E.V.P ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA or ITC INSTRUMENTAL TRANS COMMUNICATION
EVP is the unexpected voices which seem to record themselves onto tape recorders, digital recorders and camcorder tapes, it's not unusual when on investigations you may not hear a voice, but when viewing back the footage you hear a voice that doesn't belong to anyone who was present on the night.
It is believed they are the voices of the dead (spirit), there has been lots of research on this, and we ourselves have caught E.V.P's on video or cassette tape, for me this has been pretty much of a shock to my skeptical side, it was one of the forms of communication I didn't believe was possible, I have always thought and gone with theory it may just be sound that has traveled, such as ultrasound or radio waves, think about your T.V or radio, the picture and the sound is transmitted from one location to another, the T.V and radio are receivers. So the sound must travel in space, like radio waves. So what if we happen to be recording as the sound travels passed us via a radio wave and we then accidentally receive it onto our device. I believe this is possible with things such as digital voice recorders as they have a better audible reception than the classic cassette recorder. I have found however that the voices we are recording are answering the questions we are asking, that's too much of coincidence to be a transmission from a radio or t.v.
So can spirits voices be recorded, well why not. Many people have had many theories, I believe that if when we die our spirit leaves the body (known as the physical you) then the non physical (the spirit) lives on, in another dimension. We still have our mind our personality, then surely we can still communicate, many people report whilst being in their home they have heard their name called by a loved one who has passed, it also happens in Haunted locations we call this Audible Spirit.
This leads me to Edison, While working to improve the efficiency of a transmitter, he noted that when played at high speed the tape on the machine gave of a noise which resembled spoken words. It gave him the idea he may be able to record a telephone message. It was by attaching a needle to the diaphragm of a telephone receiver, he then reasoned the needle could prick the paper tape to record the message. The experiments then led him to try a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, and much to his surprise it played back his message "Mary had a little Lamb". Actually Edison was once asked by an interviewer from the Scientific American if he thought it was possible to contact the dead with such a device..
There are other theories, one of which is interference from radio waves and why not as technology gets better, the digital voice recorders we have available to us today can record a sound from quite some distance. How many times have we had to suffer interference on say a telephone, you ring a friend and get a cross line, both you and the friend can hear a third voice maybe slightly distorted, do we then interpret this as a ghosts voice, that is why I again say we need clear voices whose words are more easily understood.
Another theory is that of the subconscious mind of a Medium or the Investigator somehow projecting their own thought onto the tape. Maybe we are so desperate that we then think what we think the Spirit might say and our will is so strong we project that thought somehow. We have done an investigation three times at one location were we have recorded a child's voice who is responding to a question and has even repeated what someone has said, if it is our own thought that is projected then surely it would be the voice of someone present which is recorded and not a child's voice! or is it possible to project a thought then with a different voice.
