EVPs
Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVPs, are recordings found on our electronic recordings which we did not hear at the time the recording was made. Some believe these are the voices of spirits attempting to communicate with us.
FSPI goes through a very stringent series of tests before we will consider an evp for evidence. This includes having each team member present during the investigation listen to the possible evp to see if they can identify it as themselves, then checking with all the team members who were present at the investigation to see is anyone else has the same recording. Lastly, the recording is submitted to a series of technical audio tests.
Generally speaking, there are 3 classes of evps:
| Class | Description |
| A | The recording is clear and mostly everyone agrees as to what that recording is. |
| B | You can hear the recording, but there are varying opinions as to what the recording is |
| C | You can hear something, but can not make it out |
Here are some examples of EVPs:
PHOTOS
We have all seen pictures of ‘orbs’ around the internet. Not everyone agrees as to what qualifies an orb or what an orb is. Nobody really knows. The common theory is that an orb is the by-product of a spirit or ghost trying to manifest. So it could be an indication of a spirit or ghost nearby. FSPI rarely uses orb photos as evidence. Before we will call an orb evidence, we rule out common false orbs, such as dust or humidity in the air. Then we have to see some other evidence that coincides with the time the picture was taken, such as a 10 degree temperature spike or drop, anomalous EMF readings, sensitives picking up on spirit energy, evps. If we don’t have other evidence to corroborate the orb, we will not use it as evidence.
Here are some samples of photographic evidence, orbs and otherwise:
