Southern Paranormal Investigations Captures Evidence of The Afterlife

San Leon, Texas
Last month, Southern Paranormal Investigations (SPI), founded by Jennifer Parker and Jennifer Hanson,
conducted a private home investigation in San Leon, Texas with three other team members. The home
owners were reporting sightings of non-earthbound entities or ghosts. SPI investigated the home and
caught several Electronic Voice Phenomena or EVP's. EVP's are caught on a digital voice recorder and
is not audible to the human ear, but upon playback can be easily heard. Digital voice recorders
record at a different frequency and thus are able to capture the sounds and words made by ghosts.
In the beginning of the recording you will hear several different recordings of sounds and phrases. At
the end the recording, the group was doing a house clearing. They were attempting to remove the
entities from the house. SPI believes that they have captured the voices of angels and the entity
about to cross over. The clip can be found at www.spi-texas.org or at www.myspace.com/spi_texas.

Southern Paranormal Investigations is located in the Houston area and is not-for-profit, meaning they do
not charge for their investigations. SPI has been together for over a year as a team but combined have over
40 years experience. If you would like a home investigation or have questions, please contact them at
either website above or their email, spi_texas@hotmail.com.

Digital voice recorders record at the same frequencies we hear, although more limited. Most cover only 100 Hz - 3kHz. Human hearing is generally between 20 Hz - 18 kHz. This would make the ear much more sensitive than the recorder. However portable digital recorders suffer from a couple flaws which make them prone to false detection. That being aliasing and poor shielding. Alising results in artifacts which at times can sound like voices, and the shielding issue makes them subject to external interference from other sources. Thus any evidence obtained from a digital voice recorder is highly suspect.

The use of professional quality recorders will minimize these problems since those recorders use higher sample rates and better shield integration. Price is a factor though, most of the suitable units will run $400 and up.
