Come listen and find out what happens at the end of a long journey. This is the final episode of The Voices Podcast. Peace.

Why is it important to view paranormal evidence accurately? Sounds like ano-brainer, but its much more subtle and hardly simple. We may see it as eithergood evidence or not. At first glance, it’s black or white, right? Usually, thesecond something is labeled paranormal, it becomes true to those who areinvolved. And likewise, if we have doubt, we discard it and it becomes false bydefault. Black or white – true or false – nothing in the middle there. Butthere are tons of folks in the field who...

Belief and disbelief are part of the same equation, but these days it sometimes seems that to believe in things paranormal indicates a lack of judgment or intelligence. Still, it appears to be quite true that by believing, further study and advancement become possible – disbelief takes us nowhere; teaches us nothing. With EVP, the only requirement of belief comes in accepting that the voice is, in fact, a voice of some kind – not a strange combination of ambient sound, electronic...

Sometimes, even in the face of hard, very convincing evidence, the most difficult part of dealing with EVP and the paranormal is self-doubt. Doubt usually sets in quickly and in a matter of seconds can undo hours and days of comprehensive analysis and substantiated evidence. Doubt has a place, of course, but just like its opposite - belief, it can get in the way and easily obscure the truth. We should always feel free to question evidence at any time, but this kind of doubt,...

To quote The Rolling Stones, “you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need.” This episode is devoted to the final results of the Bi-Location Experiment Phase Two. The experiment centered around results in bi-location tests through use of EVP involving two investigators – one in Newbury UK and the other Baltimore USA. The final results are extremely interesting and as The Stones said, sometimes “you get what you need.”

Before a single word is spoken, EVP can teach us a great deal, and having a multitude of spirit voices to analyze makes it possible. EVP have proven to be our best evidence gathering method and have provided thousands upon thousands of authenticated communications from beyond. This allows us to draw some conclusions and take several steps forward in our efforts to understand both the afterlife and those who are there.

This episode goes back in time about 8 years to replay part of an early pre-Voices broadcast focused on the spirits around children. By offering several samples, we’re able to recognize the presence of many voices you would never hear if it weren’t for EVP. The episode features samples from a single session surrounding a newborn child and takes place in a proven active location. The different voices that seem to have accompanied the child were never recorded before or after this...

In reality, the paranormal invades our lives simply and subtly. It’s rarely about the fabled red-eyed demon thrashing its way into your soul while laughing hysterically. Actually, its calling cards begin quietly. Gentle sounds that shouldn’t be there; momentary breaks in the silence, or voices from the woodwork, or the shadows… The paranormal sneaks up on you and says boo in a hush, because the reality of that is more terrifying. The paranormal surprises you because there’s no reason...

What are your expectations when you record for EVP? Do they owe you a response? And what are your responsibilities to whatever spirits you find? Some of us want to send the spirits we meet into the light – we want to cross them over, but there has always been a nagging question as to the wisdom of doing that. At some point, our insertion into the afterlife equation becomes a moral dilemma, and there is no short supply of opinion as to what our role should be. Or should not be.

On rare occasion, dreams can seem far too real to simply be the meanderings of a weary mind. Sometimes, they are just too intense, or feel like the avenue for contact with deceased loved ones and passed friends. Often, we awake convinced it was real and have to convince ourselves otherwise, but there is some thought that these visitation dreams are exactly as the name suggests – contact from beyond. This episode explores a series of incidents and related EVP surrounding one such dream...

Past studies have shown there are EVP voices to be recorded while we sleep. They are definitely there, but why? What might be going on while we’re safely tucked in for the night, and what can we learn from and about them? The EVP that have been captured during our nightly moments of ultimate vulnerability, seem to run the gamut in terms of subject matter. They do not appear to be a threat to our well-being, but nonetheless, they’re the most odd of the odd – the least expected, and the...

It’s a fine line between truth and illusion, and we truly do not want to find ourselves on the wrong end of the question. But the phenomenon of EVP is supported by a growing history of unimpeachable voices, and under proper scrutiny, represent evidence legitimately worthy of acceptance. Likewise, it’s difficult to help a client in need when skepticism prevents us from even accepting any aspect of their plight. The time has come to stop hiding behind the label of enlightened skeptic and...

Sometimes it can be extremely important to stop, sit back, and take some stock in where we’ve been before we can determine where we want to be in the future. This episode is devoted to revisiting EVP projects and experiments of the past and projecting how they will be updated for the future. It isn’t ever enough to stand stagnant and decide we know enough – it is always the better part of valor to re-evaluate and look for ways to improve. There is no wrong way to go in the paranormal,...

It is a monumental piece of understanding to know that there is in fact an afterlife. It is a wondrous thing to consider. To realize that the human soul; that your own life continues, is a breathtakingly striking thing to know. It’s always been a great comfort to mankind to think that life continues after death, but to actually know it; to go beyond faith; to have actual knowledge, is astounding. Is this the gift of EVP? Despite contradictory opinions, EVP do trace their origin...

Our souls persist and carry the essence of our humanity into an undefined future – something we still will not probably understand when we get there. EVP have allowed us to hear from this other side of a line in the sand of time. EVP have strengthened the idea that this life is not all there is – that what is coming next is maybe even better. Certainly different, but… it is there.

Why do spirits have to appear in recognizable human form? What about all the other unexplained phenomena that don’t look anything like us? There are mists and orbs, rods and shadows, black masses, blobs - all kinds of stuff, but unless it looks exactly like a person, it is often dismissed. My experience suggests it’s more likely a spirit would appear as one of these than in human form. I think many of us are totally missing a number of great opportunities for contact and communication...

Life is like a treasure hunt of sorts. All our answers are already right before us if we would only recognize the great wisdom that’s all around. We may be the smartest creature on earth, but we’re not intelligent enough to do that very often. So, as in life, when it comes to EVP and “the paranormal” we are often forced to come to the unfortunate conclusion that what little we think we know is probably not very often right. We find ourselves frequently saying “I don’t know!” An...

Most of the time we approach EVP sessions with preconceived notions. We expect spirits to conform to these ideas, and frequently, we never deviate from the direction we set out upon. But the vast majority of spirits are as individualistic as we are, and what we usually record are specific conversations. They converse with one another and with us; they interject opinions and comments into our discourse. Most EVP voices are verbally engaged with what’s going on, and sometimes we’re...

As living humans, we hear EVP voices and are compelled to arrive at some kind of understanding – it’s a natural behavior when we hear another voice speak. Scientists sometimes suggest that the human mind interprets ambient sound incorrectly as speech, and therefore extrapolates meaning when its not even there. EVP speech could not be actual voices at all. But I’ve always wondered why it’s acceptable for us to hear one another speak and arrive at conclusions based on what we hear, but...

There are a great many opinions throughout the paranormal about the nature of EVP. One of those centers around the notion that EVP research is just another way to conjure unwanted, evil, and demonic entities. There is, of course, no evidence that this is true, just as there is also no verifiable proof that EVP are the voices of deceased human souls. Regardless, this attitude seems like just one more way to inject some unwarranted fear into the subject instead of more discovery,...

Behind every aspect of living is a web of complex certainties which give us the confidence to believe in the simple solutions we work with every day. The paranormal is no different. Each simple paranormal event; every obvious explanation or theory represents so much more than meets the eye. Still, “simply” is how we deal with things – often ignoring the complications that lie below the surface, but it’s a very complex universe, and there’s so much more at play than we can ever hope to...

Better results with EVP does not mean more results. Instead, what are they telling us? What can we learn from them? What is being revealed – primarily about the spirit we’re fortunate enough to be recording? Truth is, we share our space with the other side - we are equals, so how we talk to them is just as important as if they were alive and visible. We should try to walk a mile in the spirit’s shoes for a change. Be less concerned with our own desired results from the session and more...

People change all the time – so do spirits. Too often we imagine them trapped in a “small” world with limitations we ourselves would be unable to sanely handle. If we believe in an afterlife, why would it be any less vibrant and meaningful than our own life here on this plane? Just as our existence grows and shifts and alters, so too does the world our spirits inhabit. It only makes sense, but more often than not, we characterize that advanced state as static and confining; as lacking...

New year, new voices, but there are a few misconceptions worth talking about. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much we know about EVP or “the paranormal,” there’s stuff we just don’t seem to understand. It’s normal enough though. After all, what can we say with certainty about such a subject. Throw in some popular culture, a little superstition, and some bad information, and we just might believe anything. In addition, this episode includes another surprise EVP captured while the...

There are a lot of us who find ourselves with an intense interest in all things paranormal, and we each arrive at that place for different reasons. But many of us are driven there by personal experiences we can’t explain – experiences we feel an irrepressible need to understand. These “events” may drive us into the arena, but they can also distract and deceive us. Nevertheless, eventually, we realize that it’s not so much what we find while obsessing with our quest, but more the fact...
