As Promised...EVPs!

People often ask us what "special equipment" we use to capture our EVPs.  I always shrug and say, just a basic digital voice recorder.  We use the type pictured above.  We originally bought the cheapest one we could find (ahem! Wal-Mart), but ended up returning it for two reasons: 1) it was NOT easy to use; everything had sooo many steps and it wasn't doing the basic things that we wanted and 2) the quality of the recording was pretty crappy.  When you listen for "ghost whispers" or EVPs, less interference and background humming or scratchiness is best!  So returned it and stepped up a few notches to this make and model and have been using it happily for over a year!  It is so easy to use, never has had a technical issue and creates some pretty clear recordings.  Maybe someday we'll upgrade again...or maybe not!

Okay, so as promised, here are some of the best recordings that we captured on September 18, 2012.  We recorded a long EVP session in the living room where my husband took the picture of the little girl.  The children were all out of the house, so my husband and I thought it would be a perfect time to do an EVP session.  They had been ACTIVE leading up to this, and we like to do recordings when they are active because 1) they are trying to get our attention, so let's give it to them in a constructive way and 2) they use a lot of energy communicating to us through the recorder, so activity "dies" down some afterwards.  I usually list the EVPs in chronological order, but today, I thought I would group them by ratings - CLASS A EVPs, CLASS B EVPs and OBJECT MANIPULATION.  OF course, the teacher in me still put them in chronological order within the subgroups... All doors & windows were closed, no TVs or radios were on, and we were the only ones home.  While doing the longer EVP session in the living room, my husband and I spent a lot of time in other rooms and even working outside.  One of them flung a pen off the table while I was in the kitchen and I tried to get them to go into the living room to use their energy more productively.  I returned to the kitchen and almost to say, "Hey, we want to be in here and you're not listening" they then dropped a pan into another pan, causing a loud clatter.  I took the hint and did a short session in by me in the kitchen after that.  Here are the best of the best from that day...

Class A EVPs
I am walking around in the kitchen which is a few rooms away from the recorder.  There are whispers in this clip, but a very clear man loudly whispers, "I could've..." at :08.
I Could've

In this next clip, I am calling back a member of the paranormal group to change the time.  The woman talking is me.  I am in the kitchen 3-4 rooms away and when I discuss changing the times, at :11 a male whispers, "Crap!  They're coming!"  Hmmm...not fans of paranormal groups? Or are they talking about one of them coming?  You never know...
Crap! They're Coming!

In this clip, I am talking to my husband about the phone call and while I am talking, a man loudly whispers, "Curls."  I don't know why.  I thought it might have been girls - at least that would make more sense, but no. At :13, a quiet whisper of "April" can be heard with headphones and at :21 the tin-man voice speaks along with the door that opens, "Let me help..." Oh, and did they ever help!  That is, if they are referring to the investigation (again, a teaser of what is to come!)
Curls

Just tested this next one and yes, you can hear it with just the speakers turned up.  My husband and I are no longer in the house.  You can hear our dog walk in and out.  They like to play with him when we are not around.  So you hear them play with him, but then at :15 a man loudly whispers, "that's Courageous..."
Courageous

Class B EVPs
I would give this one a solid B+ rating.  I just stumbled across it as I have to go back and re-listen to EVERY EVP since we began (over 5,000!).  This wasn't in the original posting for this date; however, as I was looking for the ones selected for the site, I heard this one and almost spit out my coffee!  A man is whispering during this clip - it is NOT my husband (whom is in the garage).  About three seconds in he begins with a loudly whispered question, "You like to buy a couch and leave?" and then, "I'll give you three bucks for it."  A few things strike me about this clip - they can go to the bathroom, fornicate and BUY THINGS?  Wild!  Also, three bucks for a couch?  What would that date this gentleman around? Forties or fifties? I guess it depends on the condition of the couch.  Still, pretty cool!
Buying a Couch

This one is pretty loud, I feel it is only a B due to the fact that I am not certain about what is being said.  You can hear me walking around in another room, even clear my throat towards the end.  At :05 there is a loud whisper into the recorder that sounds like, "Secret."  At :13, I swear they again whisper loudly, "Like Nicorette."  Who knows?  I just share what we capture...
Secret. Like Nicorette.

This next one, I am walking through our kitchen and right away, as I walk, a woman says something with my footsteps, something that sounds like, "She's coming." At :11, there is a whisper and then I walk into the bathroom, closing the door making a bell sound.  Immediately following that is a whisper of my name, "April" at :23.
Whispers & April

In this next one, the house is STILL empty.  The clicking noise in the beginning of the clip I believe is my dog (he bites his nails, no lie!).  At around :09 the whispering begins.  At :16 a child whispers, "Much better..." At :19, a man orders, "April, watch me."
April, Watch Me

In this next one, the house is STILL empty.  In fact, it is so similar to the previous one that I had to listen and re-listen to make sure I had them correct.  This one is pretty much the same EXCEPT that a child loudly whispers/orders... Again, the clicking noise in the beginning of the clip I believe is my dog (he bites his nails, no lie!).  At around :09 the whispering begins.  At :15 the man says something to the child and the child replies, "Much..." At :19, the child orders, "Watch me."
Child - Watch Me!

This one is captured in the kitchen.  And for all of the people who think ghosts are so scary, all they need to hear is this guy's message!  A man whispers throughout, so make sure those headphones are on!  At :02, he whispers, "Love you, Bro."  At :04 a woman softly whispers, "Is it?"  At :06, HE then whispers, "I love you..."  At :08, he says, "Come on."  At :10, he sings his whisper and it sounds something like, "I love April" or people, but after the Tigger remark up top, I'm gonna take it as "April!"  At :16 he get quieter, but you can still hear, "love you..." and at :20 a woman says, "Who cares?"
Loving Words

Not EVPs, but OBJECT MANIPULATION

This first one is when I was taping in the living room, but was in the kitchen 3-4 rooms away.  You can here something fall, then I say, "You're in the wrong room, go in the living room."  I then walk them into the living room (you can hear whispers during this clip as well - those ARE EVPs) and I inform the recorder that a pen flew off the table - a pen that had been in the middle of the table.
Flying Pen

This next one is long, so if you do decide to listen to it be prepared for a few things.  One thing is that it is a little over a minute long, so depending on your computer it will be slower to download.  The second thing is that you MAY want to remove hearing devices as it involves pans hitting each other.  Now back to the clip.  People often ask us what it's like to live in a "haunted" house.  This clip is a nice idea of what we go through. Again, the recorder is in the living room, I am in the kitchen 3-4 rooms away.  My husband is actually in the garage.  At the beginning of the clip, you will hear pans clang loudly.  A few seconds later I say, "You guys are in the wrong room."  I was nowhere near the pans that made the loud noise.  When my husband comes in from the garage I tell him what happened and he then goes about trying to re-create the sound I heard (more clangs).  The only way we were able to replicate the sound was by dropping a pan into another pan from 6 inches above!  I then tell them again that they are in the wrong room.  That is what it's like living here. Hearing noises & voices, seeing objects move and seeing apparitions and then trying to disprove it as paranormal.  Just a typical afternoon in our household!  Oh, and yes, for you with the trained ears - there certainly are whispers, and quite a few shout-outs for me...
Pans Dropping

Whew!  That was quite a haul!  I hope that keeps you busy as I listen to and cut the recording from the paranormal investigation.  I can't WAIT to tell you all about it!  Talk to you again real soon!
