EVP

EVPs, or Electronic Voice Phenomena is one of my favorite paranormal interests.  What are EVPs you ask?  According to the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena, “EVP are anomalous, intelligible speech recorded in or produced by electronic devices, and for which no currently understood physical explanations can account.”

What exactly does that mean?  Paranormal investigators will often use digital recorders in their investigations to ask questions in an area where there is supposed activity.  Often they will receive responses.  For instance an investigator can ask “What is your name?”  A response, lower than normal auditory levels, will be caught by the digital recorder.  When played back investigators will hear a voice or sound that was not present when the question was asked.

Here are some great examples from The Ghost Investigators Society:
