Have you done any evp work in your home........i would love to have a listen.

[TheresaHPIR]

I've never done any evp work on my own in here for two reasons...

1. I can't get it quiet enough, lol. With three dogs, a cat, an iguana, and a ten year old child running amok, its just not a controlled setting. Ugh, and right now, our neighbors have whatever the hell Christmas decoration that plays Jingle Bells cranked all the way up and I can hear it through my window!

2. I don't have the time. I've got enough audio from bona fide cases to review, that I just don't have the time, nor the patience to sit through anymore, especially when it doesn't seem necessary, lol. I have my personal proof that there is something here due to all the things I have seen, that have been verified by other independent witnesses.

I have had the house investigated by formal groups, though...the group I'm with now used it for a training exercise last winter, and the group I was in previously did an investigation here. The first group DID get an odd piece of audio in my bedroom that sounds like a man sighing/grunting right up against the microphone. HPIR got a piece of audio in my nephew's bedroom of what sounds like a little girl giggling and a piece of video involving something in the laundry room being moved, then an "orb" coming out, then back into the wall, followed by what sounds like an older man clearing his throat...really quite nasty, lol. I know the tape still exists, and hopefully the guy who has it will get around to making me a copy...but the audio of the little girl has been erased.

I was involved in a private residence case earlier last month that had a lot of physical interaction. Hair being played with, some objects tossed out of cabinets and a broom set on end in the hallway. This had been going on for several years and as it was very close to an extremely active area we investigated it. We did a lot of taping and EVP work. Our questions were specifically directed to that spirit causing the activity. We did several Q& A sessions and were able to get a name and several EVPs that not only mentioned how the house was theirs, they loved it but also mentioned things they didn’t like about the current occupants. We provided this to the occupant , along with a few suggestions in establishing a truce. Since then she has provided a chair in their favorite area and has made it known that she wishes to coexist peacefully there. We are still in contact and hope this will work out.

I would suggest that you might want to do the same. State your intentions, “peaceful coexistence and no harm or disrespect to themâ€Â

[TheresaHPIR]

We DO coexist peacefully...except for the little guy that came and went, lol. And even he didn't really do anything...just his image kinda scared me. As for the other entities here, we have made it quite clear that they are welcome to stay if they like as long as they don't try to hurt or scare anyone. Every once in awhile activity will increase significantly, and we just calmly let them know we know they're there...and it usually dies down.

In the 15 years we've dealt with this, we've never had a problem with any malicious type of activity unless it was a person brought into the home that they didn't like, ie my sister's and my boyfriends, lol. They are extremely protective and are part of the family...even the ones that seem to stay for only a short period of time.

As I've stated above, evp sessions are not really feasible, but they have been conducted in the past...with not much luck. And I have been keeping a journal for the past ten years or so. Lately I only record really strange things, as when you've got little stuff happening everyday, recording is tedious, lol. As for patterns, none really exist that are too concrete. If a strange man is brought into the house, they'll act up. They're more active during the late winter months into early spring. Activity is at its peak between 7am and 11am and again between 2am and 4am. They like my black dogs and cat but hate my yellow lab and iguana.

I've been investigating and researching seriously for the past seven years almost, so going through this has definitely helped me deal with my clients much more effectively. I can empathize, and I too always recommend they keep a journal and just talk to their entities to try to resolve any problems. EVP sessions include, among other things, any questions or concerns the client has pertaining to the entity and haunting. But...most importantly, I know how to spot false positives, lol. I know just how much pressure from another part of the house it takes to jiggle open the latch of a door. I know how to check a phantom flushing toilet for leaks. I know what a pregnant racoon sounds like in the attic...all stuff that I've learned from trying to debunk my own experiences, lol.
