The origin of these sounds is the reproduction of stone discs at 78 revolutions per minute in a gramophone. Later they were digitalized, recovering the original audio and separating it from the noises. The video contains a near-exact recreation of Beth Short’s final steps on the night she vanished, along Olive Street and Eighth Street, having two astonishingly rare views of the Crown Grill, the last place she was seen alive, on January 9, 1947.
