EVP — Electronic Voice Phenomenon

EVP, electronic voice phenomenon, is speech found on recordings that nobody present heard: answers between an investigator's questions, names under static. The skeptical toolkit is strong — radio bleed, pareidolia shaping noise into syllables, and the simple fact that a whisper is easy to miss in the room. Yet EVP remains ghost hunting's favourite instrument because sometimes the syllables are not vague at all. Accounts here often hinge on one replayed clip: a voice using a pet name only the dead ever used. Headphones recommended; verdicts vary.
