EVP Audio Files - Kings Park Psychiatric Center

Note: These EVP files have NOT been tampered with, other than to convert them from video to an audio format. No amplification, noise reduction, etc. EXACTLY AS RECORDED. Due to this, you will probably want to wear headphones.

In the summer of 2012, Chris and I adventured to Kings Park Psychiatric Center in Long Island to take photos, debunk the Mount Misery urban legends, and see how real those cheesy ghost detector phone apps are. (They're crap! And even one of the 'ghosts' was confused by it, or so it seems...)

Note: We have a 'no whispering' rule on our investigations, so we can recognize one another and not be confused with EVP. This is the second most important rule, next to 'safety first'.

Here are the EVPs we found in our footage (and you can watch the investigation video here!):

"Yes." - This EVP is very quiet. I asked, "Is this a morgue?" and the "yes" was instantaneous. If you listen hard, you will notice it was whispered from a distance to my right, which, in my video, was inside the building that I had just been shining a flashlight into, and Chris took a couple photos. It sounds like a young girl or woman to me.



"It's closed most of the time." - This one kind of makes me giggle. As we were walking along a paved path in the dark, I asked a question I already knew the answer to, kind of jokingly, "Is this place closed after dark?" to see if I'd get a response. In the video, I got an immediate clear, whispered, "It's closed most of the time," followed by Chris saying, "Oh, it's a bike trail." If you really listen to it, you can kind of hear a warm, laughing tone in the sound of the whisper, as if it thought I was funny. It is obviously male.



"Why?" - I think this is the same voice as the previous, as it not only sounds similar, but both happened within a minute of each other on the path. This clip is in reference to the ghost detector app we were playing around with. Chris said, "Nothing.." as it wasn't picking up anything. I exhaled a second later, then you can hear a clear, "Why?" It seems as if the 'ghost' was just as curious as we were, and frustrated the app didn't work! I also think this is an especially cool clip because you can hear the "Why?" clearly over my sigh.

EVP Audio Files - Jackson Sanatorium

In the next few posts, I'll be revisiting the evidence from past investigations, and presenting it in multiple formats. I am now on Sound Cloud, and that's where I will be hosting my EVP files.

**These EVPs have not been tampered with, other than to convert the video files to just an audio format. No amplification, noise reduction, etc, EXACTLY AS RECORDED.

It's strange how, if you listen to EVPs in relation to the voices around the recording device (in this case, my camera), they do not seem to be coming from any specific direction. It comes from all directions.

You can refer back to my investigation video to get a better idea of what is happening during the recording of these EVPs.

"It's so amazing." - I recorded this within the first minute of turning my camera on. Apparently this 'ghost' was drawn to me from the start, and I must have subconsciously picked up what this voice was saying because, even though I didn't hear it at the time, I reacted. In this case, I repeated what the voice said without knowing it was happening, and with others, had gut feelings that determined what I did next.
 

"It's open." - This was recorded right after I called down the stairs to Chris, telling him it's safe to come up. I immediately felt drawn in, and welcome to explore the rest of the building.



"Come on." - This one happened the exact moment I paused and realized the ceiling was severely caving in. I decided not to go that way. It seems I knew something was there, as if I was getting a tour of the building, but I may have misread my gut feeling due to the danger factor.



"There we go." - This one was recorded as I was fumbling in the dark basement, looking for my flashlight, and seemingly the very second I grabbed it. After that, I zipped up my backpack and said, "There we go." Kind of strange, huh? More evidence that supports the idea that perhaps I really was receiving a tour from a 'ghost'...



Overall, it was an amazing experience, and it still gives me chills to this day. Perhaps the most compelling evidence I've captured thus far, and I consider myself lucky to have a personal interaction with a 'ghost' that is so... personal. I felt very welcome the entire time I was there, and the EVPs I captured support that idea. I can only hope that one day I will have another interaction like this.
