I posted awhile ago but it was too long so here's the condensed version and I need some help. My boyfriend and I went cemetery exploring and got some inaudible EVP along with some very DISTINCT EVP. I don't know how to post it and I don't know how to clean up the tape to get it audiable. HELP! I'd love to share these voices with you. Some of the voices we definately did get were a man that said "go away", a boy that said "I'm here, I'm here.", a woman that said " Hope." another male saying "... it is?", a woman saying "... ugly." and either an older woman or a young girl saying "Hi!" Those were just SOME of them. There are at least 30 voices and only 2 of us. HELP!!! My email is ARIESWINTERFIRE@AOL.COM

Pardon my ignorance, but if some were inaudible, how do you know they were EVP?
Don't know about sound technology, by the way, so can't advise on the cleaning up of the sound recordings...

because there were two of us and when a voice drowns out OUR voices and it's not either one of ours, then that would be a good indication that it's an EVP.

Are the voices hard to hear? are they way back in the background or something?
Or is it loud.

EVP is notorious for being hard to "bring out", with ambient static of the recording device itself being a horrendous obstacle in itself. If it truly drowned out your own voices though, thats pretty impressive, assuming these were new tapes and you didn't tape over older recordings, which could account for possibly all of the phenomena.
The method of transferring the audio to your PC depends on what medium you used to record these evp.
For quick and dirty transfer, presuming it was a standard $20 microcasette recorder (like I have), you'll need to get a stereo line to run from the jack on the recorder into your sound card, then make sure your sound card and volume controls are set to include and use "line in" as your recording target. You will want a good sound recording application to do so, and I recommend Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net), as it has great capabilities and is totally free and supports creation and editing for WAV, MP3 and various other sound formats. Save the file and upload it somewhere, maybe to a free Tripod website, and link to the file here in the forums, etc.
