In our chat on North Central Paranormal’s “Topic Tuesday” via their Facebook wall, we discussed electronic voice phenomena. Quite a few interesting experiences went up on the board.
One person mentioned picking up a voice in a graveyard saying, “Would you like fries with that?” This is a hysterical thing to hear from a disembodied voice… However, it turns out the recorder synced into a fast food restaurant close by. Alas, not disembodied. Yet, a good yarn!
I brought up an interesting phenomenon that happens when I review audio evidence. My methods are a tad unorthodox. I do not exclusively use headphones, I find I can sift the sound better when it plays in open air. Although I like to pop on them on for confirmation, most of my review is straight listening. I discovered this method after my headphone cord got chomped by one of my parrots and I was forced to resort to just cranking my speakers up.
Interestingly, I began to pick up an occasional rogue EVP… I would tag it. Upon returning to the spot on the recording, there was nothing. Around that time we had some activity around our home. I suspected my husband brought something/someone home from his job. He works at a long-term care facility that is haunted. I have done impromptu investigations there. It would make sense one might be curious to look me up for some more conversation.
With the blaring, background white-noise of the recording, it is likely the spirit can project better. I’ve noticed I seem catch more EVPs in a room with a loud refrigeration unit going, than in a quiet room. The white noise seems to carry the frequencies better. While this isn’t true of all places, it certainly was the norm for the nursing home. This might be the electromagnetic energy influencing the energies of the spirits too. Welcome to hypothetical heaven!
One of the members of my team lived in a haunted location and would get comments from her peanut gallery while she reviewed evidence.
It is my feeling is once we pick up a digital recorder with the intention to communicate, we become a beacon to the dead who want to talk. Like psychics whose light shines bright, somehow our recorders must glow in the dark! So, who knows how many find their way into my office?
I’m curious if anyone of you have had a similar experience?
Food for thought!

Wow, a fast food EVP over an EVP, huh? Almost Grave Humor.
Kind of makes you wonder if the other EVPs are real or not.
Well? Would you like fries with this comment? (LOL)
I does make you wonder…
I’ve sworn off Fries for a while, but I won’t turn down a hash brown!
