Biography
Thomas "Tommy" Daniel Golden was born in Kennesaw, Georgia in 1974 at WellStar Kennestone Hospital He is a direct descendant of Billy Golden (William B. Shires) born June 9, 1858 and died January 29, 1926: a blackface minstrelsy performing artist that recorded with many partners including Arthur Collins, George Graham, Jim Marlowe, Billy Heins, and his vaudeville partner, Joe Hughes. Tommy began studying communications at Middle Tennessee State University where his research into the paranormal realm began.
In 2007 Tommy began to research Electronic Voice Phenomena full time with the help of Patti Starr who began to show Tommy how to record voices from the other side. By 2009 Tommy began to research vocal patterns and noted within a research document that Electronic Voice Phenomena"EVP's had their own style and type to vocal pattern.
During a research trip to the Old South Pittsburg Hospital located 25 miles north of Chattanooga, Tennessee Tommy began testing a new theory of memory persistence. The theory, in part, is based on familiarization, believing that if spirits occupying the location recognize the environment or something positive within it, they will become active and possibly show themselves in some form. The method is usually put into action by playing music of different eras, or one exact era if you're focusing more on an individual situation. For example, if you're in a haunted ballroom from the early 1900's, you might play music from that era. If you're in a haunted hotel or saloon in Nevada, then the music of choice would most likely be western music.
Using the memory persistence theory Tommy has documented sudden and frequent changes in spiritual communications via Electronic Voice Phenomena. Documented results were very clear that energy that once was stored inside of the living body does in fact get stored in places with a strong emotional hold. Using the right level of emotional sounds will reintroduce the living energy to the Zero-point energy. The best example noted by Tommy would be playing a recording of heart monitor that goes from normal to flatline inside of an abandoned hospital.
Education and Early Career
Tommy attended Cloverleaf Elementary School but transferred to White Elementary School in White, Ga after moving to a different side of Bartow County with his parents. Not too long after this major move Tommy saw is first car accident where a person had died and was pulled out of the car with him watching. Tommy's family members explain that this is when he began to read, research, and learn about death and dying. During his early school years Tommy would save his money to buy monster books at local book fairs. Many of his friends say that this is when Tommy's passion grew towards the horror genre. By the age of 11 Tommy wrote his first horror short story which is school did not really understand or appreciate.
After K-12 education was completed Tommy moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee where he attended Volunteer State Community College where he studied fire science and technology. During his studies he volunteered for a local volunteer fire department. This is where he really got to see death up close and personal, his first call was a fatality on the interstate where he had to assist with removing a deceased woman of of a crashed and burnt car. After graduation at Volunteer State Community College Tommy attended Middle Tennessee State University where he studied Audio Production. This is where Tommy got a firm understanding of sound.
In 1995 Tommy began a police officer in a small town in Tennessee where he worked until 2003. During his time as police officer Tommy worked his way up in the ranks from patrolman to detective lieutenant in which he solved many small and large crimes. Working in the law enforcement field he learned how to investigate with logic and dismissing the unexplained. In 2003 due a personal injury he had to move to the private sector and began to work for Saint Thomas Health Services. In early 2011 due to economic issues his job was eliminated leaving him unemployed.
