Ron Yacovetti & Lourdes Gonzalez
Ron Yacovetti and Lourdes Gonzalez bring to an enthused public, a most unique method of spirit communication, now widely known as, “The Digital Séance Experience (TDSE). It employs the use of analog white noise generators which are filtered and slowed down to enable vocal anomalies to audibly emerge from a speaker. It's a closed-circuit system with no opportunity to receive any RF signal, no mic input and yet despite white noise possessing no data, clear voices that have timing and relevance are often heard. Ron and Lourdes proudly champion the metaphysical idealist view that reality is fundamentally mental, allowing for a coherent understanding of "supernatural" experiences as natural phenomena, nature doing what it does, thereby resolving conflicts with scientific frameworks and dissolving axiomatic beliefs that have persisted in the paranormal field far too long. Their lecture presentations have been highly successful in provoking thought, as well as encouraging others to not just accept the hand-me-down theories that exist in our field. They can be seen presenting alongside Chris DiCesare on his promotional tour following the October 7, 2025, release of the Netflix Mini-Series, James Wan Presents, “True Haunting: Eerie Hall” which chronicles Chris’ 1985 college dorm haunting.
