Electronic voice phenomena

evp Generally EVP is accepted as the recording to an audio device of reputed spirit voices from the other side. There are various methods of capturing spirit voices but the most typical is simply the use of a standard recording device. In recent years, with the modern addition of digital recorders and the recent boom in ghost investigation it has become widely popular as a possible method of ghost research

While recording bird songs in 1959 the Swedish film producer Friedrich Jürgenson captured what he belived was a discarnate voice on tape. He continued to experiment and make many more recordings during his life time.

You can use an analogue recorder or digital both types have their supporters. The benefit of using a digital recorder is its ease of use and no tapes. Most digital recorders will upload to a computer making analysing the stored data much easier. With digital recorders you also have a much longer record time which is ideal for leaving the tape running on location for a few hours.

Konstantin Raudive a Latvin psychologist later worked in conjunction with Jürgenson and made many similar recordings. Both Jürgenson and Raudive's recordings were said to contain sentences that were made up of several languages. ( polygot)

In 1971 and the release of Konstantin Raudive's book, 'Breakthrough', Raymond Cass began experiments in EVP. He rapidly overtook other UK researchers of the time and produced voices of clarity and amplitude which attracted worldwide attention. He produced examples of the much disputed 'Polyglot' voices.
