i was recording this outside of my bed room
me and my gf had just gone to see the movie white noise (which really sucked by the way) but the whole evp thing sounded cool so we decided to try it
we recorded crap for about a half hour all of which was just crap and fuzz but this creeped us both out...
Full Version: EVP recording

To be honest my opinion on EVP is that is actually sound distortion carrying over as a vibration, or a persistent echo effect similar to that you get with sea shells. I do make room however for something more paranormal (with what we know) to take place in some cases, but I would be rather sceptic to classify anything you may pick up as one. i suppose the best way would bve to see if you can match the voice pattern and amplitude with anyone that is or has been in the house.
I agree this whole static and random words or phrases suddenly forming does make it very creepy. Good luck with your search if you go ahead with it. I will wait for more should you post again

Well, I had the volume turned up too loud, and this nearly gave me a heart attack! 
Seriously though... what did you use to record with? Is this the first time you've ever tried EVP before?
Creepy stuff...

Whether thats real or not...its really creepy. Remember don't turn the speakers up, lol 
LOL,
I was just testing some uber mp3 codec with my volume and bass up real high. Played that file and i fell off my chair (was swinging back on it).
Things like this can be faked so easily and it's hard to distinguish the real ones. Make ur own opinion

Funny, you watch a 100% fictional movie then you go out and try it, then you get something. Irony at it's finest, i suppose. Sadly i can't listen to it right now. I might check back later, but that all depends on if i remember to or not.
were addectied now we got to more voices ones very random the other i cant understand do you want me to post them?
Now you are saying you've gotten multiple recordings? Wow, this tale just got really fishy...
its ok i dont really think its anything
my friend was talking to me about how the internals of the recorder can make wierd sounds alot like what ive been recording so i think thats all it is.

we use voice recorders for evp aswell,its definetely real because weve asked for a certain person and got their name etc but another thing you should do is download cool edit off the net im not sure where you get it i havent got a voice recorder yet so i dont need it just now,but when you get it you can hook your voice recorder into the pc and enhance the sound and play around with it,also you have to watch out for little noises like a squeak or a click because we find a lot of the time that if you slow them down theres evp in them.
experiment with it all aswell and see what you come up with.

My sound was up too loud to, I was listening to really loud music, and this thing scared the hell outta me! Anyway, the sound itself, real or not, is creepy. I wanna try that out now.

Not sure about this one. I've heard some very spooky EVP's in my time, and this one did not strike me as being real. For one, all the EVP's I've heard that were credible, did not have the sound of air blowing on the microphone. This is typical of someone forging an EVP with their own mouth.
I'm not saying you did or didn't fake this. I'm just not convinced.
Thanks
I think the whole subject of evps is interesting, but problematic. First of all, you have to rule out normal sounds that have simply been misinterpreted. (For example, in this area there's a bird whose call sounds like "Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!") Then you have to be certain you are not just picking up actual conversation that's been carried over a distance. Outdoors, in certain atmospheric conditions, sounds can carry a remarkable distance. Indoors, things like pipes and heating vents can conduct sound. Finally, and most difficult, you have to be sure that what you're hearing is subjectively real and not simply an aural hallucination, since the brain is programmed to seek order in chaos and it's therefore normal to hear random sounds as words or voices.
If, with all these things considered, you were able to produce an evp, it would open the door for much more detailed study, I think. For example, there have been numerous reports of voices showing up on tape when they weren't heard by those present at the recording. If this could be reliably demonstrated and documented, it would be a starting point for a project to determine how the voices got on the tape. After all, tape recording, like photography, is a mechanical process. It is not magic. I think that it might be worth considering how the recording process works to determine how a non-audible sound could be imprinted on the tape.
Such researches, though, are meaningless until the first requirement, the existence of verifiable evps, is met.

All this work regarding verification that you require has been done ....and much much more...EVP is real people have no doubts whatsoever.....i was the biggest doubter.
Check these out
www.worlditc.org
www.aaevp.com
In the Yahoo groups search out "grassharp evp" group.There you will find hundreds of ordinary joe's that do this day after day after day.
I am amazed at times that there is so much proof on the internet about evp and people still try to debunk it.....try it yourself if you dont believe....

Trying to "debunk" a possible EVP is what every good researcher should do actually. Instead of trying to prove it, try and DIS-prove it. If, after you have tried your best to disprove the recording, and there is still a question or mystery about it, THEN you might have something. Just saying check all possible angles before jumping onboard a new EVP recording.
Some of them are REAL! I know this for a fact! However there are people out there that get a kick out of faking this stuff and having people go crazy over it. I should know, I went to college for Sound Design and Techniques. There are a ton of ways of duplicating the sounds you hear on those recordings, digitally.
BUT, keep on looking and searching. They ARE out there. And to be safe about your next hunt, record your actions on video as well. This way you have even more to support your possible EVP. HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Take some pictures too!

Bogeyman, I have looked at all these sites before. I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing "proof". I'm seeing people who want so badly to believe that they come across, to me, as highly gullible. You have to try to debunk every recording, every time, and you have to keep a record of what you've done to debunk it. If you get something that sounds like a voice whispering and you don't try to find out if the wind was blowing in around the windowpane or if there was water running, or if something in the room was picking up a faint radio transmission (things other than radio receivers can pick up radio transmissions -- like bedsprings, for example), then your evp has no value as research material, because you can't say for sure that it wasn't wind, or water, or a radio.
Bed Springs? Not with out being connected to some thing to complete a circuit.
My Hobby has been Radios for over 30 years , even used a light bulb for an antenna once. But my bed has not said a word to me.
As for EVP,s I have not tried because most investigators say the "voices" are in the low range of human hearing. I would need some recording equipment with lots of noise filters before I believe in a voice from beyond.
