EVP, also known as Electronic Voice Phenomena is one of the most fascinating areas of the paranormal I have yet to come across. It is theorized that the voices of spirits can be recorded when they interrupt an Electro Magnetic Field, (E.M.F's). Recordings can pick up these voices, but they are inaudible to the human ear.
Though there are times in which the human ear can hear the voices when they are recorded, most of the time, those who are doing the recording can hear nothing until they play it back.
Many EVP recordings are hard to make out and may be drowned out by static. Though you can hear some type of voice, you can’t really be sure, nor understand what the voice is saying. Other recordings are extremely clear, and sometimes eerie.
One strange thing about these recordings is that many of them appear to be stuck in a certain time period, as if they are still living in the time in which they were alive and don’t understand that they are dead. This is sometimes obvious by what the voices are saying. You may have one that says something about having to keep an eye out for his horse.
At other times, it appears that by what they say that they do know that they are dead, and seem to be somewhat lost, or frustrated by their attempt to communicate with the living.
Most researchers believe that you can pick up EVP in nearly every location, but places noted for paranormal phenomena do tend to be hot spots for EVP.
I have to admit that when I first heard of this phenomenon, I was a little skeptical about it. So after researching how to record EVP, I did try it myself and was amazed at what came out on the recording. I used my computer to record it, and though I got a lot of fuzzy white noise and inaudible voices, I was able to come up with a couple of clear voices. I did this when nobody was in the house, and it was late at night to ensure that no noise from outside would interfere.
I will be posting a couple of these recordings to show you what I came up with.
After experiencing this myself, I no longer doubt that this is possible; I am just not quite sure what the source is. There is some speculation that it is airwaves being picked up, but in some cases there appears to be real interaction between the investigator and the voice being recorded. Such as in the one I will post, I asked what the person’s name was.
In any case, no matter what is behind EVP, it is very interesting.
