EVP FAQ

This was going to be a tut, now its just a FAQ dont have the time..

Why do you reverse the sound?

Demons love to play tricks with audio,a couple the evp's you hear at jimmys were in REVERSE, it wasnt until I reversed the sound before I actually heard a word. One of the "help me's" sounded like em phleh, or somethin like that. Didnt make any sense yet it was clearly a voice, so I reversed it.

Why do you slow down the pitch and speed?

Because spirits some times will talk in a rush, so youll hear like a hiss, or a high pitched VEEP, and its not tell you slow it down and change the pitch that you discover what its really saying. It also lets one hear the voice over the background junk that cant be filtered out.

Why do some your EVP's sound like there under water?

If there is a great deal of static, noise cancelation cant remove all of it without risking damaging other audio, and so it selects some of the static freqs and leaves them in place, this causes the static to suddenly sound garbled.

What program do you use?

Wave Pad, however im always looking for other audio gear, I simply use it cause its free (Some features stop working after the trial thou.)

Can noise reduction ruine EVP's?

Sadly you will lose some EVP's if they fall in the same frequency range as the static. Or you may lose part of them. Thats why in some my EVP's part of a word might be missing. Thats because that one area was in the same range as static.

What do I have to be aware of?

You should listen to the audio in question a few times before starting to do EVP work. Make note of any whispers made as they will sound lil different after noise reduction has been done.

How do I debunk sounds?

Ok here some helpful hints, if you hear anything that sounds like a high shrill, slow it down, you should then be able to hear what sounds like a radio changing stations. That is usually what electronics will sound like as the frequencies they emit varies greatly really fast.

A knock on wood will sound very hallow...DOOoomp, DOooomp when slowed down.

Metal will sound like a hissy smush with a lil electronic like tinge to them

Running water will sound like a roar. (Hince why I hate water running in the background, in Jimmys house a water pipe was running so every now and then I heard a roaring sound that I thought was a EVP.)

Can I remove all ambient noise?

Yes you can, you can remove road noise, birds chirping, static, a radio long as its playing instrumental and not vocals, a phone ringing..etc. ..Any vocals thou you shouldnt remove because after all a EVP is just a voice below the level of human hearing.

How much should I initially amplify the sound?

Two hundred times, or 400 times above normal. You can then easily listen to the audio without having your speakers cranked full blast, infact youll have to turn the sound down after words but dont worrie any evps will sound clear as a bell at that high of a volume.

Why were your first evp's so low and your new ones so loud??

I did that cause no one here knew me, I did that to prove they were EVP's and not what we call "planting" planting is when one talks then mixes the audio into the existing track making it sound like a evp. Its something that I have had happen to me in the past, but thankfully they did it with a tv playing in the far background so I was able to pick up on that and debunk it. I dont know which team member did it, but ever since I do all the EVP work.

How strong is EVP evidence?

Sadly due to the above note, its not that strong its below that of video, but above that of pictures,temperature, and emf readings due to it being lil harder to fake, and being considered physical rather then personal evidence.

In the line of paranormal research evidence falls into two main groups, one is physical evidence, such as Video, picture, and audio. The other is personal such as emf, temperature, and touch/hearing/smell.

However audio evidence must have a backing..IE:A yes must fallow a question. That is why with most my evp's I try to leave the question intact, or I mention it in the notation. Audio that happens by itself with no anchor, is weaker but since its not influenced by anyone talking, it can have alot of merit long as its known that no one was talking at the time it accrued.

The only acception to a evp thats unanchored is a yes, or no. THEY must always fallow a question, otherwise I throw it out as being some one in the background. It makes no sense for a ghost to randomly say "yes, no" However they might say "Hello, What you doing, I see you, Hi, Get out" all by themselves,or they might even say "Whats this?" if you put something in the room alone and walk away. Like a camera, or a recorder. There curious most the time.
