The Evolution EVP Studies
EVP Research Reinvented
For those that don't know (and to not jepordize copyright of certain TV Shows lol) E.V.P. stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena , the phenomena as a whole and the label EVP's is not correct terminlogy.
There are to many instances in our case studies where truly explanable events and sounds picked up on various different recording devices, be it digital, analog, or laptop are being misinterpreted as paranormal in nature.
Forgetting a fellow teammates camera sound as it takes a picture while you are attempting an EVP session to being in a quiet location and a dog in the neighborhood barks but you don't notice as the dog has been doing so off and on all night. Only to come back and later review your collected hours and hours of audio recordings to hear "OMG" what was that.
TRUE EVP IS RARE, for that matter Paranormal In General is RARE.
It does not matter if you go to the most haunted location in the world. Just because you are present does not mean you will have a paranormal event take place. Much less going to a location and come back with 85 EVP from a 6 hr investigation.
We not only conduct serious scientific research, looking at 81 parameters not used by mainstream research teams (the not as seen on tv approach) we openly and objectively go over every piece of evidence with a fine tooth comb.
If there is any doubt whatsoever......... throw it out. Scientific Methodology is essential in this field and wondering around in the dark with a camera, and a recorder looking for a personal experience just isn't enough.
When it comes to EVP research, and the fact we ourselves analize tons of audio for other teams both new to the field and those old timers seeking additional verification we get tons, and tons and tons of audio mistaken for a voice, or a sigh, or something "paranormal".
What is gotten most people so excited is Ambient sounds, not noticed during the EVP Session. "shuffling of feet.......... bumping a flashlight on a shoe as you sit in the floor" I can go on and on.
Understandably you would get excited hearing a potential "voice from beyond" It even plagued us in our early years... before this was so popular on TV. So after many years of case studies, after tests, trials, and tons of experiments we found a solution.
Before I go further let me explain sound.
What is Sound?
Sound is a physical phenomenon originated by varying the degree of particle displacement and propagated by varying pressures and stresses in an elastic medium. Sound waves are detected by the human ear, and the membranes or
the elastic medium of a microphone are caused by variations in air pressure.
All matter is made of molecules i.e. particles. Molecules can be tightly packed together as in a solid or they can be loosely packed together as in a liquid or gas. When energy strikes the molecules of matter, it causes the molecules to vibrate back
and forth, producing a wave that transmits sound energy. The closer the molecules, the more easily sound can be transmitted. Since molecules in a solid do not move very far and bounce back very quickly, a solid is an excellent transmitter of sound. Liquids do not transmit sound very well, but gases are the poorest transmitters of sound.
Sound travels quickly in air at nearly 340 meters per second but can travel through steel at about 5,200 meters per second. Even at such high speeds, sound travels a lot slower than light. Think of the last time you experienced a thunder and lightning storm. You saw the lightning flash before you heard the thunder because light travels over a million times faster than sound in air! The
temperature of the medium can also affect the speed of sound. As the temperature of a medium increases, the speed of sound also increases.
If we are to capture aledged evidence from a supernatural source. From an alternate / or coexistant dimension in time and space. Yet we generally do not hear it with our ears (hearing a sound with ears while seeking paranomal is Sound Phenomena
not EVP). An EVP is detected only during playback of your recorded media.
How can you truly rule out man made sounds, electronic hums, radio interference (yes digital recorders can pick that up). How do you know without a doubt what you have collected a true Class A EVP.
We developed a unique device that completely eliminates Ambient contamination. Our iCap© does this very thing. The iCap© stands for Intelligent Contained Audio Processor. It is a unique circuit design encapsulating the recording medium, and using 3
combined proprietary methods removes from the equation particle displacement to take place. Thus producing a genuine ambient free recording.
Since our initial concept for v1.0 which requires a shielded patch cable to connect your recording device to the iCap© we have since designed and implemented the iCap© Duo which is a simple plug and play device. No other equipment is required meaning your investment costs stay down.
We do not do this for the money, its the research that drives us, so if we can help save you money we are all over it.
We recently developed our newest generation that makes it even simpler to capture true EVP, that device being the iCap© Ultra and the iCap© Ultra/D models. (still in testing phases)
Controlling your environment during a EVP session is essential. Scientific methodology is a must, True Scientific Research requires a failsafe. Using 2 recording devices is a must to eliminate the possibility of recorder malfunctions. One recorder set out and turned on WITHOUT the iCAP installed. A second recorder is then turned on for SYNC purposes a 5 count (5-4-3-2-1) must be performed. Now plug in the iCAP to the second recording device.
The Hypothesis is simple.
99% of Traditional EVP is ambient contamination. Other wordly dimensional beings, ghosts, aliens, spirits, and so on are not using tradional SOUND CONDUCTING METHODS. Otherwise you would hear it with your own ear. Not all locations labeled “Haunted” will yield results. Our hypothesis is only during certain conditions will Paranormal be detected. Going to the same location 16 times might, MIGHT get you one EVP

Thinking outside the box
Meth or Myth, Thinking outside the box, when considering a Haunted Location.
The following information is written in laymens terms, for the simple understanding that is needed.
We do conduct highly scientific case studies, but feel the reporting here, needs to be as simple as possible.. Helping you and
your research to think outside the box.
Testing a suspected haunting for traces of Methamphetamine.
Meth is a very dangerous and addictive drug on the streets today. You turn on the news and Meth is usually one of the topics that evening. Kids and adults are falling prey to this drug and kicking the habit is almost impossible.
Making meth from a variety of house hold chemicals is a biohazard nightmare when busts are made by local law enforcement agencies. The system is setup (or supposed to be) that when a home is raided with a meth lab onsite, that it is made public record.
Real Estate Agencies are supposed to be in the loop and it is supposed to be disclosed information. However in many cases it is not. But if noone is even aware that a home was used as a lab, there are no records to verify.
How does this pertain to a home with potential "Haunting" Status?
Have you gotten reports of a house that at times the "walls bleed" walls oozing a sludge during a paranormal event?
Have you received some really outlandish paranormal reports?
Methamphetamine when manufactured produces some seriously toxic waste that permeates the air and the environment around it. It literally collects on surfaces like door handles, light switches, air vents, ceiling fans, above door jambs.........any place dust collects meth residue collects. Wooden surfaces especially collect these vapors due to the pours of the wood.
Did you know that exposing yourself to these traces from a former (unknown) meth lab location, CAN and DO induce hallucinations fitting the Paranormal Label!!!!!!!! That during certain humidity levels usually later in the evenings, a former meth lab will Oooze from the walls, WALLS WILL BLEED!.
One of our studies when conducting an investigation is to test for meth. As we too could be subjecting ourselves, our staff
to meth unknowingly. So if we ourselves have a "paranormal experience" then later when our tests come in indicating meth was
present......... we have to dismiss ALL Personal Experiences. And on top of that, pretty much have to toss out all collected evidence as a truly Scientific Explanation has been found.
Not to mention, if we find meth present after we have completed our case study, we have to clean our equipment to remove any possible residue that may have come in contact with our gear.
Simple tests are availble online, with labs that will test your samples for you for a small fee.
A homebrew solution for those trying to keep costs down. Iodine is one of the ingredients of Meth. Spraying a homes walls with simple spray starch, or spraying a Q-tip with starch, then swabbing the normal collection spots with the Q-tip is all you need. THIS IS NOT 100% ACCURATE, but if the starched area changes colors to a brown or a red............Iodine is present. And a very good indicator Meth may be present............and further testing is needed.
Just some food for thought.................not all stories, reports, incidents or accounts of paranormal ...............are paranormal. 99% of all activity has a simple and often overlooked explanation. More Scientific Possiblilites are coming stay tuned.
