This episode centers around one particular investigation and the EVP recorded there. It features the concept that sometimes mediums and evidence can back each other up, thereby emphasizing the importance of trying to understand spirit by using all the tools at your disposal – even if a little faith might be required. Join us as we meet “the Commander” and his lady, who kindly postponed their night on the town to talk to us and share some of who there were – and still are. 

Some mediums are born; others become. K.C. Lane seems to fit into both categories. In this episode, I interview K.C. as she describes the traumatic events that led to her mediumship and shares some of the ways her gift shows itself. I’ve witnessed her in action and can attest to her uncanny accuracy and sensitivity, but her personal story indicates that her endeavors are the result of a bona fide calling. In this, our third show centered completely around mediums, we discover yet...

The phrase “established methods” can frequently get in the way. When attempting spirit communication through EVP there should be some requirements we can expect to put in place, but are we all but eliminating those necessary efforts to think outside the box or shift the paradigms of our search? It seems that sometimes we discourage communication success by removing the acceptance of possible, credible results for the sake of adhering to a strong and well-established status quo. EVP...

We all have different and somewhat personal opinions when it comes to EVP, but for those of us who believe they are a paranormal phenomenon, it’s more about our point of view. Depending on which camp you fall into, one thing is definitely certain – EVP frequently occur when you least expect it, and what they say can be equally surprising. This episode discusses these surprising EVP and offers some example voices that represent my own experiences. When you least expect them…

EVP can effect all of us differently and touch us individually in unique ways. Sometimes it’s a simple as making us laugh, or as complex as suggesting philosophical concepts, but they are always offering some kind of insight into the next realm. The real question is what we make of them and how they speak to us personally, and how well we choose to listen. The voices may not be providing very many answers to our burning questions, but there is still much to learn. This...

Everything about EVP is highly personal. There may be many who prefer to think of paranormal research as dry and unemotional, but deep inside we know it's personal. You can't get into it with a spirit and not be willing to deal with him or her much the same way you would deal with the so-called living. It doesn't work otherwise. This episode features a chapter from the unfinished book Listen (by Randall Keller) entitled “Complete Entities,” and focuses on the necessity of taking a...

We want to see spirit as mystical – something metaphysical. We want spirits to be beyond the laws of nature and science – to exceed that which governs every other single thing in the universe. But aren’t they really nothing more than quantum entities – sub-atomic physical remnants of our previous humanity? As such, they seem still able to both exist and interact with the world even though they are, for all practical purposes, invisible to our sensory limitations? Like all quantum...

Several months ago we set out on the quest to find a medium who would give a reading for the podcast in real time – “on the air,” so to speak. We’ve finally been blessed with Ella who has courageously done just that. This episode contains both the reading itself and a brief discussion afterward between the two of us. You’ll be able to hear every word without censor, and hopefully you’ll be inclined to enjoy the experience right along with me. It is also my hope that you find it both...

Most of the EVP we’ve captured over the years never reveal enough evidence to unquestionably prove anything beyond their existence. Unless we go out of our way to find them, most spirits hide away, effectively remaining invisible even though there are some very strong indications that they are not only there, but there in much higher numbers than we ever thought was possible. Still, its not proven; its not fact. However, one thing they do prove is that there is more to existence. They...

The Voices Podcast is dedicated to the research and understanding of electronic voice phenomena. Author Randall Keller hosts.

There are few things more captivating than seeing a piece of footage that shows something we feel might legitimately prove to be paranormal; just as exciting when we hear a great EVP. But we forget about the immense amount of time we have to spend watching and listening without any payoff. That evidence we’re so enthralled with is as rare as Spanish gold – of course it’s there, but near Herculean dedication is necessary to find it. Sometimes it’s definitely worth all the effort, but is it...

For this episode we’ll speak with a spirit named Kirby, and see what he can tell us about himself. Spirits don’t often say a lot, but frequently we can learn from them as they reveal their humanity and provide some insight into the nature of our relationship together. Voices like his may be saying just enough to let us know they are there and that’s all. Their purpose may be nothing more than that – to let us know that the promises are real – that there is someplace else to be. How can simply...

Spirit voices commonly go well beyond the usual one syllable word and off-handed response. Frequently, they come in pairs – two or more voices in conversation or commentary. A conversation within a conversation. For this episode, we’ll look at the phenomenon by way of a podcast within a podcast. We’ll feature an almost completely unheard podcast from the precursor to The Voices Podcast – MPG EVP. Originally recorded sometime in early 2007, this blast from the past should be interesting -...

Sometimes the mind fills in the blanks when we’re not certain what it is we see or hear, and sometimes, it’s wrong. It’s difficult to know when that’s happening, but it’s definitely something we need to be able to recognize. In dealing with anything paranormal, we have to be able to produce evidence. Personal experiences are not evidence. Personal experiences further the mythology of things. Evidence furthers the truth of them.

One truth about EVP is that there’s really no tried and true methods for success - what works for one researcher, fails miserably for another. However, there may be some approaches that will work for all of us and still provide a good starting point toward the discovery of what is most comfortable individually. This episode attempts to isolate a few methods and mindsets that work best for me. We may all relate to many of these, but hopefully there are a few unique ideas that will help us...

The ancient Greeks thought the concept of nothing was illogical. The moment you contemplate “nothing”, it becomes something. But are we even able to understand the concept of there being nothing? Perhaps its so foreign and far removed from the human experience that words – even thought – can offer no adequate description or shred of enlightenment. And how might that nothingness apply to the paranormal? Where else does our paranormal come from if not from nowhere? There is no nothing. Or is...

With all the paranormal information that’s available and the growing accumulation of paranormal evidence, is there anything we can actually prove as fact? And if not, isn’t it entirely possible that we’re doing paranormal damage to the very people we purport to help? EVP research needs to continue vigorously, as do other paranormal studies, but perhaps the authority and confidence with which we disseminate our knowledge and theoretical analysis needs to be reconsidered. It is true that we “do...

For this episode, we interview BJ Moylan – a long time paranormal investigator and innovator within the field. BJ is also the founder of PHPRS (Perry Hall Paranormal Research Society), a Baltimore area based paranormal research team, but he has recently taken a sabbatical from investigation - he’ll tell us why. We will also explore his thoughts on the paranormal in general, the current state of the field, listen to some stories, and come away with the strong commitment to always take things...

The main objective of any paranormal investigation is always to accomplish spirit communication. We want to hear from them and see them, hopefully, but very little is actually within our control. However, spirits can become really curious, so when we invade an environment and set up all sorts of equipment, it should help to allow the location time to settle – without our presence. By letting a place breathe – alone, it seems logical to many of us that the entities involved will appreciate the...

There are many ways to skin an EVP. Truly different strokes for different investigators. Some specific situations and locations require different approaches as well. There are some constants, but this episode explores a few of these different methods and practices while providing some EVP examples.

This episode centers around a number of recurring email questions directed to the Podcast - beginning with Halloween. We use a number of stories from actual investigations and some current EVP to answer the questions and hopefully shed some light on possible methods and concepts.

Is it so easy to think of paranormal researchers as just crazy people who hear and see things that no one else hears or sees? Sometimes EVP evidence is obvious and all the researcher does is discover it, but our willingness not to accept becomes too overpowering. And sometimes, that same investigator misunderstands what he hears – makes assumptions he should not make; tries to create facts where there are none. It’s a strange field because so little is actually known, and facts are very few...

Fear of something paranormal is a fairly normal thing and nothing to be ashamed about. Some think it’s even a healthy response. Still, Investigators and researchers are forced to deal with their own fear quickly and decisively, and when that becomes impossible, must face the possibility that paranormal studies may not be for them. This episode deals with a fear of mine – something that showed up without warning and centered around the heart of a new sleep experiment. The episode also features...

Over the years, and for a variety of reasons, I’ve developed an affinity with some of the EVP I’ve managed to capture. Whether it’s because they make me laugh, touch my heart, or just plain teach me something new, for some reason these voices have gained a spot on my most favorite list. Of course, the list is too large for just one episode, so this is only the first in a series I’ll be featuring every once in awhile. This episode deals primarily with those EVP with a very personal...
