Electronic Voice Phenomenon Recordings Capture Haunting Whispers

Making (EVP) electronic voice phenomenon recordings can be an exciting experience, especially if your loved ones in the spirit world are trying to communicate with you.

These mysterious voices, captured through electronic recording devices, often appear as whispers, phrases, or even full sentences that were not heard at the time of recording. I believe that EVP is clear proof that spirits are attempting to reach out, sharing messages from beyond our physical realm.



By using digital or analog recorders, spirit boxes, or even specialized software, researchers can enhance and analyze these voices, uncovering incredible insights from the other side. White noise and radio sweeps are often used to create an environment where spirits can more easily manipulate sound waves to form audible speech.

Unlike random background noise, many EVP responses are direct, intelligent, and undeniably personal, offering comfort, validation, and even guidance to those seeking connection. While skeptics may try to dismiss EVP as mere interference or psychological perception, the sheer volume of consistent, meaningful responses recorded over the years suggests otherwise. EVP is not just an anomaly - it is an extraordinary bridge between worlds, offering proof that the afterlife is very much real and that those who have passed on can still communicate with us.

How To Make Electronic Voice Phenomenon Recordings

Choosing Your Equipment: To capture EVP successfully, you'll need the right tools. A digital voice recorder is the most commonly used device, though even a smartphone can work in a pinch. Some investigators prefer analog tape recorders for their unique sound quality, which may pick up frequencies digital devices miss. A spirit box, which rapidly scans radio frequencies, can also be used to create an audio environment where spirits might form words. For the best quality, an external microphone can help capture faint whispers, and some researchers use white noise generators, believing they provide energy for spirits to communicate.

Finding the Right Location: Selecting a suitable environment is crucial. Many choose places with a history of paranormal activity, such as cemeteries, old buildings, or known haunted locations. However, EVP can be captured anywhere, even in your own home. A quiet setting is essential to minimize background noise, so turn off TVs, radios, and other electronic devices that might interfere. The more controlled the environment, the clearer your results will be.

Setting Up and Recording: Before starting, ensure your recording device is placed on a stable surface or held still to prevent accidental noise contamination. Begin by stating your name, the date, time, and location of your session. This helps with documentation and analysis later. Speak clearly and avoid whispering, as it can be mistaken for EVP upon review. A respectful approach is important, as many believe spirits are more likely to respond when treated with kindness.

Asking Questions the Right Way: During your session, ask direct yet open-ended questions, allowing time for responses. Some effective examples include, "Is there anyone here who would like to communicate?" or "Can you tell me your name?" Leave at least 10 to 15 seconds of silence after each question to give spirits time to respond. Keeping questions simple and clear increases the likelihood of capturing a meaningful response.

Reviewing and Enhancing Your EVP: Once your session is complete, review your recording in a quiet space using headphones. Sometimes, EVPs are faint and require careful listening. Using audio software like Audacity can help enhance recordings, slow down responses, or filter out background noise. Take notes of any unusual sounds or voices you hear, and play them for others to get a second opinion. If multiple people hear the same thing, it strengthens the credibility of your findings.

Validating and Sharing Your Evidence: To ensure your EVP is genuine, cross-check it with multiple recordings to rule out interference or natural explanations. If you capture something compelling, consider sharing it with other paranormal enthusiasts or online communities for further analysis. The more evidence you gather, the better you'll become at recognizing true spirit communication. With patience, practice, and an open mind, your electronic voice phenomenon recordings can lead to incredible discoveries and deeper connections with the unseen world.

Electronic Voice Phenomena

EVP: Electronic Voice Phenomena Gets The Ghost Talking - by Roderick Millington

I can make electronic voice phenomenon recordings to let YOU hear the spirit voices. My Meta Speech EVP work has led to fascinating evidence of afterlife communication.

My life has been wonderful and dreadful in equal measure, which is not perhaps unusual. When people ask me if my glass is half-full or half-empty, though, I am tempted to reply “I don’t know; I can’t find the glass.” One of the reasons for this is the intensity of the ‘strange’, or psychic, experiences that have littered my path, not least my discovery of Meta Speech, where I record Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).

I discovered what I call Meta Speech in 2004 while researching Reverse Speech, which at the time was only seriously being studied by an institute in Australia and the US Navy. Both of these organisations were looking at the psychological angle, believing that the subconscious was communicating facts that either (1) the person did not know consciously or (2) the person was hiding. Indeed, a police force in the United States convicted a murderer after the accused told them (via Reverse Speech) where the murder weapon – a gun – was hidden. Impressive, but both the institute and the US Navy said that they had never picked up spirit voices; although if the latter ever did I’m quite sure they would never tell us. In fact, I’m pretty convinced they must have, but we’ll never know for certain. It is important to point out that this technology has nothing to do with so-called back-masking, which certain people in the music industry have used to put messages in reverse onto records. EVP is a natural phenomenon and electronic voice phenomenon recordings picks up spirit voices spoken forwards.

I first became aware of how to record Electronic Voice Phenomena in 2004. It enabled me to have a conversation with my father. He had died two years earlier in late August 2002, so this seriously impressed most people. I still have my first EVP recordings stored on my laptop.

I had paid a visit to a highly respected Midlands-based psychic medium; I had seen him a couple of times before and was intrigued as to what messages I would be able to pick up using Meta Speech, as the readings were always recorded.

With his eyes closed and clutching a small portable cassette recorder, he had already told me that my father was now with Harry (his father, my grandfather), and had gone on to say how he was also with someone called Ken, who I later discovered was an old friend from the 1950s. There was no doubt in my mind that this medium was the ‘real deal’; a belief that was backed up when I played the cassette tape of the session he had given me using Meta Speech. “Thank God, I walk without them pills,” was instantly recognisable, and it made perfect sense to me. My father, for the last 10 years of his life, had been crippled with arthritis, not to mention heart failure, stomach problems and other associated medical curiosities. Every morning when he awoke, he had to take a whole pharmacy of pills just so he could walk without excruciating pain. This was obviously no longer the case. He was dead. However, I was quickly to discover that he was still conscious. 

But could I communicate with my father directly instead of utilising tapes by a clairvoyant? I decided to carry out an experiment.

So it was that I sat down with a friend and attempted to get in touch with the ‘other side’ using Meta Speech. I must admit I felt pretty self-conscious as I turned the tape recorder on and started to question my father. It has to be said, though, that some of humanity’s best work is generated by a longing for the impossible, and there was no doubt in my mind that this was as close to impossible as I could possibly get. Not for the first time in my life I was dead wrong – pun intended.

I asked my father for the name of someone from his past; maybe someone he went to school with. I also stipulated that it must be information I wasn’t aware of. Almost immediately upon playing back the recording I found a message that I didn’t understand, but was probably verifiable. At this time my mother was still alive, so I played her the Meta Speech I had found relating to a possible friend or relative of my father’s: “Father remembers Beryl.”

My mother smiled broadly; she loved anything to do with the supernatural, “Yes, Beryl was a big friend of your dad’s. He used to go to school with her. She married his best friend, Dennis.”  I hadn’t dared hope that this could be true, and when I found out it was it almost took my breath away. 

I immediately wanted to ask my father more questions, and following the ‘Beryl’ Meta Speech I felt far more confident of getting a result.

Christmas is a time to be joyous and celebrate life; truly, it is the most wonderful time of the year. Well, that’s not strictly true in my family. My mother had a massive stroke on Christmas Day 2005, and 19 years earlier my father’s brother, Eric, had a heart attack. Two heart attacks actually, the second one killing him.

I had always liked Eric, and as I sat recording yet another conversation with my invisible father I said so. I was talking about Eric because I wondered whether my father had met up with him in the afterlife. I quickly discovered that he had. “Eric’s up here with me,” was the Meta Speech I picked up.

Towards the end of this particular recording session, I suddenly felt a presence in the room and ‘electricity’ started to flow through my body. Intuitively, I felt my father was close, and in voicing this opinion I got the following response: “My hands work, hear me Rick.”

As already stated, for a number of years before his passing my father was crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, and his hands were particularly bad. He couldn’t hold anything securely, and even turning the pages of a book was difficult. ‘Rick’ was the name I was called as a child (a shortening of Roderick), but the last time I was called that was over 40 years ago. 

Taking this idea on-board will require many readers to discard nearly everything they think they know about how the world works. I realise that this is a significant request, and I do not make it lightly. But had I had a direct message from Heaven? Surely, that is like someone saying “Here you are, download this piece of software and you can have the same experience as Moses.”  Yet, I can’t find another reasonable solution.

As a result, over the past 10+ years I have been able to make electronic voice phenomenon recordings numerous times providing spirit readings for people. Loved ones who have passed on, guides and other entities turn up to give their thoughts or advice. It has also proven an excellent route for investigating past lives. I can never say who will appear when I get electronic voice phenomenon recordings, but I can virtually guarantee someone will!
