…off of Amazon, in fact. (EVP stands for ‘electronic voice phenomenon’, in case you don’t know. It’s used by ghost hunters.)
Anyways, my father died 10 years ago, this year. And my mother 15 years before that. I was very close to both of them. And I seemed to notice phenomenon shortly after my father’s death, that seemed ghostly. (Keep in mind I am rather skeptical, even nonbelieving, when it comes to an afterlife.)
Yeah, I would be sleeping in bed, late for an appointment. And I would hear my father’s voice coming from his bedroom telling me to get my ass out of bed. Now my father would do that, if he were still around (my father was only late for work one time in his life–I’m serious). Okay, sounds like a waking dream, you would say. But one time I was late, and I was fully awake. And I heard his voice coming from the master bedroom. I immediately ran to the room. The TV was on. And I rewound the satellite signal to recapture the sound, reasoning it was just something on TV. It wasn’t.
Anyways, I have to tell you more. I am going to use it on All Souls’ Eve. That is the day, the Roman Catholic Church teaches, souls are temporarily released from the bounds in Purgatory, and presumably elsewhere, I would think. It is actually the day following Hallowe’en and All Saints’ Day. And I am going to use it (the EVP) at the solar midnight. Also known as sundial time, I guess (though you realize it continues after sunset). Adjusting for Daylight Savings Time, along with the deviation from mean standard time, I estimate that will be around 1:30AM Eastern Standard Time.
Oh, and funny story, about All Souls’ Eve. My maternal grandmother (who died in 1971, when I was 3), had a horrible fear about All Souls’ Eve. Apparently, my mother recalled, it was for the above reason. (As my mother jokingly pointed out once, she wasn’t afraid of the saints, just the souls LOL.) Anyways, my mother, or her sister (otherwise known as my aunt), had to stay with her, in her home near Hamtramck, MI (her husband, tragically died in 1963, 5 years before I was born). Then one year, my mother called up my grandmother, and said she was sorry. She was busy, so she didn’t get the opportunity to stay with her that year. My grandmother reacted in shock. You mean the day already came and went, she exclaimed. Kind of funny, I guess.
Anyways, my last question. I am going to do it All Souls’ Eve as I said. Does anyone want me to post what happens here? Tell me now, if you do. Because the day, or rather I should say eve, is fast approaching.
