Received this from Ron "Q" Millione of TAPS regarding a brief synopsis of EVPs. THANKS RON!
Electronic Voice Phenomenon or, more widely known as E.V.P., what is it? E.V.P. is simply the ability to record voices of the dead on audiotape. This phenomenon has been around since the 1920’s and had the interest of the well known scientist Thomas Edison * October 1920 issue of 'Scientific American'* who believed that the use of recording devices or other such apparatus, could very well be the communication link between this world and the other.
These voices are never heard during the recording process, only upon playback is these phenomena heard which makes it an easy target for debunkers, many of which believe that the voices are added to the tracks afterward by the person doing recordings. Many of the results are short phrases, single words, laughs or other human-like vocal sounds. E.V.P. voices are not limited to English speaking occurrences; there have been some recordings of foreign languages as well as animals.
Many believe that these voices are happening due to the electromagnetic energies that comprise a spirit, or the use of “ectoplasm” focused onto the tape, or digital recording media.
The correlation of E.V.P. and Reverse Speech Phenomenon are close. Whereas E.V.P. is the recording of disembodied voices, Reverse Speech is the occurrence of the recording of a person speaking normally and the resulting tape played backwards. The study of Reverse Speech has been around for quite some time. And some believe that the use of this can bring to light the underlying feelings of the speaker. For 20 years researcher David John Oates has been studying this phenomenon, referring to it as a sub-conscious Truth Detector.
