Hello everyone!
I am a paranormal writer/researcher specializing in EVP, based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I am also the Rocky Mountain Regional Coordinator for the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP), who were in consultation on the movie White Noise. Sadly, the filmmakers badly distorted the idea of EVP, which was distressing to all of us who are members of the AA-EVP, as we all had such high hopes of enlightening the public on this fascinating subject. Partly as an effort to counter the myths, I have threaded together my own experiences with both the paranormal as well as EVP into a true-life novel (see my signature), which accurately depicts the paranormal, EVP, as well as ghost walks and ghost investigations as carried out by our paranormal investigation group.
Being a huge fan of LivingTVs "Most Haunted," I was excited to find a forum of UK ghost-devotees! Brits seem much more open and enthusiastic about the paranormal than Americans, who often are quite closed-minded. (The US certainly has no registered haunted locations as the UK does! Nor are we likely to anytime soon. :( )
I look forward to reading some of your posts on ghostly happenings, and if anyone wants to discuss anything in particular with me, drop me a line! |

I've heard of Borley Rectory, yes! Would love to go there someday...I'm sure there are many ghosts there who are talking but maybe no one listening. :?
At any rate, for some reason it seems that entities like to talk to me, which is why I get at least one EVP (usually lots more) every time I record; I think maybe there've been one or two recordings out of the hundreds I've done where I have not really heard anything.
Ciao :) |

Oh, of course we have LOTS of haunted places---I've lived in about half of them! 
What I said was that we don't have any registered haunted locations, like the UK does. There has been a small amount of movement in this direction--real estate agents now must put a "paranormal clause" in the contracts of any dwelling known to have reported paranormal activity. But in general the attitude here towards the paranormal is not nearly as open-minded as in the UK. :(
Also, the UK's history goes back further, being an older country than the US. So where you guys have all these great castles and manor houses built 300, 500, 600 years ago, we have very little that goes back even 300 years. With all that history there're bound to be ghosts!
Wish I lived there!  |

Gladly! If I could figure a way to do it I'd be there in a heartbeat. Or less!! I know I've had at least one past life in England, possibly more, and I often wonder if my lifelong dream of living there (read: longing to go home) is because I have unfinished business there.
As for a big house, haven't got one yet. I think I must have pissed off Fortune a long time ago, as (s)he hasn't spoken to me in...well, maybe never.
Okay, maybe it's just been a really long time. :?
On the brighter side, maybe my subconscious has actually just been blocking me from buying a house because I'd just have to turn around and sell it to move over there!
I do remember reading that the UK has over 10,000 registered haunted locations, but offhand I can't recall where I read that. If I find it I'll post it here.
In the meantime, if anyone knows of someone wanting to adopt an adult American, let me know. :wink: |

Well, I don't know if I'd call it a "business" -- doesn't pay very well (unless you've got a TV show about it!). But I've been getting EVPs since 1994, though not full-time; for a long time I just thought it was weird how I'd pick up voices on recordings that weren't there when I recorded it. Then I found out it had a name and was a legitimate part of paranormal investigating, so then I started recording in earnest.
As for weirdest story, hard to say which one's "weirdest," though the recording that recorded itself was pretty strange:
The day I bought my IC (digital) recorder -- I think in the UK it's called a "dictaphone" -- I tested it out with a few short trial recordings. That night my sister went on an investigation that I could not attend, and afterward she called all excited because they'd gotten some pretty wild EVPs. She and the other two investigators in our group came over to my place and we made some more recordings on my new recorder.
All pretty average-sounding stuff --- until I went back to play all the recordings on the recorder and found one I had NOT recorded. The recorder numbers each recording automatically, and between the test ones I'd done earlier that afternoon and the ones our group did later that night was a nine-second recording that sounds like "Can we come in? ... Help!"
Logic suggested that perhaps my eight-yr-old son had played with the recorder when I wasn't looking. To test my theory I had him attempt to simulate the recording. First, he didn't even know where the record button was, and second, the voice is clearly different. To this day I don't know where that 9-second recording came from.
I've also had at least one other occasion where a recording seemed to "appear" on my recorder from nowhere. If you're curious, let me know and I'll send you the .mp3s of both the original and my son's attempted recreation. |
