| EVP Evidence | |
EVP stands for "Electronic Voice Phenomena". Basically, EVP's occur when voices or other noises are captured on any type of recording media (i.e. tape or digital recorders, video cameras, etc.) that were not heard at the time of recording. Only upon review are the EVP's audible. How TCPS Captures EVP's During an investigation, our members use a voice recorder and ask a series of questions. These questions are each followed by a period of silence lasting 20-30 seconds. The reason for the gap of silence is because it is thought that spirits need to gain energy in order to be heard. Sometimes when we review an EVP session, we can hear a voice answer the question(s) or hear a noise that was not heard by any investigators at the time of the recording.

“God help us”: Captured while investigating the living room area, this EVP is a loud whisper we found on one of our voice recorders. To us it sounds as though the voice is saying “God help us”. Filtered Version Knocking 1: This was also caught while in the living room. You will hear one of our members say “I want to hear you knock on the wall”. Immediately after this you will hear two distinctive knocks. These knocking sounds were not heard by the investigators at the time they occurred, but were later found while reviewing the voice recorder evidence. “That’s it”: This EVP was captured from a recorder left in the bathroom. The bathroom separates the kids’ room and we had one investigator in each room at the time. The voice sounds as though it is saying “that’s it”. Filtered Version Knocking 2: As you will hear from the clip, these knocking sounds were audible to our investigators at the time they occurred. No explanation could be found for where the sounds came from. Knocking 3: See above description “Not me”: This EVP was also captured from a recorder left in the bathroom. You will hear one of our members ask if any spirits were there with them and directly after the question is asked a voice says “not me”. This voice was audible to our investigators as you will hear by the “huh?” after the voice says “not me”. The voice is neither of the two male investigators at the location and they were the only two males on site. Filtered Version
“Get out”: This EVP was captured while investigating the basement of the Palmer. Interestingly, this voice/whisper was caught soon after a few of the members from the team began to feel uneasy, as though they were being watched. Filtered Version “Come back, come on, come on”: This is by far one of our favorite EVP’s we have ever caught. It was captured from a voice recorder in the front part of the Dining Room. To us it sounds like at least two kids playfully singing “Come back…come on, come on”. The muffled voice heard in between the singing is one of our members talking. Funny thing was, one of our investigators had just walked over to the counter area of the Dining Room and returned to the table just moments before this EVP was heard on the recording. Perhaps the kids wanted her to come back to where they were by the counter? Filtered Version Voice: The EVP listed here was from Room 11. You will hear one of our members ask if any spirits there could use the EMF meter to answer yes or no questions. Right after that, a distortion or voice on the recording is heard. To us it sounds like “out…side” but we were not all in agreement on that. It is definitely a Class B EVP. Filtered Version Bang: This loud bang was caught again while investigating in Room 11 and happened about 2 minutes after the one listed above. This banging sound was not heard by either of the members investigating the room at the time. We have no explanation for where the sound came from. “Hmmm?”: Captured again in Room 11, this EVP occurred while the investigators were talking about an EMF meter sitting in one of the chairs within the room. The “hmmm?” voice sounds definitely female to us and sounds as though she was questioning the investigators’ conversation. Filtered Version Growl: This growling sound was caught while in the Dining Room. Neither investigators present at the time heard this noise. Filtered Version Whisper: The whisper on this recording was captured again in the Dining Room. It is very faint but on the filtered version it sounds as though the whisper is saying “wall” or “walk”. Filtered Version “Palmer”: This EVP was caught while investigating Room 17. As you will hear on the clip, one of our members was telling his other team member that he could feel cold air on the right side of his body. Immediately after this investigator is done talking, you will hear a voice that sounds as though it is saying “Palmer”. We were not 100% unanimous with this as some other members thought it sounded like “bummer”. You decide! Filtered Version
“No body there…..Ten”: This EVP was captured on a voice recorder that was left in Room 11 while the investigators went next door to Room 10. No one was in the room at this time nor do the investigators who were in Room 10 recall hearing any one else come down the hallway. The EVP clip appears to have two different voices on it. The first voice sounds as though it is saying “no body there”, and shortly after another voice sounds like it is saying “ten”. We find the last voice interesting as that is where the members went to, Room 10. Filtered Version “We are not”: This EVP was captured while investigating Room 11. The voice almost sounds like a deep whisper, like that of a man. To us it sounds as though it is saying “we are not”. Filtered Version
“Don’t come back”: This EVP is from the Master Bedroom upstairs on the property. This is the first of several caught in this location. Filtered Version Moan: This is probably one of the most interesting EVP’s we’ve ever captured. Take from this one what you will…. “Come on……help me”: This recording actually has 2 EVPs within it, one is in the beginning and the other is at the end. To us the voices sound child-like. Filtered Version “The end”: This recording was actually done once all of us had gathered back into the dining room after the investigation was complete. You will hear one of our members talking in the beginning and as soon as he stops you’ll hear this totally out of place voice that was not any of our male investigators. To us it sounds as though the EVP says “the end” but we could not ALL agree on it. Filtered Version “Slow down”: Taken while in the basement, this EVP is quite faint, but you can still hear it if you listen well. To us it sounds like “slow down”. Filtered Version “Never”: This one is also from the basement and it is interesting comparing the two EVPs from here. The loud whispers almost sound identical. Filtered Version
“No”: This whisper was captured in one of the rooms in the basement. A team member had just asked why it felt so negative in the room and this whisper was caught a few seconds later. Filtered Version “She’s gone”: The EVP here was caught in a different room of the basement. A member had just asked for whoever was making the EMF meter flash to back away from it so the team would know a spirit was trying to communicate with them. A few seconds later on the recording, this EVP was heard. Filtered Version “How are you…”: This EVP was caught in the Dining room of the Palmer right after the group entered the room and the investigator turned on her recorder. The voice sounds kind of raspy and was definitely not any of the members present at the time. Filtered Version “Shawna”: The EVP on this clip is from the back section of the Dining Room. The voice sounds extremely close to the mic of the recorder. No one on the team noted hearing or seeing people outside of the Palmer at the time the EVP was caught. There is also no one on the team named Shawna as well. Throughout the clip you can hear the investigators talking and interestingly no one responds to hearing the name “Shawna” being called out. “But we can hear you…and we know you want to”: This EVP is very interesting to us. The team present for this had been asking questions and right before this was caught on the recorder, the team had been laughing at something one of the members had said. The EVP seems out of place for any one on team to say at that time and is not any of the females present when it was caught on the DVR. Filtered Version “No”: This EVP is from the Pub. The investigator had set her recorder on the counter at the bar and all three team members dispersed out to various section of the Pub. No one was remotely near the recorder when this whisper was captured. Filtered Version “Water”: The EVP here was caught from a DVR left on a table by bathroom entrance in one of the hotel rooms on the second floor. The team was in bedroom at this time. To us it sounds like a young child saying “Wa-ter” in an almost sing-song type voice. Filtered Version Voices: This EVP was also captured in the same room as the one listed above and from the same recorder. To us it sounds as though part of a conversation was caught between two different people, one of whom sounds like a child. We could not agree on what is being said, but we do find it fascinating as the voices are definitely not that of any investigator present at the time and this team was the only ones on that side of the building on the second floor. Filtered Version
“Seventeen”: This EVP occurred right after a group of us were leaving the conference room and splitting up for the second round. Filtered Version “Bitte”: Captured in Room 17 and believed to be in German. “Bitte” is the German word for “Please”. This EVP has been confirmed by historian who is fluent in German as well. This EVP is very exciting for us as it is our first EVP in a language other than English that we’ve captured. It should also be noted that Sauke Center is notoriously known for being settled as a German Catholic town. Filtered Version “Yessum”: This EVP was caught in the basement. It occurs right after one of the members stated what time it was. The voice almost sounds like it has a Southern accent and it was as though they were agreeing with the time stated moments before. Filtered Version
Sigh1: This particular voice recorder was down the hallway away from the team investigating the second floor. You can still hear the members in the background while they are investigating but it is interesting to note how far away their voices sound compared to the Sighs captured in this EVP and the one below. The sighs sound much closer to the recorder’s mic than what any members’ voice does and no one else was on the floor with them at that time. Sigh2: See above description “Next to the window”: In the beginning of this clip, the voice you hear is from one of our members. Captured again with the same recorder as the Sighs, this voice sounds like that of a woman saying “next to the window”. To some of us it sounds as though there could be two voices on this EVP, but the second voice can not be discerned. Filtered Version “Matt”: During this clip, the first part you will hear one of our investigators asking questions. Around 23 seconds into the recording you will hear a male voice say “Matt”, as well as the investigators’ response to actually hearing the word “Matt” being spoken. Every member present in the attic where this EVP was caught heard this voice, but the voice does not match that of the only male investigator of the group. Very interesting to note as well that the EVP/audible answer does correlate to one of the last questions asked. Filtered Version
11-03-2007: Dodge Co. Historical Society & Museum Humming: This EVP was captured while in the basement of the Dodge County Historical Society site. Two members were present at the time and did not recall hearing any sounds of a person humming. The voice you hear while the humming is going on is a member upstairs talking to the local historian. Around the time of the humming, it should be noted that the team was getting responses to questions on their K-II meter. To us, the humming sounds almost like a child. Filtered Version
11-02-2007: Mantorville Restoration House Bang 1: This EVP was from the basement of the Restoration House where the jail used to be located. The old jail cells are still down there. On this clip, you will hear the team talking and in the middle of the clip is a loud banging sound, as though the cell door slammed. No one on the clip reacts to the noise and when asked later about it, the team stated they never heard this sound while investigating. Bang 2: See above description “Over here…”: On this sound clip, you will hear a whisper in-between the sounds of a clipboard on the wooden floor. The whisper sounds like “over here” or “over here now”. Interestingly enough, the team had just asked if any of the spirits present in the room with them wanted the investigators to move to a different part of the upstairs. This EVP was from one of the upstairs bedrooms of the Restoration House. Filtered Version “Uhh”: This recording was captured while a team was investigating the “camera room” of the upstairs. This room was filled with a lot of old photographs of Mantorville and previous residents of the town, as well as an antique camera. You will hear one member ask if the camera in the room used to belong to any spirits at the location and shortly after the question, you can hear a faint “uhhh”. Filtered Version
11-02-2007: Mantorville Opera House “Are those lights for me? “: Captured while a team was on the stage of the Opera House, this EVP occurred just before the team left to go backstage. To some of us the voice sounds like it is saying “are those lights for me?” What lights it is referring to remains unknown. Filtered Version “Peek-a-boo”: This EVP was caught just as a team came down the stairs to the basement of the Opera House. This was actually an audible sound to one of the investigators present at the time, as right after the EVP was caught on the voice recorder, the member stated she heard a voice coming from behind the stairs. She was unable to make out what the voice said at the time she heard it, though. Filtered Version
"Go away": This EVP was captured in one of the bedrooms upstairs in the area where the owner reported hearing sounds of someone being trapped in a closet. Filtered Version "Help us": Captured while investigating the basement, this EVP also occurred while our investigators were asking any spirits present to turn off the light on the video camera. This phenomena happened three times. Filtered Version Voice 1: On this recording, one of the teams was in the barn investigating and they were talking about how unsafe a few sections of the barn appeared. After the female member says "This is safer than the middle section", the male member of the team began to talk. It almost sounds as though he was counting something, and it seems as if another voice began talking around the same time. The two different voices makes it hard to understand what the EVP says, but we do feel there is some odd distortion on the recording. Filtered Version Voice 2: This EVP was caught as a team was walking up to the house from the barn. We again are not for sure what is actually being said, but it almost sounds like the name, "Mrs. Bulge". Filtered Version
"I'm...coming": This EVP was caught about 30 seconds later in the same place as the one listed above, during the same conditions. Filtered Version "I'm surprised": The EVP listed here was somewhat hard for us to understand what was being said. It was captured while Kelley, the owner of the Palmer House, was telling the other members of her team about the warmth feeling she had gotten a minute earlier during the investigation. Filtered Version "Come": This EVP was captured in the same room as the above three, but by a different team. In the beginning of the clip, you will hear one of the investigators state "..doesn't mean we can't walk around", as she was telling any spirits present they were going to move to a different area of the second floor. Filtered Version "Bill": While investigating the Dining Room on the main floor, one of our teams captured this EVP after asking any spirits present to tell them their name (as you will hear our investigator ask during the clip). Filtered Version "I'm warm": Caught in the Dining Room, a member of this team had just stated she had goose bumps and had felt a cold spot when this EVP was captured on her DVR. Filtered Version "No": Captured by the same team as the previous two listed EVP's, an investigator had just asked a spirit if they could move something in the room. According to this EVP, the spirit did not want to! Filtered Version Voice: This EVP was caught while investigating the basement. The team had just stated that they were about to leave so if any spirits were there, they needed to say something now before the group went upstairs. A few seconds later our investigators heard a noise behind them. This EVP was recorded about five seconds after the unexplainable noise was heard. Filtered Version Whisper: This EVP was captured by another one of our teams in the basement. It occurred, as you will hear, as the investigators were going up the stairs to the main floor. The whisper of the EVP is slightly hard to hear due to the footsteps on wooden steps. Because of this we are uncertain as to what is being said. Filtered Version
"Damian's interesting": This EVP was captured while two of our members were investigating the basement. Their recorders were placed in the pantry area at this time. On this clip, in the beginning, you will hear one of the investigators while she was talking to a cat who was in the room. In between her talking to the cat and the other member stating "OK guys, ten minutes is up", you will hear a whisper. We believe the whisper is that of a young girl and it sounds as though she says "Damian's interesting". One of our investigators present in the house was named Damian and at no time did either of the two members in the basement say his name. Filtered Version "...interesting": This was caught at the same time as the previous listed EVP during the same conditions. However, the recorder that captured this was on the opposite side of the room. Oddly enough the recorder did not catch the one member talking to the cat, and on this EVP we can only make out "..interesting" from the whisper. Filtered Version
"I think we're to be silent": This recording was done in the Children's Room upstairs. The EVP occurred after one of the Co-founders radioed the group telling them it was time for 10 minutes of silence. On this clip, you will hear the Co-founder stating which team members were in the attic, and the EVP follows closely thereafter. Those in the group which recorded this EVP do not remember saying or hearing this at all. Filtered Version "I was bored": Captured again in the Children's Room after one of the investigators was touched. You will hear this member at the beginning of the clip ask "Was that you who touched my ankle?". A few seconds later a response can be heard to the question. It also sounds as though this same voice was talking at the same time as the investigator, but we were not able to seperate the voices enough to tell what was being said. Filtered Version "No": This EVP was caught while one team was in the Attic. You will hear one of the members ask if any spirits present wanted to sit on the bed. The answer came seconds later on the recording. It should be noted that this EVP was also captured while the group's EMF meter was lighting up "on command". Filtered Version
Voice 1: During our preliminary interview with the owner of the Palmer House, this EVP was captured in the Pub area of the building. You will hear Kelley, the owner, talking and while she is talking to our members, a voice is heard. This voice sounds to be that of a young child or woman. What it is trying to communicate, we do not know. Filtered Version Voice 2: Again this EVP was taken from the Pub during our preliminary interview with Kelley. This voice sounds eerily similiar to the "Voice 1" EVP. Filtered Version Whisper: While taking a tour of the basement, this EVP was caught during one of our conversations with Kelley. Kelley's voice is the main voice you hear and in the background is one of the TCPS members speaking. Once Kelley says something about a lock, a whisper can be heard on the recording. Filtered Version Voice 3: This EVP was captured while our members and Kelley were upstairs in one of the hotel rooms. The recording begins with one of group talking and over top of her voice is another voice, which almost sounds male. No males were present nor in the vicinity of this room where the recording was done. Filtered Version Voice 4: Caught in the same room as the previous EVP, this recording begins with one of our members talking. Once she is finished, there is a voice or a sound almost like moaning heard in the background. Filtered Version Voice 5: After the tour of the Palmer, our members went back to the Pub to eat some dinner before heading out on the road again. This recording starts with one of our team stating "What to do today, what to do today?" and then a voice or sound can be heard. This voice again sounds like a scream or loud moan that is also very similiar to the previously listed EVP. "Get lost": This EVP was captured while both of the co-founders were having a tour of the basement. On here, you will hear one of the co-founders explaining something, and during this explanation, a whisper can be heard which almost sounds like "get lost". Perhaps they were not wanted down in the basement at that time? Filtered Version
"It wasn't me": Captured while one of our investigators was upstairs in the costume room. You will hear the investigator clear his throat and then a whisper which sounds like "It wasn't me". Our team member stated that he did not say anything after clearing his throat while recording. As part of our protocol, no whispering is allowed during any time in an investigation, so we do not believe this whisper to be from our group. Filtered Version Whisper: While a group of investigators were heading upstairs in the Theatre, they just happened to turn on a voice recorder and caught what sounds like an unexpected "member" commenting on their conversation. You will hear one of our team members ask, "what'd you hit your head on....not what I'm looking for..". Directly after, you can hear a whisper that was not from any of our group. What exactly is being said, we do not know. Filtered Version "Hey": This is another EVP caught while a team was upstairs investigating. As the recording begins, you will hear one of our members, who was in the hallway at the time, talking to another member who was in the women's dressing room. The voice saying "Hey" sounds as though it is on top of the member's voice who was talking from the hallway. The voice saying "yeah, yeah right", is the member in the women's dressing room. The female EVP voice is not hers although she was the only female upstairs at the time. Filtered Version "Oh, should I?" : This recording was taken while two of our members were heading up the stairs from the basement. They paused briefly because they heard a noise, as you will hear one of them ask whoever made the noise to do so again. After asking, this whisper was captured. Filtered Version "I do" : Captured while investigating the backstage area, or green room, this EVP occurred during a period of time when the group was being quiet. No questions were previously asked before this voice, which sounds like a little girl, was heard later on the recording. Filtered Version "Can you move the car?": Our members captured this EVP while investigating the Stage area of the Theatre. We brought a little toy car with us and had been asking for any spirits there to move it for us. The voice in the EVP is not any of our investigators, but perhaps that of a child mocking what we had been asking all night about moving the car. Filtered Version
"Shhh": As with all our EVPs from this investigation, this was captured in the TV room. The sound is faint, but it is there. This particular EVP was caught about five minutes after one of our investigator's camera went off on its own for the first time during the course of investigating the room. Filtered Version "Uhhh" # 1: This EVP was recorded while one of our members was stating that other people would be coming in the TV room to investigate, basically letting the spirit know more people would be interested in trying to communicate with it. This sound was also captured by another recorder in the TV room at the time, which will be listed below. Filtered Version Whisper: This was captured about 14 seconds after the EVP listed above. Our investigator was telling the spirit that one of our members who would be coming in to investigate the TV room was sensetive and this member might be able to hear the spirit communicate. The whisper almost sounds like "Who", as though the spirit was asking our investigator who the sensetive was. Filtered Version "Uhhh # 2: Same sound as "Uhhh # 1". Filtered Version Noise #1: We do not know what this sound is or where it came from. The investigators present at the time did not hear this sound. A minute before this EVP was caught, one of the members in the room asked for the spirit's name. Filtered Version Noise #2: This EVP was captured seconds after one of our members asked the spirit where it was from. A minute before this EVP, an investigator felt a cold spot in the room as well. Filtered Version Voice: On this recording, you will hear a voice, which we believe says either "go" or "no". This voice overlaps our investigator stating "Cuz I just asked her that". Filtered Version
Unknown Noise: EVP caught in the daughter's bedroom after one of our investigators asked "Did you use to live here?". None of our members present at the time heard this noise. Interestingly, about a minute after this EVP was captured, an investigator's leg became cold. Whether this noise is the sound of someone trying to answer the investigor's question or a playful hum is still undetermined. Filtered Version "Yeah": Also captured in the daughter's room by another group of investigators. One of our members asked if the daughter was scared about thirty seconds before this EVP was caught. You will hear muffled voices in the background of this recording which are not paranormal and are only that of the rest of the members present during this investigation. Filtered Version
Whisper 1: This EVP was captured in the basement after one of our investigators asked if any spirits were present. We believe the voice is saying "better than ending". This EVP also occurred while one of our members felt as though they were being watched. Here is an amplified version of this recording. Whisper 2: While in one of the upstairs bedrooms, this EVP was caught after a member asked if the spirit used to live there. The voice sounds as though it is saying "got to get out". Amplified Version Whisper 3: Captured from a downstairs bedroom while two of our investigators were recording. It sounds as though the voice is saying "blow me...whore". You will hear one of our members speak on this recording too. It is interesting to note that just before the whisper is heard, an EMF meter starts to beep. Here is the amplified version. Whisper 4: This was also caught from the same recording as the above EVP. You will hear one of the investigators was noting that she was reaching in her pocket, in case it was heard on the recorder. After saying this, another whisper can be heard saying "get going", almost as though the spirit was impatient! Amplified Version Music: This was captured from the same location in the house as the previous two EVP's. Both of the investigators present heard this music, as you will hear on the recording. Another of our members heard this a the same time, but while in the basement. Everyone at the site checked their cell phones and no one had received any type of call or text message. We still do not know where this music came from. Here is an amplified version of the music.
"Walk away": Captured from an upstairs bedroom. We think the voice from this EVP sounds a lot like the "I'm not done cleaning" voice from the 12-16 investigation. Whisper: This recording was taken while investigating the basement. We are not in agreement as to what is said in this EVP; some of us heard "where are you?", while others heard "I hate you". You decide for yourself. Here is an amplified version.
"I'm not done cleaning": This EVP was captured in the basement. None of the investigators had asked a question prior to the EVP. We guess she wanted us to know that she was cleaning and we were in her way! Laughter: The EVP was caught while two of our investigators were in the owner's bedroom. While one of our members was talking, some strange laughter can be heard in the background. Oddly enough, neither of the investigators in the room seem to react to the laughing and none of the other members present during the investigation remember laughing at this particular time. "Robert": This EVP was also captured in the owner's bedroom. You will hear the recording become louder and a voice say what sounds like "Robert". One of the investigators present in the room is sensitive and it seems that she also picked up on the name "Robert" after it is heard on the recording. Loud bang: While in the basement, one of our ivestigators asked if there were any spirits there, to let them know of their presence. Right after the question was asked, a loud bang can be heard on the recording. None of the investigators present during this recording session recall hearing a bang. Exhale: This is another EVP caught in the owner's bedroom. An investigator asked a spirit "Is she associated with you?". Shortly after, an exhale is heard on the recording.
Crying: This EVP was caught on one of the staircases on the property. Prior to this sound, our investigator asked if anyone was ever hurt on the stairs. Filtered Version
