EVP
Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) is the practice of recording sounds, speech, and other mysterious voices from the unknown. A major motion picture staring Michael Keaton appeared in 2005, which was based on this techno-thriller concept. (see poster LEFT & TRAILER to follow)
Many people (both past & present) believe it’s possible to communicate with ghosts or other worldly beings that we can’t see. There have been countless attempts to do this utilizing oracles, seances, mediums and psychics. With today’s technology and advanced electronics, there is now an easier and more effective method to attempt said work: EVP recorders.
EVP occurs when human-sounding voices issue from an unknown source, ultimately showing up on a recording. While this has manifested through several forms of media, it’s usually stems from an overt audio source. The recorder doesn't hear the voices while they are recorded, only after the tape is played back. Often times special techniques (like noise filtering and amplification) need to be employed in order to hear them.
EVP has picked up the voices of men and women, adults and children. The voices usually speak in one-word sentences or short phrases. They may at times not even be words at all, but simply vocalizations like grunts, groans, cries or growling. EVP has also been recorded in many different languages.
There are also several accepted quality levels of EVP recordings, which vary by clarity. Some are almost impossible to decipher, while others are crystal clear in what they are saying. Actual recorded audio examples of these types are given later on. There are in fact three standard classes accepted by most researchers, which are:
- Class A: Loud, easily heard and usually completely understood by anyone that hears it. 10% interpretative.
- Class B: Not as loud or distinct as Class A, and there is usually some sort of voice distortion. 50% interpretative.
- Class C: Extremely hard to decipher, very low volume and a lot of distortion. 90% interpretative.
Undoubtedly the most convincing aspect of this phenomenon, is when the subject on the EVP appears to interact with the one who is making the recording. For instance, the person may ask a question and the disembodied voice will answer that question. The recorder won’t usually know this until the tape is played back later.
Who or what are these voices? This question has yet to be answered convincingly, although there are many theories and several strong indicators. Ideas include:
* the theory that the voices come from people who have died
* that they come from people in another dimension
* that the researcher’s own thoughts are being psychometrically projected onto the tape
* that the voices are angels or demons, or
* that they are complete hoaxes and don’t really exist at all.
Skeptics say that EVP is nothing more than random noise or voice transmission from radio, cell phones or other sources across the airways. So, on the intuition that it amounts to something more than "hoax," and in the spirit of honest inquiry, the phenomenon and evidence will be presented in the pages to follow.

Prof. Ervin Laszlo is one of the world's foremost systems theorists and thinkers, nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize, for his global contributions to humanistic knowledge.
Dr. Laszlo, through his investigative contact with Italian radio-medium Marcello Bacci, has more than once turned his attentions to a scientific explanation of EVP and ITC.
In the .pdf article to follow, he brings his formidable scientific background to bear, formulating a new theoretical framework for EVP within the realm of Quantum Physics. Click on the ADOBE file below to read.
