From the Committee for Sceptical Inquiry website, in an article about a guy who is marketing an untunable radio as a means for communicating spirits and aliens.
Sumption believes that the Frank’s Box is not the sole means by which he is contacted by entities. He believes he has psychic abilities, revealing that he has “visions” and also hears “voices” through his television, through running water, and that he even hears messages in his head, such as his wife calling him to dinner. He also invented the Video-Box, a device made from a VCR tuner module, with which he claims to have captured an image of a “Man In Black.”
Sumption contends that his devices provide “proof of an afterlife.” However, he insists that the phenomenon is “not paranormal,” which to him refers to magic and witchcraft. To Sumption, Frank’s Box is technology. “It functions on the quantum level,” he explained.
“What do you mean by ‘quantum’?” I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and admitted, “I don’t know.”
No further comment necessary I feel.
