Thanks TB. I am truly interested in the paranormal and EVP. I am just afraid of what it may open up to my family. MY DH is a believer too. I don't want to bring harm to my family ya know.

I'm not sure if you made a decision about using VOX or not... but personally I wouldn't. The idea behind the design for VOX is specifically to attempt (and results may vary by hardware) to only activate when someone is deliberately talking to the mic.. So it's trying to avoid picking up ambient voices, or noises. Typically waiting for a threshold sound level (like.. I dunno -50 dBm0) for a certain period (100+ ms) to be reached before flipping on, to avoid faint or brief. Meaning if the spirit isn't trying to talk to your mic, you may get nothing. My experience with VOX though isn't very extensive - and usually unsatisfactory - so maybe I'm biased.
Wow, I hadn't considered that!!! Thanks for the input. I am learning so much from the fellow members here. Thanks again for your input

Nite,
That is the smartest thing you could have said to me. It all things, safety for yourself and those you love should always be first and foremost. As has been told to me, there is a prayer to St Michael, that I find extremely good in bringing peace of mind and a grounded sense of protection ( Thanks JustNormal
) As a matter of fact I have added this prayer to my novena. My advice to you, is to try and link yourself up with a LEGITIMATE group of paranormal researchers. Furthermore, do NOT try to solicit a response by PROVOKING. Not only is it rude, it is dangerous in my opinion. Finally, do the legwork before going into an investigation. Research the site by going to the Library and any other source of information that can be made available to you.Good Luck and Happy Hunting
Blessed Be

So are you suggesting that when I am indeed ready to have this place investigated that I use a play a low frequency recording?
No. Just say that some people theorize that EVPs are very very very low frequency sound.
As a side note, we have had some interesting experiences using a white noise source. But I'd leave that up to an investigator to do if they choose to.
