Ghost Town EVPs

Show Audio

Highlights:

A Double EVP win real A Compassionate EVP win real

Brendan Cook & Barbara McBeath (ghostpix.com(1)) of theGhost Investigators Society (G.I.S.) were back on the show on Thursday night, with an all new set of electronic voice phenomena to share. The majority of these sound clips were recorded at the "brewery" that is part of the Gold Hill Hotel in Virginia City, a ghost town in Nevada. "The entire city seems to be haunted," Cook said.

Among the ghost voices they captured were a little girl plaintively asking "are you alone?" and a crusty older man exhorting: "I'm gonna kill ya right here." The latter clip was of special interest as it showed up on both digital and analog tape recorders simultaneously. In another unusual EVP they played (which was taped at a mausoleum) the sound of Cook falling down some stairs is heard and then a female voice asks "Are you OK?" This is an example of a "compassionate" EVP, McBeath said.

One technique G.I.S. uses to glean material, is to ask the would-be entities questions as they walk about an investigation site. "Just like people, most people won't enter a conversation if they're not invited" into it, McBeath explained. Often the EVPs they get, do seem to be related to their conversation. Others though appear unconnected or disjointed, and sometimes seem to be responding to voices on the other side rather than theirs.
