It is not the intent of Oregon Paranormal Investigations to cover all the basis of recording and analyzing EVP’s but rather to provide a very
brief overview of a large and debated subject.
When analyzing EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) we find a number of important observations to keep in mind. As silly as it might
seem, first and foremost is to make sure that the voice heard on the recording is not that of a fellow investigator or another flesh bound
soul within recording distance. If the investigation team is properly organized and plans ahead it becomes much easier to reduce voice
contamination.
Secondly, and in the simplest of terms. The human brain strives to make sense of all that it sees and hears. It is a master of trying to apply
the missing piece of the puzzle when the piece or pieces are missing. Unfortunately, in the mind’s attempt to relate and understand what
it is experiencing it sometimes compensates by stretching distorted words or sounds into that which we can more easily understand.
Also, we should never rule out the possibility of the overzealous investigator, the untrained observer or just plain fraud.
EVP’s are generally categorized in 3 different classes. Class A, B and C. Beginning with Class A. When listened to by different individuals
will usually be agreed upon by all as hearing the same word or words. Class B, might be somewhat distorted and maybe agreed upon by
some but not by all that listen to them. Class C, are usually hard to hear and may not be recognizable by the investigator responsible for
the recording or by others that attempt to discern what is being said from the audio recording.
Serious paranormal investigators utilize specialized software to analyze many different aspects of voice and sound. Proper use of the
analyzing software can more readily determine whether the voice and or sounds recorded might be of paranormal nature.
Many times you may not hear the voice and or sounds until the audio recording is played back and cleaned up.
As mention above, our brief introduction page to EVP’s merely touches upon the complexity, history, techniques and debatable areas of
Electronic Voice Phenomenon.
Though our investigators cannot always agree up upon what is being said they do agree that the voice or voices should not be present.
The choice is yours as to whether to believe or not in the Electronic Voice Phenomenal process but as always we welcome your comments,
questions and inquires.
