**UPDATE!** About a month ago, the folks over at “Burlington County Paranormal Research” set out to do what I could not – find some evidence of paranormal activity in my wife’s office. They set up their equipment in the building and stayed there for several hours one night. Their report is [available online](http://www.bcparanormal.org/013109.html). > [@nd\_n8](#): > > How’s the whispering coming along? > > I noticed there was nothing for EVP in your pack list. Funny you should ask. I had mentioned in my postings that night that… > [@](#): > > I keep hearing whispers. I _know_ it’s my imagination fucking with me, but I keep hearing them nonetheless. Well, these folks brought along their “EVP Equipment”, and caught a couple of sound bytes that they deem out-of-the-ordinary. You can check them out on the site linked above – feel free to post your interpretations of what you hear. ---

That’s too fun. There is a paranormal group locally that was going to go the Gettysburg and search for their ghosts. When I found the event, it was too late to join, or I might have gone. ---

Alright, I’ll play! In the first audio clip, I hear: “_inaudible_ shot me” – first word could be a name, sounds vaguely like ‘Gallagher’ The second seems to sound like: “I want to come out” I propose we all post what we hear within spoiler tags (before reading anybody else’s, of course), and then compare notes… This is fun! ---

Excellent idea… #1: [spoiler]I can’t give an unbiased on this one – I was told ahead of time what the investigators think is being said here – “Mary’s ok”. The site notes that this building spent many years as Slack’s Funeral Home, but what it doesn’t note is that the owner’s was named Mary. Interestingly enough, a combination of this and **HMHW** ’s interpretation works – it can sound quite a bit like “Mary shot me”.[/spoiler] #2: Either “Wont’cha come out” or “Dont’cha come out”. ---

Cool EVPs. The first one sounds like, ‘Tell me your name’ The second one sounds like, ‘Zombie come out’. I am not a professional, nor do I claim to be. This is quite obvious when it comes to my EVP interpretation skills. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > Either “Wont’cha come out” or “Dont’cha come out”. Gives a whole new meaning to the whole ‘monster in the closet’-thing, huh? 😛 ---

#1 I was part of the group that thought it said “Mary’s OK” until Hal pointed out the “Mary Shot Me” so now that sounds much more like it. #2 You locked yourself out or You let yourself out ---

That is awesome! To me the first one sounds like behind the killing and the second I’m about to come out By the way, I can’t access the creepy photo that was linked to upthread (it says “this page is marked private”). Can anyone provide a different link or tell me what the photo is of? I’m all about maximum creepage.
