Have you ever been watching TV when the channel suddenly changed on its own? Or maybe your phone rang and the caller ID showed “unknown” or a strange number, but when you answered, there was nothing but static? Perhaps the lights in your home flickered at a meaningful moment, or you heard your name whispered through white noise.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining things. And no, your house isn’t haunted in a scary way. What you’re experiencing might just be a loved one in spirit trying to get your attention.
As America’s Top Psychic Medium, I’ve heard thousands of these stories during my mediumship readings. People come to me wondering if they’re losing their minds because their television turns on at 3 AM to their grandmother’s favorite show, or their car radio keeps landing on a song that reminds them of someone they’ve lost. Let me tell you something important: you’re not crazy. Your loved ones are simply finding creative ways to say hello.
Why Do Spirits Use Electronics?
Here’s the thing about the spirit world that most people don’t realize: spirits are made of energy. Pure, vibrational energy. And what else runs on energy? You guessed it. Every electronic device in your home.
Think about it this way. When someone passes away, their physical body is gone, but the energy that made them who they were doesn’t just disappear. Energy can’t be created or destroyed. It simply transforms. Your loved ones still exist, just in a different form. And that energetic form allows them to interact with the electromagnetic fields that power our modern world.
Electronics are like a bridge between our world and theirs. Spirits can manipulate the energy flowing through lights, phones, televisions, and computers much easier than they can move physical objects. It takes less effort for them to flicker a light bulb than to knock a picture frame off a shelf. So when they want to reach out, they often go for the path of least resistance.
The Most Common Electronic Signs from Spirit
Over my years working as a psychic medium, I’ve noticed that spirits tend to have favorite methods of communication. Once they find something that works, they stick with it. Here are the signs I hear about most often:
1. Flickering or Flashing Lights
This is probably the most common sign people report. You’re sitting in your living room thinking about your mom who passed, and suddenly the lamp beside you flickers three times. Not a coincidence. Spirits can easily influence electrical currents, and lights are often the first thing they learn to manipulate.
2. Phone Calls from Unknown Numbers
I once knew a woman who kept receiving calls from her deceased father’s old phone number, even though the line had been disconnected for years. When she answered, she heard nothing but static and a faint voice she swore sounded like him saying her name. This happens more often than you’d think.
3. Televisions and Radios Turning On
Recently a client of mine told me her husband’s favorite song played on the radio every single morning for a week after his passing. The radio would turn itself on at exactly 7:15 AM, the time he used to wake up for work. Spirit knows your routines and uses them to get your attention.
4. Electronics Malfunctioning at Meaningful Moments
Have you ever been at a funeral or memorial service when the microphone suddenly went haywire? Or tried to play a slideshow tribute and the computer froze on a specific photo? Spirits love to make their presence known during these gatherings. It’s their way of saying, “I’m here with all of you.”
5. White Noise and Static
This one goes way back. For decades, researchers have studied something called Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP. The theory is that spirits can embed their voices in static and white noise. Some people hear whispered words through baby monitors, old radios, or even running water. The veil between worlds is thinner than we think, and sound waves can carry messages across.
The Science and Spirituality Behind It
Now, I know some of you are thinking, Is there any actual explanation for this, or is it all just wishful thinking?
Here’s what I’ve come to understand after years of connecting people with their loved ones on the other side. Science tells us that everything in the universe is made of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Our physical bodies vibrate at a certain frequency. Spirit vibrates at a higher, faster frequency. Electronic devices operate on electromagnetic energy.
When a spirit wants to communicate, they can lower their vibration slightly while also influencing the electromagnetic field around a device. This creates interference. That interference shows up as a flickering light, a static-filled phone call, or a television that seems to have a mind of its own.
Some of the greatest minds in history, including inventors like Nikola Tesla, believed that electromagnetic communications could serve as a bridge to the spirit world. They weren’t crazy. They were ahead of their time.
How to Know If It’s Really a Sign
I get this question all the time: How do I know it’s actually my loved one and not just a coincidence or a faulty wire?
Great question. Here’s what I tell people:
Pay attention to timing. Did it happen when you were thinking about them? On their birthday? On the anniversary of their passing? Timing is everything.
Notice patterns. If the same light flickers every time you mention their name, that’s not random. Spirits are consistent.
Trust your gut. When it’s a real sign, you feel it in your bones. There’s a warmth, a knowing, a sense of peace that washes over you. Your intuition is more powerful than you realize.
Look for clusters of signs. Spirit rarely sends just one signal. If your lights flicker AND you smell their perfume AND a song comes on the radio, that’s a full conversation happening.
What to Do When You Receive an Electronic Sign
First of all, don’t be scared. This is not something to fear. Your loved ones aren’t trying to haunt you. They’re trying to comfort you, to let you know they’re still with you, and to remind you that love never dies.
When you notice a sign, take a moment to acknowledge it. Say hello out loud. Thank them for reaching out. You can even ask them questions and pay attention to what happens next. Spirit loves when we engage with them.
Some people like to keep a journal of these experiences. Writing down the date, time, and circumstances can help you see patterns over time. It also serves as a beautiful reminder during difficult days that you’re never truly alone.
You’re More Connected Than You Know
The world we live in is so much more magical than most people realize. Every day, spirits are reaching out through the devices we carry in our pockets and the appliances in our homes. They’re using technology as a telephone line to heaven.
If you’ve been experiencing strange electronic activity, take it as the gift it is. Someone who loves you is working hard to bridge the gap between worlds. They want you to know they made it safely to the other side, they’re watching over you, and they’ll never stop loving you.
If you want to learn more about recognizing signs from your loved ones, I encourage you to check out my online course Secret Signs from the Afterlife. It’s packed with everything I’ve learned about how spirit communicates and how you can strengthen that connection. You can also join me at one of my live events or online group readings where I help people just like you receive messages from the other side.
The static isn’t just noise. Sometimes, it’s love trying to find its way back to you.
With peace from the other side,
Matt Fraser
