EVP Videos – Your Questions Answered
Today, by popular request, I have more videos for you. Since my first post on EVP, I've received even MORE questions about this topic. People have asked for help with recording EVP, what software to use, what tape recorder to use, why the voices sound whispery/quiet, and a whole lot more.
Today, I'm going to answer some of your questions in a video. But before I do that, take a look at this video which features EVP on prime-time news (Fox News). Warning: The volume is very low, so be sure to turn up your speakers…
In Video # 2, I answer some of your most commonly asked questions about EVP. I've also included 8 tips to help you capture EVP's. You can watch EVP Video # 2 here. This is a 7-minute video presentation that I created using a new software program called Camtasia Studio. My audio editing is pretty rough (far from smooth) – but I hope you enjoy the content.
I will be creating more videos for you over the next couple of months, so be sure to let me know what you think. If you have a question about ghost hunting, EVP's or anything related to paranormal investigation, you can ask your question here.
How Clear Are Your EVP's?
Three Types of EVP Recordings
Not all EVP audio recordings are clear enough to understand what is being said. EVP researchers use the following "classes" to determine how clear a particular EVP is.
Class A - Class A voices can be heard and understood over a speaker by most people. Just because a voice is loud does not mean it is a Class A recording. Recordings of this type must be capable of being understood by most people.
Class B - Class B voices can be heard over a speaker but not everyone will agree about what was said. Most EVP recordings fall into Class B.
Class C - Class C voices can only be heard with headphones and are usually difficult to understand. Note: Class B or C voices can have one or two clearly understood words.
It's normal to feel frustrated when you can't understand what's being said on an EVP recording. Understand though, that not all EVP's can be understood. Some of them will always remain a mystery.

Muffled versus Clear EVP's - Subscriber Question @ 1:31 am
[...] are rare. Clear EVP's are called Class A recordings. I wrote more about the different types of EVP recordings in an earlier post. [...]
I know exactly what your talking about when it comes to EVP's as my father has reached out to me several times since he passed away. I have added my Class A clip that I had with my father a few days after he passed away. Trust me when I say that they all try and communicate to us at all times. I would love to share my story with you as I have more clips of class A and B clips. i even have one of my grandmother who passed away 20 YEARS ago I was surprised. Thanks, Melissa
Hi Melissa. Sure, we would love to hear your story — as well as any EVP recordings you want to share. Unfortunately, the MP3 file you linked to produces a "404 Not Found" error.
I really liked what I saw and heard. I have a paranormal group myself. I have a question though, I don't do a lot with computers as far as evp's because I can't find a program that is user friendly. What program do you use? Is it hard to use?
Thank you…

Hi Tiler. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're working with a group. I recommend Audacity — it's free, and very simple to learn. On the website, if you click on the "Help" tab, you will find several tutorials.
My range is telopathic. Some just talk, like whispers.
Hi, this is me, I'm really so sorry about this cuz I was so busy at my work. I have been doing ghost hunting, I am not a member of ghost hunters and I have been doing my own work for almost 6 years. I have a hard time finding a paranormal society. I am a deaf person and it's my goal to become a ghost hunter member. It's pretty tough to find and I live in Ione, CA near Preston Castle so I really so sorry that I did not get your message earlier, and forgive me. Smile. I will wait for your message. Thanks you, God bless you, all your hearts, and good luck. Have a good night everyone, good night Michelle. Bye for now. Thank you very much.
I am trying to get in contact with the Cowlitz County Paranormal Investigation team. I was interested in gathering some information on you and might be of assistance to you in future investigations. Thanks so much :)
I have recorded a plethora of evp's in our flat. The front room and our spare room are hotspots for the voices. I have had voices in all three 'classes'. I use audacity to enhance the audio, so the voices are more audible. However, when I get a class 'A' evp—I am over the moon.
I use both a digital and analouge tape recorder, and I have caught voices coming over my digital camera,when it is in video mode.
These evp's are great.
Hello, My wife and I have about 75 class "A" and "B" evp's, and we've only been recording them for about 6 months. EVP recordings seem much more real than photo or video. Do you have a place to post evp and other evidence? I'd love to share some of ours with you, and everyone else.
Hi Richard. That's a good idea. Cheryl and a few other folks have asked about this too. Yes, I can definitely create a page for everyone to share their EVP recordings. I'll contact you with more details.
Hi,
A couple years ago, in the fall, we had had some excavation work done in our back yard for our leech field for our septic system, to modernize it. After the work had been done, and the workers were gone a few days later…I went out with my digital camera to take pictures of the job. I had the microphone/voice on the video part. When I played it back…what I heard was kind of surprising to me. I heard a voice that sounded like it said…."What are you doing? I own this soil…it belongs to me. Did we perhaps anger an old farmer's soil by having the work done? Has anyone had a similar experience to this? I have researched our property, and found it goes back to about the 1830-1840 or so, and many families have owned or resided here throughout the years. Thank You.
I would like to ask you a question. My boyfriend passed away 7 years ago. But the second day after this passing, I got a call on my home phone coming from his cell which I turned off after he died. So he did not speak but it was coming from his dead cell which I had turned off. So do you think this was him? What do you think why he called? Was it to tell me he was ok that he made it? Sincerely, Marie Keever. Please respond.
One time i caught a girl saying something in a different language while next to her grave; her name was lily and was recently buried in the past 2-3yrs. "Momo cece quah" i believe that is how you spell it. Though i dont know what it means?

Lets say you need to try an EVP session but you don't have a digital recorder handy.. But you do have a good microphone for your laptop or desktop computer; Have you ever tried to use you computer as the recording device? If so, what software do you recommend? I understand the use of Audacity for deciphering the recordings, but is this too a good tool to use for the EVP session itself?
