Yeah this has been happening to me more than I'd like to admit lately. I've been running sessions with a Zoom H5 recorder in a location in South London that I won't name for obvious reasons, and twice in the last month I've got responses that directly addressed the question I'd just asked out loud. Not vague one-word stuff either, proper contextual replies.
The skeptic in me keeps coming back to pareidolia and audio matrixing, where your brain fills in patterns that aren't really there. But I've had two other people independently transcribe the same recordings without knowing what I asked, and they're coming up with the same words I heard.
What concerns me more than the excitement is the nature of the responses. One of them gave information I hadn't shared with anyone. That changes the conversation quite a bit.
Anyone else keeping proper session logs with timestamps and control variables? Because anecdotal stuff is fine but if we're serious about this we need to start treating it more like an investigation and less like a ghost tour.
