That EVP Has Class

The three classes of EVPs and how to use them

By: Sam Little

I visit many websites in regards to paranormal research and am also very active on several boards and communities and one question always pops up in the EVP section of these sites and communities. That question is "What are EVP classes and how can you tell the differance?" A very good question I think. The answer lies with the one listening to some extent. I use a scale very simular to most sites I found that have EVPs set into seperate classes. In this article I hope to inform you of those classes as well as show you how to decide where your EVP work is to be put into.

Class C- The class C EVP is the most common type captured. It is very faint, almost whispery even. Class C EVPs almost always require headphones for listening and are very difficult if not impossible to interpret. Most class Cs are noises as opposed to words and sentences.

Class B- Class Bs are a little different. Class B EVPs are more audible. They may require headphones but most do not. You will be able to hear at least a few words out of a sentence in a class B EVP.

Class A- The class A EVP is by far the rarest to collect. Class As are very clear and do not require headphones at all to be heard. Full senetences and phrases can be heard without alteration by way of any editor or other software. Class A EVPs are very difficult to come by.

A few simple things to remember is loud does not mean better. A loud EVP is simply that, not a class A. I suggest downloading Audacity and using it to help you edit your EVPs. When putting EVPs into classes always remember to not place them in to high a class out of hopes of better EVPs, be honest with yourself and the clients you work for. Happy hunting!!!!
