APPENDIX
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: I ATTEMPTED TO TRANSCRIBE THE MICROCASSETTES AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. TAPES FROM THE FIRST DAY OF INTERVIEWS WERE TRANSCRIBED IN THREE DRAFTS. THE SPIRIT VOICES HEARD ON THE TAPES HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY RANGE, ENCOMPASSING YOUNG AND OLD VOICES OF BOTH SEXES AS WELL AS DIALECTS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES. SOME SPIRIT MESSAGES AND UNATTRIBUTED SOUNDS WERE OVERLAPPING. SOME MESSAGES COULD NOT BE DISTINGUISHED AND SOME MAY HAVE GONE UNNOTICED. OTHERS MAY HAVE BEEN MISINTERPRETED. THE SPIRIT COMMENTS APPEAR IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND IN PARENTHESES. WHERE THE OKLAHOMA FAMILY IS CONCERNED, SOME ATTRIBUTIONS MAY BE INCORRECT.
