Does anyone have much experience with Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP)? It's also referred to as 'psychophony' in some older sources.

EVP/Psychophony is, in essence, when the gain of an electronic recording device is raised to its limit, and upon hearing the playback, there are 'voices'.

Personally, I want to try this: I've done a few experiments at home, but it's too noisy here (people coming and going, the television, the air conditioning and heater units, pets, neighbors…) which I believe could interfere with the supposed results. Also of note, I am not using a diode radio or a tape-based recording device: I'm using my cellular phone's voice recording app, which, in my experience, is quite good at picking up sounds, though I don't know how it compares to a diode crystal radio or an older recording device.

Lastly, I want to know if there is a specific location/time that could guarantee best results? Personally, I've read of people recording EVPs in very innocuous and non-'scary' places like living rooms, the kitchen, etc., so I'm not sure if going to a cemetery or older building would do anything, and I've never heard of time being a variable.

Thoughts, anyone? Does anyone have experience with EVPs? Or perhaps a story they'd like to share?

I guess it would depend on whether your phone's application had any sound correction on it, recording with a more old-fashioned device would have the advantage of no correction but then you have consider that there might be impurities in the recording because of that. A friend of mine uses a digital hand-held recorder (I forget the actual make and model) so he can go to places where there is less interference. You can record anywhere, you don't have to go to a haunted house or graveyard to get results, spirits are everywhere. The best place is somewhere you can light candles (for light, not because it attracts spirits) and keep electronic interference to a minimum and if you are outside, somewhere far away from external noise and windy weather. My friend also tries to stay away from recording near where there are a lot of trees because even if it's not windy you can still get background noise from the foliage.

I also forgot to add that digital recording will give you a cleaner result, and it doesn't matter what time of day you do it, although some people may disagree.

Yes I have, they're very quiet so have to turn them up quite loud just to hear anything. Other times there have been noises that have been unexplained without even needing to turn the volume up. Me and another friend of mine are mediumship students and he's done some recordings at evenings with us. I'll ask him if he has any of his recording online.

Very interesting. The part where that voice says "Marabelle" reminds me of some other EVPs I've heard…

Here, I'll give you this:

http://www.pedroamoros.com/psicofonias/

It's an archive containing some EVPs that were recorded by Pedro Amoros in Belmez de la Moraleda, Spain. They are in Spanish, though. If you're interested at all, I can translate them for you, since the words heard on the recordings are on the filenames, and there's not that many of them.

Also, the "Marabelle" reminded me of one of these - the voice sounds the same. It's a recording where a woman says "Angela!". and it kind of echoes.

I have another question: I was on Cuck-chan's /x/, asking about EVP, and some Anon told me that some consider EVP to be dangerous, at least as much as the ouija, due to "demonic entities" pretending to be spirits and trying to form a connection to the listener. Do you or your friend know if this might be the case?

Also, thanks for the link.

Cool, I'll take a look at those recordings later when I'm not in work…

As for EVP being like ouija etc…First of all, I would like to clarify that (in my opinion) ouija and other forms of spirit communication tools are simply that, just tools. I personally don't believe in demons, I'm not religious either (I could be wrong but belief in demons seems to go hand in hand with religion). I've been working as a medium for years now and in the space of about seven years I've had only two negative experiences with 'bad spirits' who weren't demons at all, just angry people who needed guidance. They looked and sounded 'demonic' because they wanted to cause fear. A ouija board isn't going to let a bad spirit into your house any more than doing EVP or a seance will (others may disagree, this is just my opinion). Likewise I've been doing mediumship for so long I have no use for tools like ouija or pendulums etc. anymore. As far as I'm aware, my friend has never had any problems either otherwise he would have asked me and my other mate for help. Having said that, I think it does help having someone who has some skills in mediumship around for spirit communication.

tl;dr EVP is harmless, just don't piss any spirits off and be polite to them

I listened to it -no need to translate thanks- I'm not sure if could be the same I think sounds a little bit younger in "Angela" also if ghost -or whatever kind of entity the voice that sounds like a woman is- can transfer their voices from far away places. Actually I also got into taking pictures at night since got more random EVP, and one shows what I attempted to identify as a woman. I could post it if you are interested, I wonder if they are related… Also here's another kind of EVP that kind of made me upset with the entities, as I tried -perphaps stupidly- mumbling quietly that if they were feeling bad because life was unfair, or humanity treated them like shit, I understand those negative feels and wouldn't mind being their friend- I didn't do anything weird while doing so, just hoped they wouldn't say things like "kill you" or feel less lone in their realms, also never ever would I do a oujia summoning- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzNa3kuymbo Here you can hear what seems to be "I'll kill you" from 24sec-previously there's "demon" growl thing that also showed recently in Day Of The Dead/Halloween

Very interesting. You're a medium, you say? Can you elaborate? I'm not trying to be rude - I am simply very curious. Can you see or sense the presence of ghosts or spirits? Can you interact or communicate with them? What can you tell me about ectoplasm, or teleplasty?

I've always wanted to see 'something', but I never have been able to.

Not a medium, just a mere foolish human trying to find traces of meaning from existence in this crazy world, or on life or death with the paranormal hints I randomly experienced in my life. Here's the picture I previously mentioned, I surrounded the source of the anomaly. Couldn't be me as I don't look like that, and there wasn't anyone else around to be a shadow.

Have you had any other paranormal encounters, besides that with ghosts/spirits?

You know - stuff like UFOs, or psychic abilities?

Don't do that. Cell phones are shit. Do you have any idea how awful the microphones on them are? Have you even listened to the output?

Get a digital recorder, optionally with an external microphone so you have an actually remotely useful audio result.

Or hell, get a camcorder so you can get video with the audio. Also so you can better prove it's not you and your friends being retarded and making noise into the mic like that youtube link in the thread sounds like.

>>19671

Like I said above, the "growl" sounds like you having a giggle and breathing into the microphone to 2spooky for the youtube views.

I never knew the recording equipment in cellphones was so bad. I believe I do have a digital recorder with an external microphone, so I will try to use that in any experiments I decide to perform.

Don't know what you mean by phsychic abilities sorry, when it comes to UFOs I never had a single experience with any but my grand did rather not share because I prefer he not be angry with me wherever he's in the other side or people questioning a person who would never joke and was never to mess with.

>>19800

That's impossible, as I left the room after starting to record not even my cat around, but you are free to not believe it if that makes you happy I guess.

Tell us about your grandfather's experience, it sounds interesting. I'm sure he won't be mad - why would he?


 No.20455

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but me and my friend recently recorded some SNES gameplay on a VHS tape. Weirdly, when we were playing it back last week, it seemed like there was some whispering on it. Mind you, it's most probably a tracking error or some other kind of interference since it's a mono VHS and we were recording in EP (lowest quality, greatest length) mode, which really muffles speech, and the whisper was very clear. If anyone finds it interesting I might try to record it (although I have recorded over some of the start of the tape) with my camera.


 No.20469

>>20455

Please do try to record and upload, it would be very much appreciated.

Be careful, though: not sure if it's even real or not, but I've heard that EVP can be about as dangerous as playing the Ouija or dabbling in the occult.


 No.20473

>>20469

Bad news. The section of the tape where the whispering seemed to be present sounds perfectly normal. I will however conduct experiments with the tapes such as leaving the VHS recording audio during the night, etc.

I find this very weird. It wasn't a mistake, my friend heard it too. It wasn't a problem with tracking though, I messed with the tracking and it didn't replicate the whispering we heard in the tape.


 No.20474

>>20473

I want to ask if anyone has any idea on how to tell entites to feel free to record something on the tape. Is there any kind of object, sign, or procedure I should follow to make them feel free to record on the tape? Would saying so aloud work? Do I need to keep the door to the living room open? What about the window? I really hope to get something out of this.


 No.20475

>>20474

Also, do you guys think recording over a section where an entity left something will make them angry?


 No.20513

>>20475

Nope. I doubt they would even know, but then again, stuff they appear on might be marked.

That's alright, I don't think your message is rude at all (sorry for the late reply)…

It's kind of hard to explain…Usually I can 'feel' something is present, it's an electric sensation similar to the pressure before a storm, if that makes sense? It can be either hot or cold, I usually sense warmth. The presence usually transmits a second 'layer' in my mind. The only way I can describe it is that my body sees the bare bones of the presence and then my mind views the details…Not sure I am explaining this properly. But this is usually only with a visual presence.

There have been times where I've seen full bodied manifestations, figures etc. but usually I will see shadows with my eyes and then a human standing there with my mind's eye, I guess my 'third eye'. Contact usually comes in the form of smells, sounds, voices, images transmitted into my mind like a radio transmission. I frequently get woken in the night by light touching, poking, prodding and voices whispering because they want to talk. It's not scary anymore, just somewhat annoying. Often times I will walk into a building and know straight away that there is a ghost present, ask around for people to confirm, etc. It's easier to tell when the place is empty because spirit presence has an energy very similar to the presence of a living person, if that makes sense?

Yes, I can communicate with them easily if they are willing. Many times they just want to tell stories. Some want to pass on messages or don't realise they are dead and need to be guided to the light. I've never been able to go near the light, or whatever you want to call it, only see it in the distance. Usually spirits will show me visual memories, places they grew up etc.

Ectoplasm/teleplasty I am not certain about…My opinion is that it was mostly a hoax during the spiritualism trend. I've never seen it or experienced it myself. Not saying it's fake entirely, but it seems like it has not happened much since then.

You don't need any special ritual to speak to spirits. Just say it out loud if you can for the audio, or even thinking it is good enough. If they want to communicate, they will.
