ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA

(EVP) is the attempt to recognize noises that can sometimes be heard or recorded on various types of electronic equipment. and that come from an unknown source. Since these noises can sound like voices of different kinds, and can sometimes even seem to call paranormal researchers by name, comment about activities taking place during the time they are being recorded, or even speak directly to researchers and answer their questions, many believe these are the voices of actual ghosts. Others speculate that perhaps they're a projection of the subconscious mind of the living, through as as yet undefined process. Of course there are those researchers who are so eagerto find evidence of the existence of ghosts that they will impose meaning onto random noise, and even among those who believe in the existence of ghosts, the meanings of these sounds is often in question. The one thing that does seem clear is that in many instances, a natural explanation for them cannot be easily found, and that due to their unusual and often seemingly aware nature, they are worthy of further exploration.

To entice you to listen to more, here is our favorite EVP, collected from the Hula Moon Salon in Enumclaw, WA. We got several clear EVPs whose text directly relates to what the investigators were doing, and shows that the spirits were aware of the humans:

“I see out and I see what happens.” – This was caught on 2 audio recorders AND video. One of the best EVPs we’ve ever captured. This comes in regard to our sensitive picking up the presence of a spirit as if looking out from the mirror.
