Tennessee Ghost Hunters EVP Gallery

Our EVP collection is quite extensive but we've put only our best examples on our web site. We use both digital and standard cassette tape recorders for EVP.

There are several methods of capturing EVP. Digital and analog voice recorders are the most common - with the digital delivering a sharper recording with less background noise.

Sara Estep, who founded the AA-EVP in 1982, developed a classification to use for EVP's captured. The AA- EVP uses this format along with other fellow EVP Researchers. Tom and Lisa Butler are the current directors of AA-EVP and has developed a very informative online community.

Use of an external microphone with an analog recorder is highly recommended to avoid pickup of the motor mechanisms inside the recorder. When going to look at microphones, also check the frequency range of the microphone. The manufacture standard for cassette recorders is 20hz. - 20khz. and likewise with the standard cassette tape. However, most microphones these days are in the higher frequency range (50hz. or 100hz. - 100khz.). For Karaoke, these microphones are great but for capturing "EVP" activity, these high frequency microphones operate on too high of a frequency to capture a great majority of the "EVP" activity. The optimum is to use the lowest frequency microphone available, usually the (20hz. - 20khz.) is the lowest you can find and you may have to do some searching for them.

Location Captured: Local Historical Home

Investigator: Cindy

EVP: Changed.
 
  This EVP was recorded in the nursery. Cindy makes a remark that the room she was in had not changed since her last visit. Her nephew agrees and says, "yeah." You will hear a man disagree after that and say it has "changed."

EVP: Okay.
 
  Recorded in the nursery. You will hear Cindy say"Okay" and also a little girl's voice saying the same thing with her. There were no children at the location.

EVP: They're all dead.
 
  This was recorded by Cindy as she was putting some dolls out to perform an experiment.

EVP: I'm a ghost here... let's go there.
 
  Cindy had just returned from a trip to Savannah, GA and was discussing how great Savannah was with all the ghost tours, big old homes, etc. She had her recorder running and got a very loud EVP which sounds like the voice of a young woman or girl. It is so clear is sounds as if someone was standing right there! The spirit was responding to Cindy's discussion about Savannah. This is Cindy's first EVP to speak in two complete sentences and also acknowledge the spirit was a ghost.

Location Captured: Private Residential Investigation

Investigator: Read each EVP description

Background:

The residents of this home, an elderly female and her mother, contacted TGH through one of it's members who was, at the time, an employee for their business. Several months before contacting us, they moved into a new home and had been experiencing progressively increasing unexplained activity. Neither of the resident had had any experience with paranormal activity prior to moving into this house.

Before contacting us, these clients had researched the history of their new home out of curiosity. They discovered the home was build in 1978 and had quite a few owners before they took up residence. The number of owners was odd because it was more than one would expect for a house this age. This raised a red flag on our radar.

The house was a three-story home with the first level being a basement. The basement had been converted into a recreation room. On the second level was the kitchen, the living room, a bathroom and a bedroom. The third level had two more bedrooms and another bathroom. The activity they noticed was concentrated in the kitchen, the second-level bedroom and a bedroom on the third level.

Throughout our visits to this home, we gathered a number of pieces of evidence - the likes of which we had never seen. We determined at least three spirits remained at this location. The haunting would be classified as a classic intelligent haunting because these spirits were aware of their surroundings as demonstrated by their responses on our recordings.

At present, this case has been closed. The residents decided it was in their best interest to move at the end of their lease. Hopefully, the next occupants of the house will be able to live without any further disturbances. Looking at the high turnover rate of people living there, we seriously doubt they will not experience similar occurrences.

It is rare to collect evidence on every visit to a location, but this house proved to be just that rarity. This case has been one of the most intriguing we've come across and would certainly welcome the chance to pick up the investigations here if asked.

First Visit to Location

EVP: Unintelligible (you can let us know what you hear )
 
  The recorder was placed in an empty bedroom with an external microphone. Standing outside the door, two people were having a conversation. One of the residents is asked if she ever felt she would ever be hurt by one of the entities. She replies asking, "As in physical or what?" The EVP follows this statement. Collected by Sharon Ward

Second Visit to Location

EVP: F*** You!
 
  (WARNING! Foul Language) Five TGH members were conduction an EVP session in the bedroom. You will hear a female voice use foul language and ask our investigator his name. Collected by Robert

Background:

Five TGH members stayed the night in Room 311 of the Read House Hotel while on another investigation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. These members had several interesting experiences while staying at the hotel.

After their investigation of a private residence, they returned to the hotel around 10:30 pm. They went straight to their room and attempted to record some EVP's. They also decided to investigate the rest of the hotel. While standing in the hallway within the room, the closet door shut. The sound of the closet closing was captured on the group's camcorder and audio recorders. It was also witnessed by one of the investigators.

After exploring the hotel, the group returned to the room and attempted to record more EVP's. The EVP's below were recorded while the group sat around discussing the history of the hotel. The spirits in the room - which there seemed to be two - wanted to join in on the discussion.

EVP: Traveling
 
  History reports a woman was murdered in room 311. The team was discussing this murder when this EVP was caught. A TGH member asks, "Why were they here?" You hear an unknown female say the word, "Traveling." After the unknown voice, a TGH member says "Traveling" as if they were repeating what the spirit has said. Captured by Cindy

EVP: I can't wait.
 
  This EVP was captured after the closet door closed by itself. Tyrone, a TGH member, is the only person talking. He is announcing to whatever or whoever closed the door, that the group would be returning. After he says, "...and that was you," you will hear a female voice say, "I can't wait." Captured by Cindy

EVP: I'm cold.
 
  The group is deciding if they would like to eat breakfast or lunch since it was getting late. One member asked, "Are we gonna be eating breakfast or lunch?" Tyrone, a different TGH member, says, "I'zz hungry." Immediately following this, you will hear a male voice say, "I'm cold." Captured by Cindy
