During the recent Pine Mountain Paracon, the event finished off with an investigation of the historic Bell Theater located in downtown Pineville. This event was open to the general public and we had a good number of people show up and take part in the investigation. Much of the investigation was broadcast live over Facebook.

The video that follows is that live broadcast along with a couple of interviews with some of the folks that took part. The investigation was very successful and the interaction was nothing short of amazing.

Electronic Voice Phenomena or just EVP for short, are sounds recorded on electronic devices that are interpreted as spirit voices. Many psychologists regard EVPs as a form of auditory pareidolia, meaning that the investigator is interpreting random sounds as voices and there really isn't any voice there. But over the years equipment for capturing these voices has gotten better. There are numerous ways to record EVPs. Everything from very low-cost devices to ones that cost a thousand dollars or more.

I think EVPs are great evidence of the spirit world. What makes it amazing is that many times you will get a direct response to a specific question or set of questions. This goes way beyond auditory pareidolia, in my opinion.

With that said here is three very interesting EVPs.

Recently, I and Tony Felosi of Harlan County Paranormal got another chance to investigate the old jail in Harlan County, Kentucky. The old jail is home to numerous murders and suicides, and lord only knows what else. The jail has been a hot spot for a paranormal activity for a while now, but as of late, it seems the activity has been on the increase.

This investigation yielded a host of evidence, as the activity was really high. I just want to make it clear that the building was on total lockdown. No one was in the building other than Tony and me. There were many things that we heard and had to happen. Much of the activity was captured on either video or an audio recorder. There was some evidence, like some footsteps, that we both heard, that has been left out of the video below.

With that said, there were several EVPs and other disembodied voices recorded, along with other unknown source sounds. It was pretty creepy and the EVP at the end of the video seals it.
Here is a short video of the investigation.

Some tools are considered old school and others are not. In this episode, Big Jim gives you his take on some tools and what he likes to use during an investigation.
