The Electronic Voice Phenomena
New Results
I Recently bought a small digital recorder made by TCM .It has a built in microphone and a socket on the side for phones. This has been used for the reception of EVP and seems to work well. The EVPs are downloaded to the computer via the phone socket onto Cool Edit and analysed on the computer. A couple of strange anomalies were recorded at Charlton House, London while I was working on a TV programme with the now defunct Phantom or Fraud group. They are included below with other EVPs received at different locations.

Charlton House
This odd time anomaly occurred. A series of questions followed by a few seconds for an EVP reply and then 'thank you' were recorded. I was using a minidisk recorder and the digital recorder simultaneously. In this example the lady asks 'are you able to tell us what the year is' followed after a few seconds by 'thank you'. On the digital recorder the gap of a few seconds is missing compared to the minidisk recording. At present I have been unable to account for this. This is the only time it has occurred using the digital recorder!

I did a 10 second test recording on the digital recorder and while I was recording, one of the ladies said 'O.K.' I mentioned this in case I mistook it for a possible EVP. However on playback her voice is missing. I got her to say the same word at the same volume in the same place and it recorded quite normally.
Whole 10 Sec. section with missing 'O.K.' test 'O.K.'
Note: There are other EVPs on the 10 second section you may hear, but to keep the file size down the quality is poor. The loud bangs were fireworks exploding outside.
The 'Henry' Voice
This voice was picked up on the digital recorder after we had left the Prince Henry room for our allocated one. I wonder if he sounded like this in life? The waveform of the voice is ringed in red. I have enhanced it to reduce background noise and increase volume on the sound itself. The waveform is as it was received.
The 'Spooky' Hello voice
About a year ago I was testing a new software programme that is used for sending speech via the internet. The resulting file sizes are smaller than normal and that is why it is used. I had a microphone attached to the sound card and recorded myself saying 'Hello one two one two testing' When I played it back ,imagine my surprise when my first word was not my voice and my first 'one' was missing. Here it is :-
I also noticed that the frequency spectrum was different on the 'hello' ,with the higher frequencies missing
