Overview

The Haunted Voice – Life After

By Todd Bates

Can the same voice that once haunted you... be the one that brings you home?

In The Haunted Voice – Life After, veteran paranormal researcher, radio host, and EVP specialist Todd Bates returns with an unforgettable memoir of collapse, awakening, and personal transformation. This is not just a sequel to The Haunted Voice – From Skeptic to Seeker of the Other Side—it is the raw, unflinching continuation of a journey that spans far beyond the boundaries of the paranormal and deep into the human soul.

Once a respected corrections officer and rising voice in the paranormal field, Todd's life took a devastating turn. Addiction. Shame. Arrest. The very walls he once guarded became his prison. But it was within that silence—stripped of status, identity, and freedom—that something began to stir again. A familiar presence. A whisper. A voice.

Not just from beyond the veil—but from within himself.

Told with brutal honesty, humility, and spiritual insight, The Haunted Voice – Life After invites readers inside the darkest and most redemptive chapters of Todd's life. Through every page, he reflects not only on his fall from grace but on how spirit communication—especially Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP)—offered a bridge back to his purpose.

This book explores:
• The emotional and spiritual fallout of incarceration
• The power of EVP to reconnect us with both the dead and ourselves
• The practical tools and ethics of modern paranormal investigation
• The role of skepticism, grounding, and intent in seeking truth
• The importance of building a personal code in spiritual practice

From detailed EVP recording techniques to chilling real-world experiences, Todd shares hard-won wisdom for investigators, skeptics, and anyone curious about the mysteries of what comes next. But more than that, this book is about rediscovery—of voice, of mission, of self.

Todd doesn't just recount ghost stories. He tells his story—the one that's been shaped by trauma, loss, and forgiveness. From his early years chasing answers in the static, to his time behind bars, to the founding of EVP Explorations—a platform for ethical spirit research and education—Todd invites you to walk alongside him through the shadows and into the light.

Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a believer searching for validation, or someone simply trying to rebuild their life, The Haunted Voice – Life After offers one universal truth:

You're not alone.

The spirits are real. The silence is meaningful. And the voice you've been waiting to hear—might just be your own.

About the Author

Todd Bates is a seasoned paranormal researcher, EVP specialist, radio host, and author whose life and work are grounded in one guiding principle: truth through listening. With over two decades of experience investigating unexplained phenomena, Todd has earned the respect of both believers and skeptics for his ethical, evidence-based approach to the field of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP).

But Todd’s story is far more than that of a paranormal investigator—it’s one of personal transformation, resilience, and redemption.

Before stepping into the paranormal spotlight, Todd served as a corrections officer, working behind prison walls in one of the most challenging environments imaginable. He was known for his focus, discipline, and rising career in public safety. But a single moment of desperation changed the trajectory of his life. A mistake led to his arrest, his incarceration, and the sudden loss of everything he thought defined him—his job, his reputation, and his freedom.

It was in the silence of confinement that Todd heard a different kind of voice—not a disembodied whisper from the other side, but a stirring from within. In that stillness, he reconnected with the same phenomena that first ignited his curiosity years before: EVP. And from that moment, he began to rebuild—not just his life, but his mission.

Todd is the founder of EVP Explorations, an educational platform dedicated to helping others understand, investigate, and engage with EVP and other aspects of spirit communication responsibly. Through live broadcasts, in-depth field work, and free online resources, he has created a community for seekers, survivors, and skeptics alike—those who want to explore the unknown with discernment, ethics, and open minds.

He is also the host of EVP Explorations with Todd Bates, a live show that brings together voices from all corners of the paranormal world. His interviews highlight not just ghost stories, but the real people behind them—those who, like Todd, are searching for meaning in the unexplained.

Todd is the author of two books: The Haunted Voice – From Skeptic to Seeker of the Other Side and its follow-up, The Haunted Voice – Life After, which documents his personal fall and spiritual reawakening. Together, these works reflect the heart of his message—that we are all haunted, not just by the dead, but by the questions we’re too afraid to ask.
