The phenomenon of electronic voice (White noise). Scientists were also interested in this. The "White Noise" phenomenon. Negotiations with the world of the dead Voices of the dead white noise

Early on a June morning in 1959, the famous Swedish film director and producer Friedrich Jurgenson was walking through one of the parks in Stockholm. He had a tape recorder hanging on his shoulder, headphones on his head, and in his hand he held a long pole with a microphone at the end...

The director recorded the voices of birds for his next documentary. Having filled two tapes with the necessary material, Jurgenson returned home and began listening to the recordings. Suddenly, on one of the films, among the chirping of birds, he clearly heard an extraneous male voice speaking in Norwegian. Jurgenson knew Norwegian well and understood that the voice was talking about the sounds made by various birds, and seemed to be commenting on the voice of each bird. The first thought that came to the director’s mind was that his tape recorder had somehow picked up a signal from one of the Norwegian radio stations. However, after making inquiries, he learned that none of them were broadcasting a program about birds that day. Not to mention the fact that the tape recorder is basically incapable of receiving a radio signal.

Having become interested, Jurgenson continued to purposefully study the phenomenon, which later received the name “the phenomenon of electronic voices.” Soon, during one of his experiments, he received a message from his late mother, whose voice he immediately recognized. His mother, German by origin, addressed him in German: “Friedel, my little Friedel, can you hear me? They're looking out for you."

Over time, Jurgenson made recordings of many voices. It was possible to establish the identity of some of them - these were the voices of dead people. He demonstrated these recordings at an international conference, and in 1964 he published the book “Voices of the Universe.” His second book, Radio Contact with the Dead, was published in 1967. Since then, the phenomenon of electronic voices has been studied by many scientists and enthusiasts, but until today a rational explanation has not been found.

The famous Latvian scientist, writer, philosopher and psychologist Konstantin Rau-dive devoted the last 10 years of his life to studying this phenomenon. In 1971, with the help of specialist radio engineers, he made a series of recordings in a special soundproof cabin that also did not allow television and radio signals to pass through. For 15 minutes, Raudive spoke his questions onto a magnetic tape. When the recording was played back, the researchers were amazed: on the tape they were able to count about 200 different voices answering the scientist’s questions.

Raudive carefully recorded the results of his research and later presented them in his book “Discovery.” It provides documented evidence of more than 27,000 such paranormal contacts. Raudive, like many other researchers, had no doubt that he was dealing with dead people, since they themselves gave their names and claimed that they were in another dimension.

On air - space

The phenomenon of electronic voices has not yet been studied and is still of particular interest to various types of researchers. Accumulated evidence suggests that electronic voices accompany so-called white noise. In radiophysics, white noise is usually called stationary noise, the spectral components of which are uniformly distributed over the entire range of frequencies involved. It’s not difficult to hear it: just tune the radio to any free frequency on which no radio station operates. This noise can be compared to the sound of a nearby waterfall. Moreover, white noise can even be seen. To do this, instead of the radio, you need to configure the TV in the same way.

However, white noise is always present at the frequencies involved, it’s just that its amplitude is much lower than the amplitude of the broadcast signal, so we usually don’t pay attention to it.

The nature of white noise lies in cosmic radiation that continuously permeates our planet and is perceived by radio and television receivers.

Electronic voices differ from ordinary human speech in pitch, timbre and special modulations that are not inherent in a living person. In some cases, in order to understand the meaning of what was said, the recording has to be speeded up or slowed down.

Voices can arise spontaneously or at the request of the operator. They can answer questions and take initiative in conversations. Sometimes you can hear two or more voices talking to each other. Electronic voices can sound in different languages, regardless of the location where the signal is received. In any case, we can conclude that these voices behave quite consciously and independently.

SMS messages from the other world

According to one hypothesis, electronic voices contained in cosmic radiation actually belong to deceased people. Which, in turn, would prove the existence of life after death in one form or another, with the preservation of the personality and memory of the deceased.

Another hypothesis, on the contrary, states that the effect of the electronic voice is created by our own consciousness. In psychology, there is a term for such experiences - apophenia, which means a person's ability to see structure or relationships in random, meaningless data. The apophenia effect often occurs when people see human and animal figures in the clouds. This is also typical for believers who are able to see the Virgin Mary and other religious symbols in a cut of wood or a random spot.

Another hypothesis is based on the work of our subconscious. According to it, our brain sends a signal into space and receives in response the same, but already reflected signal.

There are quite a lot of such hypotheses, but none of them can be considered proven or in any way convincing.

Today, there are a huge number of observations of the phenomenon of electronic voices. With the development of technology, more and more devices are able to reproduce and broadcast them. In the era of computers and mobile phones, any of us can encounter this phenomenon. I would like to believe that someday we will be able to establish a stable connection with the afterlife and, sooner or later, an SMS message from an untimely deceased loved one: “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine” will become a common occurrence.

The most stunning cases are difficult to reproduce in the laboratory - you just have to believe or not believe.

Just imagination?

The term Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) describes disembodied voices that can be heard using electronic devices. Many paranormal investigators bring white noise machines into haunted houses in an attempt to hear voices.
In 2014, Michael Nies, an assistant professor of psychology at Lafayette College (Pennsylvania), conducted research that found that people mistake random sets of sounds for meaningful combinations.
Nees believes that trying to hear voices is an audio version of the inkblot test, where everyone sees their own.

Nees divided the test subjects into two groups. The first group knew that the experiments concerned FEG. Another believed that it was studying speech perception in a noisy environment.
The subjects were given audio recordings to listen to, including FEG recordings from a TV show about ghosts, as well as samples of human speech, clear and against a background of noise, and just noise.
Subjects who knew the true purpose of the experiment were more likely to hear meaningful voices in the given samples.
However, only 13 percent of the time FEG hearers could understand the words, compared with 95 percent when it was real speech.
In a report on the results of his experiment, Nies wrote: “In a recent analysis, we showed that the participants' interpretations agreed with the paranormal researchers' interpretations less than 1% of the time. This suggests that researchers need to be more objective."
After reviewing Nies's findings, Office of Paranormal Research Director Lloyd Auerbach wrote, "We are also concerned that attempts to hear voices in white noise are producing so many erroneous results."
He mentioned a 2011 study by his colleagues Mark Bocuzzi and Julia Bichel.
They used a device that produced a stream of short speech elements, creating the illusion of “robot-like speech.” The subject asked questions, and it seemed to him that in a random mixture of speech elements he heard meaningful answers.
At the same time, Bocuzzi and Bichel analyzed the “responses” using speech recognition software.
The answers received by the operator were not confirmed by the program. “These data suggest that interpretation is highly subjective, with the content of the dialogue making sense only to the subject,” they wrote in their report. However, Auerbach noted that sometimes, in very rare cases, even a computer program mistakes the recording for a human voice.
In addition to these very rare instances (which are unlikely to end up on TV, where Nees took his samples), some episodes go much further than a fuzzy voice among white noise.
These episodes are very difficult to confirm. They rely only on the experimenter's report. And they happen so rarely that they are almost impossible to reproduce again.
One of these rare events is described in his book “The Impossible is Possible” by Dr. Imants Barusse, a professor at Royal University College at the University of Western Ontario.
This story was told to Baruss by one of his students.

Strange case

A Barussa student named Angela was in the same room with her mother, who was typing a report on the computer. Suddenly the word “great” appeared on the monitor several times.
The woman found this strange and showed the monitor to Angela, who was also puzzled. Then a dog lying there jumped out from under the table, scaring both of them. Angela screamed in surprise.
The words “damn” and “scream” appeared on the screen.
Deciding that it was a hacker playing around, Angela pulled out the network cable and turned off the webcam.
At this time, Angela's father and brother came in to check what the noise was. A new message appeared on the screen: “Bring the Ouija board.” Such a board was kept in the next room, and Angela went there, and at that moment the screen said: “Boo!” Angela screamed again. “Scream,” said the computer.
Before everyone went to bed, very excited, “good night” appeared on the screen. In the morning there were the words: “Sorry, beloved.”
Her mother received an excellent mark for her report. “Great” is the word that started it all.

Chances of the supernatural?

Bariusse's research does not provide direct evidence of FEG, but he encountered what he called a "statistically rare event." He conducted an experiment with a computer randomly answering “Yes” or “No” to a series of questions. The idea behind the experiment was that if an intelligent entity tried to communicate through a computer, it could influence the random responses to be non-random and answer the questions correctly.
In one test, the computer answered 9 out of 11 questions correctly. The probability of getting this result is approximately 4.2%.
Some other researchers have also tested the Electronic Voice Phenomenon in the past and concluded that it might be supernatural.

For example, philologist Anabela Cardoso published a two-year study on FEG in the journal NeuroQuantology in 2012. She worked in professional recording studios with a high degree of acoustic protection. She concluded: "In the course of many of the experiments performed, several 'extra' voices have been recorded for which no conventional explanation has been found."
During amateur ghost hunting experiments, such acoustic protection is absent.
Auerbach notes that experimenters must “make sure that there are no other sources of sound, otherwise it will be difficult to isolate this possible source of contamination.”
As for the possible source of FEG, Auerbach said there are other possibilities other than ghosts or the subject's imagination. For example, the impact of a person’s biofield on an experimental device.

Do you know what white noise is?

In truth, there is no physical evidence yet that these are the voices of the dead, but no evidence to the contrary has been found either. I think you all know that a movie was made about white noise. The film "White Noise" was based on real events according to versions and experimental developments of scientists. Of course, not the entire film is real, since it needs to be made interesting for a mass audience, but the fact remains a fact.

For the first time, speculation about the existence of this phenomenon was proposed and studied by the Swedish film producer Friedrich Jurgenson. In 1959, he recorded birdsong on tape. There was nothing unusual during the recording until Jurgenson listened to the piece. The film producer heard extraneous sounds on the tape - it was a hoarse male voice in Norwegian.

Friedrich was one hundred percent sure that there was no one near him at that time, so he decided that his tape recorder had inadvertently intercepted and recorded a fragment of a transmission from some kind of Norwegian radio wave. Jurgenson had some knowledge of this language, so after making inquiries, he found out that on that day there were no broadcasts with such text content on any of the Norwegian stations.

Since then, he has conducted tests to study this secret phenomenon. Soon, according to the film producer, he managed to establish contact with his deceased mother. Friedrich Jurgenson was followed by the Latvian psychologist Konstantin Raudiv.

Thomas Edison also carried out similar research. He stated that a person’s personal qualities, such as intelligence and character, do not disappear even after the death of the physical body. They only move to another plane of existence. Thomas was creating an electrical device that would allow him to receive information transmitted by dead souls.

An easy example of white noise: Take a clean (empty) audio cassette, tune the radio to medium or long wave and press the record button. It may not work the first time, but many enthusiasts around the world unanimously agree that the more times you try, the more often you will catch voices. The largest number of white noise voices in the world were recorded near cemeteries, as well as in England near the ruins of castles.

Voices can sound in any language on our planet; by the style and manner of speech, you can determine which era a particular voice belongs to. Usually you can hear one or two words, less often phrases, but messages are an exception only for a select few. This means that messages can be of any nature: starting with threats and ending with revelations of the deceased. White noise threats were lucky enough to be recorded only by those who were confidently heading towards their goal and had been doing this for a long time. On this basis, they concluded that there are guards who ensure that parity between worlds is maintained.

Enthusiasts, as a rule, stop studying white noise after the first threats. This is just one example of threats; there are also specific targeted threats. After such threats, the recipient usually dies. Such cases are known among white noise enthusiasts. In the entire history of white noise, there are only two of them: In two cases, the first warning was ignored. The official version, in both the first and second cases, is suicide, but in reality it is incitement to suicide, but the perpetrators are not material, which means they have no jurisdiction.

Researchers have found that the more we study white noise and try to find out the truth of existence, the more interest “active souls” show in us - these are, as a rule, those souls who want to tell us something. There were cases when wild screams were heard live: “... Save it!!! Help!!!"

After listening to this, your hair will stand on end. The question arises: What is it and who could it be? Are these screams created by “evil souls”? Or maybe hell exists? The messages of “evil souls” produce a terribly chilling impression; after listening to this sound file, I was simply frozen out of terrible fear. I wouldn't be surprised if a few gray hairs appeared on my head.

After reading this article, think about whether it is worth putting your life and the life of someone close to you in danger for the sake of the interest that is tearing you apart. If you disobey the warning and listen to white noise, be vigilant! THEY can get to you...

Carefully! Recording and listening to this program for the faint of heart is PROHIBITED

EVPmaker v2.6 is not a joke and a serious program from German developers. A lot of specialists in different directions were involved in its creation. This project has no analogues in the world. In addition, the program is free.

This program records otherworldly voices (white noise) on a computer. A contained sound signal given by the experimenter from a microphone connected to the computer. Then, if you listen very carefully to this reproduced sound, then in this white noise you will hear voices and even messages. It is possible to contact the experimenter directly.

White noise is stationary noise, with spectral components that are evenly distributed over the entire range of existing frequencies. In nature, white noise is, for example, the monotonous sound of a waterfall. In domestic conditions - the noise of a hair dryer, blender, fan, etc. White noise can also be the sound of a radio or television on an empty frequency.

The famous scientist Thomas Edison was interested in the phenomenon of electronic voice. He even put forward his hypothesis, according to which a person’s consciousness, leaving the body after death, passes into another dimension unknown to science, and from there, with the help of white noise, it can communicate with the living. Edison believed that in order to capture the phenomenon of electronic voice, it was necessary to create a device that would record minimal frequency fluctuations...

Forty years later, Swedish documentary film writer Friedrich Jurgenson was able to confirm Thomas Edison's theory. In 1959, he recorded birdsong in the forest on magnetic tape. While listening to the recording, Jurgenson heard extraneous sounds, or more precisely, a hoarse male voice that spoke in Norwegian.

Jurgenson claims that no one was near him while recording the birdsong. Then he decided that his tape recorder had accidentally intercepted a Norwegian radio broadcast. Jurgenson knew a little Norwegian, and after doing a little research, he found out that on that day there were no radio broadcasts with such text on any of the Norwegian stations.

From that moment on, Jurgenson began conducting experiments with white noise. Soon, he provided evidence that he was able to contact his long-dead mother. After a while, the Latvian scientist-psychologist Konstantin Raudiv began to help Jurgenson.

The voices on the recording can sound in any language, and by the style of speech you can determine which era the voice belongs to. Most often you can hear several short phrases, and sometimes entire messages. These can be both threats and revelations from a deceased person. As a rule, enthusiasts, having heard threats addressed to them, immediately forget about the white noise. There are three cases where researchers received threats from the dead: all three committed suicide.

Researchers say that the more we try to study this phenomenon, the more interested we become in “active souls” who want to tell us something.

Most will say that this cannot actually happen, but even scientists say that there is some truth in this. These are not voices from randomly caught radio stations, since at the moment the electronic voice is played, the sound has a very high frequency, and the voice itself, according to eyewitnesses of the experiments, sounds supernatural and unusual.

According to many scientists, each of us can hear a voice from the other world and begin to contact long-dead relatives. All you need to do is have a device that can record radio broadcasts. And then, tune in to the desired frequency, both literally and figuratively.

The noise on the recording, figures and faces that look like distortions of a television signal, incomprehensible, as if “deaf” telephone calls... These could be attempts at contact by residents of another world. Meet the electronic voice phenomenon.

Researchers of the phenomenon of electronic voices (FEG, English EVP Electronic Voice Phenomena) argue that most of the souls of the dead who remain close to the world of the living are too weak to have a direct influence on it. Therefore, they use the technologies around us: radios, televisions, devices that play music.

Instead of creating sound out of nothing, they manipulate pre-existing electronic signals. What we hear as a result of such attempts is the phenomenon of electronic voice.

Ghosts are malicious and caring

One aspiring comedian was rehearsing for a performance by recording himself on a tape recorder. The process was unexpectedly interrupted by a phone call. Because of him, the man was forced to quickly leave the house and in his haste left the recorder on. When he listened to the recording in the evening, he realized that at the end, against the background of silence (or white noise), the voice of a woman talking to a child could be heard. And then some evil mechanical voice made a couple of caustic comments about some of his advantages hidden under his clothes.

In another case, a young woman suffered from depression and insomnia due to the death of her father. For a week she was treated with medications purchased without consulting a doctor. The woman could not sleep without them. The side effects of such reckless self-medication were not long in coming. One evening, this woman sat down in a chair to watch TV and—this time without the help of medication—suddenly fell asleep. After waking up, among the noise of the out-of-tune TV, she clearly heard the words of her late father: “Don’t do this.” Surprised, she automatically asked: “Don’t do what?” To which the voice replied: “Don’t die today. It is a bad idea".

An unusual adventure related to the phenomenon of electronic voices was experienced and described by the famous American writer Dean Koontz. On September 20, 1988, he answered the phone. A woman's voice spoke on the phone and said only: "Please be careful." The woman did not respond to the writer’s questions and only repeated the warning three times, after which she hung up. A few days later, Koontz nearly lost his life during an argument with his father, who was in a mental institution. In the chaos, he was almost shot by the police, mistaking him for a criminal. The writer later said in an interview that thanks to the mysterious warning he was indeed more attentive, especially since the voice on the phone resembled the voice of his late mother. And there are many such stories.

How to record a spirit?

The origins of the search for electronic voices and the solution to their phenomenon must be sought in the 19th century. During Queen Victoria's reign, science, spirituality, technology and the occult were not as far apart or opposed as they are today. Then the evolution of spiritual entities was described, they were classified according to types and functions. Moreover, it was believed that the souls of the dead could be photographed. None other than Thomas Edison, the greatest inventor of the era, suggested that there might well be a device that would be capable of recording the voices of the dead. Unfortunately, it is still unknown whether he tried to create a prototype of it.

The first person to allegedly register voices from the afterlife was the American Atilla von Saley. In 1949, he reported that he managed to do this using a tape recorder. Over the years, science has advanced and - more importantly - electronic devices have become easily accessible. Over time, the number of people seeking contact with ghosts has increased significantly, according to Jones Zaffis, an expert in paranormal phenomena with forty years of experience. Today, virtually anyone can search for spirit voices using affordable equipment from an electronic store. However, before starting the test, we must understand what or who we are looking for.

What is the phenomenon of electronic voices in practice? Clear, expressive, easy-to-understand words appear on recordings extremely rarely. Even if you hear them, you will need to concentrate very hard to recognize the words and sentences. Most often, the electronic voice “from the other world” takes the form of inexpressive, unclear, quiet noises.

For many skeptics, this is proof that the so-called electronic voice phenomenon is just random noise and interference amplified to sound similar to human speech. However, even among those who believe in the FEG, there is no certainty about exactly where the mysterious voices actually come from. Most, of course, believe that these are messages from the dead. However, there are other theories. One of them, for example, says that these are the voices of completely living people, only from a parallel dimension. And there are other theories according to which FEG is only the result of our subconscious. In other words, we only hear voices because we want to hear them. However, this does not change the fact that in the end they can be useful to us.

How to start your journey into the world of the electronic voice phenomenon?

• With caution and common sense! Under no circumstances should an FEG experience be viewed as fun and games. After all, this is an attempt to establish contact, a conversation, and the interlocutor should be treated with respect.
• Recording equipment is also important. As far as possible, you should always use an analogue tape recorder and high quality tapes.
• The microphone must be free-standing and not built into the device.
• The place and time of recording also matters. Contacts should be made at night, in a place where there is little external noise, for example, away from the roar of the streets or loudly operating devices.

Finally, you can record. How to record an electronic voice? There are two schools of instrumental transcommunication. According to the instructions of the first one, you need to leave the equipment turned on for a while and move away from the recording location. The second school prescribes asking clear, unambiguous questions every few seconds. In both cases, you should then listen to the tape for the barely audible responses recorded. People who are more versed in modern technology can use audio processing programs.

Electronic voices are fading...

Nowadays, we hear less and less about the phenomenon of electronic voice. Paradoxically, modern, complex electronic technology is to blame for this. It would seem that it should increase our chances of contacting the voices of the dead. But instead, the equipment, without our knowledge, improves the quality of the recording, eliminating unnecessary interference, noise, and along with them, mysterious voices. Previously, they were heard more often. Despite this, it is still possible to try to contact the afterlife. However, it is worth remembering common sense and not succumbing to the power of suggestion, interpreting simple noise as someone's voice. Not every attempt to contact the FEG ends in success, but after any of them it is worth thanking those who theoretically could hear us “there”.

Call from the other world

A separate category in the FEG is telephone calls that come from other worlds. The most common variety is a very short but otherwise completely normal-sounding conversation with a family member who has recently died. It happens that the recipients of the call, who do not yet know that the “caller” is already dead, are completely sure that it was a very ordinary telephone conversation.

Another type is a phone call from a well-off friend or relative. And everything would be fine, but this person always later says that he... didn’t call at all. The content of the conversation itself can also be very different. Sometimes this is a completely ordinary conversation, and other times the mysterious interlocutor sounds mechanical, monotonous, somehow atypical. And it happens that in this way information is transmitted that can save lives...

The phenomenon of electronic voice is not as popular today as, for example, in the middle of the last century. But this is connected, rather, with the specifics of technological progress than with the fact that people have ceased to believe that it is possible to establish contact with the afterlife or parallel world. Of course, there is no need to talk about any scientific research related to FEG. However, the phenomenon of electronic voices “has not been canceled”, and every daredevil can try to record them himself. And someone may have a chance to hear them involuntarily...
