The Culinary Institute of America is reputably haunted by a Jesuit Priest they call “Father Murphy”. He prefers the attic space for some reason. Since I was there for Alumni weekend, I decided to use my time to do an impromptu EVP session. As I promised, I went through some of the evidence I collected. This particular one was taken in the stairwell up by the attic. As usual, I started recording as I entered. I’m glad I did as I got a couple of hits on the way up the stairs.
Ironically, I felt as if a presence met me at the stairs as I ascended. Here I got a hello or help response. This is hard to hear with the noise. It sounds breathy. I haven’t discounted it being another sound and not paranormal…

As I hit the top floor landing there was a similar voice saying “Hi, who are you?”

I went down a hallway heading for the outer stairs. You’ll hear me whisper, “Is there somebody else in here?” Then you’ll hear a response, “I’m back.” After that, I resume talking.

As I boarded the stairs, someone said, “Much higher.”

This one was an odd groan.

I asked the spirit if he loved this place. You can hear a faint, “yes.”

I asked if they felt as if they were respected by the institute. “Oh, yes.”

I explained that speaking into my recorder would allow me to hear them. It seems as if I got a quizzical response, “I’m sorry?”

I asked if there were any messages he would like to relay to the management. This response is faint but it is there! He apparently doesn’t like the condition of his attic space. “Dirty… Empty room.” I assume he wants it cleaned and all the old files and crap taken away.

This last EVP is a different voice. I’m not sure if it didn’t carry from somewhere else in the building. This building has the ability to transfer sound really well. Interestingly, after this bit of profanity, my Jesuit friend made himself scarce.

Weigh in on these. I’d like to know what you think. The responses are faint. I don’t think this entity is particularly powerful or just is not interested in being the center of attention.
Out of respect, I did not use my camera (except to photograph the door to the attic. The Institute asks tourists not to take pictures out of respect to the students.
I still have more evidence to plough through.

Whoa, those are really cool. I can’t turn up my volume too loud cause the baby is sleeping but I can hear the faint sounds of a voice.
What have your more professional ghost friends said about these?
You don’t want to freak out your kids either! LOL
Check ’em out when you get the chance.
