E.V.P. Electronic Voice Phenomena
Electronic Voice Phenomena is essentially unexplained sounds,
noises and most often words that are collected by paranormal investigators.
Electronic voice phenomena falls within the catergory of Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC).
This is when a ghost or spirit uses a device or instrument
(tape recorders,digital recorders, televisions, lights, fax machines or computers etc)
to communicate with the living
Most word EVP's will only consist of one or two words
or a string of words resembling a sentence.
Most of the voices that are collected are not really clear ,
quite often 2 people will hear 2 entirely different things.
So how do we go about recording E.V.P.'s ?
It's best to have your recording device in the center of the area where you are conducting the experiment.Do not walk around with it,
remember the recorder is going to pick up everything ,
so try and take audible notes of interference
(a dog barking, a car passing by, etc)
Try asking questions,be sure to give your “spirit or ghost” time to respond.
Wait several seconds before asking another question.
Remember you will not be able to physically hear the reply ,
you will have to play back your recordings to hear if you have a reply.
