EVP in readings

Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are electronically captured sounds that resemble speech, but are not the result of intentional voice recordings. Common sources include static, stray radio transmissions and background noise. Some people claim these sounds are spirit contact.

Over the years, some clients have contacted me after their reading to let me know of EVP on their recording. Sometimes clients have heard a name or words on the recording from a voice that is not mine or theirs and they often recognize the name as a family member.

One client reported that during a particularly sensitive part of the reading she had been thinking that she didn't want her mother to hear that section. When she got home to listen to it, that 10 minute section (and only that section) was gone! Spirit must have helped it along.

Another client told me that she didn't want her sister to hear the recording of her private reading. When they got in the car, her sister grabbed her tape and popped it in. The tape refused to work and my client was relieved! Perhaps this was another case of Spirit helping.

Other clients tell me they have experienced EVP in the following ways:

  • they hear a certain song on the radio and know it is from their spirit loved ones
  • they pick up the phone (usually a landline) and hear a voice say their name over the dialtone
  • the phone rings at the exact time of a person's death and the client finds out hours or days later that is when their loved one passed
  • when they are in the car the radio keeps going to static (white noise facilitates EVP)
Sometimes people receive EVP through a direct request to receive it. I know people who have gone out onto the battlefields of Gettysburg with a recorder and come back with EVP. They turn the recorder on and ask, "Is anyone here who would like to communicate? What is your name? Do you have a message?" They pause in between the questions in order to give the spirits an opportunity to reply. When they play the recording later on they hear a voice or voices (not their own) responding. Interesting to note, they did not hear the spirits at the original time of recording --- it is only on playback that the voices are heard.

It is my strong suggestion that if you want to work with EVP that you do this with right intention and practice. Remember that spirit contact is not for thrills and chills or spook and boo, so say a prayer, ask for the highest and best, and respect the process.

For those of you who want to know more about EVP, the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP) is a nonprofit educational association that is dedicated to the support of people who are interested in or who are studying Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and other forms of Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC). http://www.aaevp.com/ This website offers examples, techniques and concepts concerning these phenomena.

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some...

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ...

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,...
