Quote: "No doubt you're just amplifying noise that occurs due to impurities on the tape surface, and your brain incorrectly associates them with something."
I must say, I actually almost agree with that. Although your statement is not entirely true.
I recently heard of a random generator experiment. Apparently, a blank tape was recorded just as I described in the second story of mine. The tape was totally blank, and the recorder had no microphone. Then, they randomly picked people from the street and asked them to think of a random position on the recorded tape (for example : I think of position 8m 56s). Take note that at this stage
no one had heard the tape recording yet.
After asking 20 people and noting the times they said, the tape was finally listened to. And, very strangely, exactly at the positions the 20 people said, a weird disturbance was detected. It wasn't a voice or anything, but the randomness that usually occurs on a blank tape is slightly altered to a more predictable state.
The result had to do with the quantum theory : Everything is in every possible state, until someone or something observes it. The interesting part of this is that the disturbances were recorded
BEFORE the 20 people observed it.
Getting back to the EVP, I think I
HEARD voices because I
WANTED to hear them. So, based on the above experiment, I wanted to hear them, the tape recorded them, because I observed it. I find that very interesting.

I highlighted the scientific part, because I want to make the point that science and paranormal don't mix. They never mixed, and never will, because they are entirely different universes.
Just out of curiosity, is there any scientific evidence that it doesn't exist?
As to your earlier questions, I am not trying to prove to anyone that ghosts exist. I am just letting you know that
I believe that ghosts exist. I always had an open mind, and I have been pulled more into the ghost side of life than the science side of life in the past.
And you are right, it
IS hard to tell non-believers about stuff like this, so I really don't care what you believe. If you don't believe it, that's fine with me
And, you're not bashing
Also, I find it good that everyone is going by Immanuel Kant's quotation :
Quote: "Never believe something until you have proven yourself that it is true."
