EVP Voices from the Dead




EVP Electronic Voice Phenomenon Voices from the Dead

Electronic voice phenomenon, if true, seems to exceed the bounds of what is physically possible; thus, it is of paranormal origin. Colin Smith invented the term to describe speech or sounds resembling speech on recording media that has never been used.

Some researchers speculate that its origins rest in psychokenisis or the voices of spirits. Psychokenisis connotes the ability to move objects with your mind. It concerns the manipulation of matter and energy with just the mind.

Other researchers, more skeptical, point to pareidolia or radio interference. Pareidolia means that you mistakenly perceive images and sounds as being recognizable. A man in the moon, a face in ripples of glass windows, or hearing messages on records played in reverse are keen examples of pareidolia.

Most EVP sounds are in short, abrupt segments, usually the length of a word or phrase; sentences are uncommon, but not unheard of. The segments are frequently heard in the language of the listener.

A psychologist, Konstantin Raudive, conducted over 100,000 recordings under different conditions. His research amassed some conclusions about elements that all EVP sounds share. They used an altered rhythm compared to customary speech, were short in duration and resembled telegram-like speech, did not follow grammatical guidelines and rules, and several languages were heard over the space of a single recording.

Ghost Box Experiences

Ghost Box Experiences

Author: Jonathan Farrell

In recent times within the area of paranormal research, nothing has divided skeptics and believers more than the ghost box. Myself, being what I would class as a skeptical believer, had to try this device out.

What is a ghost box?

Modern day ghost boxes are simply modified radios that have been customized to continually sweep the frequency ranges without stopping resulting in a mixture of white noise and tiny snippets of broadcasting radio stations being heard. In EVP research it is often thought that a certain degree of background noise can help in the formation of disembodied voices coming through. In essence, existing noise can be manipulated to form words…..in theory anyway. The ghost box, tied in with the possibility of ethereal voices coming through on frequencies, seems to provide the perfect background noise for this type of manipulation. You are also able to hear voices in real time, not just on playback so technically this device can be classed as ITC as well as EVP.

My experiences…..

A New Orleans Ghost Story

Does the Ghost of a Serial Killer Still Walk the Halls of LaLaurie Mansion in New Orleans?

By Marlene Pardo

The three-storied home at 1140 Royal Street (Rue Royale) in the French Quarter is presently for sale for a cool $2.9 million, but for many years it stood empty and ruined. It was only back during 1832 when it was just newly built for its owners, Dr. and Madame LaLaurie that it was as beautifully furnished as it is now.

For two years Delphine LaLaurie, a Creole socialite, hosted lavish soirees that were attended by all the prominent citizens in New Orleans; however all that changed on a spring afternoon on April 10th, 1834 when an old Negress cook set a fire in the kitchen. Neighbors rushed in to save valuables, including the slaves and what they found confirmed their suspicions beyond their worse expectation.

Strange Manifestations

Here’s a good article we found!

Author: Michael Mifsud

PARALLEL DIMENSION OR AFTERLIFE ?

The night porter at Dolphin Square, was prime for a chat. Hot nights in centre city London and just by the river made sleep impossible. The pool and restaurant had just closed and there was little to do except go out for the night and I chose an early night. We were joined by two of the security guards who were as interested in the tenants as we were in them in view of the insecurity being caused by a recent wave of vandalism and robbery in the area. The presence of Royal tenants had caused the whole security system to be re structured and powerful infra red cameras had been trained on every angle of the massive estate.
