This is even worse. It sounds like a kid dying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiY1JfVhixs

Listened to the first one for about three minutes...couldn't make out any voices myself, it just sounded like a chaotic mess of noise that could have been virtually anything.

That's the problem with this EVP stuff, none of it's ever clear but the paranormal investigators always seem to hear what they want to hear. It's the audio equivalent of seeing the face of Jesus on a slice of toast.

I've been saved by toast, quite a few times.

I also wonder why so many of these ghost hunter groups don't seem willing to invest a little money in better quality equipment. Even cheap entry level DSLR cameras have high quality video modes these days, but every ghost video I've ever seen seems to be such poor quality you can barely make out the humans in the shot, let alone what's supposed to be the ghost. I once saw a group trying to claim that mobile phone footage of something indistinct happening on CCTV monitor was evidence of the paranormal.

Sorry for the rant, it just irks me that paranormal investigation seems to have been monopolised by incompetent amateurs these days :-)

Maybe we hear what we want because we are meant to.

Maybe it's unhappy losers go looking for ghosts.

Or maybe it's unhappy *people* (NOT losers) who are more likely to see/hear/sense them?

I seem to recall a story about one of the pioneers of EVP who discovered it while record bird songs while bird watching from a hide one day. When he played the tape back he could clearly hear two voices on it having a conversation...about him. That one fair put the willies up me.

It's something I've been tempted to try myself, I just don't know if I'd react well if it actually worked.

I once received a very strange and disturbing cell phone answering message, that reminded me of these EVPs. It too was white noise, and odd scraping or scuffling that went on for about a minute. A voice was occasionally heard, once or twice, muted, incoherent... suddenly, the line went dead.

Later, I discovered my friend had butt-dialed me.

Maybe that's what all these EVPs are, after all... butt-dialings from beyond....

David - yes, I've heard that story. so eerie (and eerie is the worst kind of creepy).
They say to me that the afterlife is crazy, EVP and the ouija board. The voices sound disparate, unfocussed. It feels like a cloud of dementia.

To me most of it is more suggestive of the stone tape theory. You're just getting completely random snatches of old events and conversations, like twisting the tuning dial on a radio.

Of course, there's also the possibility that radio transmissions are exactly what's being picked up.

Have you ever read any TM Wright Tony? "A cloud of dementia" is pretty much exactly how the afterlife works in some of his books.

I think EVP is nicely suggestive, brings out good spookiness. Will Storr's book VS The Supernatural has a feature on it that's intriguing.

But...Derren Brown did a show investigating EVP and pulled it to pieces by asking one question to any ghosts during an EVP recording session. He asked them to remain quiet, so they didn't create the static bursts the recording devices' manufacturers warn occurr... Those same bursts of static EVP enthusiasts claim are the result of ghosts speaking. I'm afraid the static arrived, just as the manufacturers warned.

Of course, the ghosts just might have been laughing at Brown's question.

The voices aren't talking to us. Not all the time. I think they are crazy, not right in the head. And haven't you ever had a faulty phone you can't text right with? And then the person you texted misinterprets or even seems to get angry with you? Maybe if you're a ghost it's bloody difficult making it work.

I once had a phone call that I missed answering. When I checked the called ID it was from my girlfriend's old phone. I called her back on it and got no reply. I called her new number and asked why she'd rung on her old phone. She said she hadn't; she had left the phone in an old house in which she was staying at in Norfolk. When she got back to the house there was no record of the phone's outgoing call. And when I checked again, my phone record of the call didn't exist any more.

Bloody Vodaphone.
