What happens when you investigate an area with no known reports of hauntings or paranormal activity? Without any pre-set expectations of any sort, you’re basically going in cold turkey and wondering if you’ll gather any evidence at all. You don’t know what areas to hit or what questions to ask. You’re not being influenced or primed by any reports.
We took this to a test, albeit a small one, by investigating a private residence in Pasadena CA that had no reports of anything paranormal whatsoever to see what we would come up with. We brought in audio recorders, EMF detectors, and a Frank’s Box. After setting up solely in the living room of this residence, we were able to experience three separate instances of unexplained EMF spikes on the KII as it sat on a coffee table. In one of those instances, it seemingly interacted with us after requesting this “entity” to come closer towards the lights of that particular KII. Aside from this, a Mel Meter shut itself off on two different occasions without suffering battery problems. After replacing the batteries to fully rule that out, it shut itself off one more time.
Throughout the course of this investigation, we were also running EVP sessions on two separate recorders in the room. We captured two EVPs on our audio recorders and one on a Frank’s Box:
(These are best heard while wearing headphones)
“Device” (0.06)
“Light” (0.07)
The following EVP was recorded while using a Frank’s Box:
“Marcus” (the name of the person conducting the EVP session) (0.01)
Are these findings paranormal or just an example of audio pareidolia? Was the KII seemingly interacting with us and the Mel Meter shutting itself off something paranormal or just a fluke?
Investigating a non haunted house and getting some faint evidence makes me wonder if the energy of a spirit might be far away causing you such barely audible voices or its getting false evidence that we make into paranormal evidence. The voice box could be picking up anything and all the other evedence wouldn’t pass any paranormal expert so I say 90% nothing and 10% maybe something.
Thanks for the comment, Craig! I’ve always been far too skeptical of the Frank’s Box. More than likely the audio “evidence” can be completely thrown out the window, but the fact that our EMF detectors were either malfunctioning or seemingly responding to requests was interesting. Coincidental, probably.
Very Interesting! I wounder if all locations have the ability to capture EVPs? Get idea, innovative!
Great post! You actually covered a great topic about paranormal research. I will be following your site.
Hello ParanormalEXP. I was just browsing your site and came across this article. I like to analyze the stereo recorders responses using a vocal eliminator filter. The second EVp “light” seems to be positionally at the location of the female who was at the investigation. If I do a subtraction, her voice does not get removed, so it has positional stereo info which tells me it was the investigator accidentally verbalizing what you were saying to the entity. I have had this same thing happen, even I finished a sentence in a whisper and corrupted an EVP! As far as the other things that happened, pretty interesting and seems paranormal.

Hey Robert!
Thank you for the comment. I agree, based on your analysis and reasoning that in fact it could be possible audio contamination from a female in the room. I can not say anything for sure that we capture is paranormal, I can say it is unexplained. Thank you again, and please feel free to comment or offer input on any other post.
