text: I have only recently began to try my hand at electronic voice phenemon.  My first time out we went to the Gnadenhutten, OH - Movarian Indian massacre site (now a park). Across the street from it is a cemetery.\n\nAnyhow, we took an Olympus digital recorder set on manual record. My fiance' and son went out and took pictures and I started talking into the recorder.\n\nWhen we got home we were shocked at the results. I got some very strong EVPs from that location.\nThere was a lawn mower going over in the cemetery so I think that worked as white noise. Since then I haven't had quite as good of luck but I have managed to get a couple of others.\nThe best results I have gotten I had something electrical in the back ground.  I have tried recording with no white noise and not gotten anything. But I'm so new at it I can't say that you defintely need or don't need white noise.\n\nI do know that you should say Hello and talk as if you believe you are talking to someone.\n\nYou should record for only a few minutes at a time. When playing back its easier to analyze small chunks rather than an hour or so.\n\nIf you are recording talk in a normal voice and if something happens in the distance like a car drives by or a dog barks, say something on the recorder about it so you aren't trying to remember if thats real or an EVP.\n\nDon't listen to the recordings til you are done with the site. Its best to listen to them in a quiet place that you are comfortable with - in case there is someting on there that shocks or frightens you.\n\nAlways be respectful. Do not taunt or torment anyone or anything.\n\nNot all spooky, old places are haunted. Not all cemeteries are peaceful.\n\nIf you'd like to hear my EVPs, please feel free to IM me and I will send a link to them. They are on Putfile.com.
