instrumental transcommunication (ITC)

ITC is the alleged communication of spirits via various instruments such as the television, computer hard drive, fax machine, tape recorder, video camera, digital camera, and the like. Skeptics consider these communications to be hoaxes or due to liberal interpretations of natural phenomena.
