More about Todd Bates

Chances are you would have found him in a mysterious abandoned home, walls yellowed by age and doors teetering precariously on their hinges. Maybe a murder occurred or perhaps a fire. Whatever the case, Todd Bates was on the scene for a singular task: listening for the voices of the dead.  Now retired from the field, Todd takes his knowledge gained and shares it with his amazing audience on his radio show Haunted Voices.

Todd’s Passion is and forever will be EVP.  Electronic Voice Phenomenon (commonly referred to as “EVP”) are spirit voices captured on a digital or analog recording device that was not heard with the naked ear. For Todd, collecting this specialized evidence of paranormal origin is a life calling. After years of personally investigating the mysteries of EVP and studying under pioneering figures in the field, Sarah Estep, and Jason Snider he took his passion to the internet. Now in its 18th year, Haunted Voices has quickly grown to be one of the oldest paranormal talk shows on the internet today.

Todd Bates now owns and operates WLTK-DB Talk Radio, a paranormal talk digital radio station, and broadcasts live and original programming to its ever-growing audience of like-minded people.

Appeared on WTWO (NBC Affiliate).

Radio: A broadcasting school graduate, Todd currently has 17 years of broadcasting experience under the Haunted Voices Radio brand and enjoys discussing all things paranormal with his guests and audience.   Todd’s radio hosting career began with Dr. Ed Craft of Magick Mind Radio (An IBC Network Program). He was offered a co-host spot with Dr. Jimmy Lowery of “Alabama Para Spiritual Radio” (APSR Radio). He was then given the opportunity to host his own live show on the BBS Radio Network where he discussed all topics paranormal. He has since appeared on The Man Cow Show, WTAY FM, WTYE AM Crawford County, IL, WZPL 99.5 Indianapolis, IN, X-zone Radio, Voice of America, and The Jeff Rense Show. Each has been a valuable experience to share his vast knowledge of the paranormal.

He also appeared on Real Haunts: Ghost Towns and Real Haunts 3. Join us LIVE at 9pm cst as we delve into the paranormal!

Jeff has been interested in the paranormal for years. However, in 2016, he took a class called Ghost Hunting 101, where he made some good contacts. He quickly joined a busy local team and remained with them for two years. The team was out investigating several days a week during that two year period, which meant that he gained considerable experience in a short time.  

In 2019, Jeff founded Boo Productions Paranormal, with a vision to share the history of locations through ghost stories.  He is currently working on several stories for this project.  An important aspect of Jeff's team is private investigations, which they take very seriously.  As much as he loves telling a good paranormal story, Jeff considers that helping people is the most important part of what they do.  

Jeff joined the Warren Legacy Foundation in 2021 to both share his experiences and to learn from a group of very experienced individuals.  Jeff believes that the combined experience of the Foundation's members means that it will have an answer for everything, being a group of individuals with a very diverse set of backgrounds and skills.  

The Warren Legacy Foundation bears a well-known and highly respected name, and will always seek out the truth, with integrity.  The ethical treatment of anyone seeking help is the most important aspect of any paranormal research.
