Voice Phenomena
Juergenson
was a film producer in Sweden who, in 1959 while making a documentary, had
decided to tape bird songs. As he began recording, little did he realize that
what was to follow would change the course of not only his earthly life but of
that he would lead in the world beyond after his death. When he played the tape
back he was startled to hear, in among the tweeting and chirping, his mother's
voice say in German, "Friedrich, you are being watched. Friedel, my little
Friedel, can you hear me?"
