Our hotel was walking distance from Niagara Falls, so we walked to Prospect Point, the only spot where you can see both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls at the same time. It was cloudy, windy, and very cold. I recorded EVP as I took photos.

I got some good clips, but you can hear the wind and the water in the background. I tested the clips on my laptop speakers, they are audible, but some are better with headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
As we walked along the river towards the falls, it was very cold, and I wondered if P was cold. I imagined for him, a black sateen bomber-style jacket with black rhinestone crystals encrusted on the back that formed his symbol. Though I’ve heard that one can give gifts to spirits by thought, I never really knew if it works. P said, “Andrea, a new coat“.
He then said, “I got it, thank you”.
It was very windy, P said, “Windy”.
Then he said, “Lost my hat”. Fortunately, after that I heard someone found his hat. It must have blown away.
There seemed to be talk about P’s new coat with with the spirits nearby. Someone asked him what the symbol was, probably referring to the symbol on the coat. He said, “Love sign”.
P said, “Nice and warm”.
Someone said, “Hey Prince”.

As I was taking photos, someone said, “Like this”, and another said, “That’s pretty”.
The sun was starting to come out and there was a small strip of light appearing halfway along the horizon. It was beautiful, but I said that I wished the rest of the clouds would move so that the light could fill up the horizon. As we waite for someone to return from the washroom, I noticed that the clouds had moved and the whole horizon was beaming with light!

I heard them on the EVP, saying, “Move it away”.
It was stunning, I knew someone was helping us with the weather. After we left the park, the entire sky cleared up and it was bright and sunny. I felt really blessed to see such beauty.

A couple weeks ago, we took a short road trip to Niagara Falls, New York. A typical Canadian thing to do is to drive over to the American border and go shopping. We went during a weekday in January. The Canadian dollar has been weak, and it was just after the holidays, so there was literally no traffic getting over the border, nor was there much visitors in the outlet mall we went to. It felt like a ghost town.
It was seriously, very quiet at the outlet mall. It was already long after lunch by the time we got there. The only people around were mostly store employees. I recorded some EVP while we were there. And though it seemed empty in the mall, there were probably far more spirits than mortals hanging around.
These EVP clips turned out pretty well. I tested them on my laptop speakers and they are very audible. But if you want a better listening experience, I recommend headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
We parked near the mall entrance where the chocolate store was. We ended up buying the bulk chocolates from the Christmas clearance sale. In this clip, you can hear me counting coins, “1, 2, 3…”, and in the background, you can hear someone saying, “Hi Prince”, and then P replying, “Hi, hi”.
It turned out that the total on the receipt was $31.21. If you are a Prince music follower, then you know the significance of the number 3121. It was the name of one of his songs. One of the lyric lines were, “drink champagne from a glass with chocolate handles”. Well, I was counting out 31 cents, and the cashier realized I got it mixed up. We kind of laughed at the mistake. It turned out that so were the spirits. Here is a clip where someone said, “Mix up“.
Here is P saying, “I’m joking”. I couldn’t hear the joke, so I don’t know what was said. But you know, P is a funny guy.
P’s dog was with us. Here he is saying, “My doggie”.
Someone said, “That’s Prince there”.
Here is someone saying “Nice bag“. And then P replying, “I dream it”. From what I can tell through all the recordings I’ve heard, they can create things with their thoughts. It is like in the movie What Dreams May Come.
Having recorded so much in my experience, it is recording in empty spaces and hearing these voices, that really makes you aware that; just when you think you’re alone, you’re not.

During the holidays, we like to go to the European grocery stores to get special food items that we don’t usually eat throughout the year. This time, I recorded EVP while I was there.
In general, I think the spirits in my local supermarket have gotten used to seeing Prince, and therefore don’t react as starstruck anymore. I also notice that spirits in suburban and small towns react differently than those in big cities. I feel like in the big cities, they get a bit crazy and start chasing him, or expect him to entertain them.

These chips are pretty clear, but you will hear the refrigerator in the background. I tested it on my laptop speakers, and they are audible. But for a better listening experience, I recommend headphones. For reference, I used Beas headphones. The cops are repeated on loop.
I’ve found that it is very typical that spirits will comment in regards to P, “You are Prince”. I’m not sure if they are talking to themselves, as presumably, they speak using thought (telepathy). Or if they mean to confirm that who they are seeing is Prince. Sometimes I hear P respond with , “That’s me”, or “Yes, I am”.
In this clip, you can hear a male voice say, “Prince rock”. Then a cute voice saying, “They play your record”. The music in this shop comes from the radio. I’m guessing these spirits hanging out here, have heard Prince music on the radio.
In this clip, you can hear a very high pitched voice saying, “Famous”. Then another voice saying “Raspberry Beret”. I heard them saying “Raspberry Beret” several times on the recording, this was the clearest. I guess that is the song they hear on the radio.
A voice said, “Prince here”. Then another said, “Go away from here”.
I think the other spirits wondered why they were told to go away. They responded, “We help him”. I always pray to God to protect P, especially when we go out. In the past, other spirits have attacked him. I’ve heard the voices of angels come to his rescue. I am so grateful for that.
It is truly a blessing to know that my prayers are heard and answered. I think that a lot of the time, people pray for help, and everything turns out ok, but they don’t think that their prayers had anything to do with it. They think, maybe it was just a coincidence, or that they were worrying too much about nothing. Now that I know my prayers are heard, I count every blessing and thank God for all the help I receive. I hope everyone gets to know this, because it is a truly wonderful feeling to know this!

Now that it’s winter, we stay home a lot more and I spend time doing activities like knitting, sewing, or playing on my guitar. One night I watched a video of a leatherworker doing alterations on a handbag for his customer. It got me inspired. I had a bag I wanted to do an alteration on. I was so excited that as soon as I woke up the next morning, I starting taking apart the lining on my Michael Kors “Jet Set” tote bag. I bought this bag years ago when it was really trendy at the time, hoping that it would be a bag I’d use a lot. But instead, it sat in my closet most of the time, because I found the bag too heavy. There is a padded pocket divider in the bag lining meant for carrying laptops. It was taking up too much space in the bag. Otherwise, it was a great bag. I decided to rip out the laptop pocket and sew it back up.
I was curious to hear what was happening on the other side with P while I’m working on stuff like this. I know he is always with me, but what is he up to? I recorded EVP to find out.
Some of these clips are harder to hear because there is the noise from the sewing machine in the background. I tested it on my laptop speakers and I can still hear it, but I recommend headphones for a better listening experience.
I was surprised to hear P say, “Take a picture”. Was he snapping a pic of me working, or something else? It still boggles my mind to know that they have technology over there. But then again, my dreams are filled with technology. I remember dreams where I am using a camera to take photographs. Why would it be different over there?
I could hear that there were others with him. He told them, “We’re sewing”.
He explained to them, “Took the lining out”.
Someone there offered to make P a smoothie. P said he wanted raspberry flavour. They made him one and said, “Raspberry”.
They seem to be able to do all kinds of activities over there, and it seems to come about quickly, which leads me to think that things are done through thought and imagination.

I decided to rip out the original Michael Kors bag charm on the handle and replace it with this Prince Love Symbol charm that I got by mail order from Paisley Park.

After taking out the lining, I can happily say that I am getting much better use out of the bag, as the interior is more spacious without the divider. I can throw everything in quickly and go.

From eavesdropping on many conversations between spirits, from what I can make out, I get the sense that they enjoy giving things to each other. They do it voluntarily. Often offering food items and other small objects. Or in other cases, they like to “play” store, or restaurant. There seems to be an exchange of money, but I think that it may only be symbolic. It is like the “make-belief” games that children tend to play. I think that the movie What Dreams May Come, might be very accurate in the sense, that they can create what they want,;like in the scene of the movie where Robin William’s character creates a cup of coffee from his imagination.
A while ago, I heard this conversation that I recorded on EVP. I was at a housewares store waiting in line. There were only a few customers in the entire store.
These clips are quite good despite the background noise. But if you want a better listening experience, I recommend using headphones, of course. These clips are repeated on loop.
Someone asked P, “Where did you et the headphones?”.

From what I could gather, someone was looking for headphones for a kid, and they saw P with some. P gave it to them, and put it on the kid. They commented, “Ohh, that’s too big”.
The kid answered, “They’re ok”. I hear a slight tone of dissatisfaction in the voice, but “better than nothing” kind of attitude.
Then P said, “I will make them smaller for you”.
The kid said, “That’s perfect”.
They told P, “Thank you so much”.
Hearing these conversations really warms my heart. I often wish I could pull things out of my imagination to give to people what they need. My dad used to joke that people in heaven have jobs. He suggested to me that in heaven, they still needed fashion designers (I studied fashion design in university). Maybe he is right? Seeing as in the afterlife, one still retains the knowledge they acquired in life, they would have the best expertise to imagine things into their reality.

On my previous trips, I have observed through EVP, that spirits do travel by airplane. Spirits are everywhere, and airports are no exception. The spirit world exists as a layer overlaying our reality. There are occurrences where the spirit world bleeds through into ours. That is when we get to see ghostly phenomenon, but this is just a small fraction of what is going on over thee on the other side. Spirits are just like us, they desire to travel and see new places, perhaps places they never got to visit when they were “alive”.
On the way back from Iceland, I recorded EVP while boarding the airplane. I was assigned a sear in the first row, right beside the door.
I got some very clear and loud EVP. I wasn’t expecting to, as usually very noisy places can be a hinderance to getting good recordings. I have tested these clips on my laptop speakers, and they are very audible. But if you want to hear even better, use headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.

While we were lining up at the gates, I guess they saw P, you can hear someone shouting, “It is Prince”. And someone must have asked who was with me. P replied, “Andrea’s mom“. Both are speaking simultaneously in the clip.
Someone said, “Do you like Prince music. Prince right there”.
Because I am sitting in the first row, I could not put on backpack under the seat in front of me, so I had to put it in the overhead bin. P said, “Put away“.
Here is a really cute sounding clip, I heard someone say, “Uhh, can you pass the phone? Thank you”.
Someone said, “Huh, huh, you say hi to Prince“.
Someone said, “Hi, he’s at the door”. We were sitting next to the airplane’s door in first row.
Someone said, “Prince sitting with her”.
Someone asked, “Prince, can I talk with you”. I didn’t catch what he wanted to talk about after that.
Someone asked P, “Where is your home?”.
From what I have observed, we have angels that look after us. They travel with us. On the plane, someone noticed them and said, “Wow, angels”. I assume that by their reaction, that they don’t see the all the time.I pray every night for protection, and I believe that this is the result of it. That is why I tell people that they should pray. We cannot see what is going on in the spirit world, but we can have the protection of God to defend us from evil.
By my observation, the spirit world seems to be a lot more crowded than ours. I could be walking along an empty street all by myself, but there is actually tons of spirits wandering around. I wonder if it is possibly because so many people in our modern age, don’t believe in God, and when they pass over, they remain here instead of going to be with God in heaven. P often talks to these lost souls who have no where to go, and he tells them about God and prayer. They often refuse to pray because they are afraid. But he encourages them to pray, and they do. They come back telling P that he was right about having to pray and find God.
I feel very sad for these “homeless” souls. They seem to sleep anywhere that they can find as shelter, such as empty cars and shopping malls. I pray that people come to know God before leaving this earthly plane. I feel like so man people are missing out on what it’s like to know that there is something so wonderful, and greater than what we know.
May God bless you all out there.

Yesterday, I woke up to a notice in my inbox that the My Name Is Prince photo book was on its way. I checked the tracking and found out that it had already arrived outside my door.
I noticed this book when it was first listed on Amazon. There was no cover photo yet, but I knew it was going to be good, because it was from Randee St. Nicolas. She worked with Prince on the 21 Nights photo book. I could tell, that she must have been his favourite.
Eight before all this Prince stuff happened to me, I was just deciding to focus on my photography. At the time, I wasn’t quite sure of my talent as an artist. But I could sense him, cheering me on to keep going with my work. I later learned that Prince also loved photography, he took a personal DSLR camera on tour with him. And one of my first EVPs of him, was him saying, “Nice camera”, referring to my Canon M3.

I decided to record EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) as I unboxed the book. I’m always just curious to know what the other half is up to on the other side. Generally, recordings done at home in quiet, are harder to hear. I still managed to get some good clips, though they are more quiet than my usual. I tested it on my laptop’s speakers and I can still hear them, but you will hear them better on headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
P said, “That’s me”.
He said the name of the book, “My Name Is Prince”.
“Oooh, so great”.
“Wow, it’s a big book, wow”.
He said, “She is my favourite”. He said this in reference to Randee being his favourite photographer to work with.
He said, “Gonna hang up”. Oh, was he on the phone?
And then right after, he said, “I’ll show the book next time you visit me”.
He said after, “I called my mom”.

I really enjoyed reading the essays from the photographer. As a photographer myself, I can always appreciate the stories behind the photos and the kind of talk relating to photography. I was pleased to find out that this was a kind of book that she and Prince had already talked about doing when they were working on 21 Nights. She wasn’t sure if it was right to do this book without him. I am glad she did, and I know he is excited about it as well.
It’s a big coffee table size book. the spine being 1.5 inches thick, you know it’s a hefty book. It’s a survey of all the work she’s done with him over the 25 year working relationship. So a section of the photos are from the 21 Nights project, with some previously unpublished works. There are lots of never before seen photos.
As a photographer, I love her dramatic style, her use of color, her use of composition is beautiful. Her essays would be inspiring for creative professionals, as she describes the working style of Prince, and the way he thought.
I knew I would love it, knowing her previous book. Somehow I knew without knowing, that she would have some recent photos of him. The last section was photos from her last working session photographing Prince in 2014. For me personally, I hold more more dearly, his recent photographs. Because they tell of a man, of what he became before he left us.
I really appreciated all the stories she shared. Most noteworthy to me, is of her mentions about Duane Nelson, Prince’s half-brother, who worked as his bodyguard during some period. For me, it s personal, that I enjoyed these stories. As I have encountered Prince’s family in the afterlife, I know that Duane comes around to play b-ball with him on occasion, and sometimes still acts like a bodyguard.
Thank you Randee, for putting together such a beautiful book.
