I believe that EVPs are possibly real, the majority of them that have come from credible sources anyways. Why and how this happens, who knows. I do remain skeptic on this however as I have yet to catch an EVP of my own.

I don't give a shit if ghosts are real or not ... I'm simply not ruling it out.
so true Cinjin. i wasn't saying i believe in ghosts, just saying that i think i've witnessed it, while admitting that it may been a figment of my imagination.
@Mosrhun, there's nothing wrong with leaving unexplainables open to possibilities, imo. haven't seen evidence of EVPs tho.

Everything is possibly real I guess. I've never seen any credible sources myself thou, so I wouldn't want to jump to conclusions.
Not Magic is a good place to start thou.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?

I actually plan to go on a "ghost hunt" in some of the supposedly haunted buildings here in Florida. If I'm able to capture an EVP then obviously I'll consider that proof enough. It still leaves the question of how it happens though.

Darwinain went on one in england, his write up of the experience was hilarious.

They are real. They are nothing more then random static that we hear as patterns and other mundane explanations. There is nothing "supernatural" about them in any way shape or form.

I will go on the record as a believer is ghosts, spirits, angels, demons,...the whole shebang. But I don't insist that others do.

That is not surprising nor are you an atheist.

I see no more evidence for ghosts than for gods. The human brain is perfectly capable of "seeing" what it imagines or at least convincing itself that it saw something.

Not just capable, but amazingly good at it. Our brains lie to us ALL the time. Wherever the input is lacking or unclear, our brains fill in the gaps with what our memories and, yes, our desires tell it should fill those gaps. Much (Very Much) of our perception is simply our brain's best guess.
