NEW EVP's Fort Mifflin Casemate 5 The following EVP's were recorded during an investigation at Fort Mifflin in Casemate #5. Please review and let us know what you hear. EVP#1 EVP#2 EVP#3 EVP#4 EVP#5 EVP#6 Cape MAY EVP "Johnny"-Full "Johnny"-Clip This EVP was recorded at Elaine’s Haunted Mansion Restaurant, 513 Lafayette Street, Cape May, NJ 08204 and is an experience excerpted from the upcoming D. P. Roseberry ghost book, Haunted Cape May. (Visit www.roseberrybooks.com for information on Roseberry book projects.) In March of 2007, I was pleased to interview, Ron Long, the owner of Elaine’s, while accompanied by the illustrious psychic, Laurie Hull. At one particular part of the tour, we were ushered into what used to be the establishment’s living room, but since has become a dining area at times and storage space at other times. Today it was storage space; and was filled with all kinds of wild and wonderful haunted props for their dinner theater productions. I took special note of a very real looking character sitting in a very real looking electric chair. “Oh, that’s Johnny,” said Ron, “He gets electrocuted every night.” The three of us laugh and continue with the tour. About fifteen minutes later in the same room, I was talking quietly with Laurie, pointing out to her that some years ago, I’d visited the Haunted Restaurant and had been seated in the far corner. Laurie replied to me, “Oh, over where the electrocuted guy is…” I reply, “Yeah.” Nothing more was said about it and again, we continued on. But later, when I was transcribing my notes of the day, at this point of the tour, a deep male voice in strict monotone spoke up in the background—a voice that was not mine, nor Ron’s, nor Laurie’s. It was a voice that was actually interacting with our conversation. Recap: Laurie: “Oh, over where the electrocuted guy is…” Me: “Yeah.” EVP voice: “Joh-nee.” Having the recording analyzed by Mark Sarro of the Chester County Paranormal Research Society verified that this voice was, indeed, within ghost range! I’d captured a ghost on tape! -D.P. Roseberry A working theory is that EVP's will happen in a lower frequency range. Upon frequency analysis of the EVP we were able to determine that it was in fact in the range of about 250hz. Other EVP's of interest: [House moan] [Gettysburg Whistle] [It' told me to...]
EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena): The recording of spirit voices by electronic means. I.E. Digital recorder, tape recorder or other audio recording device.


EVP's are another method of proving the existence of paranormal phenomena and potentially "intelligent spirits" and in some cases "residual hauntings" as well. The process entails the use of an audio recording device with an external microphone. The device is set up in a room or area that is considered to be a "hot spot" in a particular haunting. There are various steps and protocols taken in the process of recording EVP's.

Quick Tips for Collecting Credible EVP

Trying to capture evidence of paranormal activity?

1. For best results, set up an analog tape or digital voice recorder. Use an external microphone, especially if using an analog tape recorder. The internal microphone inside an analog tape recorder will pick up the sounds of the moving gears and motors inside the tape recorder and will affect the results of the recording. EVP can be extremely hard to hear at first listen, keeping the audio tape clear of any artificial noise is paramount. An external microphone is the key to cutting down some of this noise.

2. Also, keep quiet. Don't try EVP work if the TV is on or a radio or stereo. If there are a lot of people in the home or area of interest, are they going to be heard in the background? Keeping the area clear of any artificial and background noise is the key.

3. Ask questions that would make it easy for something to respond with simple yes or no answers.

Common Questions

What is your name?

What year is it?

(insert other questions)

Avoid asking questions that may confuse or upset a spirit such as "when did you die?" or "how did you die?".

We are currently in the midst of conducting an ongoing EVP experiment. Clips of recorded EVP's will be made available on our myspace page and changed periodically as the investigation continues.
