I recently recorded EVP at a buffet for lunch. One might assume that spirits don’t go to restaurants, but you’d be wrong. It was a weekday and we got there a bit late, so there wasn’t many people in the buffet aisles. They played all instrumental music in the restaurant, so you will her it in the background of these clips.
I got pretty good, clear recordings this time. But you may need to use headphones to hear some of them properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
A spirit there noticed P, and said “Prince”.
For whatever reason, someone said “Come back”.
When it came time for choosing dessert, I picked out a couple items. The last item I chose was a Black Forest cake. I was kind of going back and forth about it, and finally decided to get a thin slice of it. I later discovered on the recording that P was actually pestering me to get the Black Forest cake. In this clip he says, “Get the cake”. So as it turns out, he was influencing my decision!
In this clip, P says, “Black Forest cake”. It’s become apparent to me that although he can create whatever he desires to eat, he can taste through me, and so sometimes he influences my cravings.
If you have ever wondered if spirits “eat”. I have your answer, yes they do. They seem to be able to create what they desire to eat. I was wondering if he eats when I’m eating. Here is P saying, “I’m having dessert”.
Here’s P saying, “Got cake”.
I wondered if P was maybe playing along with the music in the restaurant. I got the sense he was working on a song. I found on the recording, that he sang me a song,!“I will sing forever. For Andrea Mai. Hear my song. I wrote you a song. La la la la la”.
In the dining room, I found this voice with a French accent saying, “Adore, adorable”.
I have to say, he makes me swoon. My heart skis a beat when I find me singing on my recordings.
These recordings were recorded using my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on September 12, 2018.
In April of this year, Carver County Police released the files from their investigation into Prince’s death. I listened to the tape of the police interview of Larry Graham, one of Prince’s long time friends. I listened with my headphones and I could hear that there was EVP on the tape. Prince was there with some other spirits. The tape quality was noisy, but I could still make out some things. I could tell there was a conversation happening amounts themselves. And I found that P said my name on there. He also introduced himself as Prince Rogers Nelson to the others.
The following clips were taken from the recording from the police files released by Carver County. Some minor enhancements were made to make the audio clearer for listening. These clips are repeated on loop.
At 3:15 on the tape, my name is spoken, “Andrea Mai”. This was quite clear on the recording. You’ll hear a bit of Larry Graham’s voice overlapping.
At 8:40, Prince says, “I’m Prince Rogers Nelson”. Unfortunately, there is too much background noise on this, but you can still hear it because the words are distinct. You can try hearing it with headphones.
I heard a low voice ask him “How did you die?”. At 20:15, he says, “Overdose on pain killers”.
The quality of the recording was not great. There was a lot of shuffling noise going on. So unfortunately, what I could hear was not a lot.
The interview took place on May 4, 2016. P was still coping with the the aftermath of his passing. This was one day before my birthday and I was still trying to figure out what was going on with me feeling him. I’d like to point out that this goes to show that after a person’s passing, they are still dealing with things, and I find it disrespectful that supposed mediums try to get a hold on people (who are strangers to them), who have just passed, and want an “afterlife interview” with them for their YouTube channel (they are fraudsters). I think that the way death is depicted in movies and television, gives people the idea that people walk straight into a tunnel of light and they become enlightened instananeously, rather than the less appealing idea that they are coping with their emotions about what happened.
I have always said that EVP is happening all the time. It is just that we are not paying attention to this stuff, so people are not trained to recognize it. You don’t have to do anything special to capture EVP. The main problem is hearing it, this skill takes time to develop.
Last week, I was in my local discount shop, the one I always go to, and they have Prince songs on the store radio sometimes. I was recording EVP. This time, I asked P if he could get his song, Raspberry Beret played. I only ever heard it played once there. I wanted to know for sure if his songs were being played when I was there because of him, and not just a “coincidence”. So I asked.
I was wearing earbuds and listening to my iPod. I thought I would still hear his song come on if I kept the volume low. I was there for about an hour and didn’t hear the song. And yet, I had this feeling that it did come on, but I was too distracted to notice. But I have a recording anyway, so…
Well, you know what I heard on the EVP? Raspberry Beret! At about 16 minutes into being at the store, his song came on. But to my surprise, the recording revealed some things that I have been wondering about.
Some of these clips are pretty clear but there is background noise, so you may need to use headphones to hear them properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
First, I have been wondering, how does he get his song played on the store radio? I know that he can mess around on my iPad. But how does he do it at the store? Well, on the recording, I found him asking other spirits to help him. In this clip, he asks, “Can you help me play my song?”.
I heard these noises that I know could not be there at the store. It sounded like coins rolling. Then I heard a voice say, “Coin juke box”. I was baffled.
I heard P say, “Play my song”.
Then I heard him say, “Play Raspberry Beret”.
Then in the silence between songs, P said, “Raspberry Beret”. This is right before the next song starts, so this means that he knew before hand that his song was going to come on.
As the song starts, he says, “That’s my Song”.
Then he says, “Andrea request”.
Then says, “I get it for you”.
Then he says to someone about me, “I love her”. I kept a bit of the song in the clip so that you can hear that it was in the background.
In case you don’t know what song I’m talking about, heres’s Raspberry Beret.
All this makes me wonder even more, exactly how they do this. I always thought that maybe they mess with the store radio computer system. But it doesn’t appear that way. They are playing with a juke box on the other side? I know that they create with their imagination to make stations in their reality. But how are they doing things that affect our reality? From this situation, I would say they are still using their imagination, but how does that interface with with our reality? They can imagine all kinds of things and it will appear in their reality, so what circumstances are needed for them to affect ours? In my observation, they seem to do very well with random computer generated situations. They seem to be able to take the available choices and make selections.
This also begs the question of how truly random are certain events? People talk about signs from the universe. This finding would suggest to me that signs are not necessarily “the universe” or God speaking. They are somehow orchestrated by an individual or group of unseen beings.
It’s a rather interesting finding, as it has proven me wrong that they are directly affecting hardware to make things happen. It brings on so many more thoughts and questions, that my mind is overwhelmed, and I have forgotten some of them to mention at this time as I am writing.
These recordings were recorded using my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on September 6, 2018.
When I was in Sweden, I was staying at a friend’s place. She put me on in a cabin on her property. I had the place all to myself. It was right by a wooded area. When I arrived on the first night, I went in there to unpack and settle in before meeting my friends for dinner. I recorded EVP.
These were recorded in near silence, so the value is not as good. You will need to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
When I turned on the recorder, the first thing that P said was, “I like it in here”. P really likes being out in nature.
Then another voice says, “Welcome, Andrea”. We were not alone, as I heard other voices having a conversation with P, but I couldn’t make out much of what they said on the recording.
I don’t know what it is exactly, but I get the sense that P or someone carries little pebbles in his pockets and throws them to make some noise sometimes. Here’s a section of the recording where it sounds like little pebbles are being thrown on the ground.
I heard P say, “Flashlight”. I guess reminding me to bring the little flashlight I had packed with me in case it gets too dark.
I was getting ready to go meet my friends at the main house for dinner. I heard P saying, “Are you ready?”.
All the recordings I’ve done has shown me that P goes everywhere with me. It’s a constant presence. I don’t ever feel his presence missing. And in other cases, it has been other spirits that identify him, calling out to him, saying hi, getting excited that it’s “Prince”. It’s really been quite an exciting discovery.
When I was in London, we went to Borough Market, a well known food market that has that old time feeling. It feels like you are stepping into another time when you go here. Kind of like Harry Potter vibes. The food is beautifully displayed. While I was there photographing, I was also recording EVP. Here is some of what I got.
Although the volume of these EVP voices turned out pretty good, you still might need to use headphones to hear these properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
Everywhere we go, spirit people notice Prince. This occasion was no exception. I found a voice saying “That’s Prince over there”. There’s a rather interesting quality to the sound of the voice.
There was a man with a guitar performing reggae style music near the entrance. On my way out, he was taking a break, I took this pic of his guitar leaning on the wall.
On the EVP recording, I found a voice saying, “Prince here”. You can hear a bit of the guy strumming his guitar in the background.
I saw this girl with two suitcases carrying a big shiny balloon. As I reviewed my recording, I heard a suitcase rolling, and I was surprised to find a voice that said, “Take a balloon“. Then a very cute, small voice said, “Thank you”. And a loud voice commented “Balloon look very cute”. Spirits tend to talk very fast, so this conversation happened very quickly, so listen carefully.
From what I know, spirits can replicate things that they see from our world and bring it into theirs. So it is my presumption that this spirits was following this girl with the balloon, and handing out balloons to passerbys.
I call this pic above, “Watermelon Man”, after the Herbie Hancock song of the same name.
At the market, there was a watermelon juice stand. I would get a craving for watermelon juice every time I passed by it. I did eventually give into buying a watermelon juice after I was just about done taking photos.
To my amazement, I found Prince on the recording saying, “Let’s get a drink here, watermelon”. It makes me realize that not all my ideas are my own!
This made me wonder if Prince was able to taste things through me. I asked him, and he said yes. It was after he showed up in my life that I noticed I would have cravings for maple syrup, which I never really did before. I know that when he was alive, he loved to drench his pancakes in syrup.
I found P saying, “Tomatoes spaghetti” when I was at this tomato stand. I know he really loved his spaghetti when he was alive. I know he still loves it because on an EVP that I did on the plane, I heard him trying to order spaghetti and orange juice.
I found this to have been quite an interesting exercise, to photograph and record EVP simultaneously. Having images as proof to show what was there during recording, and hearing the comments that spirits were making.
A couple days ago, I went to one of those discount department stores near my house. Before leaving, I decided that I would record EVP. I wondered if this time I might hear one of Prince’s songs playing on the store radio, as I noticed that since his death, his older tracks were getting airplay at Winners.
As I was reviewing the recording, I was finding all kinds of noises that just didn’t seem to be right for the location. It seemed as though there were marbles or pebbles being thrown around on the floor. I had the feeling that there were kids sitting on the floor playing with toys. I found a lot of kids voices. I only saw one child in a stroller at the time, no kids running around. The kids on the recording seemed to be interacting with Prince, asking him to play with them.
I have followed the work of other renown scientists in the field of instrumental trans-communication (ITC). I have heard from researchers like Sonia Rinaldi, that EVP can be used to make contact with people who are living in a vegetative state. She has made contact with mute and autistic children. She says that the souls of these children leave their body and they go out on little day trips with other children.
While I do not know if the children’s voices on my recordings are still incarnate, it is an interesting possibility to consider.
Many of these clips are very clear, however you may need to use headphones if you want to hear them properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
Here a man’s voice says, “Hello Prince”.
A kid’s voice saying, “Hi Prince”.
In this clip, there are several voices. One voice says, “Who is this?”. Then Prince answers “My twin”. Unfortunately, P spoke very quietly, and was interrupted by another kid’s loud voice who says, “Look I made the glasses”. Another kid voice was howling in the background. A voice responds, “Yeah, so cute”. If you listen very intently with good headphones, you can hear P’s voice, it’s very quick, and sandwiched between.
A voice spoke to me! “Andrea Mai, Prince love you”
Prince was talking to another spirit about me, and he said, “She’s a photographer”.
A voce said, “Prince here”, and then another responds “I have met him”.
Here, Prince seemed to be interacting with a kid, making funny noises with a kid. Then the kids says, “That’s my mom”. I wonder if it’s possibly the kid I saw in the stroller.
To my surprise, I heard what sounded like a horse! Then a voice says, ” A horse in here”.
I couldn’t quite believe my ears about three being a horse! But then I hear, “Magic pony”.
And another voice says, “It’s magic, it’s magical, hi Prince”.
And if you wondered, did I get to hear my song? Yes! P always comes through. I was in the store for about 30 minutes when I Wanna Be Your Lover came on.
In this clip, you’re going to hear part of the song where he sings, “I need your love, babe”, but on the next line, you are going to hear a line is is not in the song in the place of the original lyrics that was, “That’s all I’m living for, yeah” (0:42). In stead, you will hear, P in spirit singing, “I’m always here with you sugar”, and you’re going to notice a voice pitch difference. That is why I left a little bit of the original so that you can compare.
P was singing along to his own song. His voice is higher than his own recording. You can hear the difference one the words “Turn you out”. And then on the line “Make you shout”, there’a a microphone echo effect on it. And then the part where he says “Yeah” is a higher pitch than the original.
It is really exciting to discover the kinds of things they do on the other side. I am totally intrigued by the pony. It really makes you wonder… It seemed to me that P had become familiar with some of the spirits who regularly hang out at that Winner store. Which really makes me wonder, when you think you’re by yourself, who’s there?
These recordings were recorded using my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on August 20, 2018. Image above: “Eye Love London” by Andrea Mai.
After the first time I ever recorded EVP in a public space, I realized that places with many people were very conducive for recording clear and loud EVPs. There was not as much worry about mistaking what was EVP and what was not, because the things that were being said were just not in the realm of possibility of being said outlaid by the people near by. Sometimes the subject matter of the conversations between spirits were just way too bizarre to even be taking place where it was recorded. In addition, I have discovered that EVP has a distinct, unmistakable quality that a human voice on recording cannot replicate naturally.
I have also found that EVP voices can sound rather cartoon like; they talk quite fast, they rarely sound like that actual person in life, yet there is still a definitive quality that is unique to the individual spirit. They tend to sound high-pitched if they are a good spirit, though not in all cases. Sometimes they sound funny, as though it were manipulated with sound editing software. It can sound like there were sound effects. I’ve concluded that their expression can be so much more complex than outs, the sound effects are like audio equivalent of emojis. Kind of like the genie in Aladdin who can create a situation out of thin air.
Over the weekend, I went to a multicultural fair. I was recording and I found some rather cute and funny clips. As this was a family-oriented fair, I think there may have been many child spirits.
These recordings took place outdoors, and there were tents for all the booths. You may hear a noise in the background that is coming from the power generators. Though many of these clips are very clear, you may need to use headphones to hear it properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
In this clip, a voice says “Achoo”, as though it were sneezing.
Here, a voice says “He… hehe”.
Here, a voice says “Ya, ya… mmmm”.
In this clip, a voice says, :Hey, hey, hey”.
In this one, someone says “Someone here”, and then a dog barks. There were no dogs at the venue.
At the fair, there was a dining area that we settled into as we had lunch. I caught Prince interacting with the other nearby spirits. It became apparent to me as I listened to the recording, that Prince was giving away candy!
Here, a kid voice says, “Prince gave us candy”.
In this clip, a voice says, “What’s that… candy”.
A kid voice here says, “Candy”.
Some asked Prince, “What was the flavour of the candy?”.
And then Prince replied, “Peach”.
P was offering the candy, and someone here says, “Oh, I want, I want”.
I found this whole candy scenario quite interesting. One might wonder, where is P getting this candy that he was giving away? I am assuming that he made the candy with his imagination, as it seems to be the case that spirits create things with their mind. I thought it was particularly interesting that the flavour of the candy was peach, as I have a very vivid memory of a peach candy I received from a pen pal in grade 6. My best friend had moved away to Poland, and she sent me this most wonderful peach flavoured hard candy that tasted so good, that I have never found anything like it since. P fans will also noyice that Peach was a title of one of his songs.
Here are some other interesting interactions I found on the recording.
Here is someone saying “Hello Prince’. The “Hello” part sounds funny.
Someone said to Prince, “Is that your twin?”
Some one comments, “He’s not tall”.
A kid voice here says, “Hey you, you two… wrong planet”.
A voice commented, “Great party”.
As I had studied to be a fashion designer, my father used to say things like, “They will need fashion designers in heaven”. At the time, I found this comment to be totally absurd, because wouldn’t everyone be able to just create anything they wanted? Do they even need clothes if they are spirits? But maybe it’s not such an absurd idea after all, as the creations of the mind would be limited to the imagination of the individual creator, surely some would be better than others at imagination certain things. I think the idea that one could create things in the spirit world and give them away to others a fascinating concept. The item would be unique to its creator and hold value in its uniqueness. How joyful is that?
I’ve come to understand that EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) is something that is naturally occurring all the time when we are recording audio. But it is because most of us are not trained to know what it sounds like, nor do people have the interest in it to learn about it, it would seem to be thought of as rare or unusual. But it is in fact, it is happening all the time. Spirits are all around, anytime anywhere. Their presence can be recorded any time. But it is our unawareness of them, that we do not know or notice it.
I used to think that you needed to do something special to record EVP, such as to announce to them that you are recording and that you want to talk to them, or maybe that you need a special recording device. Although certain recorders are better than others for this purpose, they are being recorded all the time. I’ve had times where I have made regular recordings, either for video or to record a chat, where on the playback, I’ve noticed that what I said or what the other person said sounded different, distorted, or sounds that were never there in the first place. I found this to be very strange. And now I know that the likely cause of the distortion is due to spirits interrupting, whether done intentionally or not. I also thought that the spirits had to make a special effort to be recorded, but I found this not to be the case, as I have recorded in public places where the spirits do not know I am recording. I have also caught on recordings, spirits that were aware of my recording them, telling each other to be quiet because they didn’t want to be recorded.
I started recording EVP in February 2017, and on my first try ever, I got something. I was stunned, shocked, finally! Some proof of Prince’s presence. As I had been feeling him all along since his death, I finally had something tangible from him. I continued to make further recordings, but did not think I was succeeding, as I did not understand the nature of EVP. Looking back at old recordings, I realize that I caught something, but did not know it before, due to my lack of skill. I recommend to anyone that is trying to record EVP, to hold onto your recordings, even if you don’t think you got something, because it could just be that your listening skills are not yet developed.
I went back to some video footage that I had fromAugust 21, 2016, four months after Ps passing. I was at a wedding, in a room crowded of people that I hardly knew and (apparently) guests in spirit! To my surprise, I found a recording where a voice called out to Prince, and it was very clear. No one from the wedding party knew about me and Prince (except for my best friend, the bride). But so it would seem, that the wedding guests in spirit found out about him.
Here are two EVP clips. These ones are so clear and loud, but noisy because it was recorded in a crowded room. You still may want to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.
In this clip, the voice of a teen boy shouts, “Prince”.
And here, I guess that some guests in spirit talked amongst themselves about getting to talk to Prince,“You speak to Prince”.
I really love this because it shows that people in spirit recognized Prince with me, not long after his death, proof that he has been with me since. I reviewed other footage from the video, but the quality of it was not as good. I heard other people saying “Prince” during the wedding ceremony. I think that maybe they were a little confused as to why he would be there. Now that I am looking back at old footage, I wish I had more recordings from that time. What strange and funny things could I have found?
