EVPs or electronic voice phenomenon are often put forward by many that there is truly another realm of existence on this world. In fact EVPs are highly controversial. One side maintains that they are the words or phrases from beyond the veil. They feel that EVPs are of paranormal origin. The other side maintains that there are natural explanations for the occurrence. Such explanations as pareidolia, apophenia or simple hoaxes. Pareidolia is interpreting random sounds as voices. Usually in the language of the listener. Apophenia is finding significance in insignificant phenomena. EVPs are commonly generated by increasing the gain on recording equipment. In other words increasing the sensitivity. This increase in white noises gives plenty of sources for the interpretation of this noise as voices. It is said by some that it is easy to find phrases or words in this noise. In other words pareidolia.
The mind has been trained from a baby to recognize patterns. So it makes sense that if you listen to white noise long enough you will make out patterns which sound like voices. Simple interference can also cause some one think they hear disembodied voices. An example of such interference could be the reflected transmissions from the ionized trails of meteors. Recording devices are required by regulation to accept interference.
I have definitely heard EVPs that are very convincing. They seam to be intelligent responses to the questions asked in the sessions. So are EVPs paranormal or is there a natural explanation for them. The choice is yours. As I have said ghost hunting is a matter of belief.
I feel that there is something to the paranormal origins of EVPs. My belief is that the veil is thin in places. and their are those on the other side who wish to influence us.
