My EVP Journal

WEEK 3-4

We knew he died in 1925 and today we got the date of January 14th.  We also think he said he worked at the Uniroyal plant.  He said he didn't know they had imploded it recently.  He thought it funny when I told him they were building condos there now.

We had one recorded conversation that lasted over 28 minutes long.  Sandy yelled "Henry!" when her kid made noise, then Mr. Giggles said it.  We asked him to tell Henry it was past his bedtime and he told him "go to bed".  He still wouldn't tell us his real name.

He mentioned hearing the baby cry in the background and he described where he was as paradise.  It seems he hasn't actually crossed over, it's like he's in a transitional pseudo heaven by his own desire.  Says he's alone, but happy.  Asked him if he had time and space there, he said "no, not really".  He said he's talked to others and we asked how; he said "they just heard me".

NOTES:  This isn't like listening to a ghost; it's more like talking to someone on speaker phone (sometimes a party line).  Sometimes we can tune in the regulars and other times it seems as if we're intruding or interrupting others.  Also, we'll be talking to one who will fade out and another will pop in and start talking.

Our "yoohoo" got met with "Yoo hoo hoo and a bottle of rum".  When we repeated it, Mr. Giggles said "do you have any?".  I said "I thought you didn't have any lips" and he replied "I can wish".  He even  laughed at my knock knock joke.

When tuning in Sandy said "sorry, we're trying to make it out" and he asked "who are you making out with", lol.  He was fading out and I said "oh poo" then he said "oh shit".  We said something silly and he said "You're crazy, ha ha ha".

We got someone who was pretty grouchy telling us to shut up and another that was a bit strange; something about "I like it here, I can feel it, energy".

NOTES:  Specific spirits seem to be "sticking" to specific locations.  Mr. Giggles has been showing up near Sandy's stomach and the "I like it here" man kept showing up near my chest; was there each time we tried.  Strangely, sometimes we'll turn on the recorder and it sounds like we're in a tunnel which helps hearing them.  Same with the natural white noise, sometimes it'll be loud and other times we can hardly hear it.

Raining all night.  Too much background noise.

Mr. Giggles gave us his address as 425 W 6th St.  In death records I found a Jacob Van Poelvoorde who died 1918.  We were able to hear Hazel much better with the new method, but to verify her last name as Nicholson is difficult as she was only 5 years old.  She did say she use to watch the Smurfs on tv.  She also said she lived in Elkhart (a city near here, hmm).  The "I like it here" guy was back and getting a little too personal!

Still trying to get Mr. Giggles' real name.  Told him it would be proof of life after death and I think he said "I am dead, there's your proof".  Also got a guy who did nothing but repeat everything we said with an occasional smart remark.

Got bored with Mr. Copycat in the basement and didn't want to talk to Mr. "leave me alone" who was in the closet.  It was cloudy and overcast and the voices were faint.  On the 14th, more copycat and another grouch (shut the f up, get out, etc).  On the 15th a bunch of chatter and a help me?

We had assumed they could only hear us while we were recording and speaking to them.  He said he can hear us anytime he wants to.  With the recorder off, I said "if you can hear us, then say hello hello hello as soon as I turn the recorder on".  He did, but how did he know when I turned it on?  I said "how would the higher up powers allow something like that" and I think he said "because of where you are".  I asked "what kind of place is it" he replied "it's just in between".  He said there was no evil there. I asked him why someone would be saying "help me" and he said they're just playing a game.
