From Merriam-Webster
Main Entry: mi·cro·phone
Pronunciation: 'mI-kr&-"fOn
Function: noun
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary
: an instrument whereby sound waves are caused to generate or modulate an electric current usually for the purpose of transmitting or recording sound (as speech or music)
You’re missing something there.
Quick scenario: If a tape recorder is recording and a microphone is attached, the tape records sounds incoming from the microphone (actual words, music, background noise, etc).
Use the same tape recorder and record with the microphone unattached.
Is there still ‘noise’ recorded?
Next take a brand new tape and place it in the recorder and play it. Is the ‘noise’ generated substantially different that what was generated while recording without a microphone? Why?
Remember you aren’t trying to record any voices without the microphone attached.

If you know something please...
O.K. given your scenario are you saying that you will pick up relatively the same stuff using a mic as you would with out a mic...and are you saying that the mic is picking up stuff from the electromagnetic spectrum like sound files from tv, radio, cb's??
You have to be pretty direct with me, becuase I am too eager to understand that I make misconnections easily...

Re: Didnt' mean to rain on your parade guys
You've got to wonder why "the dead"TM. Dont makethemselves known more easily? You state its not easy for them as they are in another dimension? So they somehow manage to travel through dimensions, across time etc. and can only then manage to squawk through a tape recorder-that's after the sounds have been deciphered(usually using a second machine)
Taking this into account,how is it they can speak to mediums quite clearly? Surely there is no middle ground.Communication is universal,if a spirit can clearly "talk" to a medium why would they need to talk via the microwave.
I regularly hear strange sounds,distant voices on radios,but thats because I used to listen to LW radio.scriptcoc said:I quess that is the end of this thread then?? And not one of you has actually recorded anything out of the ordinary on a tape recorder, nor had any paranormal contact from a deceased person
and for the most part beleive that people who claim to talk to the dead are self deceptive....O.K. then, quess there is really no more to add to that then......thanks again for contributingEmily's mom

I am just wondering...
about all of this Big Circle Recording Group stuff.....originally the person who captured this deceased persons voice was using a computer and captured...I'm still here.....in her friend Cathy's voice..she then told this Cathy's mom, who picked the story up from there and expanded on it with all of the subsequent recordings from her daughter....so this person, Cathy has been audible to many different people through different media....and captured on film as well.....I know.....it sounds too hookey to be true, but what can I tell you......if interested go to aaevp.com and then click on the Big Circle recording group there you will find postings of evp's from Cathy and those in the spirit world who have joined her to help form this communication bridge....I don't know,,,,what do you think of all of this???

I don't really have anything to add to the discussion but I do want to express my condolences to scriptcoc on the loss of your child. I can only imagine how difficult that is and how much you would want to connect and have reassurance that she is fine. Letting go and accepting a loss is the hardest thing we do. I wish you healing.
Thanks to Truth Seeker
Ya, me too.....and this reminds me of a women I met once in a nursing home...she was acting very sad and kept to herself all day so finally someone asked her what was wrong...she said that this was the day her little girl died,,,,,but this women was 93 years old so the intern asked...when did this happen and she remarked...just yesturday and she was just 14 years old...all I can say is that the mind knows no time when it comes to love. you think your all grieved out then something or someone reminds you and its like starting all over....

Re: Thanks to Truth Seeker
While I agree with this in large part, it is also possible to move forward to some degree, to rebuild a life. My concern is that people get so caught up in contacting the deceased they prolong their grief (like picking at a wound) and they miss so many opportunities to have contact with the living.
Best wishes to you. Take care.

unexposed film in canisters sealed in a locked box were later developed and had on them writings from someone or something along with a blueprint for some type of two way communication device between us and those in the spirit world....so is it true I wonder...must not be that is all I am saying, if it were true, then we would all know about it by now...but isint' it true on the other hand that the learning curve for something drastically new is like 5 years for those of us over 30?

Re: I am just wondering...
First and foremost, welcome and enjoy!
The thing that always strikes me as odd about any paranormal activity--be it EVP, ESP, dowsing, etc.--is that if it was verifiable and repeatable, why hasn't everything changed? Why are we not all reading each other's minds, or interacting with the dead as easily as you and I are, or moving books from end of the room without physically touching them (and I don't mean yelling to your kids to get you the TV Guide because you're too lazy to get up!)
In other words, our growing understanding of the world around us over the past centuries has changed how we live our day-to-day lives in profound ways. The fact that we know the earth to be round, that it revolves around a star, and that star is one of billions upon billions in the universe opened the doors of understanding for everyone. We no longer had to rely on someone else telling us that the world is flat and that everything revolved around our planet because it was a way to justify one small group of people's control over an entire populace.
Now I'm not saying that the people who espouse EVP are doing it so they can control your life; far from it. But it is the quest for understanding--the ability to step back and say, "Wait a minute. Is this how things really are?"--that you should apply to things like EVP, horoscopes, dowsing, feng shui and the like. And the best is, you don't need special training or, in many cases, expensive equipment to reach the same conclusion that most of us here have. That conclusion: that things like EVP and ESP are nothing more than wishful thinking. That horoscopes are no more valid or accurate than reading animal entrails. That just because you see something you're unfamiliar with in the night sky doesn't automatically mean it's piloted by little green men (or little grey ones, either). And the list goes on and on.
So by all means, feel free to jump into threads and start them as well. Understand, though, that when people ask you for verifiable, repeatable evidence, they're not doing it to embarrass you, but to help you along the way, to get you to think independently. It's also a great lesson to pass along to your children: think for yourself!

There's a site called Bad Astronomy and the main story is about horoscopes and astronomy. It's an excellent read. http://www.badastronomy.com/

Tell me scriptcoc why the spirits of your loved ones would want to make it so hard for you to hear them? Why communicate through static noise,which is horrible to listen to generally? Why not clear and audible through as if they were in the room? Who says its difficult for them to communicate anyway
Ghosts materialize alledgedly.
Poltergeists can move objects.
Spirits can communicate via trance mediums,using their own voices,we're led to believe.
Bearing in mind that all the above are just dead poeple,why would your loved one choose to "talk" through white noise.C'mon it's stretching things even for a believer.

Re: To all
That's not what I meant and I'm sorry if I've offended you.
Everyone grieves their own way, there is no right or wrong.
The issue is acceptance of the loss. This is something I've struggled with tremendously too. One book I found useful (written from a Buddhist perspective) was "Letting go of the person you used to be" by Lama Surya Das.
I'm so sorry if I hurt you. That was not my intention.
