Recorded Disembodied Voices
Electronic Voice Phenomena, better known as EVP, are said to be the voices of ghosts recorded by electronic means over a layer of white noise. The use of EVPs was popularized during the 1970s by Konstantins Raudive, a renowned parapsychologist. Today, many paranormal investigation teams utilize this method as a means of communicating and recording disembodied voices when exploring haunted locations. While some skeptics argue that recorded voices must be coming from nearby personnel, this argument doesn’t stand when it comes to investigations that have taken place in empty and abandoned places. Here are five of the most creepy EVPs ever recorded by paranormal investigation teams.
1. The Haunted Hotel
In January of 2007, a paranormal investigation team, called the Central New York Ghost Hunters, were invited to investigate a haunted hotel in upstate in New York. The owners of the hotel asked that the exact location remain confidential, as they were afraid that the hotel might lose business if the hauntings were made public.
The owners of the hotel stated that a lot of activity seemed centered around the staircase, so the paranormal team placed an EVP recorder at the base of the stairs overnight. Expecting to hear a couple of disembodied noises and voices at best, the group was shocked and terrified to discover a plethora of phantom voices and sounds on the recorder, which sounds like a recording straight out of an intense horror movie.
On the recording, numerous female voices, as well as one male voice, can be heard having lengthy conversations. There also seems to be some kind of paranormal attack going on, though it is not entirely clear. What is clear is that the male voice says “help me” numerous times throughout the hair-raising recording. Every member of the paranormal team agreed that this was the most paranormal activity they had ever encountered in their entire careers as ghost hunters.
