I've heard some pretty compelling EVP's, however I remain skeptical of their validity. If you were to capture one of your own that was a clear response, not just static interference, what would you think of it?

Tape not fully erased, auditory pareidolia, hallucination, background noise, etc...

EVPs are evidence of nothing.

Tape? Is this 1996? Valid points though.

self delusion, hallucination, temporary insanity, class A drugs.
Just like god, UFO's and the loch ness monster, there's never been a single credible piece of evidence to support it.
Video evidence is worthless these days as it can be manipulated so easily. Even if I saw with my own eyes I'd assume it was just an acid flashback to 1997

So would it be a waste of my time to attempt and capture an EVP and share it with you guys in the future?

where do they get their clothes? is there a ghost fashion boutique? a friend of mine posed this question the other day, so i looked it up.

http://paranormal.about.com/od/ghosthunt...042708.htm

laughable bullshit.

i had a few strange, seemingly supernatural experiences in my life. just because there seemed to be no logical explanation at the time, doesn't mean there wasn't one.

I'm not talking about physically seeing a "ghost", just capturing voice phenomenon.
