„Radio Methods“ perhaps means a technique to find "Electronic voice  
phenomena"

"(EVP) are speech or speech-like sounds heard on electronic devices,  
but not heard in the environment at the time they are recorded. They  
are believed by some to be of paranormal origin. The term was coined  
by publishing company Colin Smythe Ltd in the early 1970s.[1]  
Previously the term “Raudive Voices” was used, after Dr. Konstantin  
Raudive whose 1970 book Breakthrough brought the subject to a wider  
public audience.

Hypotheses explaining EVP as normal audio effects include ordinary  
noise mistaken as voices, flaws in the recording devices which  
produce voice-like sounds, and radio frequency contamination.  
Paranormal hypotheses include psychic echoes from the past,  
psychokinesis unconsciously produced by living people, thoughts of  
spirits, and in rare instances, thoughts of aliens or nature spirits.  
EVP are a subset of instrumental transcommunication.

EVP are typically short, usually the length of a word or short  
phrase. Paranormal investigators use EVP as a tool in haunting  
investigations, and contacting the souls of loved ones. The basis for  
these uses are interpretive and not necessarily supported by science.  
Most investigations of EVP have been conducted by people with few  
academic credentials, and the scientific literature regarding EVP is  
very sparse.

References to EVP have appeared in the reality television show Ghost  
Hunters, the fictional Supernatural and the Hollywood films White  
Noise and The Sixth Sense."
