November 20, 2011

Thank you all for your patience!  My BRILLIANT husband has got us all set up on a new hosting site, so we should be set for the rest of our journey.  The new host has you download it from a safe and secure website - you should be all set.  Tonight, I will post findings from the November 20th, and tomorrow I will go and link all past EVPs to their new home.  Thanks again for your patience!

EVPs BELOW!!

The morning started out great!  I woke up super early - about 4 am - but was feeling good!  I decided to start wrapping Christmas presents in the kitchen.  I had Christmas music playing and was having a nice time.  My husband came down around 7 am, and made breakfast.  He was walking through the kitchen from the laundry room and we were talking so I was looking at him when we both saw a pen fly from the family room area (basically out of NOWHERE) and hit him in the chest!  Luckily he was relaxed about it and called out, "You could have thrown some paper, too!  I guess he was walking through to find a pen and paper to create a shopping list!  While it was a little shocking, we found it quite humorous.  He did tell me that we HAD to do an EVP session today because our spirits had WAY too much energy!  So, when he took my son to Sunday School, I said my Prayer of Protection and recorded while I continued wrapping.  It was NOT ideal recording conditions - I left the Christmas music playing and I discovered about 10 minutes into it that my husband had left a TV on in the living room (which I, of course, turned off).  We still caught EVPs, but they are not as credible as others, because of the background noise.  I will post them at the end for you die-hards (bad pun?).  Later in the morning, everyone was out of the house - except me and trusty ol' Prancer.  I was done wrapping at this point, so the conditions were ideal.  No TVs, no music, no other people.
The first one is right after I have finished my prayer and I say, "That was me praying."  As I say, "praying" a voice says, "Jerk."  So what you actually hear is, "That was me (jerk)praying."  Again with a negative comment around my religious one.
Jerk

The next one is pretty awesome.  I am home alone.  It is quiet.  Listen for the man to call my name - I can't believe I didn't hear this at the time!
April

The next clip is a classic EVP.  In the silence, you will be able to hear a man whisper, "Do you hear me?" followed by a woman whispering, "What?"  I am unsure if the glass clink after is me or paranormal, so in the words of Ghost Hunters, "When in doubt, throw it out."  The glass clink, that is - NOT the voices.
Do You Hear Me? What?

The last clip reminds me of the movie, Inception. There are layers of voices - test your skill!  When I cut and saved this clip, I only heard the top layer.  My husband was able to listen behind the usual voices to hear even more.  When it begins, you hear me walk into the room.  When I enter, you will hear them calling out my name - in various voices and volumes - none above a whisper, though.  At about :08, there is a deeper, male voice, that claims, "I love her."  Followed by a louder male voice that responds, "Do you?"  Try it - see how many you are able to hear!
Layers
.
.
.
As promised, I will also post some clips from the first EVP session that day.  These technically should be thrown out as evidence, because there is Christmas music playing and a TV (a few rooms away) for a portion of the recording.  BUT, there are still voices, and that is always at least interesting to listen to!

The first clip has the music playing and me walking.  Listen towards the end for a shout out to my mom again...
Judy
 The next clip is pretty easy to hear.  The music is quiet, TV is off, and you can hear a man and a woman calling out my name.
April April
The next clip is a little longer than usual.  This one has both the music playing, me singing, and a TV on in the other room.  But you can tell the difference, or at least I can.  I ask, "Are you married?" to which he responds, "Yes, I am."  That is my favorite part.  After that, it just gets weird.  My husband can hear him singing along to Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire - the spirit is singing just seconds ahead of Bing Crosby. There is also a loud NO and a metallic-sounding message to me which I can't decipher.
Are You Married?
Here's an odd one.  Figure this out....These are not grade A EVPs, you have to really listen a few times.  But right away, you can hear, "This could be the end," followed by a "F@ck it" and at the end, "Get your tickets now."  WTF?
Get Your Tickets
The last one is a TOUGH one, but it so sweet and endearing, I have to post it.  I have mentioned that I feel James Bemis is one of our residents here.  I have found that he owned our house off and on from the late 1800's until the early 1900's.  When I asked him earlier what he likes to be called, he responded James.  I did some digging through county obituaries and was not able to find James, but I found a Gertrude Bemis who lived in this county during that time frame.  In this clip I ask James directly if he was married to Gertrude and he responds softly, lovingly, "Gertrude, my Gertrude."
Gertrude, My Gertrude

Thank you again to our fans and followers!  Keep listening and feel free to make comments...Tomorrow, I will get the older clips re-connected for you!  Good night.

Update

Just wanted to let you all know that we have been working on getting a new host for our data so that we can continue!  Please be patient...this issue WILL BE RESOLVED today!  Thanks again!

Server Down

Hello!  Just wanted to give you all a quick update...we are still recording EVPs, and I have 2 days worth ready to post but unfortunately the server we use to store them is temporarily down.  Please be patient - they said that they are working on it and will have the EVP links up and running shortly.  Until I post new EVPs, feel free to read our past history and we welcome any discussions!  Thank you for your patience and interest - we ALL will be talking with you soon!

EVPs BELOW!!

I feel the need to apologize to our followers and fans for the absence of postings.  Besides the holiday, I contracted an ear infection, so I have been unable to put ear buds in to review the evidence,  Thanks to my Uncle Tom and Aunt Tina, I am on the mend and finally can post a few more EVPs for you!

After the 15th and the prayers of protection, the house began to feel warmer.  Safer.  Quieter.  My teenage daughter even commented that it felt, "Boring."    On the 17th, my daughter came to us and told us that she felt that our spirits feel "sad."  I told her that our well-being takes precedence, but I would do an EVP session soon to let them express what they need to share.

I decided to only do a short recording at 9:47 am.  I set the digital voice recorder to tape in the living room, sitting on the printer (which is shut off).  I am home alone with my dog, and there is no TVs or phone calls.  There were not nearly the crazy amount of EVPs found on this recording, but of course, there were quite a few.

One of the clearest and funniest is this first one.  Our site has a HUGE amount of followers from Russia, and even a few from Germany and Malaysia.  This clip I believe goes out to those Russians - either they know you are listening or they were playing another soccer game...At :03 you will hear a soft whisper.  At :06 a man CLEARLY says, Russian Love.
Russian Love

The next clip is a quiet one.  As for most, if you don't have ear phones or ear buds, you might not hear them as they are GHOST WHISPERS.  Listen close at :02 for a man whispering, 'I am not a kid," followed by "April" at :08.
I am not a kid, April

The next one I find pretty creepy.  I am SO glad I didn't listen to it right away...You will hear a series of bangs, and I can't say for sure that they are not house noises - so ignore them.  But don't ignore the whisper at :04 that says, "Come on," and then at :07, "look behind you."  You can then hear footsteps at :17 - all while I am sitting quietly at my computer.
Come On, Look Behind You. Followed by Footsteps.

The next one is pretty easy to hear.  At :12 you will hear a soft, yet clear female say, "I know who."
I Know Who

The next one is soft, so wear your ear buds!  At :02 I clear my throat (the start of my illness?) and immediately after a man says, "What...was that?" from :04-:07.   Then WAY at the end, :25 there is a super soft, "April."
What Was That?

The next one is super short, but I wanted to add it as it ties in with the clip above.  Again, I clear my throat, but this time the man whispers, "It's rough."
It's Rough

This next clip again features the man speaking.  At :04 he says, "Tell our names."
Tell Our Names

Following the clip above we strike gold!  Woo-Hoo!  Again, we get proof that one of the previous owners from 100 years ago is one of our spirits.  In case you haven't been following along, finding history on our home is VERY difficult.  I was able to find one owner that had possession of our home three separate times between 1894 & 1920 (James Bemis).  I have caught his name once before and here, at :11 you can hear him whisper, "I am James."  If you listen a little longer you can FINALLY hear him say, "Jon" (one of the men in our family) at :23. Or maybe my other big fan - my dad.  At last, the boys are addressed!!
I am James. Jon.

The last one is not considered an EVP, but is a collection of evidence.  I am seating the whole time.  My tiny 13 lb. dog is sitting behind me.  At :07, I begin looking through papers and :17 you hear two loud footsteps, as though someone was in boots.  I make a comment about it right after - that the sound came not from the living room.
Bootsteps

November 15, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!!

After the 8th, things felt pretty "normal."  At least, until Saturday.  Saturday, November 12, 2011, I was awakened about 12 am, and I have no reason why.  I ended up getting up and staying up most of the night/morning.  My husband was on edge throughout the day and night - he kept hearing knocks and voices in the kitchen and living room.  Sunday night, I went to bed early for work and was awakened at 10:30 pm for unknown reasons.  I couldn't get back to sleep.  I had taken my Ambien at 7 pm that night like I always do, but it had NO affect on me.  I finally gave up and went downstairs to watch TV on the couch.  At 12:40 am, I heard someone get out of bed and come to the stairs - the proceed down.  I waited - only to find it was my husband checking on me.  He went back up to bed, and I continued to watch TV.  About 45 minutes later, I heard someone get up and walk across the floor upstairs and stop at the stairs.  I waited, but no one EVER came down or went back to bed.  I brought it up to my husband the next day and he said that he was awakened by it and was able to hear it, too.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011, I was listening to EVPs for the site and the creepy feeling had returned to the house.  I began to realize that some of the voices that we caught were unfamiliar and didn't know us - they were asking who I was and if I owned the house (check out the archives for November 8, 2011 if you haven't  heard it).  I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to say prayers of protection before and after each EVP session!  By not doing so, you can invite other spirits in to communicate.  I was VERY upset with myself (my husband was pretty ticked at me, too), but adorned my family in prayer and St. Micheal medals.  I did an EVP session that day (after my prayer of protection) because the activity was increasing and we believe that when they can't communicate they get frustrated (and active). 

The following EVPs are captured from that day, around 11:25 am when I am ALONE in the house with my dog.  There are NO TVs on, and no phone calls come in.  I placed the recorder in a new spot - right next to me on the computer tower.  I found that had positive and negative consequences...Good consequences?  I think they were able to use the energy directly from the tower to communicate frequently - cause, MAN!  They were CHATTY!  Negative consequence?  There is an annoying hum from the tower and various computer noises.  

The first one I am sharing tonight is dedicated to my mom.  Seriously - they actually say her name.  Mom, you are such a big fan - they must some how know and are giving you a shout out!  (0:15)
Judy

The next one is continuing with the "mom" theme.  In with the computer noises, listen for "Mommy, Mommy, Mom, ch-ch."
Mommy

Now, before you say, that was the computer making a noise like mommy, listen to this next clip.  The EVP is found at :17, a quiet "April" then a nice, loud "April, Look."  I then cut the tape longer, so that you can hear what the computer noises actually sound like - not the mommy or April or other words I caught (I didn't post them all).
April, Look

The next clip is pretty awesome and clear.  There is swearing, but it CERTAINLY isn't me!  At 2 1/2 seconds, you can hear a young girl clearly state her frustration at something.
F@*% It

Wow.  There is so much in this clip - it is FRICKIN' AMAZING!!!  Okay, I apologize, but it starts off with a voice.  Right away.  I wouldn't have cut it so close but I wasn't aware of the deep, sentimental voice until like 10 seconds ago!  My husband heard it, but I couldn't until, well, until I just did.  I could go back and re-cut it longer but frankly I have been working on these EVPs all day, and I have a pie to bake!  So, if you miss the deep, low voice saying, "I do, love you" don't worry because there is PLENTY more in this clip!  At :10 you will hear our most common male say "April" something "April."  You will also hear a lot of the computer rumble (sorry).  Then you will hear a girl say, "Point" at :14.  At :16 she slowly says, "I...found...you."  Followed quickly by the low, deep voice saying, "Don't do it."  This clip is chuck-full and is quickly growing to be a personal favorite!
W.O.W.

The next clip is pretty cool, too.  They usually don't give us much clues as to their names or past - but this one lets us in just a little.  At :07, you hear the favorite word of our house of spirits, "April."  Then at :14 you hear a child squeal and an adult, "Emily" at :15.
Emily

The next clip is your basic EVP.  If you don't have ear buds in, you won't hear it.  At :08, you will hear the all-too familiar whisper from beyond, "How do we get there?"
How Do We Get There?

A younger sounding girl now...slowly whispers, "I...will...pick" at :02.  Then quickly at the end says, "I love..."  My husband says he hears a man at the beginning as well.  Do you?
I Will Pick

Here's one for randomness...Same teen-sounding girl from earlier.  At :02 she says, "I pick Baltimore" and finishes her sentence at :07 with "and light blue."  Are these a few of her favorite things?  Or is this the same girl and these are her picks?  Are they playing a game? So many questions...
A follower pointed out that she may actually be saying, "I like Baltimore" and "I like blue."  After listening to it again with an almost infection-free ear, I agree.  What do you think?
Baltimore and Blue

How about an old favorite?  Let's listen to a MAN inhale and exhale - and no.  There are NO men in the house. :07
Inhale-Exhale

So this may be an answer to the question above.  You can hear the computer and my dog eating (notice it is similar but NOT the snap noise we often hear around EVPs).  But at :02, listen for a woman whisper, "Soccer Ball Cup."  Maybe that's what the girl is picking for???
Soccer Ball Cup

The last one, I am not going to tell you what we heard - I want to hear what YOU heard.  Test your skills at EVP detection - and don't be afraid!  There is no answer key.  One hint, we hear a male and a female.  The rest is yours - it's a long clip, and there is quite a few things here.  Listen and post what you think it is - we would love to hear from you!
COMMENT

Happy Thanksgiving!  Thank  you for listening and for sharing our site with your friends and family!  If you guys keep listening, so will we!

Tuesday, November 8, 2011 Part II

EVPs BELOW!!!

As promised, I have more to share from that day.  I KNEW I had to record - doors were opening, pictures falling, dog freaking out.  So a few minutes after the first hour session, I moved the DVR to the stairs again, right near me.  I let it tape for an hour.  The dog and I were the only ones home. When I first reviewed it, I came across numerous quiet conversations that I spent a lot of time on.  Then I realized that my husband occasionally leaves his TV on quiet in the bedroom (by accident).  Sure enough, after 40 minutes, I figure it out and turn it off.  So I pretty much had to discard all of those recordings.  What a waste!  But then I kept listening and OH BOY!  The voices REALLY DID start to appear...

The first one is NOT nice.  My hubby thinks it is the gruff woman, but you hear someone say, "Damn You" at :02.  That used to freak me out, before we found protection under St. Micheal.  Now, its just disturbing that someone speaks like that...
Damn You

The next one requires ear phones.  Listen at :04 for a soft where is he? followed by the tell-tale snap at :05.  If you hear the snap, you missed it...try a few times.  Really soft, though.
Where is he? Snap


The next clip captures my typing pretty loud.  Listen between the keystrokes - THAT is where you find the man talking.  What do you think he says?
Man Whispering

THIS IS OUR FAVORITE OF THIS SESSION!!  No earphones needed.  I am typing and you can faintly hear the TV upstairs.  It is FAINT.  At :06 you will hear a MAN yawn loudly!  Too manly for it to be me (and I am typing), too loud for the TV - CREEPY.  Sounds like he's right next to me...
Man Yawning

The next clip contains the faint voice of me outside on the phone.  I am very quiet and I believe we were actually talking about kickball sometime during our conversation! However, a close-up man says something like, "Kick Ball is Fun" at :04.  His addition to our conversation?
Kick Ball is Fun?

The next one contains me working at the computer and a female voice says something to the affect of "Fistball" at :09.
Fistball

The next clip I actually get a phone call and get up to take it outside.  Between the movements is a conversation!  At :03 "Okay, Come on."  At :12, "They're Ready."
Okay, Come On. They're Ready.

Hey, and what would be an EVP session without an April thrown in?  Listen at :03 for a soft, yet manly, "April."
April

In this clip you can hear the soft TV in the background, and my typing in the foreground.  At :02-03, you can hear, "Hey You," followed by a soft "hey." at :08 and a LOUD "HEY" at :10.
Hey You. Hey. HEY!

The last clip is pretty cool!  TV is off, I am far outside on the phone (you can't even hear me), and at :02 you can hear a child CLEARLY say, "Uh-Uh."  Another child responds at :04 with, "All right."  This is followed by a super soft male whisper.  The kids are amazingly clear!!
Children

Thank you all for your continued support as we continue on our journey!  I am setting my next goal on watching an hour of video - If I catch anything, I will be sure to share it with you FIRST!  Have a great night...

Tuesday, November 8, 2011 Part I

EVPs BELOW!!

As promised, I will be posting EVP clips from November 8, 2011.  I had the day off, so I did two separate EVP sessions.  I will post the clips from the first one today, and the second one tomorrow.  The first one, I did something a little different - due to the child's voice that we had been capturing and the "toot toot" sound he/she made, I  brought out a number of my son's cars and trains and left them out for "play" in the family room.  Even thought the cars or trains didn't move during the hour long session, we caught numerous EVPs.  I was the only one home, and spent , much of the recording in my living room on the computer.

The first one is short.  I am dating the EVP and after I finish speaking, at :02 you hear a man say, "April."
Gruff April

The next one causes a little debate between my husband and I.  He hears, "Go, go, go, go, go back Pointsly."  I believe I can hear the "go, go, go" at :20, but it is real soft. Are they playing with the cars.  At :23 I hear, "Hey, it's a PRIMER."  The PRIMER is pretty clear to me.  At first, I tried to figure out why they are talking about the painting process, but then I realized that Primers were what people called school books years ago - and we have plenty of school books around!  Listen and let us know what YOU think...
Hey, It's a Primer

The next clip begins with me explaining what I am doing - taking pictures of the cars that I have set out and setting up a video recorder.  After I say, "Flip Video" there is a QUICK but CLEAR voice that says, "Be Good" or "Pick Up."
Be Good

Th next clip is not an EVP, but further proof that they do manipulate our surroundings.  In the clip, I am in the kitchen, eating but not moving.  The dog is going crazy (so you don't need earphones) for no reason; however, after listening to this clip, you can hear footsteps which would probably make me bark, too.  The footsteps aren't me.  And I DON'T open the door at :05 - listen between the barks, you can hear it squeak open.  I close it and remark on the incident.
Door Opens

The next clip is a pretty cool EVP.  The house is QUIET.  I am in the living room.  On the recording, you can hear a man whisper the question, "Now is it clear?" at :02.  There are two "Thank You"s at :04 and :08.  They are obviously interacting with each other - and maybe wanting to check out the cars?  MOM - Earphones are needed here!!
Now is it clear?

Here is more proof that we have more than one spirit here...I have some quiet feed in front so you can get used to the regular sounds, then, at :11 one of them whispers, "Give me that" and is told quickly, "No" at :13.
Give Me That. No.

The next one is kind of quiet...you can hear me walking and clear my throat then at :09 one of them whispers "April, April, April."
April, April, April

The next clip is short - and contains a man's voice saying either "Let Chris Know" or "What Pretty Snow" or "What Prince Now?"  What do YOU think?
Clear Man

The next clip begins with me taking a picture and walking and talking to them about the cars I left out.  I then say, "I will give you some space" and right as I say space, you can hear a child giggle.  You may have to play it a few times, but it is certainly there!
Child's Giggle

This next clip is pretty clear.  At :13 you can hear, "April, why are you there?"  Only I didn't hear it, so I don't answer.
April, Why are You There?

Again, I have a clip of someone calling my name.  This time is sounds like a woman.  :07 and :12 are the clearest, with some quiet ones after :21...
Aprils

The last one of the day says, "April," then pauses for 16 seconds and finishes with, "Come here." (:26)
April, Come Here

As I said, I have more tape to review from this very active day and I will post more tomorrow!  Feel free to comment on what you think about some of the more challenging ones!  Have a great day!

A Missed Opportunity?

First of all, I would like to apologize for my absence in posts...the flu hit my family HARD.  I have been reviewing tapes from November 8, 2011, and have been finding numerous EVPs.  I am not quite ready to post them yet, as I also have video to review from that day.  In the meantime, my hubby is working on the new poll and was upset to find HIS favorite EVP was not in my postings.  So, here is one of his favorites, from 10-25-11.  I didn't post it because I couldn't quite make it out or understand what my husband heard.  He feels, however, that this is one of the best EVER caught... He says the gruff woman asks a question and a man loudly replies.
...I wasn't Kip

Postings from November 8, 2011, coming this weekend!!!

November 7, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!

This day started out active.  My daughter told me that right away at 6:45 am, our dog sat facing the garage door barking for about three minutes and wouldn't stop.  It was a bright day out (finally), but I kept catching a shadow of a tall, thin man in our bathroom.  I recorded the first hour in the usual spot - on the table in the family room.  During this EVP session, I pointed out that the kitchen lights that had been turned off, we once again turned on.  A half hour later in the same session, the lights were on again.  Here are a few captures...

I am giving instructions and at :02, you can CLEARLY hear a baby cry.  I don't have a baby and NONE of my neighbors do.  There CERTAINLY wasn't one in my family room at the time.  I believe this one to be residual - an imprint in time that is repeated.  I know in my heart that God welcomes all children into heaven so the child we hear is merely a hiccup in time...
Baby Cry

The next EVP contains a soft whisper at :03 (but don't fret if you don't hear it) and a CLEAR MAN speaking at :09, "Can't stop."
Can't Stop

The next capture is quite large - so if your computer is slow, just skip it.  It contains whispers, noises and exhales - while no one is in the house (you hear me enter at the very end).  The snapping sound should be discounted in this one - since I am not there, I cannot say for certain it is not my dog.
Whispers Exhale

The next clip contains one EVP and one disembodied voice (a voice we can hear without a recording device).  At :03, there is a soft female voice that whispers, "April." Then at :13 when I am typing, you can hear, "Oh No."  I then state that I heard a voice.  Which one was it?  I don't know for sure...
EVP & Disembodied Voice

The last one features my dog and a female.  You can hear my dog going nuts (I am not in the room) by himself and a woman talk to him, two snaps, and what sounds like, "Stop it." Followed by a brief clue as to where I am...
Stop It

A short while later, I decided to record again because of the feeling in the house and the fear my dog was showing.  He hid behind me shaking while I was working on the computer.  I actually recorded this one on the stairs.  I have never recorded there, as I constantly tell them NOT to go up.  I still told them NOT to go up, but I put it on the second step, and it is still mere feet from the computer where I am working during this recording.  During the EVP session, I pointed out that a picture I had just replaced had been knocked over.


The first one is a little chilling to me.  It is soft, so MOM put your ear buds in!!  At :02, someone asks, "What's her name?" and there is a definitive response, "April."  My husband even hears two separate spirits say it.  Then, at around :08 you hear "Who owns it?" and the response is there, however masked by my computer actions.  I find it chilling because the spirits that normally communicate know my name and I don't want any more spirits (I would prefer LESS, actually)
What's Her Name?

The next one is VERY clear.  A man says my name, "April" at :03.  Beware when you play it - there is a loud noise at the beginning that is not paranormal.  (And to my brother-in-law, you WILL be able to hear this April)
Clear April


The creepy feeling continued that afternoon and evening.  I heard someone go up the stairs at 4:30 pm, when I was alone.  Our dog also went crazy barking at the front door that evening, when no one was there.  That night, I stayed up late watching football but I couldn't relax because it seemed as though there were always shadows out of the corners of my eyes.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I think you know me from the blog and I don't get creeped out easily - heck, I sit and record and listen to EVPs by myself.  This night was really DIFFERENT.  I think from the EVPs, you can hear that as well.

Side note: Upon reviewing the above EVPs, I began to get worried about new spirits coming into our home.  Then I realized I had forgotten THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP - ALWAYS PRAY BEFORE AND AFTER A SESSION!  When we captured evidence in June and July, I insisted my sister take part in a protection prayer each time.  A few months passed and I don't know if I just got so used to OUR spirits that I became lax or what - two months without prayers of protection!  I pray every night for the health and happiness of my family, I can only trust in God to have protected us.  To rectify my HUGE error, today (November 15, 2011) I did the pre-prayer and post-prayer and well as prayed with each family member as they donned the protective St. Micheal medal.  All EVPs captured the 15th or after will be done correctly!!  Now, if I could just get my hubby to be a little less pissed about it....

November 3 - 5, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!

On Thursday, November 3, 2011, I had a guest over during the day.  We left the kitchen and upon our return - the lights were all off.  She pointed it out right away - we both distinctly remember them being on as we were just working in there.  We moved to the living room to continue working when we both heard someone walk across the floor.  When I asked her if she heard it too, she said she not only heard it but felt it in the floor boards.  On November 4, I did an EVP session in the morning and didn't catch much.  A lot of Aprils, some whispers and snaps, but nothing major.

Here is a clip of one of the "April" catches.  During the clip, you can hear me typing, but that is it until :23 and :26 where you can clearly hear my name being whispered.
April. April.

Later that afternoon, around 1 pm, I heard knocking in the kitchen.  The dog went crazy, but I checked and no one was at either door.

On November 5, the house felt electric.  Uneasiness poured out of me.  At about 1:15 pm, I was in the bathroom doing my hair when I heard a thud behind me and immediately the front door flung open. It was windy that day and I would have dismissed it as the wind, if not for the thud preceding it.  At about 1:45 that day, I heard the door kicked in and our dog went crazy barking at no one.  At 2:35, my son was upstairs and I was in the living room.  The door opened hard again, but this time was followed by footsteps through the kitchen.

Later that night, my daughter and her friend decided to investigate the basement in the dark.  I gave them the DVR and a camera.  It's about 11:30 at night, and my husband and I are on the main floor, but you can't hear us after we close the basement door behind them.  It is only my daughter and her male companion.  In this clip, it begins with a clear woman saying, "Why are you?"  which I can't rule out as my daughter.  That is, until I kept listening and heard the same female talking while my daughter is saying, "Shi, stop."
Second Female Voice

The second capture comes from about a minute into the three minute session.  You can hear the gentleman working with the camera, and he says, "There's gotta be something nifty on here," to which a woman replies, "Yes, there is" and continues a conversation with a male.  The conversation stops when my daughter's friend speaks again.  Again, there is no one else downstairs with them.  The rest of the tape is silent.
Yes, There Is

I do want to add a quick commentary.  While I was looking for a definition of EVP, I stumbled across numerous skeptics websites that debate the validity of EVPs. "The Skeptic's Dictionary" http://skepdic.com/evp.html was very interesting and made some interesting points.  They basically chalk EVPs up to CB radios, cell phones and other electrical interference in the atmosphere.  I find this humorous - does this mean that every trucker that drives by knows my name?  I have over 100 EVPs with my name alone, not to mention our girls' names.  And if they are cell phone conversations - they must be very short and very odd ones - "Toot Toot?" I just wanted to put this out there to encourage discussion and to show that we are well read and open-minded to new ideas, and can shoot down numerous skeptical claims.  Also, I did come across numerous articles that state Thomas Edison was the very first person to attempt to collect EVPs (although some sites say that he later retracts it).  I find that pretty interesting - someone as distinguished and brilliant as Thomas Edison was open to concept of the paranormal.

November 2, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!!

The day after Halloween was pretty quiet.  I didn't tape that day after the three separate sessions the day before.  The only odd thing was that evening at approximately 5 pm, my husband and I were talking in the kitchen when we stopped mid-conversation and both said, "Did you hear that?"  We were interrupted by a loud noise RIGHT next to us.  I thought it sounded like a pop or shot, my husband couldn't describe except for "loud."

The following day, I did run the tape for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.  At first, I didn't catch too much (which is fine by me).  I was on the phone with my dad for a good 15 minutes, and surprisingly, they didn't comment too much on that.  It was the day of frequent conversations between the man and woman.  FREQUENT.  Very low, hard to decipher.  I won't bore you and put those on; however, I do have longer feeds before and after so that you can hear parts of the conversation.

The first one is pretty easy to hear.  I am alone.  NO phone, NO TV.  Just before :10, you can hear whispering.  Then at :10, you can hear a girl say, "Help."  Towards the end, that is just me moving things - not them.
Help

This next one is also pretty easy to hear.  At :31 you hear the girl say, "Chelsea" or something similar.  Then at :33 you can hear the ghost whisper say, "What was that?"  Then, there is female whispering until the end.
What was that?

The next clip is pretty wild.  I am not even in the house at this point.  Listen to the noises the house is making - snaps, knocking, rumbling, and "Aprils."  I do need to point out that I have live here since April and I know the sounds.  I have heard over 40 hours of tape - I know the ice maker, the dog eating, licking, the furnace turning on and off, the pipes expanding, the walls and floors creaking and settling.  These are NOT those noises.
Unexplained Noises

Here are some more of those crazy noises.  You can hear me on the phone, outside so not to mess with the DVR.  You can hear snaps, knocks, "April" at :31, exhales...The noises are not considered EVPs, but he April is.  The noises are just unsettling.
More Unexplained Noises

The next clip features those voices I was mentioning earlier.  You ca hear them talking.  There is no TV on.  You can hear what sounds like ZuZu or Simpson over and over again - words that we have caught numerous times.  The whispering gets more intense at 1:03 - so much that my dog barks and I ask, "What?"  The talking pauses, then resumes.  You can hear I am right there, silent and on the computer.
Whispers


CREEPIEST ONE OF THE DAY!!
This is not considered an EVP because it does not contain a voice.  It is certainly considered creepy.  You can hear me typing away on the computer.  I have headphones on and am listening to recordings, my dog by my feet.  I heard someone walk THROUGH MY FAMILY ROOM.  I thought it was my husband home for lunch, which is why I say, "Hello?"  Upon review, my husband pointed out this was not knocking or footsteps, this was someone running right by me.  Quick shudder...
Running

Here we have again captured the girl.  Silence, as I am alone.  Then pops up a female, "Oh."  I don't even think I have to time it for you...
Oh

Th last one is a little difficult to hear.  I am popping out some chewing gum from those metallic packages.  At :09 the man whispers, "Don't kill me." At least we think.  What do you think?
Don't Kill Me?

Later that night, after we were all asleep, my husband heard someone get up and walk across the upstairs floor.  He sat up, expecting it to be our son or daughter.  No one was there.  Needless to say he didn't sleep well that night.  And he had NO idea about the "Running" capture earlier in the day.  I guess you could really say they were ACTIVE that day!

Halloween 2011

EVPs BELOW!!!

As promised, I will be posting clips from three separate EVP sessions from Halloween.  Before I do, I will also update you on events preceding Halloween.  On Saturday, October 29, 2011, I was in the kitchen when I clearly heard the man call my name.  Sunday, my stepdad came over to install a light.  He has NO interest in the paranormal and refuses to talk about it.  When they were taking a break in the kitchen, we all heard a glass fall.  We looked and couldn't find it.  I told him welcome to the ghost house.  He brushed it off and gruffly said, I don't believe in ghosts, whatever, etc.  In the room where the light was going in, my husband and he saw the lightbulbs pushed off the desk where they were sitting.

Halloween

Being that it is a day, well, let's be real here, of haunting, I figured I would record a few separate sessions.
My apologies, we are having brown-outs here (not paranormal) and I lost all of my hard work on the first section, so I will try it again and update often!

At about 10 in the morning, I decided to do an EVP session while I was alone in the house with Prancer.  And OF COURSE, there were NO TVs or RADIOS on. I caught numerous EVPs that are whispers (usually of the female residents' name).  However, I am going to try to avoid whispers for a while as a few of you don't listen with ear buds and complain that you can't hear every one.  Please feel free to give me feedback, so I can make better choices of the clips I share so that you all can have a great experience.  Or let me know when you get the ear buds and we can go back to adding whispers, too!

The first clip is from the very start.  It has me stating the date, location, etc.  While I pause,  the woman say Crap or Craw after I mention Halloween.  I end by saying we are in Mac's room.  We were but I then walk it out to the living room where I will be working.  They seem to be more active around us, so I wanted to make sure I was recording in the right place.  The woman speaks at :04.
Crap or ????

This next one is pretty cool.  I get up and leave for the kitchen.  At :22 you hear someone breathe directly into the microphone.  Then, they call my name three times : 26, 30, 38.
Breathing. April April April

The next one is pretty cool.  It is evidence that this haunting is more that EVPs.  I am working in the living room and am recording there.  I have a bit of feed out front so you can accumulate to the sounds of the keys and crows.  At :25-26 there are no keys or crows, but you hear one of them say, "Kill Kill Kill" such as before.  Only this time is isn't as scary - could they be trying to mimic the sounds of the house?  Then, at :36 you clearly hear a glass fall two rooms away in the kitchen.  I told you this stuff happens all the time around here!
Kill. Glass Falls.

Okay, and a final CLEAR one that doesn't require ear buds.  At :09, the man clearly says, "Your cratch."  What is that???  I have NO IDEA!  I thought maybe, You're Crass, but the tch is clear at the end.  Any idea what this might mean?  Hey, but you can hear him, right?
Your Cratch

The second session I recorded was at 1 pm.  I set it up in the family room for most of the session, on the familiar black table. The room is pictured above and yes, that looks like a face in the mirror.  I believe it is visual matrixng - our eyes putting shapes together to create a familiar form.  I think it is just the curtains and the reflection s making what looks like a face, but isn't.  Anyway, you can see the recorder on the black table in the shot. I was alone with my dog, in the next room about 3 feet away.  No TVs were on during the recording.

The first one I really like because it is similar to this summer's capture of, "Four.  Knock Knock."  This one begins right away (sorry, not much lead) at :01 you can hear a man say, "One" followed by two short knocks.
One. Knock Knock.

The next clip is another attempt at a name.  You can hear me clicking on the computer and I do amplify the volume for you just before he says, "Charles" at :09.  There is some whispering after, but it is very faint.
Charles

The next one is pretty cool.  You can hear me stand up right away and at :04, someone says "She got up" followed by the infamous two snaps.  My husband also hears a small voice say, "Let's go, let's go" between the words and the snaps.
She Got Up. Snap Snap

This next one isn't remarkable, but I caught this same noise throughout the hour long session (along with my name whispered A LOT).  It's a strange Ch-Ch sound.  Any ideas what it may be?  It is not my house noises, because this is the only one of the day I caught it.
Chanting

I LOVE this next one.  Towards the end of the recording, I took the DVR into the kitchen so I could do some chores.  I went down the hallway of the kitchen into the bathroom (pictured above) and left the door open.  Hey, I was home alone.  I closed it afterward as I was going to shower and you can hear the door jingle closed, then the woman clearly say, "It IS funny."  I think she found my selective modesty humorous (as I do now, too).
It IS funny


The last room that we taped in was the laundry room - nestled between the kitchen and Mac's room.  Conditions were not ideal; I kept the TVs off, but once my daughter came home, they were on.  I did capture a lot of great EVPs that I had to discard because of the background noise tainting its credibility.  You guys need to understand, I listen to these over and over.  I try to rule them out as EVPs by trying to find other things they could be.  And even when I do that, I keep listening for background noices or situations that could debunk or interfere with the capture.  The ones on this site have been reviewed at least twenty times.  So, as far as Halloween night, I think we would have caught a lot more - but here are the ones that are pretty good and cannot be explained!

Int his clip you can hear us talking in the other room.  But at nine seconds, you can hear a CH, CH (:10), YES (:11) near the microphone.

CH CH Yes

The next one you can hear the TV from my daughter in the family room.  But at :04 someone says Tig-Ger near the mic followed by the snap that typically follows words :07.  Tigger is my sister who initially investigated her and who has had her named called by them before.

Tig-Ger Snap

I love this one.  The TV isn't an issue.  Mac's room is empty.  So is the kitchen and laundry room.  There is clearly a MAN'S voice here that says, "Audrey." or something close...

Audrey

I personally love this capture.  You can hear the TV in the background.  You can also hear us - me tagging the clip and asking questions about who we think it is.  This one has a whisper and if you can't hear it, you can't.  I can.  I ask if he prefers to be called James.  I don't hear an answer.  Then I say, "Jim?" and he quickly whispers, "James" :37.  I then ask his friends' names and he responds, "April" :50.  If you don't have ear buds, you probably won't hear it, but give it a few tries!

James

The next one will be a lot more clear for all of you.  All you can hear is the faint TV.  Nobody is in the three surrounding rooms.  At :09 you can hear an undeniable exhale into the mic.

Breath or Hiss

Last one.  You can hear a clear "APRIL" at :02 followed by 2 CH CHs from earlier.

April ch ch

Update

Today, I have been reviewing evidence from the three separate EVP sessions we did on Halloween.  I have two completed, but want to keep all three of them as a single post.  So tonight, there will be no new EVPs; HOWEVER, there will be a new poll filled with our favorite EVPs.  Please listen to them again, and begin placing your votes.  Last week's winner was :"Can you Help Me?" followed closely by "JC, There It Is."  Also, if you didn't read yesterday's post, please take some time now to do so as the evidence is so compelling!  Until tomorrow...Good night!

P.S. Don't forget to vote!

October 28, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!

This was a busy day.  We were gone all day and night - and my husband came home!  We finally arrived home at 10:30 pm.  After he relaxed a little, we decided to try to capture a few EVPs.  We left it taping in the family room, on top of the big TV.  It was NOT ideal conditions.  Our son was home, but upstairs in bed watching TV.  The TVs downstairs were NOT on (even though it is in the picture from the next day).  My daughter was home watching a movie upstairs with her boyfriend.  Only my husband and I were downstairs that night, and most of it was spent outside on our patio or in the kitchen.  Our son fell asleep right away, and the other two were super quiet.

I will lead off with the BEST ONE EVER!  Seriously, I know I always say that, but they keep getting better.  This one is caught at 2 am, when my husband and I are in the kitchen.  My voice can be heard talking (it's the deep, tired one) and when I pause, a CHILD says "TOOT TOOT" as clear as day (:11).  I was worried people might think it was me, even though I knew it wasn't.  You can clearly hear the difference in location, with "Toot toot" coming from the same room.  After I listened to it and my husband listened like thirty times, I continued on with the recording  AND FOUND THE PROOF.  A few seconds later, you can hear me talking again and the child says, "Toot toot" quieter but while I am talking (:33).  I can't believe how clear this is.  My son actually asked to hear it (his first EVP ever) and was able to hear it from just our cheap speakers.
Toot, Toot

A few minutes later, I came across this strange sound.  I replayed it over and over.  Then I realized it came shortly after the "toot toot."  I began to wonder if this wasn't a child making a crash noise (:09), like he was playing with cars from earlier.  Following this noise, there is an unexplained cough and gasping - more play?  My husband, on the other hand, thinks the noise is that oxygen machine we swear we keep picking up (remember when we moved in, there were signs that read, "Oxygen in use").  He said at :09, you hear a blow into the recorder, followed by the oxygen machine.  And shortly thereafter, the coughs and gasping and again, the child's voice.  Listen and tell us what you think!
A little later

We caught the child earlier in the night.  There is no talking.  The only sound you hear is the heater and computer.  At :04 a child says, "All done."
All Done

I really like the message in this next one.  If you have been following our blog, you know we get some pretty creepy ones.  In this clip, my husband and I are discussing whether they are good or bad spirits.  My husband  says, "I don't consider them evil.  Probably more along the lines of malevolent."  Right after this, there is a whisper that replies, "True." (:04)  I say "What's that mean?  They don't care?"  My husband responds, "No," and the woman CLEARLY says, "We do care" (:14).  The man whispers something else, but I can't make it out over my husband finishing his sentence.
We Do Care

The next clip also features the woman.  My husband and I are in the kitchen and he is talking about how he doesn't like to travel.  At :09 when he breaks, there is the woman's husky, almost mechanically voice that says, "Get up now."
Get Up Now

We caught quite a few more, but as I stated before, I am trying to be picky and to just post the best of the best.  I was asked today how we get these voices. Honestly, we just bought a basic digital voice recorder and let it run.  Sometimes we ask questions and wait for responses, but most of the time we just say the date, location, and who's around.  We then instruct them to talk into the light if they want to be heard and they do.  While we are recording, we "tag" things like noises, mumbling by us, or anything we may confuse for paranormal later on.  This is a HUGE help.  The hardest part is actually listening to it later.  I have learned shorter sessions are way easier to listen to.  I still have some eight hour sessions from September that I keep putting off listening to!  I was also asked if we hear these when we are recording.  Most of the time - nope.  These are voices that can only be caught on a recorder.  We do hear voices while we live here, don't get me wrong! But, usually it is when the recorder is off (which is most of the time).  Thank you for checking in!  Come back to visit any time!

**Just a side note about the child from above.  The child's voice was captured AFTER my son was in bed, asleep.  Also, we have an OLD house, and you can hear someone walk down every step as they all creak loudly, and NO ONE came down all night.  Remember, son is in fourth grade and wouldn't dare be caught saying something as "baby-ish" as "toot toot."  Lastly, LISTEN to the child's voice.  It is young.  I mean YOUNG.  My own mother listened to it and said there is no way that is my son.***

October 25, 2011

NUMEROUS EVP's BELOW!!

Well, this day felt just like the others....Hubby still gone, gloomy weather.  When I got home from work to an empty house, I went to the bathroom.  Prancer, of course, followed me and sat by my feet.  The door to my right wasn't all the way closed, so out of habit, I closed it tightly.  As soon as I did, there were four distinct knocks on the door.  Prancer didn't bark, just cowered under my legs and shook.  Once I came out, I knew it would be a great day to record.  So I began taping at 10 am and let it go for about an hour and a half.  I placed it on the table with the black table cloth in the picture.  It is a good spot, as it sits between two of what we figure to be the oldest rooms in the house.  I began the EVP session a little differently, though. I began by stating that I listened to some recordings with aggressive swearing and explained that it is our house.  We are not moving and we have to learn to get along.  We don't have to be friends, but we have to be respectful.  That hour and a half clip caught quite a few voices.  No swearing, though - thank goodness!  I actually heard a few new voices.  Children from the July recording?  Not sure.   I ended up catching over 20 different EVPs, but I will only share the clearest with you below.

The first one is the coolest one.  I am home alone at 10 in the morning typing on the computer when I hear a loud bang.  I comment on it, stating that I have no clue what that was but that I have headphones on and I heard it.  I return to typing at about :20.  At :23 you hear a strange noise then what sounds to be a child say, "Sucka." That one is so obvious.  So obvious, you might miss it.  Listen for the child, but he/she is NOT whispering.  It's AWESOME!  For the more trained listener, after the child speaks you hear someone say what sounds like "Chloe" multiple times starting at :24.  I still can't believe how clear that child is!
Bang! Sucka...

Now, if I would've been checking the recordings as I taped them, I would have known the child was around. Early in the tape, while it is silent from me working, you hear the child say, "Hi." :03
Hi

After I asked what that bang was and the child replied, a few minutes later I captured an adult response of, "Nothing." :08  I sense a cover-up as SOMETHING clearly made that sound.
Nothing

Another easy one to hear is again, when it is silent, at :20 you can hear someone say, "Yup."
Yup

Another easy one to hear is this next one.  I am walking in the kitchen and talking to my sister on the phone.  At :06 there is a voice that is not mine that says, "Pick up."  My husband thinks it is commenting on my housekeeping!
Pick Up

While still on the phone with my sister, I comment that it was a little tough last night and that I think Connor's onto me (regarding my ghost blog).  At :06 a voice clearly says, "Hearing."  Was the person commenting on that my son is hearing me talk about it?
Hearing

I have another clear one for you followers out there.  I took a quick call from my sister.  After I hung up, I sat back down at the computer (all the pops and creaks) and as I am putting in my headphones, you can clearly hear a sentence.  What do YOU think it says? My husband actually can make out a female followed by a male.  How about you?
Clear Sentence

Hold on!  Check this out.  When I first heard this, I thought it said, "Choo choo busted or rusted" at :03 - :05 as I am working with my headphones on and the keys clicking away.  I was WRONG!  My husband figured it out - Choo Choo then the man says, "Bless you."  SERIOUSLY!  Alright, it's a pretty big leap to say that they sneeze; however, it's a fair assumption to make after listening to this evp.  And I am so relieved to hear that mine is religious enough to bless the other!
Choo Choo Bless You

Now the last one I will post from this room is one of the toughest to hear, but well worth re-playing it a few times.  You hear a jingle (that's me going into the bathroom), then at :06 you hear "April" whispered followed by, "Check his shoes" at :11.  That is a pretty amazing EVP as you can understand every word in the entire sentence.
April, Check His Shoes

Later that day...

Later that day, I left the DVR running for another hour in Mackenzie's room because I just knew activity was going on.  I left it running, but spent most of the time in the living room working on my blog.  Surprisingly, when I wasn't in there, I didn't catch nearly as many EVPs.  I guess they like to be around the living.  I did catch a few, which I will share with you now.

The first one caught was right after I let the dog in through the door in the picture.  Yo hear me close the door and at :05 you can hear someone whisper what sounds like, "April's back."

April's Back

The next one is one that I think is pretty cool.  If you follow the blog, you know that we haven't captured children since my sister was here in July.  Well, I caught them being mischievous earlier in the day and here, I catch them shrieking JUST LIKE IN JULY.  Same voice, same shriek.  And it is noon on a Tuesday, so kids are in school.  Take a listen - sound familiar?

Child

The last one, I really can't explain.  However, for you newbies, it is SUPER easy to hear.  Enjoy, "Rolo" (?) at :05. Come to think of it, she does have a bunch of Tootsie Rolls all over her room...

Rolo?

October 24, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!!

My husband left for an business trip the day before.  The feeling around the house was sad, as we are a close family and his presence was missed immediately.  Also, that day, the weather turned overcast and gloomy.  I believe the strong feeling in the home as well as the weather made activity increase.  That day, around 5 am I was up getting the house ready for his departure and I distinctly heard a child say, "April" in the family room.  No one was awake, much less on the main floor.  I stated that I heard them and went about my business.  At about 5:45 am, I noticed that the bathroom door facing the kitchen had closed shut on its own.  I didn't see it closed-, but I had noticed it was open after my shower and considered closing it, but decided against it as no one was awake.  I am CERTAIN is was open, but not at 5:45 am.  After my husband left the house held a genuine creepy feeling.  Like we were being watched.  At 2 pm, I needed supplies from the craft closet at the top of the basement stairs.  I went in there and I heard someone climb heavily up the stairs above me to the bedrooms.  I went and checked, but my son was glued to the computer with the dog at his feet and the girls were not home.  I colored my hair later and while I was rinsing it in the shower I felt there was someone just outside of the curtain.  I have not been creeped out by my house, but this was different.  I ended up finishing the shower with the curtain wide open.
The next day had the same feeling.  After everyone went to school, I left the recorder running while I worked on the blog and worked around the house.

This clip is VERY unsettling to my husband and me.  It was recorded in our living room when I was home ALONE working on this blog.  Before we tell you what we hear, we want to know what YOU hear.
Unsettling.
Okay, my husband and I (and our daughter and friend) clearly hear "Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill."  My husband does also hear a quiet "Don't count this," right before the infamous Friday the Thirteenth theme chant.  We do have a few theories as to what this might mean.  Listen again with our interpretation:
:02 & :08 whispers :09 "don't count it" :10 Kill kill kill kill

Okay, the one above is the best capture of the day, but here are a few more "good" ones to keep your interest peaked!  As suggested, I have made the clips a little longer so that you can get a better feel for the room and sounds.  It was recorded in the living room, where I was in and out of for the hour.  NO TVs or radios were on.  Prancer was the only one home with me.

The very first one is caught when I am "tagging" the DVR with the date, place, possible environmental noises...I saw there won't be any TV's on while this is recording and there is whispering at :04.  At :09 "what did she say? and then Chris or Quit it (:11) a second before I say please tell us your name.
What did she say?

I am still alone and without television or radio; however, my mom does call  for a few minutes.  While I am on the phone with her they jump in, as usual.  At :05 I say "yeah" as the man LOUDLY says, "Are you?"  At :08 he says another word to end his question(?) but I can't make it out.  Then at :10 you can hear the woman talking to him and at :11 and :13 the woman quietly giggles.
Are you?

I am still on the phone with my mother.  At the very start of the this clip, you can hear, "April" imbedded in the sounds from the washer.  At :01-:02 the man says what sounds like, "Your mule."  I don't understand it, yet, but I know you will all be able to hear it.
Your mule

The next clip is one of sounds.  You can hear me talking on the phone far away - I am actually outside taking the compost out.  So NO ONE is IN the house.  This clip, however, proves otherwise.  At :04 someone squeaks for Prancer (which we have caught before) and then at :06 there is a CLEAR knock.  Prancer ruffs a little, but doesn't go nuts like he does when there is someone at the door.  That is because no one was at the door.
Squeaks and Knocks

The last clip is one that only the seasoned EVP listener will be able to hear with headphones.  If you don't hear it, don't worry.  It is VERY quiet and I was just going to keep it for ourselves, but I LIKE what it says.  And it's my blog, so I am putting a NICE one on it, even if it is tough to hear.  You can hear me typing and then an odd ping pong ball sound.  We don't have a ping pong ball.  Then at :31 someone says, "Ask her to forgive, forgive."  Man says "Give?" at the end.  AGAIN, HARD TO HEAR.
Ask her to forgive

So back to our thoughts on the scary, "Kill, kill, kill, kill" one.  While SUPER scary at first, after some discussion I think it dates one of them.  It is clearly the Jason theme, so whoever said it, must be from the 80's. Right?  Also, I think whoever did it is just trying scare us.  Maybe they want their house back but, it is our house.  My husband thinks the "Don't count it" beforehand was a hint to us not to read too much into it.  What do you think?  We even discussed stopping the EVP sessions.  HOWEVER, when we don't listen, the activity picks up to the point of apparitions and breaking things.  They want us to pay attention or at least acknowledge them.  So by recording them, we are keeping the activity to a minimum.  Also, we are gathering scientific information about a subject that we as a generation have little information about.  What if we could learn about where they are?  We are Christians and believe most souls go to heaven, but are they possibly in purgatory or simply a different dimension?  We might actually be able to be able to answer some of these things.  So, for the time being, we will keep recording, yet our family's safety is always first.  We welcome a discussion or your own theories!

October 8 - 20, 2011

EVPs BELOW!!

This entry covers numerous dates in October.  The two weeks were relatively quiet, paranormal wise.  That doesn't mean stuff wasn't happening - we were EXTREMELY BUSY with events & activities that we didn't take note of very much.


Monday, October 11, 2011, began my nights of very little sleep.  Every night for the next two weeks, I was awakened around midnight and couldn't get back to sound sleep.  EVERY night.  I take Ambien every night, but it had no effect on this sleep issue.  I didn't think it was paranormal until the fourth night.  I was getting frustrated and frazzled.  I began to wonder - was something waking me up every around midnight?  I have no way to prove or disprove.  It may sound like nothing -but I dare any of you to try waking up at midnight and staying up every night for two weeks!


Wednesday, October 12, 2011, I was watching television in the family room around lunchtime when the side-front door was kicked in so hard that the door bounced off of the wall.  Our dog went crazy barking at it for over three minutes.


Thursday, October 20, 2011, as my children and I were pulling into the garage after dark, my husband opened the door to greet us and I clearly saw a face behind him.  I quickly motioned for him to move so I could see it better, and he mistook this for shut the door. Needless to say, by the time we opened it again, there was no face.  I did, however, sit in the driver's seat and look for what it could have been (a picture, a bag, laundry, etc.) but there was nothing there to give it that illusion.

I did also record a little in the living room earlier that day .  I began recording when I was alone (except for Prancer) at approximately 2:33 in the afternoon.  The dryer can be heard in the background.  Immediately, I received a response.  I left a longer clip for you - you will hear me speaking about the time, no one here, and that there is not a TV on, right after "on" you will hear the man whisper, "April" at :06 seconds.
April

The next one contains two EVP's: Prancer (:01) and Kenzie(:03).
Prancer and Kenzie

In case you missed the first, April, he says it again for us.  About 3 seconds in, just before the door chime, he says, "April."
April

This one is clipped short but is an excellent capture.  A voice clearly says, "It's.." and then proper or papa.
It's Proper

Following with the word of the day, the man again calls for me twice, and then speaks a sentence, only I run water and it is difficult to make out exactly what he says.  At :02 & :04 he says, "April."  At about 8 seconds I begin to run water and he begins his sentence at about 10 seconds.  Any ideas what YOU think he says?
April, April
A few more Aprils in two different voices...
April...twice

Again, I REALLY need YOUR input here!  I say, "Can you tell us your name?"  All you hear in the clip is name then (:01) squeak - Pavlov? ___ ___ ___ ___.  WHAT IS HIS NAME? or does it say padlocked?
What is his name????

Alright here's a no-brainer.  You can hear the dryer tumbling for a few seconds and attempts at whispering.  It's not the machine, as sometimes it goes with the rhythm and sometimes it's on its own.  At :08 he clearly says, "Try." or maybe Troy...
Try

This one has a breathy voice spoken into the recorder - even though you can hear me in the kitchen rooms away! Along with the breath it sounds like he says, "Hodgkins."  His affliction?
Hodgkins

I caught a number more EVP's, but I am going to try to put only the BEST EVP's that I catch on here.  A number of you are super psyched to hear them, but worry if you can't hear every single one.  I have been listening to the same voices for weeks, so I am quite used to them.  If you don't hear them right away - listen a few more times and if you still don't hear it, move on.  No worries!  We have plenty more evidence that you can hear!  Also, we watch paranormal shows frequently to learn new techniques and theories and I'll tell you what,  I can't hear half of the ones they present as evidence - even with subtitles!  It has also been suggested that I use longer clips so you all can get a feel for the room.  So, beginning tomorrow, I will make the clips a little longer, as well as posting a picture of the room that the recording took place in!  Keep reading & listening!  I love knowing I am not alone in my quest...
