how they develop is important because it could help us understand more about painful or uncontrollable experiences of hearing voices.”
