CHILD
EVP's
More information on the "I WANNA HOLD"
Class A EVP
Sandi Roberts-Mewhinney's class A evp, "I
wanna hold" will be used along with
3 other child evp's she has recorded in
the upcoming "Children
of the Grave" documentary. This
Class A evp was captured at Hollywood Forever
Cemetery on October 2nd, 2006. Sandi was
on a private investigation with two friends.
They were walking through the childrens
section of the cemetery. Sandi noticed and
commented that a toy had fallen off of one
of the graves. She said "Let's move
him right here, it will stay here,"
and placed the toy back on the grave.
The evp captured at this precise
moment is of a little girl spirit. The dialog
listed below is what group concensus feels
is said on the EVP. This is a class A evp
and very little doubt remains to anyone
who has heard it that it is one of the clearest
evp's of a child ever captured. Listen using
the built in player below and decide for
yourself.
Spirit:
"Sandi"
Sandi: "Let's move him right here,
it will stay here.....there we go." Spirit: "I
wanna hold"

information on the "Monkey"

some of the childrens graves at Hollywood
Forever Cemetery. Evp's captured the sound
of children repeating the word "monkey".

information on the "Stop"
and "Warnings" Class A EVP's
Sandi was in the childrens section of the
cemetery when she captured these two evp's.
Both were a lttle disconcerting. It is not
known why the child spirit was yelling these
commands. There were no other children present
in the area where these were recorded.

information on the "You come
play with me"
Class A EVP
Sandi was in the same area of the cemetery
where "i wanna hold' was recorded.
As she continued to set up the fallen toys
on headstones while cleaning and straightening,
this evp was captured. Once again, no children
were present when this evp was recorded.
More
information on the "St. Lukes
child singing and laughing"
Class A EVP
Sandi was on an investigation at St. Lukes
Hospital in Pasadena, CA with team member
Anji and Max Moya. They were split up into
separate team to investigate the haunted
hospital. While searching the hospital floors,
Sandi suddenly saw an apparition of a little
girl running through the halls, singing
and laughing. The little girl would then
run into the wall, bounce backwards and
laugh, then repeat this bizarre cycle. This
evp was captured during this time. Later,
Anji and Max met up with Sandi and told
her they had also witnessed this bizzare
act from this child spirit. All three team
members individually described the little
girl wearing the exact same clothes. This
makes the evp a bit dark when you hear it
after the fact. At the time, this child
spirit terrified all three investigators.
Not all child spirits are happy, some are
evil.
None of our EVP's have been digitally altered
or enhanced with software. We prefer to play
them in their raw form. We believe that they
speak for themselves. Some can be heard easily.
Others are whispers or in the background noise.
The strange thing about EVP's is that everyone
hears them based on their own hearing. as
a result, not everyone will hear the same
thing. Some evp's can be understood when played
backwards. Others make sense only when slowed
in pitch. We prefer to only play those Class
A and B evp's that stand alone. Some that
you will hear on this site involve human interaction,
someone feels something at the moment the
EVP is heard. We use our senses to back up
what our voice recorders document. Listen
yourself and make up your own conclusions.
EVP stands for Electonic Voice
Phenomenon. EVP's are the recorded disembodied
voices of what is believed to be spirits.
These voices are often not heard while recording
is being performed but are heard when the
recording is played back. Think of it as
a spiritual voice caught on a tape recorder,
and is usually not audible at the time of
the recording. EVP's have been recorded
on Cassete tape recorders, Digital voice
recorders, Cell phones memo features, video
cassette recorders. Virtually any media
used to record audio has the potential to
record an EVP. There are even EVP's that
have been captured on answering machines.
Science has not proved why this happens,
but does back up the facts that these disembodied
voices are recorded and heard only when
playing back the recording.

Electronic voice phenomenon is the alleged
communication by spirits through tape recorders
and other electronic devices. The belief
in EVP in the United States seems to have
mushroomed thanks to Sarah Estep, president
of the American
Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena,
which claims to have members in some 40
states and publishes a newsletter. Estep
claims that in the 1970s she started picking
up voices on her husband's Teac reel-to-reel
recorder. She is sure that the voices are
spirits, proving there is life after death.
Interest in EVP apparently began in the1920s.
An interviewer from Scientific American
asked Thomas Edison about the possibility
of contacting the dead. Edison, a man of
no strong religious views, said that nobody
knows whether “our personalities pass on
to another existence or sphere” but it is
possible to construct an apparatus which
will be so delicate that if there are personalities
in another existence or sphere who wish
to get in touch with us in this existence
or sphere, this apparatus will at least
give them a better opportunity to express
themselves than the tilting tables and raps
and ouija boards and mediums and the other
crude methods now purported to be the only
means of communication. (Clark 1997: 235)
There is no evidence, however, that Edison
ever designed or tried to construct such
a device. And he probably did not foresee
spirits communicating with our tape recorders
and television sets.
While it is impossible to prove that all
EVPs are due to natural phenomena, skeptics
maintain that they are probably due to such
things as interference from a nearby CB
operator or cross modulation. Some of the
"voices" are most likely people
creating meaning out of random noise, a
kind of auditory pareidolia or apophenia.
And now that the phenomenon has a number
of devoted followers (thanks in part to
the movie "White Noise"), some
hoaxers have probably entered the fray.
Psychologist Jim Alcock explains why many
people believe in EVP.
Perception is a very complex process,
and when our brains try to find patterns,
they are guided in part by what we expect
to hear. If you are trying to hear your
friend while conversing in a noisy room,
your brain automatically takes snippets
of sound and compares them against possible
corresponding words, and guided by context,
we can often “hear” more clearly than the
sound patterns reaching our ears could account
for. Indeed, it is relatively easy to demonstrate
in a psychology laboratory that people can
readily come to hear “clearly” even very
muffled voices, so long as they have a printed
version in front of them that tells them
what words are being spoken. The brain puts
together the visual cue and the auditory
input, and we actually “hear” what we are
informed is being said, even though without
that information, we could discern nothing.
Going one step further, and we can demonstrate
that people can clearly “hear” voices and
words not just in the context of muddled
voices, but in a pattern of white noise,
a pattern in which there are no voices or
words at all.
Given that we can routinely demonstrate
this effect, it is only parsimonious to
suggest that what people hear with EVP is
also the product of their own brains, and
their expectations, rather than the voices
of the dearly departed. (Alcock 2004)
Despite widespread belief in EVP, scientists
have shown about as much interest in the
phenomenon. We already understand priming
and the power of suggestion. As Alcock says,
the simplest explanation for EVP is that
it is the product of our own wonderfully
complex brain, aided by the strong emotional
desire to make contact with the dead.

Stay tuned for more articles
and information on how science is beginning
to back up the possibilites that EVP's are
voices from beyond. Be sure to listen to
some of the EVP's found on this website
and judge for yourself. We never intended
to capture the majority of these. They captured
us from the first time we played back our
recordings and heard them. These pages will
grow as information from the segments broadcast
will be displayed here as well. Some of
these future topics are below.
