How to run an EVP session

  1. Find a genuinely quiet room. Kill fans, heaters, phones and anything with a compressor that cycles.
  2. Open with the date, time and location spoken aloud. It timestamps the file and it settles your voice.
  3. Ask one question, then wait a full ten seconds. The silence is the recording; the question is just a frame for it.
  4. Announce every noise you make. A chair creak you forget about is tomorrow's class-A voice.
  5. Keep it to two to five minutes. Long sessions are reviewed badly, and bad review is where false positives live.
  6. Review cold before you review slowed. If you have to be told the phrase to hear it, you did not hear it.

Why we tell you it is probably nothing

Human hearing is tuned to find speech in noise, and it will find it whether or not speech is there — the effect is strong enough that expectation alone can produce a clear phrase from static. Knowing this does not spoil the session. It sharpens it. The captures worth keeping are the ones that survive a listener who was never told what to expect.

Questions from the threshold

Is the EVP recorder free?

Yes. Recording, playback, the slowed and reversed passes and the download are all free, with no account required.

Does my audio get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser. The recording never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server. Close the tab and it is gone.

What is EVP?

Electronic Voice Phenomena — the practice of recording ambient audio in a quiet space and reviewing it afterwards for voices that were not heard at the time. Researchers class captures A through C by clarity, where class A is plainly intelligible without being told what to listen for.

How do I record a good EVP session?

Find a genuinely quiet room and turn off fans, phones and anything with a compressor. State the date, time and location out loud. Ask one question, then leave a full ten seconds of silence before the next. Note out loud any sound you make yourself — a chair creak you forget about becomes a voice on review. Sessions of two to five minutes are easier to review honestly than long ones.

Are the voices people hear real?

Almost always no. The dominant explanation is apophenia — the brain is extraordinarily good at finding speech in noise, especially when it has been told what phrase to expect. That is worth knowing before you review, not after. GHOST · Nexus is fiction for entertainment.
