My dad and I have been cleaning out my grandma's garage for the past several weeks on saturday mornings. Its an old garage that she doesn't use and its full of old crap.
My grandpa died about a year before I was born. During my younger days I spent a lot of time in my grandma's house which she and my grandpa bought after his time in WW2. It's an old victorian and the upstairs has always creeped me out.
Over the years I've come to trust these "creepy" feelings I get. I strongly sense that my grandpa is still in that house and stays upstairs most of the time. The basement creeps me out too but not as much as the 2nd floor.
So when I was there last saturday I looked upstairs. Sensing the same thing I always have and just stared up there... I was waiting for him to do something. Show himself, make a noise, or say something to me... But I got nothing.
Then when I got home I used the restroom... And I hear "KNOCK KNOCK!" on the door. I have roommates and both were gone at that time. I almost didn't believe it happened but it did. Two quick distinct knocks on the door of the bathroom I was in. I opened the door and there was no one. I wasn't scared or creeped out... I was just like wow... I know who that was.
I wanna do some EVP in my grandma's house. Any recommendations on recorders and mic's? I know he's there. I just want to talk to him.

If you use a recorder that uses tapes make sure it's got an external mic.
Also when you listen back on the recordings remember that the recorder's mic is going to pick up a lot of things that you yourself might not have heard. So be prepared to sort out what could be just background noise you didn't notice/hear with something that could be evp.
The mind tunes out a lot of everyday noise that isn't important for us to notice so lots of times when we hear something we're not actually listening to it. The tape recorder will still pick it up and it's then that we'd notice the sound. It's something I had to learn to sort out when I was recording things at my work so I thought I'd give a heads up.
Good luck.

I'm in California bay area.
I'll look around for an Olympus recorder. Any software recommendations for removing background or noises?

Sounds like a possible Livescifi investigation site.

I should clarify that the knocking happened at my house not my grandma's, but I'm not too far from her place. I've never sensed anything creepy at my own house and never heard any random noises before so I'm thinking my grandpa might have followed me home that day.
However, my grandma would NOT want a bunch of people she doesn't know hanging out at her place all night doing a bunch of weird ghost related stuff. She only lets close family into her house these days. I haven't told her that I think grandpa is still up there and I'm not sure I'd get a positive reaction if I did. I'm wanna try and do quick EVP session on my own without her knowing. If I get anything, and its good enough, maybe I can show it to her.

I understand how grandparents can be. I guess you could go over and tell her you are gonna have a day with her and stay the night and sleep upstairs and do some EVPs and maybe stream on Ustream or record something on a vid. I found my PC mic and recording software does great at my house.....of course i am not going to lug it around to different locations...........lol
