Phantom Plastics is Michael Andrew Esposito who was born in Gary, Indiana in 1964. He is a descendant of Alfred Vail who invented the Morse Code and several early telegraph devices with his partner Samuel Morse. The invention of the telegraph sparked the spiritualist movement of the middle 1800s and the telegraph was used in spirit communication. Another ancestor, Jonathan Harned Vail, was office manager and assistant to Thomas Edison. Edison, in his later years attempted to develop a device for communicating with the dead. Esposito studied communication theory at Purdue University, University of Notre Dame, American University in Cairo, Egypt, and Governor’s State University. During the Gulf War Michael was a Psy-ops officer in Iraq.

Over the years, under the Phantom Airwaves Institution, Esposito has participated in hundreds of paranormal investigations all over the world. He has conducted extensive research at many active locations, developed a great deal of unique theory, and devised many unique experiments within the field of EVP. Focusing primarily on EVP research, he has collected tens of thousands of EVPs and video. He has had numerous television, radio, and newspaper appearances.

Working extensively with EVP’s relationship to experimental music, Esposito combines EVP with field recording and related frequency tones of research sites. He is currently published by Touch (UK).
