EVP - The Voices of the Dead
Ever since I was a little girl I was very interested in the paranormal. There are many ways to investigate a haunting, but one of my favorites is using EVP. EVP is the voices of the dead recorded in a tape recorder, but it can actually be heard after you play the tape and not while you were recording.
There are so many cases of recorded EVP's and with the technology that we have today we can actually use this technique more often in any paranormal investigation.
What Is EVP?
Electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) are electronically captured sounds that resemble speech, but are not the result of intentional voice recordings. Common sources include static, stray radio transmissions and background noise. Some people claim these sounds are of paranormal origin, while there are natural explanations such as apophenia (finding significance in insignificant phenomena), auditory pareidolia (interpreting random sounds as voices in their own language), equipment artefacts, or simple hoaxes. Recordings of electronic voice phenomena are often created from background sound by increasing the gain (i.e. sensitvity) of the recording equipment.
According to parapsychologist Konstantin Raudive, who popularized the idea, EVP are typically brief, usually the length of a word or short phrase.

EVP - Voices of The Dead
E.V.P. - VOICES OF THE DEAD
FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/JamieExeter REMEMBER: I am only talking to the spirit through the Ouija Board, nothing else. But for some reason the spirit/s seem to say the words whilst moving the Placette. And if you think its fake, I could have thought of more words than just yes or no answers. But obviously, i have no control what they say, anything is better than nothing. Most people think evps are just voices you can hardly hear and its full of white noise. And you have to use software to make out what its saying. There called Class C evps. I have hundreds of evps like this, but i dont post them as there not good evidence. Here i have posted class A evps. Class A evps are crystal clear spirit voices. Just because most people dont post this type of evp, dont mean you cant get them. Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) refers to the purported manifestation of voices and sounds of paranormal origin on electronic media such as radios and tape recorders. Proponents of EVP commonly attribute the phenomenon to communication from ghosts or spirits, although others have suggested alien communications or psychokinesis from the living as possible explanations.

- I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, but how do you know that EVP's as associated with ghosts or spirits? We are literally surrounded by radio waves of all kinds (TV, phones, radios, etc.), and why would you assume that spirits would choose this means (or even be able to use them) to communicate with us?

- Evps are interesting in the use of investigation. From what I have read and heard from those who do investigations is that its not wise to do EVP's in one's own home frequently.
Some say it opens a door and allows bad spirits into ones place. I've personally never have done an EVP session but I think I will take up that advice lol. Good explaination by the way.
