Each person will see a different reaction, and it can vary from time to time. I always recommend checking with two questions, before every use. The first is, “What is the response for ‘yes’?” and the second is, of course, “What’s the response for ‘no’?”

I think that a pendulum is a very personal tool. (I also think that some pendulums work better for some people than others do… rather like Harry Potter choosing his wand.)

Seeing your pendulum’s “mood” before each session is smart. It gets you in communication with it, and I think it acknowledges its power, in a way.

I’m interested in using a crystal for locating more “active” rooms. but i can remember if it rotats clockwise or counter clockwise that there is lots of activity and of what type. i can’t remember. does any one know anything about this?

Rich, you asked about voice recorders for EVP. I don’t know any devices that let you listen at the same time as you’re recording… not so you hear what’s actually recorded, anyway.

In most cases, people don’t hear anything — even through headphones connected to a recording device — when they record EVP. It’s only heard on playback, later.

I think that’s a lot like orbs and other anomalies in photos. We don’t usually see the anomalies that show up in the pictures, later. There may be some indications that it’s a good photo, but — until we look at the picture — we can’t be sure that anything odd is in it.

You’re right that it seems futile to record EVP when you can’t respond to what the ghosts say. If the EVP recording is clear, you might be able to ask a question, wait, play back the recording for the answer, and then ask the next question, etc.

Because I’m a psychic, I can often ask questions and get internal answers. I like to work with other psychic ghost hunters, such as Gavin Cromwell, to confirm or clarify the responses that I perceive. It really helps to have a second opinion, to reduce the influence of our internal filters.

So, I can usually get a good idea of whether anomalies are likely in EVP or photos. But, that’s still no guarantee.

Generally, computers are useful for filtering out external noises such as cars passing or planes overhead. But, in theory, you should be able to listen to the recording “as is” and hear the ghostly voice/s.

Fiona.
I am looking into buying a Electronic Voice Recorder to see if we can get any EVP recordings.
Is there such a device we can buy that if we hear something speaking into it and hear it at the same time. Or do we have to rewind and playback later. If we have to listen later, doesn’t it defeat any purpose asking the spirit questions if we cannot repond to them?

Another question: Once we do get an EVP, does it HAVE to be heard on a computer? My computer is having a problem with the audio program. I cannot hear any music, podcasts, or movieclips. I now, it’s sad.
That would also leave out the “Audacity Audio Editor”.

Thanks.
