(Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find this case mentioned anywhere on JREF by searching...)
I opened this Reddit thread recently about mysteries, and got quite a lot replies that were about mysteries I didn't know about before.
One of them was "the best damn EVP ever". This is an alleged recording of the voice of a Truck Company owner who (of course) died earlier. Read the description on this page, if you want to know more.
For a TL;DR version (sorry, too much Reddit
), read this:
The Trucking Companies owner died at his business of a heart attack, he had one pet peeve, that was people who smoke cigarettes, well, the scent of cigarettes sometime form in this one room, the building is totally smoke free and is far away from outside smoking areas.
The owner took pride in his business, and was rumored to be a workaholic; he lived, loved & died at his business.
(...)
On the clip, you will hear them comment about cigarette smoke, and then you will hear a LOUD Class A EVP state in a deep Male Voice "God Dammed Cigarette smoken(ers)”
I played the clip longer so you could hear Tammy’s voice, they actually are getting a hint of (smell) cigarette smoke, and then it goes away.
The sad thing is, he hated cigarettes so bad that that has become his trademark scent in death.
Take a listen, to this great EVP; no other EVPs were obtained at this location during this trip.
It's a bit annoying, that the actual recording is a wav file you have to download and then listen, no streaming available, but this is an old website, so I cut them some slack. Link to the recording.
OK, so here is my confusion: discounting the myriad ways this could have been faked and accepting that this is a voice beyond the grave... I fail to see the logic behind this.
This ghost hated the smell of cigarettes, so he created it paranormally for himself to react on? This seems a bit self-contained... Does he do this even if there are no paranormal researchers/voice recording devices around? Why does cigarette smoke bother him after his death in the first place?
Questions, questions, questions... What is the rationale behind these "a defining characteristic of a person survives even after the grave" stories? Granted, I don't know anything about the afterlife, but it's really likely I won't get annoyed about such things after I'm dead.
(Also, a note about this EVP-investigation site: they list many more "class A EVP-s", but they only have a story behind this cigarette one. I understand the fact, that this is the best, but I'd really like to have some background info on the rest...)
