I can get EVP's

[wahrheit]

Is it only me, or do you guys and gals also have the impression that we are more or less talking to each other, I mean amongst us, in threads like this?

This smells of ostrich.

I think you mean the SkepticWiki page (unless that is also on the wikipedia page) But the article I linked to is not wikipedia proper, though it does run on the same software.

I stand corrected. I also sit corrected at times but I am not in the mood.

That actualy takes the award for the most ◊◊◊◊◊◊* crazy thing I have ever seen. What a lunatic. It is cute that victor sounds and speaks like yoda.

I wouldn't mind joing the Budgie Research Group, it sounds like a very lackadaisical way to spends ones day. Doubt there is much money it though.

The Budgie is cute, but the prize has gotta go to the Coffee Pot Ghost.

It is easy to mistake the skepticwiki for wiki proper, as they have the same skinning. I am working on a skin to customize the skepticwiki.

At least the budgie guys site is some what organized. I can't figure out what is going on with that site. I give it the worst website design award.

All I can gather is some lady is recording her coffee pot? Please tell me I am wrong.

Oh... so close... she indeed does record it and... there's ghosts in them there perculator.

You expect these folks to have coherent, organized presentations?

The coffee pot lady is either the world's wackiest woo or greatest prankster. Whichever it is, she started off with a few .wavs of her coffee pot grunting and groaning, and rapidly progressed to recordings of her own voice played backwards --- all of which she maintains emanate from the spirit world.

You also said that you have two photographs with "very obvious apparitions of people", which obviously prove to you that ghosts exist.

Upon asking you to post those pictures, you said "I don't have a scanner".

*yawn*

First of all, it wasn't two photographs, it is one photograph with two people in it.

Second, I never said it proved to me that ghosts exist.

Why do people keep assuming this? Would that prove it to you?

It doesn't prove anything to me. But they are there, so it must be something other than gas in the wind.

Third, I don't recall anyone specifically asking me to post the photo. Do you know of a way I can scan it online? Does Kinko's or Office Max do this? Someone did have it uploaded to a website at one time but I'm not sure it is still up (this picture interested quite a few people years back). I'll see if I can find it, though.

BTW, I believe that some of the EVP theories are stretching it a bit for explanations, but I'm sure some of them could be accurate.

In other words, the brain can fill in to hear things that may or may not be there.

Exactly, our senses are malleable, just like wahrheit's memory.

It's probably because you said you could get EVPs which implies that you believe that ghosts exist and think that your EVP recordings prove it.

Also, it may be something other than gas on the wind, but that doesn't automatically mean it's spectral voices either.

Did anybody else follow this link from the wikipedia EVP page?
http://aaevp.com/examples.htm

Take a look at their examples of faces, its almost sad how desperatly these people want to believe. They manipulate a blank wall to bring out a face.

As for EVP's or any other evidence you have it needs to be presented in an orderly manor with full disclosure of any work done to it, chain of custody, ect. Otherwise you are on your own pal.

You know what I notice? They use the worst examples of alleged ghost photography to make a point. There's an old tree in the woods by our house that looks like an old man with a long beard...sorry to disappoint the woo-hunters but that's all it is: a novelty.

That damn tv deal with the faces showing up on it, though...they said that face was the woman's dead sister? I'd throw that tv out. They tried to say that baby was taking it's first steps so the camera should have been more focused on the boy but it just looked like the boy was pulling up on the couch and the camera may have been pointed a little off, it has happened to me many times.
Even the author of that site admitted it was unusual if it wasn't tampered with.

And I had to look pretty hard to see a face on that wall. If it hadn't been pointed out I doubt I nor most others would have ever noticed it.

When I was reading that website I felt like I was reading a copy The Watchtower put out by the Jehova's Witnesses.

Let's see some more serious stuff than that.

 

[mayday]

The noises I got were specifically in response to two questions, what is your name? and how old are you? Both times the responses were made by what sounded like a little girl whispering into the microphone of the recorder.

We also got a stick being tapped on the wall.

I tend to think it there is anything like that which could exist at all what we are making contact with is nothing we would actually want to contact, like demons and evil spirits.
That's if. I'm not an unreasonable person. If someone could prove to me we were just getting reception from an episode of The Brady Bunch from two miles away (which is where the closest house was, I'd be willing to consider that's what it was.

You are certainly right about that. But wouldn't you like to know what it is, too?

 

[wahrheit]

First of all, it wasn't two photographs, it is one photograph with two people in it.

You definitely mentioned 2 (two) photographs. Number one was the one you took yourself, number two was the one the family of the bearded guy showed to you, which to you proved your photograph to show an "apparition". It's all in the other thread you started, so please don't deny it.

Second, I never said it proved to me that ghosts exist.

Semantics. Please read the other thread you started.

Third, I don't recall anyone specifically asking me to post the photo.

I asked you, specifically, if you had posted those pictures here or anywhere else. Again, please do looky looky at your other thread. It's right there.

Do you know of a way I can scan it online?

That's a joke question, right? How in the world should scanning a printed photograph possibly work online.

The picture the family gave me wasn't a ghost picture

Gee, whiz...

No, it isn't. I know you can load it to file then to a website, just don't know if it can be done as a service.

Which specific theories do you think could be accurate and why?

You seem to have a loose grasp of how technology works. Do you think this might have anything to do with your tendency to look to the supernatural as a likely explanation for things you don't understand?

 

[Apology]

You are certainly right about that. But wouldn't you like to know what it is, too?

I've listened to hundreds of EVP recordings and thus far, every one has been confirmation error---the person who recorded it was hearing patterns in the noises on the tape so that the noises sounded like voices. My favorite was the one that was clearly a caterwaul that was interpreted as a baby crying.

Damnit, I know damn well how it is loaded, I just don't have the equipment to do it. thaiboxerkenny said it wouldn't matter anyway because it would be a hoax.

I think theories of radio interference and signal interruption are plausible. But it still doesn't explain the (sometimes) interactive EVP's. I can't believe you have only been able to hear noise that was a different interperetation with each person who heard it, because the tape I have NO ONE had any doubt about what was said. The only confusion among everyone who heard it was did the thing answer "Ëlouise" or "Louise."? I will say I scoured the courthouse records for a girl who may have lived there by that or a similar name but came up with nothing. But what is heard on the recording is unmistakeable.
