(EVP) Electronic Voice Phenomenon is the presence of either voices or noises on recordings that has no known physical explanation, such as house noises, outside noises or physical people talking, or a TV in the background. Many people feel that the voices and sounds originate from the spirit world in their attempt to contact us.
It is recommended that there be some type of background noise as it is believed that this energy from a fan, water, or very low radio increases their energy, making it easier for contact. The least expensive recorders have more built in sound so they are good for this type of recording. I personally have a fan on when I'm trying to record in my bedroom.
Just like every other aspect of life, some people are more prone to pick up noises or voices, while others are more inclined to pick up photographs of orbs, ectoplasm or physical manisfestation, to recognize signs, or actually see and/or hear spirit contact.
Voices are often difficult to hear because they tend to be quiet and may be very hard to understand. With practice, most people who experiment with this form of modality will develop an “ear” for what they are hearing and will be able to distinguish background noise vs. spiritual contact. Do not expect to hear long electronic voice phenomenon from the other side as it is evidently hard for spirits to manipulate energy into voice response. You should however be able to distinguish between male and female, young or old voices. Do not anticipate hearing a loved one sound the same as they did in life as they do not have vocal cords as we do and are using vibration of energy to come through. Normally spirits will only be able to offer us one or two words at a time.
There is no need to pay large sums of money when it comes to equipment. Although digital recorders are used, a large number of people still prefer the micro cassette recorders, but any recorder is fine. 60 minute tapes are highly recommended with 30 minutes on each side, and periodically adding new cassettes so as not to pick up what may have been previously recorded. If your recorder has the ability to turn itself on at the sound of a noise rather then just run continuously, I would suggest using this feature. It is also recommended however, to have not only a built in microphone, but an external plug-in microphone. If your recorder does not have range of speed playback (which most don't), then it is necessary to upload the recording onto your computer. There are many free down loadable programs that can play, rewind, increase/decrease the speed and sound, as well as offering other benefits. A couple popular ones are Audacity and Audition, but there are other ones out there as well. Some people have picked up noises and verbal communication via their telephone, answering machines and even on their computers and baby monitors.
Although some people set up a certain time each day to tape, their feelings are that the spirits learn when you will be recording. I personally tend to record at night while I’m asleep, particularly on nights when I “feel” I should, or when something unusual has happened that leads me to believe that my loved ones are around, or on a day that has a significant meaning to me or them. Spirit contact has been made at many locations and at many times at both day and night.
When trying to capture electronic voice phenomenon, do not plan on hearing any spirit voice or noise until the recording is played back. Should you want to experiment with speaking with an entity, make sure to choose your words carefully and then allow enough time for them to respond before you continue on. It is also recommended to keep a diary of your recordings to see if there is a pattern.
One thing has been noticed is that most voices and/or noises will be the clearest and strongest as soon as the recorder is turned on. As the spirit learns how to come through, the communication will become louder and more often. Do not get discouraged if you do not get something every time, this is normal.
I have always heard that weather can and will affect the results. Obviously when there is a storm, there is a lot more energy around that spirits can use to help them. I'm sure there are people who believe the time of "high tide" or a "full moon" will affect recordings, or a group of people combined who offer their energy to the spirit in order to increase the energy level.
On my links page you will find other sites that go into more specific detail when it comes to EVPs. Although a large percent of people are using this modality to contact their loved ones, there are organizations dedicated in perfecting the advancement of technique and experimentation.
With the advent of all the television shows and some movies, more and more people are turning to electronics voice phenomenon to reach out to contact their loved ones. Most computers will have a program for recording purposes.
