OMG...EVP

One of the more fascinating ideas in parnarmal investigation is audible.  EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) is disembodied voices captured on a recording device. Its some of my personal favorite types of evidence out there. Of course, I think everyone enjoys a great bit of video evidence, but for me, getting an answer to a question cannot be disputed. A strange light going up a wall or a shadow caught moving on film will always be questionable, but when you ask a question what is your favorite color, then play back your recorder and hear a male voice saying "green", well... try to figure THAT one out. :)

My first attempt at EVP happened before I joined API. Back in January of 2009. I ventured to a hotel that had claims of hauntings with some friends and we attempted to capture some evidence. When I reviewed the recordings, I was shocked at what I heard. One very impressive EVP caught was a whispered female voice that said  "cold....freezing". Another great one that night was in a room where my friend Joy had set up a microphone on a mic stand and the voice said "would you be so kind as to turn the mic up". A definite sign that there was an intelligent haunt going on. The entity was commenting on something that we brought into the room!!! And by "intelligent", I mean just that...a haunting where the spirit/ghost what have you, is aware of their surroundings and can interact/communicate with the living. I will dive deeper into the different types of hauntings in another post! So stay tuned!!

Reviewing evidence is always a thrill. I know, some may think it's boring to sit listening to hours of silence, waiting for those few seconds where something might pop up.  But that's just it, isn't it? The thrill of discovery. I've heard ghost hunting described as 8 hours of boredom for 10 seconds of exhilaration.  But i'm telling you folks those 10 seconds are worth a hundred hours. Of course evidence is only a small fraction of the process of investigating and the true thrill lies in helping a client become happy and comfortable once again in their home. :)

Here are a few links to browse and hear for yourself some EVP.
