Burns plays EVP recordings captured on an obsolete BlackBerry with its radio disabled. At Arthur Smith Antiques, a voice responds "hey, you, come inside." A recording on the shop owner's death anniversary captures "I'm with God." Outside 432 Abercorn, cackling laughter comes through before the Skype connection fails. At an Atlanta plantation house, an unearthly screech follows a voice saying "go." Burns's own name is called in clipped fashion at Calhoun Square, something he says happens so regularly he has lost count. At the Mercer Williams house from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a voice says "fall" when Burns addresses Tommy Downs, an 11-year-old who fell from the roof in the 1960s.
A night of recordings from a city whose dead have no intention of staying quiet.
