EVPs?

[Klimax]

If you still have it around, try a longer, much longer, antenna. The one I had as a kid had a piece of wire about 10 metres long.

Sadly,no longer,but it would be interesting what results woúld be nowadays...

You won't find shielding in any consumer electronic product for under $1000.

I know. Or signanls are very weak there to go directly through taperecorrding part,but are sufficently strong to get in radio and through leak to tape.
(But I for some reason don't think this is too likely...)

Voices are produced by the movement of air past our vocal chords. How can an immaterial "ghost" produce voices when they don't have the required "mechanism" to do so?

The same way they move things without hands, produce footsteps without feet, heat signatures without heat, and can hear you without ears.

Paranormally!

Its not about vocal chords and air with ghosts. Its more like an i-phone at work, only smaller. Or at least that's what one is telling me to type.

Taking to the dead..... another bit of parastupid

E.V.P. was "Discovered" by a man who was recording bird song. When he was listening to the playback he heard the voice of a recently dead person. This is a common setup for the hearing of things that are "paranormal". When a person is in a state caused by grief and wanting to talk to the person who has died, and then exposed to something that could be mistaken for sounds, images, etc... they will hear what they are trying so desperatly wanting to. This is the same for people in "E.V.P. Research". They want to hear voices in the random noise so they condition themselves into hearing the responses that they want to hear.
If you talk to most people who are in the paranormal field you will discover that they usually lost a loved on just before getting into the research and use it to help cope with the loss.

And..... If you are doing any research on EVP make sure to understand that Thomas Edison did not try to talk to the dead. This is another rumor started by the "EVP Researchers" that don't check facts.


Some great samples of this are the Franks Box (Telephone to the dead), EVP Maker Software, The "Paranormal puck" and soo many more.

When I was just out of college and an underpaid music teacher with two kids, I spent a couple of years as the organist for a local church. I quickly learned to turn the old Hammond B2 (yes, with the Leslie speaker) off during the sermon, unless I wanted the parishioners to hear "Breaker 1-9" in the middle of the sermon.

It doesn't need to be electronics. I once lived in a dorm room with a window air conditioner that made noises very similar to a few people whispering, not clearly audible under the rest of the AC's noise.

I did a little pareidolia test with a physics class last spring and posted the results in a thread about a Martian skull photo. In what was supposed to be a very clear EVP saying, "I'm here," only 1 student in 26 actually heard that message. It did sound very much like speech, but if you listen to enough random noises that'll happen sooner or later.

How many times have you been at home alone and thought you heard someone say your name from another room? If it's a ghost every time, they must not have much to do with their (after)lives, cause they never seem to do anything more than say your name then leave you alone. My washing machine is particularly good at saying, "Jason."
