EVP – The Untold
Author: Chance Lay
About EVPs
An EVP, or electronic voice phenomena, are unexplained voices or audio captured on a recording device that isn’t audible to the human ear at the time of recording. It is theorized by those in the paranormal field that these are voices from the past or spirits that are trying to communicate with the present. EVPs have produced some of the greatest evidence captured of paranormal activity and have even been known to answer questions that have been asked allowed while recording. This method of gathering evidence is very useful to the paranormal researcher and can even be fun to the “weekend warrior” ghost hunter that TV shows such as Ghost Hunters have produced over the past few years. But what these TV shows do not tell you is that there are potential dangers associated with collecting, or even listening to, EVPs played back on any device. Remember that when dealing with anything of the paranormal there are “unknown” dangers. So, before you run off to play “ghost hunter” and attempt to capture EVPs, or before your interest peaks and you go surfing the web to listen to EVPs that other individuals have captured, there are a few potential risks you should be aware of.
The Dangers
Dangers of the paranormal are usually focused on things such as ouija boards, sĂ©ances, scrying mirrors and other occult methods used to conjure up or manifest supernatural or evil spirits. Persons with in depth knowledge of the paranormal know that the dangers far exceed these methods. Even though the above mentioned methods are said to have a greater potential risk, there have been reports of the capturing or playing of EVPs inducing paranormal activity and even causing an increase in the activity in a location that is already experiencing it. They have also been known to manifest entities and activity that can become very undesirable. There isn’t, as with anything paranormal, 100% proof of this, but there are numerous personal reports to support this theory.Â
Recommendations
Understand that playing these EVPs may even open up your life and home to such things which might be evil in nature. Regarding such theories, it needs to be understood that precautions need to be taken (and are not promised to be effective) before participating in any type of paranormal investigating or paranormal evidence review; even EVPs. First and foremost, it is a good idea that prior to pursuing any such interests; prepare yourself by praying or doing any such ritualistic activity to which your faith supports to protect you, your home and your family. It is a good idea to always wear a religious medallion or any protective icon you believe will keep these harmful spirits from attaching themselves to you and keep you safe. When listening for or playing back EVPs, please be sure to do so away from children, and to wear headphones or other listeneing devices that would prevent the EVP from being heard by them or surrounding entities if they are present, inviting them into your home.
Closing Words
Remember that dangerous and evil spirits do exist in the paranormal world and that your curiosity can make you a victim. It is better to leave the investigating to the professionals. If you or someone you know have been experiencing paranormal activity, call your local paranormal research team. There is sure to be one in or close to your area. Keep in mind that most reputable teams will offer their services to the public free of charge.
