 There
have been researchers attempting for decades to try and communicate
with the dead. Even Thomas Edison tried to build a machine to do this
in the 1920’s. We are not sure of the origins of voices that
are captured on various types of recording devices. These voices take
on diverse forms sometimes speaking clearly but usually they are
muffled, low tone whispers. Some spirits like or want to be heard and
will even answer direct questions from investigators, and then
sometimes an investigator will record something that is random and
makes no sense at all.
As with all paranormal study there is no 100% guaranteed answer to the
questions of EVP’s. Our experience with EVP shows us that
sometimes during an investigation a whisper or sound is heard by our
ears but is not recorded on voice recorders (disembodied voices).
Almost all recorded EVP’s we have were never heard at the
time they were captured. Some of the reason for this may be because of
background noise or more likely because these voices are not in the
audible range of the human ear but are caught by a more sensitive
recorder with a greater range of recording capability.
Hoosier Paranormal believes the best recording for EVP work are done
with Digital Voice Recorders but analog recorders can also be used.
Here are some helpful hints to do some recordings of your own:
1) Get some good software for cleaning up your evp,
there is a variety of free downloads out there.
2) Have a good set of earphones.
3) Keep talking to a minimum and NEVER whisper.
4) Be aware of your surroundings. The smallest
noise can be mistaken for an evp. Things such as wind, leaves, pets,
furnaces, and other appliances running can make for some pretty
interesting noises.
5) Keep an open mind when reviewing your
recordings. Always try to use a rational explanation for what you
recorded. Don’t put something out there as evidence unless
you can back it up.
6) When sharing your recording with someone try not
to tell him or her what it says. First let them listen and make a
decision based on what they heard. When you tell someone what a
recording says first they will almost always hear the same thing you
did, this is called Matrixing and is a normal function of the human
brain. We have posted evp,s and told people to give feedback as to what
they hear. Some of these results can be amazing.
