Messing with EVP= BIG MISTAKE: MyStory


jerseyguy77

Recommended Posts

hey everyone,

My name is Brian, I'm 38 and from South Jersey near AC. Just thought I'd share a little of the story of what my life has been like recently and to give you an example of the dangers of EVP, I was studing the paranormal for awhile and was dabbling in EVP in my own home for a couple of months last winter, it took awhile before I had any successful captures on my recordings, but once it started, I quickly tuned into to hearing spirit, until pretty much every recording I did no matter where I was, was filled with EVPS, most of them very faint, but several very clear Class A's. At first the voices that I was recording were benevolent enough but within a few months the nature of my recordings changed and became more and more filled with insults, profanity and threats against me. Once this got to the point where it was basically all that I heard I decided to give up on doing EVP completely, but unfortunately it wasn't that easy, within days of walking away from it (or so I hoped) I began to hear voices through various background noises such as fans, air conditioners, my computer fan, my television, it started out sporatic, but as the weeks went by, it became worst, I was at a point where I was hearing the voices come through pretty much any steady background noise, and they weren't kind either, it was the same heckler voices that had taken over my recordings. Then one day in the early Spring the stuff really hit the fan, over the course of a single day, I began hearing the voices all around me, not just through the noise anymore but everywhere, some even seemed to originate from within my head, the situation was terrible, I was even hearing them over the sound of wind which is so bad it sounded like I was being ridiculed and laughed at by an entire sports stadium, it wasn't just the voices either, within a short time, I began feeling physical sensations, pokes and jabs to my lower back as I lay in bed and a strange vibration feeling that moved across my body, once the voices started, they never stopped, I hear them pretty much every waking moment, I can't get to sleep without sleeping pills, my life completely fell apart for the first few months, I almost lost my job because I was calling out so much, I just lay in bed all day becoming a total vegetable, the voices and sensations are still relentless today but in a sad way I'm learning to adapt, now I can't even remember what it was like not to hear them constantly....you all can choose to believe me or not, it's your decision, I just wanted to say that messing around with EVP was the single worst mistake in my entire life, any normalcy in my life is shattered, I have to deal with this every moment of everyday now when I'm awake and I see no end in sight, I just wanted to let you all know, there is a serious, serious danger to messing around with this stuff, the entities that we contact through EVP or at least some of them do not want us knowing about them, and they will come after us if they can.

I believe you to an extent but I also believe that you need to see a therapist.

Sorry to hear that man. My brother went through a similar situation but it turned into seeing it. Eventually he turned to Christ and all is well with him now. It was almost a year of crazy for him to get in a good spot. Good luck and God bless.

I see you joined a sister forum (which will remain nameless - internet sisters are jealous of each other) today with the identical post - right down to the textwall paragraphing.

I have a feeling that if I check again before the day is out, I'll find more of the same elsewhere.

So what's up with that?

Anyway, what you describe, whether it's true or not, is choosing a receiver operating characteristic: you can boost sensitivity (catching as many real instances as possible), or you can boost selectivity (mistaking as few unreal instances for real instances as possible), but there is a physical linit to how much you can boost both - eventually you can only trade off one against the other. So, you went full-tilt for sensitivity... and of course found your word full of spirit voices.

The good news is that there are lots of reasons why people hear voices that aren't there, some of them pathological. You trained yourself to do it, so you're probably OK and you can train yourself out of it. The bad news is that you seem to have done some projection onto your non-existent voices, and projected some Shadow contents of the unconscious (searchable). Meh. That is stressful, and maybe the stress took its toll. Healthcare professionals can advise you about that.

I just wanted to say that messing around with EVP was the single worst mistake in my entire life, any normalcy in my life is shattered ...

That may be true, but I'd see if training yourself out of it doesn't help a lot. There actually is something called the "hearing voices movement" (searchable) where you can locate helpful resources from sympathetic people. They would also be interested, I think, in a case like yours where the source of the sensitivity to the voices is so clearly voluntary training gone awry. However, having a healthcare professional on board is necessary.

Good luck with it. And when the voices calm down, look into the paragraphing thing, you'll be glad you did.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I can suggest that u start giving less attention to the subtle sounds & more towards medium to louder sounds around u ""if u get what I mean?"". Let your ears & mind adapt once again to the way u used to listen to things. Another thing is to ignore completely of what u call entity voices, I know it may well be not easy but u must try daily.

The entities are playing with your imagination & u seem to be giving them what they want. Try to avoid that by using less of your imagination about sounds & sensations. As u may realised yourself how things progressed, try to revert them slowly.

I have no doubt that a huge a large percentage of what I hear at this point is "from myself", they say alot of the same things over and over to me till it gets to the point where it's almost like an echo in my head, I have no doubt that if "they" shut up complety all at once one day and went away, I'd still be hearing stuff for weeks probably just like an echo, they scramble your senses ....absolutely, they even have a mocking term for this, they call it a "selfie"...they do have a twisted sense of humor....but you just know when it's coming from the outside....I was just remembering how I had gotten started with EVP, when I was posting some of my recordings on forums so I just figured if I can at least make one person think twice before messing around with it, it 's worth it.....and you are correct, the only time I can get any sort of a break from it is when I direct my focus onto something, unfortunately this is very difficult to keep up, but that is where I'm at now

I can understand what u are going through, as I had a friend once with a similar problem.

Like I mentioned before. Most of time try focusing on major sounds around u & ignore the minor subtle ones. Train your ears for a while in such way. The obvious problem is that the evil entities found that u were seeking them through EVP's & now they giving u much more then of what u wanted. How would anyone stop someone from bullying u? do your best to ignore their nonsense for a little while & in the end they give up! Another thing u need to do is get your home blessed, is that possible for u?

you are absolutely right, I have met a few other people on various forums dealing with similar situations (mostly sites regarding hearing voices), I have been in contact with a woman from NY state almost daily, who had this happen to her (except in her case there were no physical sensations, just voices and she got it through some type of meditation, not EVP) she learned how to defeat it by ignoring it, she's been wondeful in helping me along, but it is difficult, it's basically re-training your most basic senses (hearing and feeling), hopefully I'll get there, I've at least progressed to the point where I've learned not to believe anything they say anymore, they have a whole bag of tricks that they employ, they kinda act like good cop bad cop, they try and make you believe that they are actually helping you at times to help you straighten out your life, they convinced me that I have to make reperations for all of my sins, they make you feel like you're in the spotlight, for me they were telling me that my parents (both passed away) are praying for me but that I'm not doing anything important with my life, they are master of demotivating you, and of course they tell me that suicide is the only way out, but they seem to drop one storyline and start up with another, eventually it's not hard to figure out that they are completely full of crap, they feed off of the attention I give them and negative emotions, in the beginning when I was having an anxiety breakdown it was the worst, since I've calmed down some, they no longer have the same effect on me, but I just can't get rid of them yet, they are always present every moment I'm awake, it's more of an intrusion into my mind, body and personal space than a haunting, I've only found one book that deals with something of this nature and tells it how it is (though it's a dense read), it's by an author named Roy Vincent from the UK, I've shared emails with him a few times, I'm not sure if I'm aloud to post videos here, but I know Roy wouldn't mind.

That's really good that u are receiving help from someone that had been through similar situation, also from other related forums & books etc. As u mentioned a little more about these voices, I am beginning to suspect that these entities are demonic? ""I am now going to get members saying there is no such thing etc etc"". Often demonic entities try to bring a person down by making them feel & think that they are bad, worthless & sinful. Basically u may be lead to think, feel & believe everything negative about yourself as possible & the classic one is suicide. Have u considered getting your home blessed?

Try to think in a more positive way on a daily basis, by finding any little reason to be positive. Regarding the voices no matter what they say either good or bad, give them no attention whatsoever! u cannot expect any good from something that is bad in nature!!

I will check out the link u provided after this quote.

I've have asked them about their identity in the past, they flip flop answers alot, but something that they say quite often is "you are not suppose to know about it", and "you have no idea who we are" ..but they never hold to a steady answer to that question.....they do often put a religious spin on things....all they do is demotivate me, call out every fault, every sin, etc...when this first started I started going back to Church for awhile, but they followed me even there, imagine being harassed during the entire service, so I stopped going for awhile but have slowly been reading the Bible again and plan to start going back to Church, they do use religion against you and there's no way to hide what your thinking and feeling from them.

There worst is trying to get to sleep at night, that's when my quiet condo is like something out of a horror movie, they come over the air conditioner noise big time, but it's the middle of August so it's either that or sweat all night....I hate taking sleeping pills as I wake up feeling like I have a mild hangover, I'm looking for a good herbal solution there, I've been taking the herb Kratum to help with the anxiety during the day, it's been a blessing, only thing is you have to take breaks from it once and awhile as you quickly develope a tolerance and don't get the same relief from it

Did u ask them the questions in your mind or in spoken words? & how did they answer?

Demonic entities do specialise in trying to demotivating people in any way they can.

That's good that u continue to read the holy bible regardless of temporary leaving the church. Have u tried anointing your home & also casting them out in the name of Jesus Christ?

U made a good choice not taking the sleeping pills & taking the herbal stuff more!

Bedtime is the worst I can understand that, what u can try is waking up very early so when it's time of your bedtime u will be real tired to even be bothered with them. sleep with some music on if that helps

No such thing as demonic entities!

What people refer to as possession or hearing voices or seeing things is either drug use, carbon monoxide poisoning, mental illness of one kind or another! Or they are bare faced lying!

If you are hearing things or seeing things that aren't actually there. Dont go burning sage and saying prayers! Go and see a medical professional!

It amazes me the advice that some people give one here when the real advice should be get help or stop telling tales!

Though I shouldn't communicate with them at all (I know that's the next step....it's damn hard not to insult them back once and awhile) when I do it's I'd 95% just through thought, there's no need to speak out loud with them, I can tell you this, of the 3 people that I speak to regularly online who have dealt with this as well, one in particualr, we'll call him Joe, believes without a doubt that they are demonic, I have never heard them say we are demons, but I have heard them say "Joe is correct", on a couple of occassions, I have no doubt they are malevolent entities either way, in the beginning, I did pray alot, hung religous imagery around my house, etc...no effect, they say it doesn't work because I'm not worhty, they maybe right, I have fallen far, I do know that they can enter a Church and the name Jesus doesn't bother them, as they say it to me all the time, I always get "Jesus is praying for you, but you're' not doing anything important with your life", as I said, demotivating you is the name of their game

of course I can never convince anyone of the truth of my experience, I won't even say have an open mind about it, because having too much of an open mind about things is exactly what got me into trouble in the first place, aside from a healthy dose of religion in peoples lives (or not), focusing on day to day matters is what I should have stuck with....if restating my story to say EVP can lead to mental illness...whatever, I only wanted to say...it's best to stay away from that S#&T

My brother was not lying I heard the EVP and got cold chills. And his old bedroom at my parents house where he messed with the quija board and recorded that EVP was turned into a toy room for the grand kids. No grandchild plays in the room though and when you ask any of them why they say it feels weird or scary. None of my kids or my sisters kid know of his troubles.

I believe in the unbelievable if I did not, I wouldn't be a child of God.

I know it's hard not to get angry & respond to their nonsense. But try not to level with them, they are defeated foes & your better than them buddy! They obviously seek attention u should try hard to not give it to them any more. I am aware that they will give u the impression that the name of Jesus Christ does not bother them, the truth it does bother them. What u need to do is stand your ground in faith, & remember always that God forgives u for all your sins as long as u ask forgiveness in a humble manner during prayer.

No religious imagery does not do anything, like I said u must have strong faith & stand your ground no matter how much the demonic entities try to lie to u & demotivate u.
