    Absolutely identical John!!! The exact same click I get constantly in my recordings, identical!!! At times some of the clicks are louder than others, like it’s dropping into the recorder. With what happened to my own personal recordings on Monday, “they” took it one step further in proving just how much “they” can do. It sounded as though my recorder was being turned around on the mantle right before “they” turned it OFF at the 18:12 mark. Mind you, my recorder can go on forever and I had fresh batteries in the recorder. It sounded as though someone was holding it themselves and absolutely turned it OFF. You should have seen the shock on my face. No real words being said but the recorder is littered with clicks of different intensity.

    John, this is OUTSTANDING……some of your best recordings yet! “Please give me a sign”…LoL, sounded like it stepped on your recorder at the end, LoL, how’s that for a sign. This is an excellent upload babe! Clip one blew me away cause for a moment, it was soooooo clear, I thought that was you speaking though it wasn’t quite the tone of your voice. You seemed to have at least 3 of them tapped in all at the same time during that recording. It’s just incredible how reactive “they” are to your requests and mine for that matter. As you know, even the orb action I get are just like that, very reactive to my request, even if it’s one or over a hundred like last weekend. I really do that the orbs and these sounds are one of the same and if that’s the case…..I wonder if these orbs are indeed actually spirits and if they ARE, then the “sacred spot” is brimming over with activity there. I’ve got to record there!

    This just blew my mind, I did not expect to hear this John and the clicks are spot on with what I get all the time, some stronger than others, even on the phone. Most interesting, is it not ;-) Superb upload John, thank you for sharing this with us all and Jim, from YT, has confirmed what you and I have been feeling all along. It’s in your comment section ;-)

    Have a Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat Day, Goldie~*~

    You know John, in clip #1 when you say “unknown whisper”, if you can listen in closely with a pair of GOOD headphones, it sounds like the conversation is, “Greyburn here” “whisper” “I know.” I can hear the word “whisper” before the words “I know.” Woah, I tell ya, you’ve got to go to Best Buy and pick up these BOSE headphones. You will be amazed by the quality of sound that comes through and just how much clearer the words really are. This is amazing!

    Good to know you are receiving the exact same clicks. I was just listening to our new recordings from Monday and one location has lots of clicks, while the others didn’t have any – so, again it confirms that the clicks are dependent on the level of activity. When my mom received “Greyburn here”, she was completely alone. I was probably a good 75 yards or more from her location at that time and the voice sounded as if it was right near her microphone. If you listen closely, you’ll even hear a light click right in the middle of “Greyburn” as it’s being spoken. Cool stuff!

    You’re right about the whisper sounding as though it’s saying, “whisper.” I thought I heard that when I was creating the video, but I wasn’t absolutely sure. I definitely want to pick up some headphones like yours & enhance the experience! Thanks for confirming it. :)

    The more I’ve listened to my recording at the mine, after the footsteps stop, the more I can pick up the intent of quick movement towards the recorder. Whoever it was seemed highly inspired on moving right to the device.

    That’s awesome that your recorder was interacted with to the extent of being turned off! I’m definitely interested in hearing what you find once you begin recording at your favorite spot. Based on the level of activity you’ve encountered, I would imagine your recordings will have a lot of interesting sounds. I’ve noticed an increase in disembodied sounds in our last few outings as well. While most people associate EVPs with voice phenomena, there seems to be a good percentage of inaudible sounds and noises which can only be heard on playback as well.

    Talk to you soon, Goldie. Thanks again!

    Thank you for the awesome comment back John and I’m pleased to know that I wasn’t the only one that thought I heard “whisper” right before the “I know.” LoL, for some reason it’s amusing to think that the spirits still talk to each other as they would if they had a human body. You already know how deep of a level this communication between you and I can get regarding the after life so I’ll save that for another time ;-) I did want to mention something odd and not normal of the house I’m in right now—not a single click, clap, knock sound all day long. Not a one! Also, I haven’t had any thump sounds over my head in the ceiling like I usually do. It’s been an odd quiet day. I didn’t realize just how much I like hearing that activity through out my day. Which also tells me, it/they ARE something that comes and goes from this house. It’s not based on the location of this home at all, it’s something that wonders. Very interesting hey? No need to comment back dear friend but I thought you might like to hear of the quiet day I’ve had. I could bet you money that odd sounds and voices would be picked up at MY home. Hate to say it, I seem just a bit closer to saying the heck with it and taping in my bedroom………or am I ;-)

  5. Goldie Says:

    Forgive me dear friend, I just listened to this upload AGAIN ;-) and your right, there are about 6 steps taken almost immediately after you ask for communication, darn near instantly upon your request and WOWEY WOW, that crunch sound on your recorder sounded HEAVY!!! Indeed like a stomping the recorder into the ground or dropping a massive boulder on it. What I also find interesting, I didn’t mention last night, was how right after the crunch of your recorder, your hat just happened to blow off your head. Yes, there was a breeze BUT, reaaaaaaaaally strange timing between when the stomp sound that happened and when your hat came off. You definately had 5-6 things that happened after your request for communication within the short 15 seconds time span. Remarkable!

    I just love listening to our EVP recordings. I really can’t get enough. OH, I also forgot to tell you that I left my recorder in my SUV the other day, again to test if “it’s” something that follows me or stays put and I just heard it this morning. While the couple of words aren’t very clear, the sounds of movement on my recorder were very pronounced! It lasted, off and on, for about 2 minutes. My SUV was parked in the carport so there was no movement of other people or animals near by. Strange. I mean, why linger in the car??? Then again, maybe “it” knew I was taping and that’s where the recorder was at, who knows. Lastly, I taped my midnight bird last night for 12 minutes and waited till morning to hear what was taped. The taping was succesful but upon playing it back over coffee this morning, it was erased somehow. Track 9 was there last night!!! Track 9 was NOT there this morning. LoL……strange days indeed!

    Yeah, the footsteps are very faint initially, but they quickly increase as they get closer to the recorder. The more I’ve listened, the more they seem to have an obvious heel, toe step as well. The steps are not at all a sliding sound in the gravel, but instead they have all the typical characteristics of human footsteps.

    I was curious about the bird and if he continues to arrive at his usual spot. You absolutely are having very interesting things occurring with your recorder! As I said, “People are strange, when you’re a stranger…” ;) – speaking of myself of course.

  7. Goldie Says:

    Noooooo, your speaking of me and didn’t even know it ;-) One of my top favorite songs by The Doors as I could always relate it no matter my age, being strange, not the wicked women part ;-)

    Yeah, I’m usually in bed by then and have my wind tunnel effect happening but, as you know, at times his song is so STRONG that it pulls me right out of my sleep. I did record his song the other night, hoping also to pick up some EVP out there, and only taped for about 15 minutes. I checked to make sure it tapped and pushed the “hold” button to save it. Upon waking, anxious to hear what I got, the entire track was gone! Not sure what happened but it was no longer there and I was thoroughly disappointed. When I have heard “my bird,” yes, he’s ALWAYS in that massive tree out my bedroom window. He never sits and sings at any other tree, just that one tree and always right around midnight.

    Off note, I did it! I taped in my bedroom. (Gasp!) I’m pleased to say (or am I?) that not a single click, thump or voice was heard. Whew! I came home from the “sacred spot” taping, and WOW the results from that John, and thought, “why not?” That had to be the quietest recording I’ve experienced yet. I look forward to sharing with you the results from the SS (sacred spot) and on that note, happy exploring!!

  8. John Wolfe Says:

    Very nice regarding the bedroom taping! Was it the feeling of being relieved, yet slightly disappointed at the same time? I’m still not taping at the house, but I am getting antsy about wanting to use the KII meter in a dark location. The lights are much easier to detect in the dark.

    On a related matter, I found out Olympus is bringing out a whole new line of recorders, so my attempt to pick up a third version of our current model isn’t going to work; it’s been discontinued. I’m going to check Staples and see what they are now carrying – still going to stick with Olympus. I’d like to have the third one ready to go for this week’s recording session.

    Woah, instead of harassing you my “ususal” way ;-) I thought I would drop you a line on here this early am letting you know that the living is ALIVE and kicking today. Same 2 female voices and speaking back and forth much more than EVER before. Seems I hit a hot spot in sharing just how limited my time is with “them.” John, I’m talking in less than 2 minutes, action kicked in big time! Oh, get this, around 13 minute mark, there is a sound of a door slamming! Not a click by any means, full on door slam sound, all the while my recorder sits perfectly still on the mantle, all alone in the quiet living room. Just in case, I checked the whole house for a shut door….nothing, all doors were wide open. I mean………..Wow!! :-) I can’t wait to tape tonight after the girls are in bed!! Seems this is getting more intense with each passing day……sure am going to miss this location soon, sucks “pine-apples” big time ;-) Couldn’t resist……LoL. You don’t EVEN want to know how the “pine-apple” was finally pushed through last night, poor little thing!

    Have a great day dear Friend, Goldie~*~

  10. John Wolfe Says:

    That’s awesome about the slamming door sound! Hmm, must have been someone shutting a door on 98.5 Kiss FM or someone’s cell phone or walkie talkie… LoL, yeah right. Keep up the great work and research as much you can. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
