Analysis Started: 2/5/2009 11:34am
Analysis Completed: 2/10/2009 3:54pm
Here is the last of my 2008 clips that I had stored on my digital recorder. I'm finally getting them off the darned thing and onto the blog. I analyzed this recording last year! Time just slips by too easily.
Clip #1, 12:24 am, 0'15''
Noise Reduction: 10db
0:05: A small tap or click
0:09: A rapid series of clicks. I have no idea what could have caused this.
Clip #2, 6:04 am, 0'15''
Noise Reduction: 10db
0:05: A huge, violent bang. You can actually hear something bounce right after from the impact. I am amazed we did not wake up from this. You can hear us slightly stir after the noise.

EVPs and bumps-in-the-night from December 29, 2008
I'm finally getting back to posting the stored clips of sounds that I've recorded the past few years.
Here are three more from the end of Dec '08.
Clip #1, 1:17 am, 0'14''
0:05: A quick series of taps that appear to travel from one area of the house to another. This is a very strange set of sounds.
Clip #2, 1:25 am, 0'10''
0:05: This sounds like an object moving quickly across a smooth surface, ending in the object smacking against another object. Whatever it is moved quick, like it was thrown across the surface with a lot of force.
Clip #3, 3:53 am, 0'11''
0:05: A bang so loud that it echoes in the hollow of the walls.

Clip #1, 2:10 am, 0'17'' Noise filter applied.
I don't know how to quite explain this one. It appears to sound like some sort of bird. It's too loud to be outside. It's definitely in the house. This is also not the first time I've caught this sound.

Finally!! Night Recording Results from May 13th, 2008

Analysis Completed: 10/9/2008 3:48 pm
Results:
I tried my hand at using some Audacity tools, namely Noise Removal. I did this because the first sound I caught was a whisper that you can barely hear over the background noise. This whisper is pretty dramatic, and the first clear voice I have caught since the first night I ever recorded.
So here is the original recording:
Clip #1, 2:23 am, 0m 10s No filter.
A whisper, "It's quiet inside."
Clip #2, 2:23 am, 0m 10s Noise filter applied.
A whisper, "It's quiet inside."
Clip #3, 2:41 am, 1m 36s Noise filter applied
Knocks, then a series of bumps that sound a lot like footsteps.

Thuds, footsteps, Bite'n me arse! Toes have been nibbled on...
I work from home all day in the basement of the house. Yesterday I had the house to myself as the kids started school, and Holly had to go to the airport.
Several times during the day, I heard footsteps walking around upstairs on the main floor. Also, a very loud thud occurred from somewhere on the third floor. I ignored them for the most part and just continued my work. Sometimes I hear a box behind me slide a bit across the floor, and that really gets my hackles up. But I just pretend I don't hear it. The last thing I want is for whatever or whomever to realize that "Hey, if I do this, I'll get his attention. So let me do more of this!"
Also, I have some old computer equipment laying on the floor next to me. During the day, little ticks and knocks come from the pile, like a mouse is in them.
Also, last night something was stinging my ass, all night! Well, it was more of a pinching sensation. Either way, this happened at least five times over the course of the night. Each time, I would put my hand on the area, and feel around for an insect, and come up with nothing.
Around 3:30 I got sick of trying to sleep through it, and just lay there listening to the various knocks, bangs, and thuds, until the alarm went off.
This morning I asked Holly to check my bum for bite marks. If there was indeed an insect biting me, I would have thought there would be welts of some sort. But there was nothing. No bite marks. No welts.
Holly forgot to mention to me that a few months ago she was woken up to the sensation of someone biting her toe. I told her it could have been a dream. Her reply was that she could still feel the pressure after she woke up, and it didn't stop until she moved her foot.
I haven't forgotten the recordings still to review and post here. I've just taken a break from them for the summer. I can feel the urge to start back up, so more material will be posted here soon.
I learned last week that EVPs are technically not the term I should be using for my recordings. EVPs are voice signatures on a recording that were not previously heard with the naked ear at the time of the recording. The bangs and footsteps that I've been recording therefore, can't be classified as EVPs, and I'm not awake during the night to verify if a voice I have captured was heard by a human. So I'll just call them "Night Recordings" from here on out.

Results of EVP recording from May 10, 2008
Recording Date: May 10, 2008.
Anaylsis Started: 6/10/2008 11:37AM
Analysis Completed: 6/12/2008 9:12AM
Results:
Clip #1, 1:39 am, 0m 10s
I only saved one of these little knocks but there have been at least 5 more previous to it, starting 10 minutes after I went to bed.
Clip #2, 1:51 am, 0m 15s
About ten minutes later, two little taps in succession. Something is definitely in my room and moving stuff around.
Clip #3, 2:00 am, 0m 12s
This clip really demonstrates that I have poltergeist activitly. You can hear someting sliding across a surface, and then slamming into a wall, or a door - hard to tell. When I heard this raw from the recorder, it really sounded to me like this was the door to the washer/dryer room being slammed shut! I heard this a few days ago and reported in here in this blog.
Clip #4, 4:31 am, 0m 11s
This is a strange noise, like maybe the duct work in the walls is being given a little shove.
Clip #5, 4:47 am, 0m 12s
A very loud and obnoxious bang. This seems obviously like something was lifted from a nearby surface in the room, and slammed or dropped back down.

EVP Recordings, May 5, 2008
Here is another set of recordings from last night.
Clip #1, 3:25 am, 0m 21s
Something being banged around. I want to say it's perhaps my electric razor hanging in the shower stall, but it really could be anything. Whatever it is, you can hear it bounce a couple of times against a surface.
Clip #2, 4:20 am, 3m 29s
This clip is very strange. I keep the recorder close to me when I sleep. So in the background you can hear me breathing in my sleep. But layered on top of that, someone or something is very close to me, lightly whistling in time to my breathing.
If you don't listen carefully, you could make the observation that the whistling sound is coming from me as part of the noises I'm making while I sleep. But if you listen very closely, you will notice that the whistling is off from my breathing pattern, making it obvious that I'm not the whistling.

EVP Recordings, April 30, 2008: Seven recordings!
There were seven events captured last night on the recorder.
Clip #1, 12:08 am, 0m 12s
I can't really explain what this is. It seems like it's some sort of dialog. There's a sound like someone making a wordless query, and then it's immediately followed by a growl of some sort.
Clip #2, 12:42 am, 0m 11s
Some sort of loud knock.
Clip #3, 12:50 am, 0m 11s
Another loud knock 8 minutes later. It almost seems like something is trying to wake us up when these types of noises occur.
Clip #4, 1:50 am, 0m 11s
Exactly one hour later, the recording picks up a strange electronic noise. There is nothing on in my bedroom that would make this type of noise. This almost sounds like an old 80s hand-held game...
Clip #5, 2:46 am, 0m 31s
This is a longer clip that contains something running (and possibly jumping) around the house. It only really becomes audible around 10s into the clip. It sounds almost like a child running around and playing somewhere in the house, again on a hard surface. I'm wondering if this is happening downstairs on the wooden floor, and the recording is picking it up.
Clip #6, 3:30 am, 0m 51s
Around forty-five minutes later the footsteps return. The clip lasts for almost a minute and you can hear the footsteps almost the entire time. Again, these footsteps are quick, like a child walking briskly.
Clip #7, 4:23 am, 0m 12s
Another small knock to end a busy night. This one is interesting in that right before the knock, you can hear almost the sound of something being dragged over a smooth surface, like a wood counter top or a dresser top.

EVP Recordings, April 28, 2008
Three clips were recorded last night.
My first impression is that this sounds like a hand or foot being dragged across the fiberglass surface of a bathtub, or across a glass surface like my shower stall. There are two bathrooms on the second level, and since the microphone is not directional, it could have come from either one.
This noise is loud and distorted like the source occurred on the shelf where I was keeping the recorder. The only thing I can think of is that an object got moved on the shelf, or something hit the shelf.
This is another interesting impact sound. You can hear the impact, and then you can hear whatever was hit bounce once or twice after the impact.
Friday, April 25, 2008
EVP Recordings, April 24, 2008
The best I can do to describe this is noise is a flexible metal conduit being dragged across a piece of wood...like the 2x4 studs in the wall. Very strange noise. After some padding, the noise starts at 0:10 seconds.
Footsteps, walking slowly somewhere in the house. It's Friday, and this recording was taken around 5am, so this should have been right around the time my alarm went off. Also, the footprints sound like they are close like on the top floor where we are sleeping, but there is no hard floors on this level. Very strange indeed.
Also, at 0:46, there are 5 chimes that do not sound familiar. Usually, when its windy outside you can hear the wind chimes outside banging against each other. These 5 chimes do not sound like anything I own.

EVP Recordings, April 23, 2008
We went to bed pretty early last night (11pm is early for us). Right after we fell asleep the recorder caught something.
There are two clips, and they are over 3 minutes each. In each, it sounds like a toy being played with. Ever slip a playing card into your bicycle wheel spokes and ride up and down the street? The sound is something similar. In the clips, something is being turned at variable speeds, creating a fast clicking sound. But the speed is variable, making this two very interesting recordings.
Holly and I have been talking and agree that one of the ghosts is a child. This type of evidence adds weight to that theory.
Clip #1, 11:37 PM, 3m 31s
The first clip.
Clip #2, 11:43 PM, 3m 31s
A few minutes later it starts back up and runs for 3 more minutes...

EVP Recordings, April 22, 2008: Obnoxious knocks
The theme of last nights EVP work is Obnoxious Knocks. "They" were in an annoying mood or something. While I sleep something knocks on the walls. And I record it for your entertainment!
Clip #1, 12:09 AM, 51s
This clip is amazing. It features rapid knocking on the walls, with footsteps afterwards. There's even some sort of grunt, but that could be me, so I have to discount it as evidence.
0:10: Obnoxious raps on the walls or ceiling. Who knows really where this thing is knocking? And why didn't Bobby go crazy over the knocking? Anytime someone knocks on the door our Jack Russel Terrier goes absolutely bonkers. Did he not hear this? Could this noise have come from upstairs so he assumed it was just us? Sometimes I wish there was direction indicators on my digital recorder...
0:22: Some sort of grunt. About a second prior, you can hear me snoring, so its possible that the grunt could be me. However, it could also not be me...
0:27: From here to the end of the clip, you can hear footsteps walking on some sort of hard surface. Funny thing, there is no hard surfaces on the upper level. The bottom level has wood floors, and the only other thing I can think of that would make noise like that is the basement steps.
Clip #2, 2:16 AM, 26s
This clip disproves that I am a light sleeper. How I slept through this noise I will never know. Or maybe I did wake up and went back to sleep pretty quick.
0:04: A small rap, or knock, or tap on something. Not sure what it is really.
0:17: BAM! An aggressive and harder rap, knock or tap.

EVP Recordings, April 20, 2008: Weird Mechanical Noises
More recordings for your listening pleasure. This must be the night of weird mechanical noises.
Clip #1, 1:39 AM, 15s
This is a very strange clip. It's some sort of mechanical noise that I have never heard before in this house. Not sure if it qualifies as paranormal, but I have no clue what it is. One thing I have learned from doing this EVP work is that there is some strange shit that you hear at night in your house.
0:06: The noise starts and lasts for only a second or two.
Clip #2, 3:04 AM, 56s
An even stranger clip. Is it a some weird alien bird? Again, it seems mechanical, but I have never, ever heard this type of noise in the house.
0:05: The first of two instances of the weird noises.
0:46: The second part of the weird noises
Please leave comments if you can offer insight as to what the noises are in these two clips.

EVP Recordings, April 19, 2008
So, what happened the first night? I captured two EVPs of interest. Both clips were within minutes of Holly and I going to bed.
Clip #1, 10:52 pm, 14s
Clip #2, 10:54 45s
This sound was easily recognizable because I hear it a lot. It is of my shower stall, which is a small square area completely enclosed in glass located next to a larger tub. My theory is that something is placing weight on the floor of the stall, then taking that weight off. There are two parts to the clip:
0:04: You can hear the weight being applied to the shower stall floor.
0:08: The weight is lifted off, causing the second noise.
Think of the noise a coke can makes as you squeeze it, then unsqueeze it. The shower stall does make this noise when Holly or myself are standing in it.
What's really interesting is at 0:02 you can hear the same voice from clip 02!. I did not hear this until I transferred the recording to the computer, so this was a surprise to me. You can barely hear it but make sure you check that out because I make note of it below.
This is a capture a small female child or a young woman. I think the voice originated from within my room, or just outside my room in the landing.
I verified with all my daughters that this voice was not theirs, even though I could immediately tell it was not any of them (you know your own daughter's voices).
0:08: The voice starts.
0:15: I think this is my daughters talking to each other in the next room, but it could also be the voice distorted, or facing a direction that the microphone could not pick up clearly.
0:22: The voice is clear again with a sound that to me is like a wordless disapproval. Note that this disapproval is the same sound at clip 01 at 0:02.
This EVP really freaks me out. It's a voice that is saying something in a language I can't understand. If anyone knows, or knows what she is saying, please leave a comment.
The rest of the night was quiet.
