How to record EVP




The process of recording EVP is relatively easy. There is no need for extravagant or expensive audio recording equipment. It is possible to record EVP using various audio recording devices, such as a cassette tape player-recorder, digital voice recorder, or even the recorder on your smartphone. While I understand the convenience, I would advise against using the recorder function on your smartphone or cell phone, as it is primarily intended for communication purposes with additional features. Additionally, I believe that the circuitry present in such a device may lead to potential audio contamination.

If you plan on using a cassette recorder, I highly recommend using an external microphone. The built-in microphones on these devices can capture internal sounds from the mechanism itself, potentially resulting in misleading EVP recordings. When utilizing a cassette style tape recorder for EVP recordings, it would be wise to use a new tape from an unopened box for each session. Despite potential erasure, the use of an old tape may still retain persistent auditory imprints. This could potentially lead to sounds that appear paranormal, when in reality they are simply residual noises.

Most paranormal researchers tend to use a digital voice recorder. Additionally, I favor the digital voice recorder due to its ease of transferring audio files to a computer for analysis. There are varying opinions within the paranormal community regarding the best type of digital voice recorder to use. According to certain ghost hunters, it is recommended to invest in the highest quality recorder within your budget and adjust its settings to the maximum level. By using this method, you can substantially reduce the background noise, hiss, and static. However, there are other ghost hunters who hold the opposing view. It can be claimed that lower-priced recorders, which do not filter out background noise, are superior, as it is this very noise that ghosts or spirits may manipulate to produce the EVP. My advice would be to experiment and find what works best for you, not only in your desire to obtain a credible EVP, but also what your budget allows.

Before recording, it is advisable to relax and prepare yourself mentally by clearing your mind of any negative thoughts. Additionally, it would be beneficial to select a time of day when external noises are minimal. As suggested by my Wiccan friends, it is advisable to create an imaginary circle around oneself and any other participants as a precaution against potential negative spirits. After initiating the recording, inquire with basic questions, such as. What is your name? What year is it? Can you see me? If you are attempting to communicate with a deceased loved one, you may inquire about their well-being, happiness, and potential messages. Ask what comes to your heart. Allow for a pause between each question to give any ghosts or entities time to respond. According to most paranormal researchers, entities require significant energy to respond, so it is important to allow them sufficient time.

In my opinion, it would be best not to engage in communication with any negative or hostile ghosts or spirits. If you receive any EVP from a evil spirit or ghost, I recommend deleting it immediately, particularly if the communication contains vulgar language or threats. Please only engage in communication with entities or ghosts willing to communicate with you. Be considerate of them. It is important to remember that they were once a living person and should be treated with the same level of dignity and respect as any other living person.

EVP dangers


This entire section is based solely on my own personal opinions and may not necessarily reflect the perspectives of other practitioners in the field of EVP research. Personally, I do not adhere to any specific religious beliefs, although I do not identify as an atheist either. I suppose most would classify me as an agnostic. My religious beliefs lead me to believe that there is no danger in studying EVP or recording and listening to these voices. But there are others who likely disagree with me. If experimenting or flirting with things like spirit communication goes against your religious beliefs or doctrine, I would advise against studying EVP.

Those who believe there is potential danger in studying EVP are concerned that doing so may inadvertently create openings or gateways to the other side. And by opening these portals or gateways, one may inadvertently allow entry into our realm of existence, evil spirits and potentially even demonic ones. There are those who believe that conducting EVP research may potentially lead to the practitioner becoming a beacon for negative energies. Which could potentially lead to spirit attachments, other paranormal complications, or even demonic possession.

In my perspective, conducting EVP research is similar to any other aspect of life. There is a certain amount of danger attached to anything you do. The act of crossing a street poses considerably greater risks and hazards compared to the study of EVP. An electrician faces a much-increased risk of injury or death from electrocution, whereas operating a motor vehicle is obviously more dangerous than doing EVP investigations. In my opinion, the concern surrounding EVP investigating is overstated.

Does this mean you shouldn't take precautions? Absolutely not! Exercise sound judgment and avoid conversation with any entities who display hostility, use profanity, or make any type of threats. However, in the event that you receive an EVP containing questionable content, it is advised that you delete it immediately and refrain from conducting any EVP work for a period of time, possibly a few days.
