Third Eye Realm

Over the course of time, attempting to obtain EVP has become much easier and at the same time, costlier. There are still the tape recorders running the microcassettes or standard tapes. These work well and can work better with any microphone attached to it. The microphone will eliminate the "motor" sounds obtained caused by the gears rotating and an internal microphone. Although some swear by certain microphones, any one will do. If you can afford the higher end microphones, get one of those. I always find simpler is better.

These days you can also find the digital recorders. There are those people that swear these work better than tape recorders. Although you will get a better sound quality with a digital and have the ability to download it to your computer, the digital recorder can work just as well as a tape recorder. My suggestion would be not to spend any more than you have on a recorder. You don't need to go into debt for a recorder. Any recorder used under the right circumstances will give you results.

So, what are the right circumstances?

The right circumstances...

Would be a house that is reputed to be haunted. It's better to not have to go looking for spirits. To know that they are already there helps a great deal.To have the right equipment would help. Make sure you have enough batteries, tapes for the recorder or a microphone is necessary.If it's a digital recorder, knowing how to use it is a must. Although this sounds like a no-brainer....you would be surprised at the number of people buying these recorders and then not knowing how to use them or not being able to understand the directions.

Another suggestion would be to meditate. Meditation helps to clear the mind while opening up the mind to the elements at the same time. I must confess that I don't think I meditate well but I have been told again and again that as long as I keep trying, I am on the right track. It is important that you continue to try.

Find a spot that you think will work and get comfortable. You can begin by asking simple answer questions. Don't expect long, drawn out explanations. You will be lucky to get simple answers.Just keep asking questions that are respectful, show courtesy and are informative. Don't ask questions that are too difficult to answer. Remember, these are people and may only be able to answer using one word.

These simple rules will enable just about any one to obtain EVP. The point to remember is to keep trying. Eventually you will succeed. The dead do want to talk with you. You need to be patient to receive the message.

Good luck!!
