EVP From Gettysburg

This first EVP was caught at Saches Bridge. Lee was ask a spirit that was said to go by the name Tennessee to talk to us or make himself known to us somehow. This audio clip had a whispered "shut up" which was amplified, and what sounds like "Can't Wait." at the end. "Can't Wait" was more faint and was amplified and had noise removal used to get rid of the background noise. The question previous to these responses was "Alright Tennessee, you only have a couple more minutes to show us that you're real, or we're leavin'." I believe there are two spirits talking to us here. One that doesn't like us talking, and another that 'cant wait' for us to leave.
Also of note, everyone heard something. You heard Garrett in the clip between the two voice say "hm?" Everyone else comes in after the clip saying what was that and such... Finally convincing each other that it was the bats in the rafters (little did they know!)
Listen - Can't Wait, Shut up.

Discoveries Using Noise Removal In Audio

So I discovered an amazing thing that Audacity can do... Its called noise removal, and we got noise. I started using it to clean up a few new audio clips, and then decided to use it on some older EVP's and see what I could do with them. I was shocked to find that the noise removal tool brought out even more voices and sounds than the first time we diligently listen through them! Here are some EVP clips that sound way better or get some new voices in them:

Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up ...Psst!
In this clip, I cleaned it up by removing the bit of leave crunching and ambient noise. After getting rid of that, I actually found what I think could be "psst" after the shut up's. This was capture in the trails at the back of Floyd's area in Beaver Creek.

Step Back
We caught this EVP in the same location as the last. We hear one whisper say step back but after noise removal was used you actually hear 2 voices. Listen close! Its right before the 2nd step back.

What is your name? Choc
We believe this to be Pretty Boy Floyd telling us that his name is 'Choc' (that was his nickname of course). With noise removal a surprising slow breathing sound appears before and into Garrett talking. This was taken at Floyd's Area

Breathing, Bang, then Thud
This was an odd EVP. It starts off with slow to quick breathing then the breathing stops with a loud bang, and now after noise removal you hear a thud happen after the bang as if some on fell to the ground.

Ashley's Answer
Ashley was antagonizing to try and get something to happen. Then she seems to get an answer. I still can't figure out what it says, but it sounds much clearer with noise removal and some filters added. Anyone know what is being said??

Garrett gets laughed at by spirits?
This is what at first I thought to be laughing at Garrett. I think the spirit thought it got away with mocking Garrett, because after he asks, "can you make a noise," you hear "HA!" But we got it!!! The noise removal and various filters made it sound quite a bit better.

Jessica makes herself known to us
This was always a toughy for me to decide, so I put the noise remover to it and wah lah. It sounds much clearer (and a little robotic). The question that was asked was "What is your name?" and the answer sounds like a young girl saying "Jessica"

New EVP's From 2nd Beaver Creek Trip

A couple of these I just didn't have time to get the first post and a couple I found on the second look through the audio. I recommend using Windows Media Player or Audacity and headphones to hear them best.

This first was from flyod's area. Lee and I come back from letting the audio record in silence while we were taking pictures and get what sounds like "me" to a question. The word is only slightly amplified - no other effects were used to 'bring out' the voice.
Listen - Anyone want to talk? Me.

Caught this little clip from the floyd's also. Lee is off in the distance taking pictures while I'm sitting down by myself doing an EVP session. I heard some dogs (probably from someone who lived on the hill across from us) and I ask "Aren't those dogs annoying?" After about 20 seconds we get this on the audio. It sounds like a breathy "yes" to me but I was wrong before. This may not even be an EVP but I felt I'll see if I could get some input from anyone who wants to guess on it.
listen - Yes.

This is a questionable one because its so faint. I amplified it, and you will be able to tell. Maybe it says "Jess... ...ica" or maybe its just nothing. This came from the trail also, which is seeming to be one of the most active EVP areas we have ever been in.
Listen - Jessica

Let us know what you think! Give us a comment!

Beaver Creek Trip #2 - Floyd's Area and Mill

Since the first trip's evidence was so conclusive that the place was haunted, we decided to go again! This time expanding our exploration of the park to the mill that was right off the main road.

We decided to make a walk through on floyds before stopping at the mill. No evidence was found, but we did hear what I would call 'scurrying' in the grass in front of us near the back of the field. It could have been an animal of course though.

The mill. This was the exciting part of the night. We talked to some really nice folks about the mill, and got some nice information about it. After they left, we decided to treck around the mill and check it out. We took some creepy mill pictures and ended up in front again, as just as we were about to take a picture from the front the park gate the was closed behind us shook very loud. Scared the you know what out of us! After the gate shaking, we started feeling cold spots, and that's when we got this nice EVP (the voice at the end only happens once but I had to fancy it up and copy it a few times.)

Beaver Creek - Pretty Boy Floyd's Area

Beaver Creek is arguably the most haunted area in Ohio and is not so arguably the largest haunted area in Ohio, so of course we had to go. The police there were nice enough to let us stay on Pretty Boy Floyd's area during the night (as long as we weren't causing any problems :)).

Going into the visit I definitely had my doubts, and upon arrival I had more because there were so many people at the park taking pictures. thankfully, most of the people started moving out around midnight which gave us plenty of time to go about our investigation.

The night was long, and I'm not going to lie. Nothing once so ever happened. We had one member think he saw or heard something, but then we saw some other people wayyyyyyy at the bottom of the hill. After we left, all of us were saying how sucky beaver creek turned out to be after there were such high expectations of this 1800's ghost town, but we had a lot in store when we would go over the evidence.

Going through the evidence found that the pictures we got showed up nothing not even moisture orbs, but we got an amazing 13 EVP's which include 2 disembodied breathing.

EVP Evidence

Very Very Clear EVP:
Here is a strange female voice before we left. There was one girl, and she doesn't have a voice anything like that. It sounds British possibly. Update: According to Kimberly, "a lot of Irish Immigrants in this area in the 1800's"
listen - female voice

In this one, Ashley who doesn't believe in this stuff decides to antagonize what ever could possible be around us. She gets an answer. The second word or words is muffed because she starts talking again, but you can clearly hear "Don't ..."
listen - Ashley's answer

The most active spot it seemed was on the trail that Garrett and Cris walked down at the end of Floyd's area. Here is that session:

they ask the spirit to knock on whatever logs were by them on the count of three and in stead of on three you hear two loud knocks and a third weaker one. They don't seem to hear it though.
listen - knocking sound

The next one seems to be an audible voice because it seems that Cris at least heard something however faint it seemed to him. It sounds like "shut up! shut up! shut up!" whispered right at the start of it.
listen - shut up shut up shut up

This sounds, oddly, like "drink up." It is followed by Cris and Garrett who actually seem to walk into a spider web. Its not clear whether sound you hear before they talk is them but the voice is not. Enjoy:
listen - drink up

During the session there were two instances where they got very heavy breathing noises which don't occur ever again, even when they are moving. There is a chance it was them, but this one in has them not moving and just talking and trying to get a response.
listen - heavy breathing

Before they leave they ask if anyone wants to speak with them and you hear some kind of sound or whisper. Possibly "I CAN TALK."
listen - I can talk

Garrett asks "what is your name?" and then you hear some sort of answer. To me it sounds like "Chuck" but I could be wrong. There was no sound like this one the entire time we were there. My question is, did Charles 'pretty boy' Floyd go by Chuck? Or is our Chuck a different Chuck? Update: according to a comment by Kimberly, "Mr. Floyd also went by the name of Choctaw or Choc." This is very close to Chuck, and would make sense if that was Floyd talking to us.
listen - chuck
