When I first started investigating the paranormal, I didn’t have a lot of extra cash to purchase all the fancy equipment I saw on the paranormal TV shows. I actually started out with a digital recorder, a small digital camera and a flashlight. I learned that these basics along with my instincts would provide me with some great evidence.
Over the years, I have captured more EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) than any other type of evidence. I use several digital recorders during an investigation. I will drop some at known hot spots, but I will always carry one which is continuously running. Why do I do this? It’s because when I get a feeling, I like to have the recorder already going. Call it intuition that I am not alone anymore. If I had to take the time to turn the recorder on, I would have missed an opportunity to capture some great evidence.
For example while at Fort Mifflin outside the door to Casemate 4, I had a strange feeling that I was never really alone. It wasn’t the Boy Scouts who were running around. There was always something else hanging around waiting to be heard. That night, while answering questions from the boys, I left my digital recorder recording because of “my feeling”. During this time I was able to capture two distinct messages behind our conversation. Had I not followed my instinct and turned off the digital recorder, I would have missed out on two great EVPs.
Below are these EVPs I captured. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)
Another example of following my instinct was at Union Cemetery. At the end of the investigation, Dave, a member of the NJ Paranormal Group, and I walked down the paved path out of the cemetery. Under a large tree hiding behind a large tombstone, I noticed a man standing there. We decided to head over that way and check it out. During our brief inspection of the area, I caught a class A EVP of a sing song voice telling Tillie to be careful, he’ll hear you.
Below is this EVP. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)
This shows that you don’t need the fancy equipment to get great results. Keep it simple and trust your instincts.
