EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena. Simply put, EVP's are recordings of spirit voices. At the time of a recording nothing is heard, but when played back you may hear voices. Often the recording has to be amplified and clarified using Audio editing software. You can record EVP's using any audio recording device, however it should either have an external microphone or be a Digital recorder, so no mechanical noises from the operation of the recorder is picked up.
A note on the time of day or night, the listed time is when the recording was started, if multiple recordings are listed at the same time, and two recorders were not used at the same time, then the listed time is the start time of the recording. Our recording sessions are usually 2-3 minutes in length, so the actual recording time might be off by one or two minutes. If we record for a much longer time, such as five minutes or longer (which is unlikely) then the actual recording time of the EVP will be noted.
Here are some of the EVP's we have recorded. Most of these EVP's are very low and you might have to turn your volume up in order to hear them.
Gary's recording in an old abondoned house.
Says, "I'mo git u for foolin'wid me."
Avenel Board Room. Sandy and Sue asked if anyone wanted to talk.

Time: 7:15 PM
Date: 3/29/06
Location: Booger Woods
Recorded By: Sue Sereno, Jonathan Ayers, Peggy Graybill
We did not think we would get anything with this one. The birds in the woods were chirping constantly, but in-between chirps we heard something, we could not clear it up to understand exactly what was said, but before that we got this one, we have no idea what the voice is referring to, the standard opening question had been asked several seconds before.
Time: 7:10 PM
Date: 4/02/06
Location: Booger Woods
Recorded By: Jonathan Ayers, Sue Sereno
This was recorded on my Digital Recorder, this is a voice apparantly saying my name, this was not on Sue's Recorder.
Time: 8:00 PM
Date: 4/02/06
Location: Booger Woods
Recorded By: Sandra Ayers
After asking the opening question, then several more, there was this reply, apparantly calling her "honey".
Time: Around 10:00 AM
Date: 8/9/2005
Location: Old Fort Jackson, Savannah, Georgia
Recorded By: Sue Sereno
After asking if anyone was there, Sue got this reply.
Time: About 9:15 PM
Date: 7/01/2006
Location: Avenel House, Bedford, Virginia
Recorded By: Jonathan Ayers
I went into the Lee room to retrieve the Sony video camera and to make a recording, and got this one and the one below.
Time: About 9:15 PM
Date: 7/01/2006
Location: Avenel House, Bedford, Virginia
Recorded By: Jonathan Ayers
I asked if anyone wanted to make their presence known and got a woman's voice saying this.
Time: 8:50 PM
Date: 7/01/2006
Location: Avenel House, Bedford, Virginia
Recorded By: Peggy Graybill
Peggy and Sandy were in the downstairs parlor. Peggy left her Digital recorder on the couch, while they walked around to take pictures. She got a cat meowing on the recording, but there was no cat in the house.
Time: 1:18 PM
Date: 7/08/2006
Location: Pest House Museum, Old City Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia
Recorded By: Jonathan Ayers
The Pest House is Lynchburg's first hospital. It is a small two-room house. During the Civil War Pestilence (and any other infectious diseases) were treated there by Dr. John Jay Terrell. A few years ago Sue's daughter Pam got an EVP saying "Water please", I asked if the person who said there was still there, and got this reply. A note on the sound quality, my question and the EVP change tones because the EVP has been filtered and amplified, however this would make my voice sound extremely loud so I applied the filtering only to the EVP section.
Time: 1:52 PM
Date: 7/08/2006
Location: Presbyterian Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia
Recorded By: Jonathan Ayers
I noticed while recording this there was a headstone several feet in front of me with the name "Pound" and on the bottom "The voices we love are stilled." engraved on the bottom. I thought the irony of this was funny, because through EVP we can see that the voices are not stilled. Immediately after making a comment about it a woman's voice says this. We have no idea what it means or what she is referring to.
Time: Approximately 8:30 PM
Date: 8/12/2006
Location: Avenel House, Bedford, Virginia
Recorded By: Gary and Nanci Hall
GHOSTEC was contacted by an individual who had done an investigation of the Avenel House after our second investigation. Gary and his wife had set up several Infrared cameras and left two cassette recorders in both the Lee room and the pink room. He and his wife went downstairs to let the equipment record. No one else was in the house at the time. Upon reviewing the cassette tapes there was a loud bang that sounds as if something had hit the floor. However, according to Gary, when they went back upstairs to retrieve the equipment nothing was out of place, and they had not heard the loud noise downstairs. Gary met us and we reviewed the recording, and with his permission digitized it. After digitizing it there are sounds present that Gary and Nanci were not aware of before, what sounds like two quick, heavy breaths, movement and the sounds of bed springs. This correlates with the legend of the bed in the Lee room which is supposed to have someone sit on it and a depression becoming visible. (however this recording was not in the Lee room) With his permission we have posted the recordings. Interestingly the second cassette recorder located in the Lee room, which is two rooms away from the pink room, also recorded this loud bang. That recording is below.

This was recorded at the grave of famous poet Ann Spencer. At the time of the recorder a man in a loud pickup truck drove through the cemetary, and unfortunately we did get the rumble of his engine in the recording. However we also got what sounds like a man and a woman talking. We cannot tell what they are saying, but it does sound like a conversation, or as if the man is asking the woman something.

Gary tried an experiment in the abandoned house. He used an ultrasonic transmitter to create a tone, and played it while recording. He got a voice saying "Please be quiet." It might be hard to hear it, but it's at the end of the EVP. The tone you hear is the ultrasonic transmitter.
