EVP: Electronic Voice Phenomena


This is one of my favorite topics because I find it so interesting. Electronic Voice Phenomena is a way of capturing spirit voices or the voices of the dead. The pursuit of this phenomena began with a man named Friedrich Jürgenson who lived between 1903 and 1987. It was completely by chance that he discovered EVP. One day while he was outside with his tape recorder recording the sounds of birds singing, he also recorded some voices when there were no humans anywhere in the area. After replaying his recording over and over, he recognized the voice as that of his dead mother.
Since then, more and more people have begun research into this field with varying amounts of success. Some claim to hear voices of family and friends while others claim to hear frightening demonic voices.
at any rate, if you decide to try to capture some EVP's of your own, you can try it anytime of the day or night with a regular cassette tape recorder. Be prepared when you listen to the tapes. The voices you capture will not be very clear. They will be quite low and muffled an very hard to understand, but the more you listen to them, the more you will be able to make out what they are saying. It's kind of like listening to someone with a strange accent and trying to make out what they are saying.
Listening in a very quite room or using earphones may help you understand what you are hearing a little better.
So that's it, give it a try and let us know your findings.
