"WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT... EVP" > Page 1, 2, 3 How you can do it Anyone can experiment with EVP. You don't need expensive equipment, special knowledge or psychic abilities. All you need is a tape recorder, new, previously unused audio tapes, and perhaps a good quantity of patience.
You can try to pick up EVP by recording radio "white noise" or directly by recording sound at a location such as a cemetery or old house.
Later you can listen to your playback and see if you captured any EVP. Rewind the tape, of course, and listen carefully to your sessions. You may need to turn up the volume a bit because the voices can sometimes be faint. You may not succeed the first time. Try it at different times and at various locations. It might take several attempts before you succeed, although there is no guarantee of success. When you hear what you think might be an EVP voice, make a note of the counter number so you can easily return to it. Listen carefully to what it might be saying. Before you declare it to be an actual EVP, be sure you rule out any other explanation: real voices in the background, radio transmissions, etc. Be skeptical. You want to be as certain as possible that you have a genuine EVP. Keep a journal of your recordings. Present them or send them to researchers who have experience with EVP for their opinions. If you succeed and can transfer the recordings to computer format (such as .wav files), you can send them to me via e-mail for inclusion in a future article. It would be very interesting to hear what readers might have picked up. Was the voice familiar? Did it respond to your questions or otherwise seem that it was aware of your presence? EVP is a fascinating, mysterious
phenomenon quite worthy of research and experimentation. Let me know about your
results.
