The process of recording a spirit's
voice on a digital recorder or
audiotape is referred to as EVP. EVP
stands for Electronic Voice
Phenomena. The idea behind EVP:
Go into an area that could contain
paranormal entities and have a
conversation with them Literally. Ask
them a question ,give them about 3
times longer than youd give a normal
person and ask them another
question. It isnt important to hear the
answer or response to the questions.
(If you do hear a verbal response this
is called DVP (Direct Voice
Phenomenon) and if that happens
you've hit the paranormal jackpot!)
When you have finished asking all of
your questions go home and rewind
your tape (if you used a tape
recorder). You might want to record
in short , one to five minute sessions
and review the tape at the location.
Listen carefully from the beginning to
the end for any thing out of the
ordinary . It is common in haunted
locations that the ghost answer the
questions but you have to listen
closely because the answers are not
always clear and they may even be
in a different language.
There are now a large number of
digital recorders (this is what most
ghost hunters prefer) on the market
that drastically cut listening time and
recorder far more clearer than a
cassette recorder.The voice
activation systems on a regular
cassette recorder will not pick up the
first word spoken.This basically
means if the entity said good day the
only recording you have the entity
saying is day. Digital audio recorders
do not have that problem. Digital
models record everything and that
includes the first word. Digital
recorders usually save you more time
and offer helpful features that
cassette recorders dont have such as
digital recording settings,recording
light indicators,file organizing
systems and easy delete functions
and lets not forget the nice back lit
LCD readout screens.
Although ghost hunters do have a
success with EVP recordings there
are some serious problems with
them that need to be addressed .
One key characteristic important with
EVP is the hunters listening process!
The recordings need to be reviewed
and carefully listened to several
times. The problem with that if you
hear something long enough you'll
begin to hear things. Dont forget you
need to weed out the back ground
noises , and the mighty power of
suggestion. Ghost hunters at times
hear what they want to hear and
thats when your groups EVP Tech or
Evp Specialist comes in. What
makes a good EVP specialist /tech
so crucial is that they are impartial
listeners , they also have no idea of
what questions were asked in most
cases so they would have no idea of
what type of answers to expect. This
makes their findings from the EVPs
practically authentic and i did say
practically because the legitimacy of
EVP recordings is impossible to
prove, regardless of what is recorded
due to the fact that critics usually say
that its just natural noises are rule
them out as hoaxes. There is no way
to prove they are wrong . There are
parapsychology theories that state
the voices are a form of unknown
psychic ability coming unknowingly
from the ghost hunter themselves!
Basically the ghost hunters thoughts
are being changed into a electrical
wave that only the recorders can pick
up. But there are a few holes in this
theory! There have been instances
where the voices recorded answer
questions that the ghost hunter has
no way of knowing at the time of the
recording. Its only later when the
ghost hunter does the research , that
they discover that the ghost was
correctly answering questions or had
provided accurate /valid information.
