Electronic Voice Phenomena
Within the paranormal investigative community, Electronic Voice
Phenomena (EVP) are voices found on electronic recordings that have been either unintentionally recorded or intentionally requested and recorded. These are among the most exciting and thought provoking examples of paranormal evidence. Closely associated with EVPs are sounds that are inexplicably captured on audio recordings, often at the request of the investigators.
