How to capture ghost voices!

The dead do talk, and with the help of electronic devices we can hear them! I've recorded them and I know you can too! I've even captured voices in places that have had no known tragedy or history of a death. It seems that when ghosts catch on to what we're doing they add their two cents. I must warn you though, it's usually the ones that are distressed and saddened with despair.

EVP ( ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA )
Rating system for EVP's
	Class A	The voices are understood by all that listen. The words are actually somewhat loud and clear (rare).
	Class B	Voices cannot be deciphered clearly and tones are very low and hard to understand
	Class C	Voices are extremely faint and almost completely incomprehensible (most common).

"A good investigator is objective. Adheres to scientific protocols, eliminates all other possibilities and presents what is found"

Let's Get started...
First of all There are three proven ways to gather ghost recordings on tape. 1. Lay the unit down with MIC extended, ask a few questions and walk away for twenty minutes. 2. This time lay the unit down and stay there asking questions and pausing for a response. 3. Gently carry the recorder around with you as your walk. Stop and ask a question, pause for answer then move on to the next stop.

Here are fourteen helpful tips:

1. Only use name brands tapes, not department store specials. The better tapes will increase the clarity of the voice you capture and is worth the difference in cost. A tape labeled "normal" from a company such as TDK or Maxell are affordable and fine for use with EVP.

2. It's important to only use new tapes. It's unprofessional to use a previously recorded tape for something as important as this.

3. If possible, use an external microphone. This will drastically cut down on the motor noises and internal sounds from the recording device. Extend the mic away from the unit when recording.

4. If you have to talk on an investigation, do it in a normal voice. Whispering can sound like a ghost voice when playing back the tape.

5. Always maintain a positive attitude and expect to get results.

6. If your recording unit has a sensitivity level, adjust it to the highest level possible. A ghost voice is usually very faint and anything we can do will help.

7. Consider setting your unit to "voice activated" mode if it has it. But only do this if your unit is extra sensitive or has the ability to adjust the sensitivity to high.

8. Both digital and regular tape recorders seem to work fine. However some say reel to reel and full size cassette players work the best but I haven't noticed a difference.

9. At the beginning of your recording session state your location, the time, and the weather conditions at the time.

10. Ask the spirits to talk loudly and even shout if possible. We need that voice as loud and clear as possible. :)

11. On playback to not confuse background noise as a ghost voice! If it sounds like it could be background noise, it most likely is just that.

12. There are several programs that can be used to edit your voice results. You can find some of these on the web at Downloads.com & Tucows.com .

13. Oh, and here's a secret.....when asking questions for a ghostly response, never say "is anyone there?." ALWAYS act like you know they are there. So say something like "what is your name?" or "is there something I can do for you?" Try it. :)

14. Always express your gratitude at the end of the recording session. They like it when you say thank you

Also consider using your video recorder for collecting EVP while filming
