The link explain some of the problems of building a totally effective Faraday cage. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/topic/227264-ghost-box-the-faraday-cage-addition/
Just been listening through some of my old Evp clips and on reflection some of them are a real stretch.
Don't get me wrong, I've never lied or altered audio clips (apart from cleaning them up) but honestly over the course of nearly four years I probably have about four clips I would stand by.
There is a tendency to make things fit when listening through and submitting audio, not intentionally but certainly subconsciously. If you're listening for a response, you'll hear it.
Jolyon Jenkins reports on the world of electronic voice phenomena (EVP) - the community of people who believe that the dead can speak to us through radio transmissions and white noise. The technique wasintroduced to the English speaking world by a mysterious Latvian, Dr Konstantin Raudive, who travelled to Britain in 1969 with recordings of Hitler, Churchill and Stalin speaking from beyond the grave. The method is now a mainstay of paranormal investigators. Jolyon unearths tapes from 40 years ago made at a key séance held by Dr Raudive in Gerrards Cross. Raudive eventually came to believe that a budgerigar called Putzi was passing on messages from a dead 14 year old girl. Jolyon speaks to EVP current practitioners, and to a man who believes that his recordings of animal noises also contain messages.
People who hear voices can detect hidden speech in unusual sounds
People who hear voices that other people can't hear may use unusual skills when their brains process new sounds, according to research led by Durham University and University College London (UCL).
The study, published in the academic journal Brain, found that voice-hearers could detect disguised speech-like sounds more quickly and easily than people who had never had a voice-hearing experience.
The findings suggest that voice-hearers have an enhanced tendency to detect meaningful speech patterns in ambiguous sounds. ...
Newly published research indicates there are differences in sensitivity to perceiving speech within sounds, and people who report hearing anomalous voices seem to be among the more sensitive in this regard. This suggests some folks are particularly attuned to discerning speech within sound fields, and it adds evidence to the notion that hearing voices isn't necessarily a symptom of mental illness or delusion.

It sounds very interesting.
I couldn't help but be particularly thrown by this sentence though:
Raudive eventually came to believe that a budgerigar called Putzi was passing on messages from a dead 14 year old girl.
Poor budgie, there you are miles from your ancestral home and your thousands-strong flock, trying to make peace with that budgie in the mirror, eating your millet and suchlike, and some ruddy dead fourteen year old keeps messing with your chirping.
I will keep an open mind until i've heard the programme. But I do feel a simpler explanation for evp is always going to be that the human mind has an amazing aptitude for hearing sense in randomness (or seeing patterns in things generally and interpreting them as meaningful). I mean mishearing a tiger that's not there is never going to kill you, but mishearing one that is will get you into trouble.
Do you mean they are actually detecting speech or thinking they are detecting speech and are acting as interpreters? Because I've never really been convinced by EVP.
I don't think we have a thread on Possessed Budgies but I can't imagine it would be a long one.

Hi Ringo,
EDIT: Sorry i may have confused you with my original post. The original deliberate recordings i did were with a ghetto blaster which did have an external microphone, the accidental recording was with a midi-system.
