During EVP sessions, the investigator, utilizing a digital recorder will sit on a bed, couch, chair or just
about anywhere and after all the investigators who are present say their names for the record, will ask
the alleged spirits several questions ranging from "Can you tell me your name" To "What year is it"
During the session, any outside or inside noises are noted on the tape.
Once the session, which lasts about three minutes is over, the investigator will then take the
recorder, along with other data collected home or to an office and analyze it.
Utilizing sound software like Adobe Audition, the investigator listens to the recording to see if any
voices can be heard. In the event that a voice can not be heard right away, the investigator will then
look at the sound waves to see if there are any low level peaks that need to be scrutinized. Those
peaks are then amplified and some even receive filtering. With any luck, the investigator will be able
to weed out sounds like voices, groans, grunts and in the case of one of our own EVPs, metal
clanging.
We not only record the sessions on digital recorders but we also film the sessions utilizing shotgun
mics on our cameras. In our experience, the video camera mic will pick up different sounds than the
digital recorder. In some cases, they will pick up the same sounds.
Another technique we use is dowsing rods. During those sessions, we also record the audio in the
hope that we can collaborate dousing replies with EVP caught on tape.

Class A: A class A EVP can be understood by all who listen to it. The
words, or sounds which the digital recorder pick up are clear.
Class B: These EVPs can be heard but sound as if certain syllables in the
voice are warped. Because of this, not everyone can understand what
the voice says.
Class C: Severe warping. Class C EVPs are the lowest sounds that can
be obtained by investigators. More often than not, only a whisper is
heard. These EVPs can be difficult to understand.
