I Bought An EVP Device

Or a goose walking over someone’s grave.

Well I know all of you are just dying to get the results of what happened :face_with_raised_eyebrow: .

First of all, I didn’t get the most expensive one off of Amazon. I got a small one, for about ten bucks IIRC. And it didn’t come with instructions (no you heard me right, it didn’t). So I don’t even know if I was using it the right way (little help :slight_smile: ?).

Nothing usual was recorded on the device. Though I did manage to record my own voice twice. And I am still glad I got. Best ten dollars I ever spent.

But I do have to tell you all something odd that happened. I got this motion detector witch figurine from Dollar Tree. It is only supposed to go off when it detects motion. And basically it does.

Anyway, it went off for no apparent reason today at 3:49p. I ran into the livingroom where I have it, to see what’s up. And I could determine no reason why it should do that. In fact I am in the livingroom right now looking at it. And it is quiescent now.

Of course you know the master bedroom is my main focus of paranormal activity (and that is where I tried the EVP last night, at about 1:30).

Just thought I’d include that one. And I am going to try it again, once I work out the bugs. It always works on the Travel Channel. So I must be doing something wrong.

:slight_smile:

So was it basically a sound recording device, or was there some other additional function to it?

Lucky you. Trust me, millions of Catholic children everywhere envy you. :wink:

Maybe @Guinastasia knows for sure, but I think you’re supposed to notify The Vatican.

Somehow, I doubt that a gadget you got from Dollar Tree would be that reliable.

Those of us who have actually died would probably have high-tailed it over to your place to get registered on one of your various devices.

I actually felt half-dead the other morning due to an excessive consumption of wine with dinner and rum after dinner the previous night. I’m curious if, in my capacity of being half-dead, I might have been half-seen in any of your ghost-tuned observation devices. I would have looked like one of these:

After I became enamored of Veggie Tales Silly Songs, a friend bought me a singing and dancing Larry The Cucumber toy. I loved it. I put in batteries and demonstrated it to all guests. I took the batteries out when it began singing and dancing on its own without anybody pushing the button.

Given the choice between paranormal event that defies the laws of physics and the mass produced cheap thing you bought is a malfunctioning piece of crap*, I’m going with door number 2.

  • Note, Larry is not a piece of crap and was bought new for around $20. If a toy of that level can have such a defect, surely something from Dollar Tree can as well.

ETA I have considered that my Larry toy was possessed by the spirit of the Lake Shore Strangler, and will one day try to kill me. I’m not worried because the Larry doll has no legs, no arms, and soft rubber teeth.

If you want to do it the Travel Channel way you need 7000 hours of recordings and a willingness to lie by edit.

I mean, I guess $10 is a pretty good deal for a voice memo recorder. But my phone already does the same thing.
