i tried evp last night and the recorder picked up a dog bark which baffled me because i don't own a dog.i then turned over the tape to record the otherside, just in case i taped over this bark.i then recorded once again and the machine picked up the same bark , Then a voice of a woman said "be quiet" the voice was clear, nothing left to the imagination. i have rattled my brain to explain it but i can't find one. to be honest i did not expect anything. this had taken place at 2am.

do your neighbours have dogs by any chance . could it have picked that up ??

sounds cool if they dont . can you post it so we can all listen ??

i have been outside to see if the recorder could pick up anything and it could not.

Can you post it, so we can hear it? JN

The recording is on a cassette tape so i'm unsure if i can post it?

if i have more success with it i shall replace it with a recorder
that will allow me to post it.

sure you can. I am having a huge brain fart right now due to being sick, but I know for a fact you can upload tape recordings to your pc. Not through the usb, but by using a ear to mic cord I can't remember what its actually called.

MasterPo can further assist you.

Great Idea 419, I know the method your talking about, but I do not know how to do it, however it can be done... Masterpro is a great one to ask,

Its actually called "double-ended 3.5mm stereo cable", you can get this at any electronics store.

Thanks 419, I'll make note of that, I use a lot of cassettes for recording and would like to put them on the computer...

Are you serious? It's that easy! That means you guys can hear the singing from the graveyard investigation in September!
I'll call my niece in the morning and see if she still has the tape!
Why didn't you tell me this before???

LOL, never thought it was an issue! Can't wait to hear it!

i have my theory as to what evp's are. tho im knew at them myself. i believe it has to do with "time". conversations/sounds i beleive get caught in some kind of time-trap. the voices stay in the same area for many many years and at certain right times, when say certain things come together just so, then the evps will be heard. i dont think the dead are trying to comuicate at all. but of course this is just my opinon. i do know that ghost/spirits and such are real, so im not saying that evp's are impossible. i sure would like to hear your evp. yours truely ruebarbt

You'll also need some kind of audio editing software to clean up the static and such. Converting an analog recording onto your computer can distort the sound quality. But many people use older analog recorders as they have a tendency to pick up more interference that can considered EVP's.
You simply plug in one end into the headphone jack of your analog recorder, the other end into your microphone or inline jack of your computer. You can pick these cords up at Radioshack for 6-10 bucks.

A free audio editing program is called Audacity, it has a bit of a learning curve, but if you use it, it'll automatically save the file under a .wav format. But there are a lot of people that use Windows Sound Recorder instead. Because it's easier.

Well seems that you may have figured out why your dog has been acting weird and now you know your not crazy ! If you can get it on your computer and have it checked out , odds are you will probably find alot more of them when the files are cleaned up !

Yes, very much so, animals can sense, and hear things that us human's are incapabile of.

But the OP doesnt have a dog . which is why hes intrigued by the bark .

Yep , alot of people dont realize that when things manifest there is always an odor of some sort . We all know how sensitive their sence of smell is.

I once had someone tell me that you could not smell a ghost, and I begged to differ, and did....LOL

Well you usually only get the smell when it manifests to do something ! At least from my experiences

As for the dog thing , my mistake ! But he still may have enough proof anyway !

I've always got the smell of sweet perfume or some type of flower, and none of that is present in the room I sit in...But other things follow that smell and that's when I know I am being visited.

Same her , I usually get perfume or a musty , burning rubber smell !
As for the original poster , have you noticed any weird smells , cold spots or any weird electrical issues ? Especially things with batteries .
