What is EVP?
No one knows for sure exactly what EVP is, however
there is no shortage of theories. The simplest definition is unknown
sounds or voices- for which there is no logical explanation- appearing on
electronic recordings. For skeptics, the answer lies in intercepted short
wave radio transmissions or perhaps that the human brain needs to make
sense of sounds and is interpreting naturally occurring sounds as human
speech. Other theories include:
The voices are the projections of the person recording
The voices are a form of residual haunting and not really a spirit entity;
when a traumatic event happens on a site, the environment absorbs the
energy associated with the event and merely replays the same events over
and over.
The sounds are extra terrestrial in nature.
The sounds are from spirits who are attempting to contact the physical
world; some EVPs are claimed to be answers to questions posed by the
recorder.
