If you type EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) on Google you will get heaps of websites offering information on the so called EVP, and will tell you how to make your own EVP recording just like in the film White Noise. But what I want to know is anyone here has tried and got something out of it. I once tried by putting the voice recorder on, on my mp3 play in my room and leaving it there for 15 minutes. I got nothing. Was there anyone else who my have got something?
shareEveryone who says that EVP is bull...What's wrong with the idea of ghosts? I mean, you must not believe in any religion or God if you can't and refuse to believe in the idea of spirits or ghosts. I mean there's nothing that's going to say that ghosts without a doubt exist. But there's also nothing out there to say they DON'T exist. In my opinion, anything is possible...

Nope, there's no God, but I don't know about spirits or ghosts. I think the whole EVP thing is crap. I've done it a couple of times with tape recorders in empty rooms where no one ever goes and come up with nothing. I tried the whole static on the T.V. one and played it back and heard...STATIC, as well as a car driving by the window across the room and a cat that sleeps on the windowsill once in awhile. I then played it back for a few of my friends, and they all came up with completely different stories of the noises they heard, but they magically matched each other when I brought them into the same room to tell me what they'd heard about a week later. I even took one of the recordings I made from both experiments and ran it through a recording program on my computer to to clean up the sound and determine if there really was anything...NOTHING. It's human nature to find patterns and voices in random noise and objects, it helps you survive if you constantly remain alert to your surroundings. That explains the whole EVP nonsense in my mind.
shareI'm an atheist, but I still believe in all the Supernatural Occurences - Ghosts, EVP (though i've never tried) and such.
There usually has to be one thing to push you on toward life. an answer you want to find out. My questions is if the supernatural occurences are 100% real, not just 100% hoaxes.
I do believe in Ghosts + such, and that is what i want to be answered!
Hey, I am an atheist and I still believe in Spirits, Ghosts, Entities, etc.
And EVP + other things are not bull, would you think that every single 100% supernatural was a hoax?
I'm sure some of it may be, but not all of it. If you can't see them - you may feel them.
And if anyone is wondering why i am atheist, it is because we have not actual footage or current writings from the time. (well, obviously no footage) But wasn't the bible actually written 100 years after your "savior" died?
Sorry, but, I am sticking to the Atheistic Path.
And was White Noise a good movie? Haven't seen it yet...
I don't know if EVP is real or not, but I do know that the truly intelligent person would investiagate and study it, not instantly dismiss or shun it.

texts? photograps? are u asking someone to PROVE u there's a god, so u could BELIEVE?
the bible is just one document, interpretation for someone's believe of what god is. faith is something primal,and it doesn't depend on religion.

Yeah. I heard my pet snake moving around. I heard a bird pecking away outside my window and kids from a nearby school making their usual noises. That's it.

I agree with the previous poster, I don't think that you could expect any results from just 15 minutes of experimentation.
On another note, I am Native American and to be quite honest we believe that there are some oddities in this world that have no explaination.
I saw where another poster mentioned that they had experience with a Ouiji board and as a much younger person I have as well. Despite being with friends, and all of this was in "good innocent fun." I was feeling some very interesting changes...ie, the air became very cool and well...just the way 'things' felt. Of course we were laughing and being silly but, I never brought it up to any of them.
My point being; there are some things in this world that we need to leave alone. If there is something of importance that the 'other' side needs us to know they will. If not....don't mess with it.
Oh...I am sure I will get a ration of s**t for this post...but, I'm prepared...lol...lol

me and two friends once tried it, with a great digital recorder it can record any electronic noise from any electronic device and play it clearly, we used it in one of our houses that had a long and interesting history.
however, we put it in a locker and half locked the locker door. It was recording all night. The next day, we listened to the results and we heard some adult female voice, she sounded depressed and confused we had no idea what language it was. But on closer research language she spoke came closest to Norweigian, and Norway is a long way from here.
Hey I've got something to share...it was an amr sent to me by a friend in my phone and the recording was about a girl singing acapella, now if you listen closely, during the line she sings the chorus...a second voice of a lady saying "Help me...help me..." and i heard it and it was all creepy because the girl was all alone. it was really weird...is that an example of EVP?
"BITE ME..."
?
I've recorded myself playing the piano and speaking, and on all times on playback, I have never ONCE encountered "ghostly whisperings" But then again I wasn't really looking for any.
I think EVP was invented by someone with an over reactive imagination.
I've recorded myself playing the piano and speaking, and on all times on playback, I have never ONCE encountered "ghostly whisperings" But then again I wasn't really looking for any.
I've actually tried it on three occasions, very different places, situations, varying quality of recorders and tapes and have found nothing.
I'm no hard-core skeptic, but I don't definately believe in all of these either. As I tell everyone I speak to when subjects like this come up, I'm very much an objective fence-sitter. :)
The first was a friend of mine and I left a recorder in an old graveyard on a lonly road down the street where I lived at the time. We even vocally introduced ourselves, talked and asked "anyone" who was listening to try and communicate and sat the recorder on a gravestone and left, even being sure to shut our cardoors loudly and as I drove off I honked to horn(for a point of reference for us later), we then came back and turn the tape over and repeated the process. I listened to that whole hour and a half of tape and found nothing but us and the cardoors and the horn and if I remember correctly, three cars driving by on the road that was about 50 to 70 yards away from the recorder. Now...if it picked that up we knew it would pick up something talking and even an animal walking by..hell,for that matter a mouse coughing.
Another time I did it in my parents house and actually remained present as I recorded so that I would know and note any real sounds I heard so that wouldn't corrupt it when I was listening later. I also spoke and asked questions. I constantly asked for someone to speak, for someone to give their name, for someone to send a message, etc., etc. When I listened back...nothing.
The third and very recent time (only two month ago) I did the same as the last time, but this time it was in my girlfriend's apartment. I did this because, even though I love her dearly and she's a very intelligent and logical person, she is much more open-minded about the subject of the supernatural than I am, (Even though I love the subject), and she can be a bit of a flake about it. She's ...the word isn't convinced...but has the notion that there may be a ghost that's in or around her apartment. She feels that she's "seen" it, not absolutely phyically in a visual sense, but close.... And no, she's not talking psychic crap here either. -lol- She actually IS too logical for that.
So...when there was no one at all in the apartment but me and everyone else in apartments below and beside were fast asleep, I went into her room, closed the door and recorded for about thirty minutes asking question all the while and asking someone to speak as I did last time. Then I tuned the tape over and pressed record, left the room and went into the living room and quietly read.
When I listened back...surprise, surprise...nothing...again.
Now...I'm not saying anything definate either way...just telling my experiences.

EVP does work, just not as well or clearly as it did in this movie. It's also worth noting that if you have any connection to the "other side", or what you can actually call the spiritual side, then you should not be attempting this. While you can not open a "portal" or anything of such, you can however anger things beyond your understanding.
As for the people who claim it's complete rubish, answer me this. Why do you think it is that the most skeptical people are the ones who sooner or later, encounter one form or another of so called "Supernatural" occurances? It is because your ignorance of grasping that things beyond what we see, know, and hear, offend those, who communicate and try to understand that the dead, do not all pass on to the ideals of "Heaven" and "Hell". Spirits, just as easily as humans, can and will be offended. What do you think those three "shadows" or things were in the movie? Note how there is no clear explanation, nor did the director intend to give one.
For anyone with education to think that there is only up and down, and no middleground, that it is not possible for spirits to wander our earth, but be unseen by the human eye, to simply belive it can not be, simply because there is no "proof"...then you are a fool.
It is alright to be a skeptic person, or not belive, but when you flat out say "Not possible", you are asking for an encounter. You are reading a post from someone who never wanted to belive, never accepted "ghosts" or anything of such. Tempted to see if this "BS of ghost hunting EVP" as I put it work, I sat in front of my TV for a few hours. I saw nothing. As I was about to shut the TV off, I hear d the noise of somthing in the room. Of course, it was about 3am, so I put it off as my mind playing tricks on me. No such luck. I began to see flickers in the snow on my TV, and then I heard that noise again. Twice in a row, I still discounted it as my imagination. Third time is the charm, or so it's said, and the third time, my TV flickered many times in a row, and while I did not see a "person" I saw somthing.
"Howdare"
Thats all I heard.
I was freaked, but again, trusting my brain and not faith, I went to bed. I woke up about 5-6am, to the sound of my TV, and the snow. Now I figured- "Ok, I rolled onto my remote in my sleep". So I got up, and reached for my remote, and it wasn't anywhere near by. It was sitting next to my door, which was open.
"Howdareyou"
It litterally came from the TV, so loud it made me leap from my bed. Now what happened in the following weeks, with me becoming interested in learning just what in the hell was going on, was recording, and listening. Following basic EVP guidelines and such, I began to hear things. I learned in the process, that I could not only record EVP, but that I was able to hear it WITHOUT EVP. It was months of seeing and hearing strange things, before I accepted it. I didn't help anyone or anything as far fetched as White Noise makes the main character out to be, but I did have conversations. Somthing I grasp is that, spirits exsist. You can't "see" them, but you can sense and hear them. Want proof? Go to a beach and get close to the water. Stay there for a long time, and then listen. Waves, but if you turn off you skeptisim, and let yourself understand, they will speak.
Oh yeah, the voice I heard was a spirit I belive to be sent by my Aunt, who was very angry I did not belive she was with me, when she died, and afterwards. I can not say for certain.
"How dare you for not beliving" would probably have been the entire sentence, but it was always cut off and broken..."White Noise" screws up voices quite bad...but again, I can "speak" in a sense. I don't talk, I just know what I'm saying, and what they are. I may sound crazy, but thats ok. I rather be crazy, then ignorant to forces that exsist beyond my "Field of view".
one time i put a tape recorder on my bed and left, and i came back with a sandwich in my hand, because i thought i heard a thump, but i looked around and then left because nothing was there. and later on when i came back in and checked the tape, i heard a thumping noise and then i heard me open the door and come in and then i heard this evil voice saying "GIVE ME THAT SANDWICH" and i was thinking to myself "crap no" and taped over it with me singing the Brady Bunch theme song. but that night, i heard a crash downstairs and the peanut butter was out and so was a knife and some bread, and written on the wall with grape jelly was
I TOLD YOU TO GIVE ME YOUR SANDWICH...
NOW YOU SHALL PAY
and then i looked in the freezer and noticed that all the cookie dough ice cream was melted and i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
freaky stuff....
The liquor is strong with you, Obi-Wan Keboozi....DRINKER!!!!!
Well my mother has a tape with the song "Blue Bayou" on it. Three quarters of the song there is a mans voice like he is choking or something he says something like "wkake". My mother recorded (copied from the original sorry lol) this tape herself and I highly doubt it is an error from recording.
Any one else had the same experience with "Blue Bayou" or another song from something they copied or recorded?

Oh Catherine, thanks for making my night! I'm crying here I'm laughing so hard!!
shareLMFAO!!!!!!
Best post ever! ;)
Thank you mate, that has really made my day, lol, people think i'm crazy laughing my head off in the office corner, i'm dying with laughter here!
lol
shareWell I'm glad that this is turning into a rather interesting debate, regardless of all you skeptics saying it's all BS. Of course it's BS for you, because you haven't tried it yourself. It's like that saying - don't knock it 'till you tried it. You don't believe in it - fine, everyone is entitled to have an opinion of their own. And saying that it's all in your head...as I've said in my post from a few weeks ago, how is it possible that 10 people are imagining the same thing from the same recording?
shareWhy would you need to try it? It's an psuedoscientific research field. Just because there is researc hdevoted to it, does not mean it is real. Research is devoted to spontaneous combustion, seeing if the Earth is hollow, scientology, crystal therapy, alien abductions, dousing, and hundreds of other stupid things that waste money with no real results. EVP is not even a very great idea. I mean, here we have these spirits and the only way they can 'contact' (and by contact i mean make some sort of incomprehensible message) us is through some static on a specially set up TV? Please. They're supposed to be supernatural and surely the supernatural is more capable of that.
There are millions and millions of sounds that if you taped them,it sounds like a human/ghost voice...
..many people here say that EVP really works.but 1 in 10(or 5?) americans say that they have been kidnaped by aliens.
..many people have a lot of imagination,,,,

This is a logic free zone:

The part about the ice cream is the highlight.
I'ma start some drama. You don't want no drama...
Speaking as someone who doesn't really believe or not believe in EVP, but was interested in a discussion of it, I find the hostility of skeptics interesting (sometimes disguised here as humor). Why the anger? There's a lot of contempt here for others believing what they choose to believe. It surprises me considering that those expressing skepticism seem to be enlightened, tolerant people. Or maybe I'm wrong about that...because there are people who truly believe evolution is a lie and they might also come up with some snarky story about a sandwich to show their anger and contempt as well.
What d u expect? People being nice to people? In IMDb? Now, don't b loooooney!
It's reading this kind of trash (Message Board) that u come to the conclusion that humans r just a bunch o no good monkeys who should never have come out of the egg shell of evolution. Hopefully one day an asteroid will reck this holle nightmare of a civilization out of its misery...
